159866701598. 22 leaves including some blanks or pages ruled in ink for entries. Agenda format 315 x 100 mm. stitched as issued uncut. Nuremberg: 1598.<br/> <br/> A fascinating document of a type that rarely survives: the manuscript account book for the spring 1598 Leipzig fair of Hans Straub I or the Elder 1541-1610 the prominent Nuremberg gold- and silversmith alderman and son-in-law of Wenzel Jamnitzer the best-known German goldsmith of his time. The first leaf bears Straub’s hallmark interwined initials “HS†over an arrow pointing upward within a plain shield & also containing the inscription “No. 72â€. Our manuscript sheds important light on the business relations in the late 16th century between the Nuremberg goldsmiths and their trade at the Leipzig fairs.<br/> <br/> Our account book is a list of sales orders and expenditures of Nuremberg goldsmith Hans Straub the Elder during the Leipzig Easter fair held in May 1598. While Straub is not expressly named he can be identified by his hallmark on the first leaf. At the fair trade was done in goblets rings knife-sheaths cutlery jewelry gemstones etc. Several business partners are named including the Nuremberg goldsmiths Heinrich Hahn Haan David Lauer and Paulus Koch. As an example of a transaction we see that the council of Halle paid over 33 florins for a goblet.<br/> <br/> In 1596 Straub was elected Alderman of the Artisans the most elevated and honorable office to which a Nuremberg artisan could aspire. Straub retained this position until his death in 1610. In 1569 he married Anna daughter of the famous goldsmith Wenzel Jamnitzer. On his father-in-law’s death in 1585 Straub inherited his casting molds and used them extensively in his own creations. Despite his long period of activity relatively few pieces made by Hans Straub have survived see Nürnberger Goldschmiedekunst 1541-1868 2007 ed. by Karin Tebbe et al.

1750B4SB1E23SY47Nuremberg 1750. Ca. 39.5 x 71.5 cm. Kept in a white passe-partout. One large etching. Large etching with a spectacular night view of a fireworks display during the Nuremberg peace festival. This event took place in Nuremberg in July 1650 to celebrate the end of the Thirty Years' War 1618-1648 one of the most devastating conflicts in European history. The festival was intended as a sign of hope for a better future in Europe and particularly Germany. The present etching may have been printed to spread this message of peace.The Thirty Years' War started as a civil war within the Holy Roman Empire but eventually became a wider European affair. Primarily fought in present day Germany however it brought disease and starvation to the region and depopulated large areas. After five years of negotiation a peace treaty was finally signed in October 1648. Any remaining unresolved issues were negotiated during a major diplomatic congress held in Nuremberg between May 1649 and July 1650. When the negotiations were concluded a peace festival was held which included a large fireworks show. The present etching shows this spectacular display with the numerous skyrockets shot from all sides of the castle. Remarkable details are the burning statue in the middle and the men with flaming swords surrounding it.The image was engraved after designs by German artists Peter Troschel ca. 1620-after 1667 and Michael Herr 1591-1661. In was first printed in 1650 and included a title at the top and a legend at the bottom. The present version most likely dates from the middle of the 18th century but has been significantly enlarged especially lengthwise. These new proportions make the image even more spectacular.The work has been folded in the past the lower part of the left margin has been restored insect droppings in a small area on the left side of the head margin not affecting the etched image. Otherwise in good condition. unknown

25574LETTERS: 9 July 1953 and 11 May 1954. NOTE: 14 July 1953. All three items on letterheads of the Royal Courts of Justice Strand London WC2. The third letter gives an excellent indication of Birkett’s pride in his use of language. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The recipient Vere Henry Collins 1872-1966 was an author and grammatical stickler. All three signed ‘Norman Birkett’. In fair condition lightly aged and little grubby. The first letter with a small hole to one corner and the two leaves of the last letter held together with a pin. ONE: ALS 9 July 1953. 1pp 4to. He is adding Collins’s book to his ‘select library on “wordsâ€â€™. ‘I am afrait that “finalise†is in frequent use as “I was sent to finalise the arrangements†and it is often used by witnesses in court and sometimes not without protest from me by barristers.’ He ends: ‘But the purpose of this letter is to thank you if somewhat belatedly for the interest you took in the subject of my address and for your kindness in writing to me.’ TWO: ANS 14 July 1953. 1p 4to. He has no objection if Collins adds the note he sends him ‘to the book now at the printers’. He will get ‘One Word and Another’ when it is published. THREE: ALS 11 May 1954. 3pp 4to. He will read the book Collins has sent him with great pleasure ‘for as you know anything written about words has a great fascination for me’. Turning to Collins’s ‘criticism of some remarks of mine uttered in the course of an after-dinner speech’ which have appeared without Birkett’s knowledge or consent he is for the most part in agreement ‘but I take it a little hard that the unpremeditated effusion of the moment should be treated as though it were a carefully prepared essay. I will say no extempore speech can survive a scrutiny such as the scrutiny you send to me.’ With regard to Collins’s seven points he feels he should ‘keep in mind the difficulties of extempore speaking. The perfect word does not always come readily to the tongue. The sentences do not always flow as one could wish and the “verbal expert†seated in his comfortable study might make a little allowance for human frailty!’ In the following paragraph he turns the tables on Collins analysing his use of language in his letter to Birkett. With a veiled criticism of Collins he explains how ‘the lover of words as I am can become a “tiresome pedant†’ Collins’s criticism has clearly hit home as Birkett adds a fourteen-line postscript in his distinctive close hand ending: ‘I cannot even be sure that the reporter took down accurately what I did say: I had no notes and never dreamt that what I said would receive this unwanted publicity and subject me to the criticism of lovers of good English!’ LETTERS: 9 July 1953 and 11 May 1954.

1978100985New York March 21 1978. 1978. Very good. - Over 350 words penned on both sides of his personal 10-7/8 inch high by 7-1/4 inch wide stationery. Responding to a brief mailgram he received from Hervey on March 19th informing him of her mother Faith Baldwin's death. Rabbi Kurt L. Metzger writes a lengthy consoling letter. "Though it is always bitter and painful to loose sic a dear one and especially a mother such as yours I do hope that after the initial experience of her passing away a feeling of gratitude will replace your emotions of sorrow. For the last two years must have been for your mother a horrible period of frustration since she was no longer able to live a life of independence." He describes how she has been relieved of her pain and frustration at "no longer being able to use her God-given gift of being productive in the literary field in which she has secured for herself the immortality of an extremely beloved and highly appreciated author." He hopes that although her mother has passed they will stay in touch "and continue a relationship which I enjoyed with your mother so much over the years." Signed "Kurt". Folded for mailing with a short tear along the left edge and offsetting near the middle. Very good with the original mailgram from Hervey. <p>A friend of Faith Baldwin Rabbi Kurt L. Metzger 1909-1992 was born in Nuremberg and was the Rabbi of Landau from 1935 to 1938. He was arrested while attending the Jewish Theological Seminary and incarcerated at the Buchenwald concentration camp for months but eventually released to serve as the Rabbi of Nuremberg. Metzger immigrated to the United States in 1940 serving as Rabbi of Temple Beth El in Glen Falls New York. The last Rabbi of Nuremberg he returned to visit Germany several times after he was and was named the Honorary Rabbi of his former native town of Nuremberg in 1977.<p>The American author of romance novels and other fiction Faith Baldwin 1893-1978 often wrote of women juggling careers and family enabling working women of all ages to identify with her characters. As a youth Baldwin lived for two years in Europe living in Dresden with one of her mother's close friends while the First World War was raging. She learned German and went to cooking school before returning to the U.S. in 1916. She began working for the War Camp Community Service where she met her future husband.
