While still drawing from the experience and works of "antiquarians" who studied antiquity in a more amateurish and occasional way the authors of the present works attempted to work more methodically towards greater discoveries. This renewed interest in antiquity and the move to studying it in a more scientific way came as a result of several major 18th-century discoveries like the Herculaneum 1709 Pompeii 1748 and the Rosetta Stone 1799 see ad 4.Naturally Egyptology is also a well-represented subject in the present work. It includes a fabulous depiction and detailed description and explanation of the Nile mosaic of Palestrina ad 5 a floor mosaic depicting the flow of the river Nile from the Blue Nile in Ethiopia to the Mediterranean Sea. Additionally the study of hieroglyphs and differing views on deciphering the Ancient Egyptian scripts can be found in ads 3 and 4.Philology in this case the study of language in written historical sources not in oral ones is a returning subject in many of the essays in the present work including the Christie's auction catalogue since it comprises a list of written historical sources in the form of oriental especially Ethiopic manuscripts collected by James Bruce. Four works by the abbot and scholar Jean-Jacques Barthélemy 1716-1795 are also included. He was the first to decipher two alphabets of ancient extinct languages: Palmyrene and Phoenician. His works also include descriptions depictions and explanations of Phoenician medals and the collection of texts in the present volume ends with an engraved example of the Phoenician alphabet.The monogram on the binding based on Louis XIVs but with a counts crown instead of the royal crown suggests that the collection was bound for a Bourbon Count Louis in the mid-19th century. Olivier Reliures armoriées Françaises records many examples with the royal crown but only one with a counts crown plate 1095 no. 3 and it does not resemble the present one and is much older: Ange-Laurent de la Live de Jully 1725-1779. Boards slightly worn mainly at the extremities occasional foxing and browning mainly to ad 3 and 4 fore-edge of ad 1 and foot of ad 3 and 4 slightly frayed upper headband broken but complete.

77 Vols., folio, numerous illustrations throughout, first 6 volumes bound in orig. publishers cloth, re-backed, the rest bound in half hard grain morocco, spines lettered in gilt, some light rubbing but a very nice usable set. A complete run cover the nineteenth-century of this highly important and influential architectural periodical. Originally published as a weekly magazine from 31 December 1842 onward, complete runs such as this are extremely rare. Each volume is illustrated large woodcut illustrations showing newly designed buildings by the major architects of the time. "The most informative and influential works in the field of architecture... incomparable in the scope and range of their coverage, and they form an extraordinary record of aesthetic and cultural progress not only in the United Kingdom but around the world... yet the wealth of architectural information in The Builder... still lies buried in the weekly descriptive reports on literally thousands of buildings that include churches, schools, hospitals, town halls, libraries, market halls, office blocks, factories, private houses, court houses, hotels, workhouses, monuments, public baths, exhibitions halls, clubs, and even cemetery monuments, public parks, and engineering structures. These articles do not appear to have ever been methodically examined or presented in a digital format in a manner that can be easily used by historians, architects, artists, heritage planners, conservation officers, community heritage groups, students, restoration consultants or anyone in the related fields of research or in the building trades."?Robert G. Hill.

[Johannes Cornelis?] Mets, a Dutch resident of Surabaya, who acquired it in 1933, upon embarking on a trip to Egypt which lasted over a month. An avid traveller, he visited practically all of the places which were described in Carter's book, and took pains in specifying next to the appropriate place name or picture in the book the exact date of each and every visit. The set, particularly volume I, bears his annotations, signatures, remarks, and dates of visits which evokes the spirit of early explorations. Beinlich-Seeber 4804

Three volumes. I. Text: Quarto. Pp. xlviii, 209; II-III. Plates: Two Imperial folios with a total of colour 104 plates, 52 in each volume. Hardcover, uniformly bound in the original publisher's cloth, bit rubbed in places. In a very good condition. ~ First edition. An outstanding production. Collotype is one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process, it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios, and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms. Coloured collotypes the size of the plates in this set are very rare in book production, so much so in such superb quality. Reproduced extensively ever since the publication of the book, the grandeur of the original collotypes is breathtaking. Beinlich-Seeber 6273.
Royal quarto. Pp. 71, plus 24 chromolithograph plates, mounted on card and protected with tissue-guards. Plus frontispiece map. With 2 text figures. Hardcover, bound in original publisher's full cloth extra, richly decorated. A fine copy with just few minor blemishes. ~ First English edition. Karl Friedrich Heinrich Werner (1808-1894). Born and trained in Germany, Werner traveled extensively in Egypt and Palestine and produced there many splendid watercolours. The plates in this book are pantographic copies from the original watercolours, traced by mechanical means from the original. This method, however, could not reproduce the fine colouring which was done separately. The plates are accompanied by descriptive texts written mostly by Alfred Brehm (1829-1884) and Johannes Dümichen (1833-1894); both also wrote the preface.
