19037827Cleveland Ohio: Cleveland Faucet Co.; printed by A.C. Rogers Co. 1903. Octavo stapled in wrappers 18.5 x 13 cm. 80 pages. Illustrated. Indices of cocktails and drinks and of hardware products. Printed in black red and yellowish brown throughout. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. A dual-purpose trade catalogue and cocktail recipe book issued by Cleveland Faucet Company makers of bar fixtures hardware and equipment. Seventy cocktail recipes plus additional recipes for tinctures colorings essences and syrups and prepared cocktails for bottling and fruit wines and brandy. In 1883 three Ohio natives Messrs. Collins Weatherhead and Mayer founded Cleveland Faucet Company a brass foundry specialized in a combination pump and faucet. Their "specialties are absolutely unrivaled for utility quality and adaptability to the purposes required of them and have no superiors." Leading Manufacturers and Merchants of the City of Cleveland and Environs. Akron 1886 page 172. Their first trade catalogue was issued in 1885 and a 48-page combined trade catalogue/drinks manual was published in 1897 titled Catalogue B was reissued in 1899 now under the title Catalogue B and Bartender's Guide. Following the 1902 publication of Mixed Drinks the company offered a number of smaller 24 page catalogues with recipes titled Fancy Drinks or Fancy Drinks and Latest Toasts. Not only is Mixed Drinks the most ambitious of these catalogues with nearly twice as many recipes but it is also the most fanciful with illustrations of gnome-like characters throughout the text and on the five-color decorated wrappers. The wrapper cover illustration is positively psychedelic depicting four gnomes in a wooded glen enjoying beer being poured from a pump and is initialed in the print "H. C.". The more traditional rear panel of the wrapper contains images of three of the manufacturer's plants one each for a Carbonic Gas Plant the Pump and Brass Department and the Woodworking Department. But even these are framed in a decorative Art Nouveau botanical motif. Some soiling and spotting throughout; a few leaves creased which appears to have been a printer's error. Light soil to the wrappers; corners bumped. Includes a cancel leaf with information about 1903 prices. Rare. OCLC locates no copies; Romaine page 21 refers to an 1894 trade catalogue by the firm; not in Noling Beverage Literature. Cleveland Faucet Co.; [printed by A.C. Rogers Co.] unknown books
177097Birmingham or Sheffield 1770. Oblong folio. 390 x 220 mm. 15 1/4 x 8 3/4 inches. Vellum spine over decorative blue paper wrappers paper label with title in Italian on upper board and ink title in Italian on spine. Paper stock toned with age a few leaves with staining in the margin otherwise in good condition. Silversmith model book containing 80 full-page engravings of candles sticks and holders candelabra pitchers plates salt and pepper shakers serving utensils silverware and other household pieces. Each image is beautifully and careful engraved with rich detail and ornamentation. Each includes a printed product number as well as one in ink with a different item number and a price. Although there is no title-page or signatures of engravers this large sales catalogue appears to be English as some of the engravings have English words of explanation engraved in the text. The binding is definitely Italian and the paper label is in an Italian hand. The watermark is a "fleur de lis" pattern suggesting an international company manufacturing the silver. There were only a few English companies with the capacity to export at this time including silver works in Sheffield and Birmingham both of which by 1770's had established networks of dealers selling their wares across the continent. This catalogue with specific Italian connections is very unusual and suggests the scope of the business had reached export capacity by the third quarter of the century. The most important Italian silver makers at this time were Giardini of Rome and Venuti of Naples. unknown books

Text on the recto reads "These Dining and Restaurant Cars run on the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad between Chicago and Omaha are in all respects the most luxurious traveling conveniences on the American continent. A bottle of fine French wine is served for an additional fifteen cents with an Extra Fine Meal for which only seventy-five cents is charged. Passengers will bear in mind that these are not the commonly-called Hotel Cars with their attendant high prices and bed-room odors. Our Dining Cars are used for no other purpose. All meals on Overland Trains are served in them. A. Smith Sup't Dining Car Line." The company became the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad in 1866 the company changed names frequently. In the mid-1870s the company established its Chicago-Omaha route. As such this card likely dates between the mid-1860s and mid-1870s.

Pelletan served as the director of the Compagnie de Sénégal the administrative company for the colony in 1787 and 1788 though the present work was composed from memory while Pelletan was imprisoned in 1793 at the height of La Terreur. The "Mémoire" provides geographical descriptions of the western coast of the African continent as well as an account of imports and exports the latter chiefly rubber and slaves Pelletan mentions 1000 to 1200 perhaps for the years under his administration prior to the suppression of the slave trade. The second half of the work deals primarily in describing the ravages of the slave trade on the country and it people: "It is without a doubt that the abolition of the slave trade will completely change the face of the region devastated for centuries by ceaseless warfare crippled by the enslavement of portions of its peoples and depopulated by this horrific commerce conducted by degraded persons and greedy European merchants who can only satisfy their avarice at the price of the blood and freedom of these miserable Africans" our translation; pp. 48-9. Pelletan also dedicates brief sections to the moral and physical attributes of the Senegalese inhabitants as well as a description of their homes and pottery before proposing a detailed outline for a newm post-slave trade colonial government for the region.
