Two printed titles with elaborate engr. architectural borders woodcut initials 1 of 2 engr. portrait in the text and 49 engr. plates in vol. 1 33 34 on 1 leaf and 24 engr. plates in vol. 2. Text printed in 2 cols. 9 of 10 unn. leaves; 3 unn. leaves. Oblong folio 280 x 350 mm. 17th cent. marbled boards new endpapers. Leiden Henricus Hondius 1604-1605. First edition of Vredeman's "Perspective" issued by Hondius and printed simultaneously also in French Dutch and German. Present here is the valuable Latin version "the classical language in which Vredeman's architecture is clad and thus becomes timeless in its character" Millard p. 20f. This is one of the most celebrated works on such a subject and was issued by the Flemish born Hendrik Hondius the Elder 1573-1650. The plates for the most part are engraved and a few signed by him after Hans Vredeman. Plate 14 in part 2 is after Paul Vredeman and 4 plates in this part are signed with the monogram DB probably Theodore de Bry or Bartholomaeus Dolendo. The painter and architect Hans or Jan Vredeman de Vries was born 1527 to a German soldier in Leeuwarden Netherlands and probably died in Antwerp 1604. "The King of Architects" Fowler together with Hans van Schille worked at the fortification of the city of Antwerp and also at the triumphal arches built for the entry of the future Philip II into Antwerp in 1549. As a consequence of the religious upheavals of the period Vredeman worked in Hamburg Danzig and Prague before returning to Holland. He wrote and illustrated the present guidebook on perspective for designers painters and architects. It became one of the major books on this subject and through Vredeman de Vries' various publications he is recognised as the "foremost among sixteenth century Netherlandish architectural authors" Millard p. 19. The two volumes illustrate stage perspective interiors furniture palace and garden architecture. Vredeman de Vries was capable of truly artistic landscaping in the Northern Renaissance and served as a model for some patrician gardens in Germany cf. E. Haupt Baukunst der Renaissance in Frankreich und Deutschland 1916. The book includes a number of scenes and projections employ one-and-multi-point perspective. These were essential demonstrations for artists of those days. This work on perspective summarizes Vredeman's knowledge of art science and geometry. This copy has the same collation as the Fowler copy at Johns Hopkins University library which also lacks at the beginning of vol. 1 the leaf A1v with an engraved portrait on left half and a printed poem on right half of this leaf.

Portfolio tanned bowed and slightly marked with a short split to the foot of the upper joint; ribbon ties frayed; wrappers of the text volume a little creased; plates are generally a little offset onto the conjugate leaf and about a quarter of them have a very short split at the foot of the fold; the first plate is discoloured from contact with the binding of the text volume; these are relatively trifling blemishes that do not detract from what essentially an excellent example of a beautiful publication. Number 117 of 500 copies of the trade edition a further 200 'hors-de-commerce' copies were also printed as well as a deluxe edition of 20 copies. This suite of plates is the lavish pictorial record by the official artist of the Expedition Citroën Centre-Asie colloquially known as the Croisière jaune the Yellow Cruise.

The Life of a Nobleman

1825007994London: George Henderson. Printed by George Dawe who also was engraver 1825. First Edition. Full Morocco. Near Fine. Suite of nine hand-colored aquatint plates depicting the louche hedonistic and self-destructive life of a young aristocrat. Bound by Riviere & Son in full red morocco with ruled border raised bands other gilt decoration including turn-ins marbled endpapers. N.d. circa 1820s. 4to. 31 by 25 cm. No title page -- this was issued as a suite of plates not in a book form. A blank sheet in front two in back and tissue guards between plates. Each plate is depicting a scene and basically a step in the descent to self-destruction by the young buck aristocrat. Scenes are The Inheritance The First Party The Night House in other words the bordello The Betting Booth at the racetrack The Gambling House The Usurer The Mess Room clearly the dining room of an elite military unit The Duel and finally The Sick Room. We would note that the Usurer has the casual anti-Semitic trope so prevalent throughout history of the hook-nosed lender. The artwork has a pleasant slightly naive quality with the loosest of adherence to perspective. The settings are generally quite resplendent capturing Regency England grandeur perfectly. Scarce. Yale has several copies. Only two other complete sets held by institutions according to OCLC First Search one at Harvard and one somewhat later and published by Tegg at the Art Institute in Chicago. The Henderson version clearly the first was issued without color we would add. The Harvard Hollis catalogue gives no indication whether the copy at Houghton has hand-coloring -- something that Hollis generally will denote if it does. No copies found in commerce on date of this description was prepared. Light wear to binding. Light soiling in the margins of the plates. Pictorial elements consistently bright and attractive. George Henderson. Printed by George Dawe, who also was engraver unknown

DISSERTATION SUR L'ORIGINE ET LES PROGRÈS D L'ART DE GRAVER EN BOIS

175876869Paris: J. Barbou 1758. unbound cord tied housed in a green half-morocco goat over cloth boards clamshell case spine tooled in gold leaf with title author and date. large 12mo. unbound cord tied housed in a green half-morocco goat over cloth boards clamshell case spine tooled in gold leaf with title author and date. 92 3 pages. Pour éclaircir quelques traits de l"histoire de l'Imprimerie & prouver que Guttemberg n'en est pas l'Inventeur. Very rare first edition Bigmore and Wyman p.227. Unbound textblock lightly soiled with minor creasing at corners. Faint moisture staining throughout with some affecting the text. In this text Fournier sets out to prove that Gutenberg was not the inventor of the printing press by examining the history of printing. He believed that the technology Gutenberg made popular existed long before the German printer's work. Fournier also followed up this text with two additional works which are not present: De l'origine et des productions de l'imprimerie primitive en taille de bois 1759 and Observations sur un ouvrage intitulé Vindiciae Typographicae 1760. These two works provided further discussion of the origins of woodcut prints including a passage refuting popular belief about the origin wood engraving and some ideas for further study. Fournier 1712--1768 was born in Paris and trained as a wood engraver and type founder being a member of the 18th century dynasty of the well-known Fournier family. He later turned to steel engraving. He published a table of the proportions of the different printing characters whose purpose was to propose for all typefaces a fixed measurement in "typographic points" and a systematic gradation. He worked closely with the collaborators of the Encyclopédie providing the printer Le Breton with all the documentation relating to the typographic foundry and plans for his own instruments as well as providing Diderot with his collection of ancient alphabets. Finally after multiple disputes with his Parisian colleagues he became infamous for the printing of his famous Manuel Typographique 1764 1766 just prior to his death. J. Barbou unknown

Repaired marginal tear to title to Tome 2 repaired corner tear to 327/8; overall a near fine example of this finely illustrated work with text and plates clean and crisp. . Edition: First Edition Binding: Contemporary decorative calf; expertly rebacked; boards with central gilt medallions; spine with five 5 raised bands flanked by horizontal gilt fillet and decorative rolls with gilt designed corners and centres in compartments and gilt lettered title on morocco label on two; all edges red. Notes: Publius Ovidius Naso or Ovid 43 BC â€“ AD 17/18 was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus. A contemporary of Virgil and Horace he is often ranked one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature and enjoyed enormous popularity. Augustus sent him into exile where he died. Today he is best known for his Metamorphoses a 15-book continuous mythological narrative written in the meter of epic and for works in elegiac couplets such as Ars Amatoria "The Art of Love" and Fasti. His poetry was much imitated during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages and greatly influenced Western art and literature. The Metamorphoses remains one of the most important sources of classical mythology. The Metamorphoses Ovid's most ambitious work was written in dactylic hexameter about transformations in Greek and Roman mythology set within a loose mytho-historical framework. The characters in this work undergo many different transformations. Within an extent of nearly 12000 verses almost 250 different myths are mentioned; each myth is set outdoors where the mortals are often vulnerable to external influences. The first book describes the formation of the world the ages of man the flood the story of Daphne's rape by Apollo and Io's by Jupiter; the second Phaethon and the love of Jupiter with Callisto and Europa; the third focuses on the mythology of Thebes with the stories of Cadmus Actaeon and Pentheus; the fourth on three pairs of lovers: Pyramus and Thisbe Salmacis and Hermaphroditus and Perseus and Andromeda; the fifth on the song of the Muses which describes the rape of Proserpina; the sixth on the rivalry between gods and mortals beginning with Arachne and ending with Philomela; the seventh on Medea as well as Cephalus and Procris; the eighth on Daedalus' flight the Calydonian boar hunt and the contrast between pious Baucis and Philemon and the wicked Erysichthon; the ninth on Heracles and the incestuous Byblis; the tenth on stories of doomed love such as Orpheus who sings about Hyacinthus as well as Pygmalion Myrrha and Adonis; the eleventh on marriages of Peleus and Thetis and the love of Ceyx and Alcyone; the twelfth moves from myth to history describing the exploits of Achilles the battle of the centaurs and Iphigeneia; the thirteenth discusses the contest over Achilles' arms and Polyphemus; the fourteenth moves to Italy describing the journey of Aeneas Pomona and Vertumnus and Romulus and the final or fifteenth opens with a philosophical lecture by Pythagoras and the deification of Caesar. The end of the poem praises Augustus and expresses Ovid's belief that his poem has earned him immortality. In analyzing the Metamorphoses scholars have focused on Ovid's organization of his vast body of material. Ovid engages creatively with his predecessors alluding creatively to the full spectrum of classical poetry. This 1732 first Amsterdam edition is superbly illustrated employing copper plate engravings attributed to the Dutch: Balthasar Bernaerts engraving c.1711â€“1737; Jacob Folkema 1692â€“1767; Wouter Jongman engraving c.1712â€“1744 Joseph Mulder c.1659/60-; Jan Schenk engraving c.1731â€“1746; Jan Wandelaar 1690â€“1759 Philip Van Gunst 1685â€“1732; the Flemish: Martin Bouche c. 1640â€“1693 Frederic Bouttats c.1610â€“1675 Peter Paul Bouche c.1646- and the French: Bernard Picart 1673â€“1733; after the works of the Dutch: Louis Fabritius Dubourg 1693â€“1775; Godfried Maes 1649-1700; Jan Punt 1711â€“1779; Jacob De Wit 1695â€“1754; the French: Charles LeBrun 1619â€“1690; Sebastien Leclerc 1637â€“1714; and the Italians: Giulio Romano 1499â€“1546; and Pietro Testa 1612â€“1650.

Binding: Contemporary quarter morocco over marbled boards; spine with six flat gilt ruled bands forming five blind compartments with gilt lettered title on two and gilt date on four. Notes: Text in Russian. The Russian art periodical publication or gazette of printed collections of lithograph scenes was a chronicle of currents of the life of Russia published by leave of the Royal Family and by the artist himself - painter and draftsman - Georg Wilhelm Timm also known as Vasily Fyodorovich Timm or Ð’Ð°ÑÐ¸Ð»Ð¸Ð¹ Ð¤Ñ‘Ð´Ð¾Ñ€Ð¾Ð²Ð¸Ñ‡ Ð¢Ð¸Ð¼Ð¼ 1820-1895 a Baltic-German painter lithographer and ceramic designer known for his genre and battle scenes; the period extending over 12 years from 1851 to 1862 in St. Petersburg. Having travelled extensively throughout Russia serving as a battle painter during the second phase of the Caucasian War he was chosen in 1852 to accompany the Tsar Nicholas I on a visit to Finland his main task continuing to faithfully share his impressions without criticism or analysis. Later he would make sketches of the Siege of Sevastopol at the height of the Crimean War of 1853-1856. In 1855 this earned him the title "Academician" conferred by the Imperial Academy. In 1860 the collection was compiled and an index of drawings prepared. The publication discontinued in 1862 due to the weakening condition of V.F. Timm's eyes. Scenes from Petersburg life portraits of popular figures reproductions from paintings cartoons etc accompanied by brief explanatory texts had been a great success with the public the complete series of having featured 432 illustrations with Timm referred to as the "Russian Gavarni" having primarily worked with lithography and woodcut engravings.

IN CAMP AND CABIN. MINING LIFE AND ADVENTURE IN CALIFORNIA DURING 1850 AND LATER

1901ST20777Lodi Wisconsin: J. Steele 1901. FIRST EDITION. 232 x 155 mm. 9 1/8 x 6". 81 pp. Original green faded to brown printed paper wrappers. Housed in a fine modern caramel-colored morocco clamshell box with gilt lettering on spine. Inside front wrapper with ink signature of M. R. Skinner; occasional pencil underlining in the text. Howes S-924; Graff 3964; Streeter 3027; Wagner-Camp 244 note. Top inch of spine chipped away a little fraying to edges first three leaves with overall browning minor corner creases but QUITE AN EXCELLENT COPY of a very fragile item clean and fresh internally with the insubstantial binding entirely intact against all odds. Based on the author's diaries written between September 1850 and July 1853 this work as the introduction tells us lays out events "just as they happened" being "ludicrous solemn serious tragic inexpressibly sad but always interesting." Kurutz calls the book a "detailed and important account of mining life" and notes that Steele "provided important information on mining techniques and laws while laboring in the Coloma District and on the Yuba and Feather rivers." This account includes some fascinating stories about the many hardships and dangers experienced by the author and his associates including nearly constant fatigue and hunger dreadful weather conditions and dicey encounters with desperados dishonest miners and disgruntled frontier men of commerce. John Steele 1832-1905 was only 18 years old when he left his home in Wisconsin for the gold fields of California. After three and a half years of adventuring he returned to the Midwest where he pursued a career in teaching. Steele also volunteered for the Union army during the Civil War and spent the last 30 years of his life as a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church. The present work was privately printed by the author in a small number of copies and is as expected quite rare on the market now. Besides the present one RBH lists just two other copies sold since 1981 and as of this writing no other dealer seems to be offering one. Furthermore our copy is a remarkably well-preserved survival with its delicate wrappers and text in condition as attractive as one could hope to find. J. Steele unknown

De Natura Rerum et Temporum Ratione. Libri Duo. Nunc recens inventi & in lucem editi

675816 p.l. 74 leaves. Folio later vellum-backed boards foot of spine defective occasional light soiling & dampstaining. Basel: H. Petri 1529. First edition of the two texts together. The De Temporum Ratione is a significant book in several ways. Most notably "this book helped to establish the custom of counting years from the birth of Christ. When we say that Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926 not 'in the 16th year of the reign of George V' or 'in the year 2678 after the foundation of Rome' or in the '2nd year of the 481st Olympiad' we are indebted to the Venerable Bede."-Printing & the Mind of Man 16n. "Bede's greatest practical effect was on the Western calendar. His decisions beginning the year calculation of Easter names of days and months calculations of eras and so forth in most instances finally determined usage that was only refined not changed by Gregorian reform."-D.S.B. I p. 565. "The De Ratione Temporum first published in 1505 is particularly important. It contains a remarkable theory of tides based upon Pliny but also upon personal observation; first mention of the establishment of a port i.e. the mean interval between the moon's meridian passage and high water following; this interval is different in different ports."-Sarton I p. 511. Pierre Duhem described Bede's establishment of a port as the only original formulation of nature to be made in the West for some eight centuries. This is the first printing of De Natura Rerum which contains such physical science as was then known. It collects the wisdom of the ancient world on these subjects and has the special merit of referring phenomena to natural causes. It contains a particularly important section - the "De Comptu vel Loquela digitorum" - which is "our main almost our only source for the study of mediaeval finger reckoning or symbolism."-Sarton I pp. 510-11. See also Smith History of Mathematics II p. 200. This work was edited by Johannes Sichardt 1499-1552 professor of law who during the years 1526-30 lived in Basel and while teaching also edited and prepared for printing Latin manuscripts he had found in libraries in monasteries. He also served as adviser to the Basel printers Cratander Bebel and Henricus Petri. Good copy preserved in a box. Early signature of "Mallarii" on title with motto in Greek.

From an early age Cho studied â€œwritings on human nature and principleâ€ sÅngni chi sÅ æ€§ç†ä¹‹æ›¸ â€” that is Neo-Confucianism. As one text on his life put it he â€œtook this Confucian culture of ours as his personal duty.â€ Choâ€™s life was tied up with the factional conflicts that saw Sejoâ€™s usurpation of the ChosÅn throne in 1455. Cho was among the â€œlarge numberâ€ of officials who â€œviewed the new ruler with distaste on moral groundsâ€ Edward W. Wagner The Literati Purges: Political Conflict in Early Yi Korea p. 9. After Sejo demoted the previous king giving him the title Prince Nosan and subsequently had him killed Cho â€œgot hold of a stone and neither cutting nor polishing it wrote in his own hand and had it inscribed â€˜Here rests Cho Sang-châ€™i the exiled Deputy Education Intendant of the court of Nosanâ€™.â€ As recounted in one of the texts gathered in this collection he thus signaled his opposition to the new king. Cho was posthumously honored in the late 18th century. The book contains a Prefaces by Pak YÅng-wÅn æœ´æ°¸å…ƒ 1791-1854 and Yi Han-Ång æŽæ¼¢è†º 1778-1864 the latter dated 1854 and the colophon by Yi Hwi-ryÅng æŽå½™å¯§ 1788-1861. Interesting features of our book include the use of the reign of the Korean kings for dating â€” â€œkabÅn the sixth year of the reign of the present king Châ€™Åljongâ€ ä¸Šä¹‹å…å¹´ç”²å¯… is the date of Yiâ€™s Preface â€” and the margins that cut through columns where the first character has been raised in deference to the dynasty. A note toward the end of juan 1 9a says that the two pieces that follow had been missed when the book was â€œfirst printedâ€ châ€™ogan åˆåˆŠ implying an earlier edition. We are not aware that one is extant however. Cho SÅg-u is listed as the author in the Korean Old and Rare Collection Information System as well as in the Jangseogak catalogue whence our attribution of authorship. Fine copy.

942552 folding leaves. Large 8vo 298 x 190 mm. orig. patterned semi-stiff wrappers wrappers a little soiled old stitching stitching partially defective. Korea: Preface dated 1801 Afterword dated 1816. A very rare edition of this collection of documents relating to seven men and their actions during the Imjin War and the Manchu invasion of Korea in 1636. The invasions of Korea first by the Japanese in the 1590s and then by the Manchus in the 1620s and 1630s were important moments in the course of events that led to the rise of the Manchu Qing empire in continental East Asia. The large-scale fighting and movement of troops from Japan and China into the Korean peninsula in the late 16th century mark a watershed in Korean history. The cost of the wars also severely weakened the Chinese Ming dynasty which eventually collapsed in 1644 ushering in an entirely new balance of power in the region. The â€œseven worthiesâ€ of the title include Pak Kwang-jÅn æœ´å…‰å‰ 1526-97 style name Chuk-châ€™Ån or Juk-cheon ç«¹å· and his sons KÅn-hyo æœ´æ ¹å 1550-1607 and KÅn-je æ ¹æ‚Œ all of whom distinguished themselves during the Japanese invasion in the 1590s and grandsons and great-grandsons who resisted the Manchus in 1636 as commanders of irregulars. Our copy has a Preface dated 1801 by Song Hwan-gi å®‹ç…¥ç®• 1728-1807 a ChosÅn scholar-official. Song writes that â€œin the history of armed invasions of our dynasty none were more brutal than the two disorders of the imjin 1592 and pyÅngja 1636 years.â€ Four generations of the Pak family â€” â€œfathers and sons ancestor and descendants older and younger brothers uncles and nephewsâ€ â€” had distinguished themselves during those trying times. Song ends the Preface by saying that â€œthe person who now came to ask me for my text is Chae-hwan an eighth-generation descendant of Chuk-châ€™Ån.â€ The wording suggests that Pak Chae-hwan edited the work hence our attribution of authorship. We find no matches to our copy in either WorldCat or the Korean Old and Rare Collection Information System KORCIS. In addition to the Preface dated 1801 our copy has a colophon pal è·‹ by Yi æŽé¶´ä¾† also known as Yi Châ€™Ång æŽ 1792-1861 dated 1816. Some copies described in KORCIS have 20 characters per column while our copy has 19 on some pages and 18 on others. Some catalogues ascribe authorship of the book to Pak Chung-hong æœ´é‡æ´ª 1802-72 probably because one edition of the present work was published in 1856 along with a collection of Pak Kwang-jÅnâ€™s works that Pak Chung-hong edited. This is the case with the Harvard-Yenching copy K 5568.2 4398 4 WorldCat 40280697 which has a Preface dated 1856 byÅngjin ä¸™è¾°.
