1905WRCAM32109Godthaab Greenland 1905. Lithograph 10 1/2 x 16 1/4 inches. Worn along left edge small closed tears along top and bottom edges of center fold. Two old soft secondary fold lines. Very good. An attractive image showing a family of Greenlanders sledding and skiing down a hill likely produced by Lars Møller Greenland's premier printer or by Møller's youngest son Steffen. The illustration shows a family of seven Greenland natives sledding down a hill while two other youngsters ski alongside with one of the skiers in the process of falling. Other winter sports enthusiasts cavort in the distance and the stark Greenland landscape is ably depicted. Lars Møller an accomplished printer and illustrator was the dominant figure in Greenlandic printing in the last quarter of the 19th century producing much of the printed output in the country. His son Steffen succeeded his father and produced impressive works in his own right including a native language speller from which this illustration may be an example.

169568499Lipsiae Leipzig: Thomas Fritsch 1695. Hardcover. Very good. Silius c.28-c.103 was consul in 68 and governor of the province of Asia in 69; he sought no further office but lived thereafter on his estates as a literary man and collector. He revered the work of Cicero whose Tusculan villa he owned and that of Virgil whose tomb at Naples he likewise owned and near which he lived. His epic Punica in 17 books on the second War with Carthage 218-202 BC draws heavily on Livy's account. Conceived as a contrast between two great nations and their supporting gods championed by the two great heroes Scipio and Hannibal his poem is written in pure Latin and smooth verse filled throughout with echoes of Virgil above all and other poets. Includes supplementary material by the German classicist Christoph Cellarius. 22 586 52. Frontispiece engraving with a title page decoration and six folding maps. 12mo. In a contemporary full vellum binding. Typical mild browning to the contents with a negligible spot to the top edge. Minor soiling to the vellum; otherwise very good. Thomas Fritsch hardcover books
