1799D8074Leipzig: Friedrich August Leo 1799. Hardcover. Very Good. Small 4to 140 x 106mm. iv 91pp. 29 finely hand-colored engraved plates fully captioned depicting costume and peoples of the world. Period boards backed in cloth; some light outer wear early ownership signature in ink on top edge of front free-endpaper and title page light marginal thumbsoiling of plates; else contents are clean; very good. <br/><br/>Childrens book of Continental costumes printed in Leipzig at the turn of the 19th century. A rare illustrated work first published in 1796 plentiful in delicately hand-colored engravings of native peoples from around the world. This the second part was probably written solely by Karl Seidel a teacher at the Tochterschule Public Girls School in Dessau. This Gallery of People was designed as a picture book for young children not yet in their early childhood to expand their knowledge and satisfy their curiosity about faraway lands. The first part not included here included nations professions and items that were sorted in alphabetical order from Abbess Admiral Amazon and Armenians to Dwarf Gypsy and Wizard. The lives portrayed are wide ranging and include simpletons butchers slaves gardeners and fools. This second part organizes the peoples usually a man woman and native all with appropriate props by continents: Asians Africans Americans and Indians and Europeans. The illustrations for Native American peoples are of high interest not only for their expert work but for the range of tribes and geography even the Acadian peoples of Canada are represented. This type of book departs from the common ABC books as the pictures and text have a social studies meaning. Rarely found only two copies located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and at Princetons Cotsen Library. Friedrich August Leo hardcover
18852007Philadelphia: S.n. 1885. Leather over boards. Oblong duodecimo. 54 leaves. Near fine. Leather over thin board with gilt-stamped upper board. Professionally restored with about half of the original gilt-ornamented spine retained. Wesson's name card laid down on front pastedown. A fantastic and eclectic trove of 19th century autographs collected by one Edward Wesson apparently associated with the Continental Hotel in Philadelphia. The autographs range from military figures to actors and actresses singers diplomats explorers and more. <br /> <br /> Some of the most notable figures whose autographs appear here include Ulysses S. Grant Edwin Booth William Tecumseh Sherman P. T. Barnum King David KalÄkaua of Hawaii Henry Ward Beecher David Ross Locke aka 'Petroleum V. Nasby' and Hannibal Hamlin Vice-President under Abraham Lincoln. There are also autographs from survivors of the tragic Jeanette Expedition to the Arctic including John W. Danenhower Louis P. Noros William F. C. Nindemann and George W. Melville. Among the other entertainment figures of the day to sign Mr. Wesson's album were actresses Maggie Mitchell and Emma Abbott and several others. <br /> <br /> Of the 54 leaves only 5 are blank on both sides with the remaining 49 having autographs on one or both sides and one autograph on the recto of rear free endpaper for a total of 57 autographs in all.<br /> <br /> The album originated at Philadelphia's Continental Hotel one of the grandest and most socially prominent establishments of the 19th century. Opened in 1860 and famed for hosting presidents generals and celebrities-including Abraham Lincoln who stayed there en route to his 1861 inauguration-the Continental stood as a national landmark until its 1924 demolition to make way for the Benjamin Franklin Hotel.<br /> <br /> Apart from a single tipped‑in signature from a Mayor of Mt. Vernon NY every autograph in this volume is penned directly onto its original pages. This is of vital significance because unlike albums assembled from clipped signatures from various sources this is a continuous artifact: the very book that moved through the hands of each signer. To hold it now is to experience that unique connection with each of the historical figures who once inscribed it. <br /> <br /> A truly remarkable artifact. (S.n.) unknown
