117273Ala fin: Toulouse B. Sirven sans date années 50. A l'italienne 288 images:chacune de 6 x 8Cm. et 4 de 165 x 24 Cm. 25x31 Cm9. Album cartonné les deux plats sont illustrés en couleur. Plats et charnières un peu frottés. Coins émoussés. C'était dans les années cinquante une pratique publicitaire assez usuelle que celle d'offrir dans les tablettes de chocolat des images à collectionner que l'on collait ensuite dans des albums imprimés par la marque concernée. Les "doubles" faisaient l'objet d'échanges et chaque enfant collectionneur tentait souvent en vain de compléter le fameux album. Celui-ci est bien complet de toutes ses images y compris aussi des 4 plus grandes apogée de la collection. L'ensemble est composé de chapitres distincts: "Histoire de l'Aviation" "Le Tour du Monde en Avion" "Bateaux" "Fleurs" sans doute pour penser aux filles et enfin le plus "spectaculaire" sans doute "La Vie en l'An 2000". Bon exemplaire malgré quelques petits défauts habituels. Ala fin: (Toulouse, B. Sirven), sans date (années 50). unknown
18902876San Francisco: Louis Roesch Co 1890. Very Good. Single leaf red-brown color some tears and small chips along the edges. Advertisement for a school children's "Play Day" at the Sutro Baths in San Francisco which included bell ringing acrobatic feats dancing and a special performance from the London Patomime and Comedy Company. The Sutro Baths 1896-1966 was a public saltwater swimming pool in San Francisco built and owned by entrepreneur and former mayor of San Francisco Adolph Sutro and heralded at its opening as the world's largest indoor swimming pool. Sutro's idea was to provide an inexpensive recreational swimming facility mainly for the working class of San Francisco. In true progressive spirit Sutro also included natural history exhibits at the entrance to the baths as an educational opportunity. However due to their high maintenance and operating cost the baths were eventually converted to an ice skating rink and then sold in 1964 to property developers. A fire in 1966 destroyed what remained of the baths. Throughout its lifetime the Sutro Baths were the setting for a handful of films including two short films in 1897 by Thomas A. Edison and the 1958 American film noir "The Lineup." This leaf was likely an early promotional piece for the Sutro Baths. Louis Roesch Co unknown

215601Japan. Large striking colour poster 120 x 49.6cm. This poster has been folded causing three horizontal creases and another vertical running the full length of the long sheet. Repairs to folds including some colouring along paper abrasion on folds on image itself. Still a lovely poster. This beautiful colour advertisement poster promotes the moth-proof serge kimono fabric from Budōseru Grape Brand Serge. Serge kimonos became highly fashionable in Japan around the turn of the 20th century. The merino wool was imported from Australia being regarded as the most suitable fibre for single-layer kimonos. However woollen fabrics were susceptible to insect damage. To combat this issue the Grape Brand Serge manufacturer developed a moth-proofing treatment utilising chemicals from the German company Bayer. According to the poster Bayer's compounds were used and their treated serge was marked on the selvedge as "moth-proof Budo serge". This processing took place at their factory in Aichi Prefecture. <br> <br>In the foreground a classical Japanese beauty graces a hillside elegantly attired in a purple kimono with a parasol in her hand. Her black obi bears an unusual rainbow design. The artist's signature appears in the lower left corner. . unknown

1787016686Poultry & Lombard Street London: Charles Dilly & James Phillips 1787. Octavo pp xx 51 a little age-toning and discolouration the title page more marked and with a small old paper repair to the upper corner a near contemporary signature - "R. Prime" - to the title page otherwise very sound internally. in a later twentieth century simple quarter calf binding a little marked and faded the boards slightly bowed. Of great interest is the seedsman's advertisement bound in at the front - Observations on the Culture of the Mangel Wurzel by Jenkins and Gwyther Nursery and Seedsmen New Road and in the Regent's Park. Ths extends to two and a half small sides folded and marked with the remains of an address and a postmark on the final side. Lettsom's work is rare anyway and I can find no trace of another copy of the Jenkins and Gwyther advertisement. Abbe de Commerell had a great interest in husbandry and made a special study of vegetable and fodder crops. Seed of the mangel wurzel fell in to Lettsom's hands and after sowing it at his botanic garden at Grove Hill he found that it produced an excellent crop for both humans and cattle. He immediately commissioned a translation which went in to three editions within a month. His efforts fell on stony ground and he was somewhat derided for his enthusiasm. Shortly in to the next century however it was greatly taken up by farmers. It was at this time that Jenkins and Gwyther issued their little pamphlet. Their nursery at Regent's Park subsequently became the gardens of the Royal Botanic Society. The owner of this copy was Richard Prime of Walberton House near Arundel. Prime a strong Tory was M.P. for the western division of Sussex 1847-54 and the dominant figure in Walberton in his day. Blanche Henrey 556. Second edition. Quarter leather. Good.
