1923192991Shanghai: Printed and Published at the Statistical Department of the Inspectorate General of Customs 1923. Second edition following the first of 1912 of this bilingual reference for customs service employees and those serving on private vessels. Though unmarked as such this copy was formerly owned by Lester Knox Little 1892-1981 the service's last inspector-general and was acquired by a private collector from his family in 1999. This handbook is scarcer than most customs service publications most copies likely not surviving the ravages of use onboard ship. WorldCat shows that the New York Public Library holds both editions and a copy of the second can also be found at Cornell. Small octavo. Folding Chinese compass diagram. Original yellow boards green cloth backstrip covers lettered in black. Old red ink manuscript corrections on p. 25 of English text. A little dust-marking: a near-fine copy. hardcover

1790ST14261Paris: Drouhin 1790. FIRST EDITION. 265 x 205 mm. 10 3/8 x 8". Two volumes. <br/> VERY ATTRACTIVE CONTEMPORARY MARBLED CALF GILT IN A NEOCLASSICAL DESIGN covers with a cresting palmette frame featuring ornate urn ornaments at corners flat spine divided into compartments by Greek key roll floral spray centerpieces one green and one black label marbled endpapers. With 55 PLATES OF COSTUMES designed by Philippe Chéry and engraved by Pierre-Michel Alix 50 of these PRINTED IN COLOR five in black and white a couple of these with color highlights applied by hand and with a color portrait of the author from the 1802 edition tipped in at front. Colas 717; Hiler p. 542; Lipperheide 3203; Cohen-de Ricci 227; Brunet IV 1135. One corner worn to board joints and extremities lightly rubbed but the bindings lustrous and generally very attractive. First volume slightly browned throughout second volume occasionally so volume II with two-inch marginal stain to upper gutter affecting four quires and six plates but not touching text or images two plates with pen marks in margins touching lettering but not image other trivial defects but still an excellent copy internally the colors especially clear and pleasing.<br/> <br/> This is an elegant production with the Neoclassical binding being the perfect complement to the color engravings of ancient Greek and Roman costumes that illustrate the present history of theatrical attire. In the two volumes here theater critic and historian Jean Charles Le Vacher de Charnois 1749-92 covers Classical tragedies and comedies as well as later interpretations of these dramas by playwrights including Racine. Le Vacher de Charnois intended a series of books encompassing as the title indicates theatrical costumes from all nations and from the ancient to the modern; however the French Revolution interrupted his scheme and as a monarchist he was imprisoned in 1792 for his writings in support of the aristocracy. It was long thought that he had died in the massacres at the Abbaye prison in September of that year but later research indicates that he may have been executed during the Reign of Terror in 1794. The artists who illustrated this work were at the opposite end of the political spectrum. Painter Philippe Chéry 1759-1838 studied with Jacques-Louis David and adopted his master's passionate support for the Revolution as well as his Neoclassical style. Engraver Pierre-Michel Alix 1762-1817 was a specialist in color printing best known for his portraits of leaders of the French Revolution and later of Napoleon and First Empire dignitaries. While the handsome binding here is unsigned the palmette roll on the covers is very similar but not identical to one used by Bozerian see Culot "Jean-Claude Bozerian" roll #44 and plate #XXIV. Perhaps our binder had trained in that atelier as the design and workmanship are certainly of that level. Drouhin unknown

1787ABC_49498The Netherlands The Hague 1787. 8vo. Contemporary marbled paper wrappers sewn through 4 holes. Kept in a custom burgundy cloth case with a leather label on the spine lettered in gold. With 6 full-page numbered engraved plates vividly coloured by a contemporary hand. 16 pp. Second copy located of the second edition of an extremely rare work on 18th-century Central European military costumes. The work was first published in folio format in The Hague in 1742 with the title referring to the Central European soldiers in the service of the "Queen of Hungary" meaning Maria Theresa 1717-1780 ruler of the Habsburg monarchy from 1740 until 1780 and the "King of Prussia" meaning Frederick II the Great in/of Prussia 1712-1786. The title of the present second edition refers to the "Emperor" and the "King of Prussia" most likely meaning Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II r. 1780-1790 and either King Frederick II r. 1740-1786 or King Frederick William II r. 1786-1797. Thus the second edition was probably published after 1780 and possibly in 1787. Two English/French editions were published in 1742 and 1743 in "London" possibly meaning The Hague by Guillaume Meyer.The present copy contains 6 beautifully contemporary hand-coloured engravings of Central Europeans in their military costumes. They show: 1. Hallas Peter a Colonel of a corps of Hungarian nobles on horseback; 2. Captain of the Croats; 3. a Croat soldier; 4. a Slavonian from a historical region in present-day Croatia; 5. an officer of the Ulans also Uhlans originally Lithuanian irregular cavalry later generally meaning a lancer in service of the King of Prussia; 6. ordinary Ulan a lancer.With the book plate of F.C.
