17716000068London 1771. Quarto autograph manuscript in ink; single page on a bifolium with address panel; on paper watermarked "LVG" <p><p>Amusing original letter from Sandwich to John Hawkesworth ghostwriter of the official account of Cook's first voyage. Sandwich writes: "That I may be certain whether you are alive or dead I shall be obliged to you if you will either come yourself or send your ghost to dine with me tomorrow. I am most sincerely yours Sandwich." This witty communication dates from the period when Hawkesworth was preparing the Cook account during Sandwich's third term as First Lord of Admiralty 1771-82; of course it was during this appointment that James Cook discovered Hawaii on his third voyage and named them the Sandwich Islands in his honour. The letter probably dates from late 1771 while Hawkesworth was at work on the journal. He died in November 1773 not long after the book's publication. </p> <p>Hawkesworth was introduced to Sandwich by Charles Burney in September 1771 when "the First Lord was casting around for someone to 'write the voyage' - that is to take Cook's journal and put it into a form suitable for the reading of the polite world; and not only Cook's journal but those of the three other circumnavigators Byron Wallis and Carteret. Cook and Banks we remember were patriotically anxious that this should be done as soon as possible and it was all the more important to get something authentic on the market. Burney recommended his friend Dr John Hawkesworth who had time and could do with the money." Beaglehole. </p> <p>Fanny Burney recorded in her diary for 15 September 1771 that "My father has had a happy opportunity of extremely obliging Dr. Hawkesworth. During his stay in Norfolk he waited upon Lord Orford who had always been particularly friendly to him. He there among others met with Lord Sandwich. His Lordship was speaking of the late voyage round the world and mentioned his having the papers of it in his possession; for he is First Lord of the Admiralty; and said that they were not arranged but mere rough draughts and said that he should be much obliged to any one who could recommend a proper person to write the Voyage. My father directly named Dr. Hawkesworth and his Lordship did him the honour to accept his recommendation. I cannot but be amazed that a man of Lord Sandwich's power &ca. should be so in ignorance of men of learning and merit as to apply to an almost stranger.".</p> <p>The money was decent: Hawkesworth earned a substantial £6000 from the publishers Strahan and Cadell and completed the first two volumes in just four months. A landmark publication this would help to cement Cook's reputation in the eyes of the public serving Sandwich's official purpose.</p> </p> . unknown

1853ABC_46299Madrid: Doña Teresa Martinez é Hijo 1853. Modern half black morocco marbled sides gold-tooled spine with title in gold blue sprinkled edges new marbled and blank endpapers with the original publishers back wrapper bound in but with a front wrapper apparently from a different work published by M. Gonzalez 1855. 8vo. With 4 full-page wood-engraved plates. Surprisingly rare Spanish account of Cook's first voyage preceded by a short account of his life extracted from Kippis. Spanish editions of Cook's voyages are remarkably few. Kippis's biography had already been translated in the 18th century but Marta Torres Santo Domingo found only three Spanish publications in the 19th century relating to Cook. The present work was planned to cover all Cook's voyages the drop-title on page XIII reading "Relacion de los tres viajes. Primer viaje." but apparently this was never realised. Oddly the illustration on the front wrapper seems to depict South American vaqueros hardly relevant to James Cook. The plates include portraits of Cook and Tupaia.The original publishers back wrapper bound in at the end contains an advertisement for the book.The original front wrapper is not preserved. With some very minor water stains but overall in very good condition. A scarce Spanish edition of Cooks first voyage.l Beddie 155; WorldCat 3 copies; cf.

in-folio (430x300), ff.25 (titolo litografato e 24 tavole). Sul titolo non è presente la data di stampa che compare, invece sulle tavole. Legatura posteriore in mezza pelle e angoli, titolo e fregi al dorso. La maggior parte delle incisioni sono disegnate da Pinelli (21), 3 da Hullmandel, tutte litografate da questo noto artista inglese. Le scene costituiscono veri e propri spaccati di vita popolare della città e dei dintorni di Roma, resi ancora più suggestivi dalla tecnica incisoria utilizzata. Il metodo di riproduzione consentiva un'ottima resa grafica anche per i colori tenui, permettendo così l'impressione delle varie sfumature espressive e gli esiti della pittura ad acquerello. Charles Hullmandel (1789-1850) Importante litografo. Incontrò Senefelder a Monaco nel 1817, lavorò presso il suo studio londinese al numero 51 di Great Marlborough Street dal 1819 fino alla morte producendo migliaia di stampe. Apportò innovazioni importanti al metodo di stampa a colori (lithotint). Le stampe di Hullmandel furono particolarmente ricercate anche per le opere di storia naturale, geografia e geologia. Il suo saggio del 1824 "The art of drawing on stone" non fu solo un autorevole manuale in materia, ma anche un'appassionata difesa della nuova arte litografica. Esemplare ben conservato e con le tavole ben impresse e fresche.. Colas, Bibliogr. du Costume, 2382. Manca a Lipperheide..

Solida legatura ottocentesca in piena pergamena con nervi a vista, dorsi lisci con fregi in oro e titoli su tasselli. Poche, leggere arrossature marginali, una gora chiara appena accennata ad alcune carte, peraltro esemplare assai genuino, marginoso e ben conservato. Seconda edizione, rivista, aumentata e corretta rispetto all'originale del 1790. I due volumi d'appendice sono invece in originale (assai rari). Mancano 16 pagine all'indice finale del quarto volume. Francesco Leonardi inizia a lavorare a Parigi, a metà del Settecento, nelle cucine del Maresciallo di Richelieu. Ritorna in Italia, a Napoli, presso Michele Imperiale, principe di Francavilla e marchese d Oria: Maggiordomo maggiore del Re dal 1753. Nel 1772 è assunto dal cardinale De Bernis, ambasciatore di Francia presso la Santa Sede. Lavora in diverse campagne di Luigi XV, viaggia per tutta Europa con il generale Ivan Ivanovic Shouvaloff, gran ciambellano di Russia e, al suo seguito, giunge nel 1778 a Pietroburgo dove diviene maestro di casa del principe Grigorij Grigorevic Orloff e, alla morte di questi nel 1783, cuoco particolare e scalco dell'imperatrice Caterina II. Costretto a lasciare la Russia a causa del clima troppo rigido, rientra in Italia, dove attende alla stesura della sua prima opera, L'Apicio moderno ossia l'arte di apprestare ogni sorta di vivande e, nel 1791 è secondo cuoco e cuoco particolare del cardinale De Bernis, plenipotenziario di Luigi XV presso la Santa Sede, per il quale organizzerà un sontuoso banchetto di più di 100 persone per festeggiare la nascita del Delfino di Francia. Nel 1803 è in Austria al seguito del principe Soltikoff. Nel 1804 a Napoli presso il duca di Gravina, in qualità di maestro di casa, fino all'arrivo dei francesi e alla partenza del suo padrone per la Sicilia il 23 gennaio 1806, quindi sembra rientrare a Roma dove assiste, quale scalco, l'imperatore d'Austria, Francesco I in occasione della sua visita di stato a Roma nella primavera del 1816 nel corso del fastoso banchetto offerto al Quirinale da Pio VII. L'Apicio moderno, ossia l'arte di apprestare ogni sorta di vivande, una monumentale opera in sei tomi stampata a Roma nel 1790 e ancora nel 1807-8 con l'aggiunta di due nuovi tomi sull'arte del credenziere, che tenta il recupero di una dimensione nazionale della cucina italiana. Nell'introduzione del libro Leonardi abbozza la prima indagine storico della cucina italiana, di età romana attraverso il Rinascimento fino al 18. secolo. Leonardi voleva che il suo trattato fosse moderno, scientifico e internazionale (fino allora aveva dominato la cucina francese), realizzò perciò una specie di enciclopedia gastronomica; vi elencò tremila ricette, con storie e suggerimenti legati alla trasformazione e conservazione delle vivande. Leonardi grazie ai suoi cinquant'anni d esperienza, adattò a ricette straniere ingredienti tipicamente italiani, come la ricotta e il parmigiano. Dai tempi di Scappi, duecentocinquanta anni prima, non si era più scritto un grande manuale e L'Apicio moderno fu un capolavoro fondamentale per la cultura gastronomica italiana. In apertura dell'opera è posto, secondo lo stile francese, un cenno storico sull'evoluzione del gusto gastronomico, il primo tentativo del genere in Italia, da cui traspaiono chiaramente sia i mutamenti intervenuti nella cucina italiana nel corso dei secoli, che l'importanza delle tradizioni locali e regionali per la rinascita di un'autentica cucina italiana. Leonardi fu il primo grande cuoco ad usare stabilmente i pomodori, vantando come propria l'invenzione della classica combinazione napoletana della pasta con il pomodoro.
17723812970Paris: Saillant & Nyon 1772. Very slight rubbing to joints but a fine tall copy with good margin. Octavo blind-stamped ex-libris to half title; contemporary French marbled calf flat spine gilt in compartments red morocco label. <p><p>A fine copy of the first French account of Cook's Endeavour voyage and the first French book on the east coast of Australia. Fréville translates the text now considered to be by Magra which - published in English in 1771 - was the unauthorised and earliest account of the progress of the Endeavour voyage. This is one of two probably simultaneous issues this one having the "Supplément" title-page; in this form the publishers intended the book to complement the octavo edition of Bougainville's voyage. The work also includes some material that did not appear in the original London edition including a 'Lettre de M. de Commerson' the famed naturalist from Bougainville's circumnavigation who remained behind at Mauritius to continue his research. </p> <p>The second supplement is equally important: the 'Lettre de M. le B. de G.' is a learned treatise on the possibility of a northwest passage written at Königsberg modern Kaliningrad and quoting from experts on the region such as Gmelin Muller and Engel. Although the identity of this scholar remains hazy it is surprising that such an interesting - and relatively early - report on the northwest passage has been largely ignored. Continuing the parade of famous explorers included in this short work the Commerson letter is said to have been conveyed to France by none other than Kerguelen promoter of the "Terre Australe".</p> <p>Rolf du Rietz in the Kroepelien catalogue further notes that a letter from Sir Joseph Banks to the Académie des Sciences is also quoted in the introduction said to have first been published in the Journal des Savans. Despite his best efforts to distance himself from Magra's work including having the false dedication in the London edition removed it appears that his unwilling association with the work continued on the continent. Indeed one of the attractive aspects of this copy is not only the fine contemporary French binding but the spine label which reads 'Voyage de Solander': it was not unusual for Banks to be given top-billing in the excitement of the return of the Endeavour but there cannot be too many examples that plump for Solander.</p> </p> .

17844504227London: J.Webber June 4 1784. Very good. Stipple engraving oval 120 x 95 mm printed in sepia; a proof before letters; mounted. <p><p>Rare proof impression before letters of John Webber's and Francesco Bartolozzi's fine oval portrait of Captain Cook. This portrait has a very large margin unusual for this decorative oval shape which is perhaps more often seen clipped to fit an oval frame. </p> <p>The original portrait of Cook was painted by Webber in 1776 and has been in London's National Portrait Gallery since 1858. Webber had collaborated with Bartolozzi earlier in 1784 to execute his famous depiction of the death of Cook and the relationship was evidently a happy one as they also issued the rare oval version of the depiction of Cook's death as well as this portrait. It is fair to say that the original painting of Cook has not met with universal acclaim: Beaglehole claims that on first viewing Mrs Cook exclaimed 'Who is that low villain' Beaglehole On the Character of Captain James Cook p. 418.</p> <p>Born in Florence in 1728 Bartolozzi arrived in 1764 in England where he worked for the next three decades. He introduced the vogue of "stippled" engraving and this portrait is a particularly good example of his work.</p> </p> . J.Webber, June 4 unknown

17973807772Paris: De l'Imprimerie de Guillaume 1797. A few leaves a little foxed; a very good copy. Two volumes octavo six folding engraved plates after Parkinson a handsome set in contemporary French mottled calf flat spines gilt double red and tan morocco labels. <p><p>First French edition first issue: the artist's account of Cook's first voyage and the discovery of eastern Australia. Translated by C. Henri from the 1784 English edition it also contains material from later voyagers updating the account including the experiences of the Forsters on the second voyage. This is the octavo issue noted by Kroepelien as preceding the otherwise identical quarto of the same year.</p> <p>Parkinson had been employed in 1767 by Sir Joseph Banks who thought so highly of his work that he arranged for the young man to join him on Cook's first voyage. When the expedition's draughtsman Alexander Buchan died at Tahiti Parkinson was called on to take over all of the topographical work completing some 1300 sketches quite apart from compiling vocabularies in Tahiti and New Holland. At the end of the voyage en route from Batavia to the Cape of Good Hope he died of a fever and after the return of the Endeavour ownership of his manuscripts and drawings was disputed: Banks considered that they were his while Parkinson's brother Stanfield claimed them under the provisions of his brother's will. When Hawkesworth learned of the impending English publication of this work he got an injunction to delay its appearance until some time after his official account and despite having used Parkinson's work extensively retaliated by deliberately omitting Parkinson's name from the narrative: even the botanical illustrations in the official account have no credit to the artist.</p> <p>Some of the bibliographical history of this work is quite complex. An extended note by Rolf du Rietz in the Kroepelien catalogue explains that this octavo issue although textually identical to a quarto issue published the same year by the same publisher is actually the genuine first issue du Rietz demonstrates from an error in the signatures that the quarto was re-imposed. Du Rietz knew the octavo only from the copy in the University of Oslo although no complete census of the two issues has been attempted. A note in O'Reilly-Reitman suggests - as if we needed more complexity - that the number of plates is uncertain as they examined copies with any number between five and eight; nonetheless six plates is the standard collation.</p> </p> .

Seconda edizione, rarissima, del libro di cucina più importante di Massialot. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1691, ebbe numerose edizioni e fu considerato autore fondamentale per la compilazione delle successive opere gastronomiche e per lo sviluppo dei ristoranti. La prima parte comprende modelli di menu distribuiti secondo le stagioni e pranzi realmente preparati dall'autore, mentre la seconda presenta per la prima volta le ricette proposte per ordine alfabetico, costituendo de facto un prodromo dei dizionari di cucina. Innovativi sono l'introduzione delle essenze nella preparazione dei fondi da cucina e l'utilizzo nelle ricette del cioccolato, fino ad allora considerato soltanto come bevanda.

The growing sense of ''good taste,'' national pride, and deference to the court as the fount of all fashion are all evident' (Mennell)..
