1895007828Detroit Michigan: Acme White Lead and Color Works 1895. Very Good. Rare unusual paint company promotional and customer aid tool with 22 color plates which one can scroll up or down with two side roller handles. Houses are generally rather grand shingle houses such as one finds still in old upscale and formerly upscale suburban communities or old-time seaside resorts such as line the New Jersey shore. The houses today are widely known by the over-general label of Victorian or just slightly more specificet also somewhat inaccurately as Queen Anne-style homes but regardless have sprawl a charming assymmetry large windows promising sun-drenched rooms and expansive porches or verandahs typically. N.d. circa 1890s. The oak box measures about 40 cm in height 46 cm wide and about 13 cm deep. The window which reveals the scroll's panels in the front is an oblong 29 by 37 cm and of course these are the dimensions of the individual panels. The Acme company was incorporated in 1884. The paints being promoted here became popular; they were appreciated for their fast drying properties. The company later became known as Acme Quality Paints. It was acquired or absorbed by Sherwin-Williams in the 1920s or 30s. This contraption is a rare survivor. The only institutional copy of which we are aware is at the Athenaeum in Philadelphia but this copy has only 15 of the 22 plates that we have here. We believe that the same plates may have been issued in book form and in that form may reside also at the University of Pennsylvania. Condition: some side chipping or tearing of the scroll. The scroll turning becomes somewhat sticky around plate 15 -- this we believe can be ameliorated. And any user should operate the turning with great prudence and care.

XIV-295 pp demi-basane bleu nuit moderne à la bradel, couvertures et dos conservés 1850, 1850, in-8, XIV-295 pp, demi-basane bleu nuit moderne à la bradel, couvertures et dos conservés, Envoi de l'auteur en première de couverture. Édition originale de cet important traité, peu courant, sur l'intoxication par le plomb. Jean-Louis Brachet (1789-1858) étudia la colique de plomb dès 1824, en publiant son opinion sur le siège et la nature de cette maladie dans le Journal général de médecine ; il en fit l'objet de ses leçons après avoir admis en clinique onze cas d'intoxications en 1845. « After a long history of the ills suffered by workers in contact with lead, Brachet attributed a pathophysiology to saturnism involving the "ganglionated nervous system". As a sanitarian, Brachet recommended replacing ceruse with zinc white to reduce the toxicity of paints ». Médecin et chirurgien lyonnais, Jean-Louis Brachet est avant tout connu pour ses recherches en neurophysiologie, en particulier sur l'hystérie. Cachet ex-libris du Dr Carrier de Lyon. Bon exemplaire, en dépit de légères rousseurs pâles et de quelques feuillets brunis. O. Walusinski, "Jean-Louis Brachet (1789-1858). A forgotten contributor to early 19th century neurology". Revue neurologique 171 (2015) pp. 688-697
