Incisione originale da matrice in rame, firmata e datata 1749 (cm. 38,5x45,5 e margini). ''The Roast Beef of Old England'' è una ballata patriottica inglese. Essa venne composta da Henry Fielding per la sua commedia teatrale The Grub-Street Opera, che venne rappresentata per la prima volta nel 1731. La popolarità che godette fin dall'inizio la canzone è provata dal dipinto del 1748 di William Hogarth: O the Roast Beef of Old England (The Gate of Calais). Hogarth realizzò prima l'incisione del dipinto, la differenza tra le due trasposizioni è evidenziata dall'aggiunta di un corvo nel dipinto, inserito a causa di una macchia di colore caduta accidentalmente. Notevole è la contrapposizione tra il frate grasso che tocca libidinosamente la grande costata bovina e le figure dei soldati malati e denutriti. Hogarth fu valente pittore, ed il più importante incisore inglese di stampe satiriche. "Ho voluto comporre pitture su tela simili a rappresentazioni sulle scene; e spero che vengano giudicate con lo stesso criterio; ho cercato di trattare il mio soggetto come autore drammatico; il mio quadro è il mio palco-scenico, e attori sono uomini e donne che per mezzo di atti e gesti rappresentano una recita". Esemplare in perfetto stato di conservazione.. .

1825148375Avignon: Ét. Chaillot 1825. A neat copy of this popular abridged account of Cook's voyages attributed to Jean Pierre Bérenger an exiled Swiss polymath the 1806 Paris edition the first to be attributed to him. Bérenger published a collection of abridgements of numerous voyages including those of Magellan Shelvocke Byron and Cook in 1788 the text of which was used for many subsequent editions designed for children such as this; uncommon with the BnF showing only one copy. "Cook earned his place in history by opening up the Pacific to western civilisation and by the foundation of British Australia. The world was given for the first time an essentially complete knowledge of the Pacific Ocean and Australia and Cook proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent as had always been believed. He also suggested the existence of Antarctic land in the southern ice ring a fact which was not proved until the explorations of the nineteenth century. Cook was a brilliant navigator and hydrographer an excellent administrator and planner and probably the first sea captain to realise the importance of preserving the health and well-being of his crew. He did everything possible to maintain their physical fitness and the cleanliness of both men and ships. He conquered the hitherto prevalent scurvy by cutting down the consumption of salt meat and by always having fresh vegetables and fruit on board" Printing and the Mind of Man. 2 vols bound as 1 duodecimo 136 x 70 mm.

in-8, pp. XVI, 134, 2 cb, bella leg. m. perg. coeva con angoli, tass. con tit. oro al d. con picc. fregi. Simpatica prefazione dedicata al cuoco dello sposa da parte dell’A. che cela il suo nome con un anagramma (Giri di Luna). Interessanti e curiose annotazioni sulla porchetta al fine. Bella e spassosa trattazione sul maiale che l’A. definisce “l’animale più nobile e più utile di quanti Madre Natura abbia fatto dono”. Fu molto apprezzato nella cucina latina il porcus troianus, un maiale farcito con volatili, selvaggina e carni diverse, fatto arrosto. Una volta in tavola se ne faceva uscire, non di rado in maniera spettacolare, il prezioso contenuto, così come era avvenuto quando dal cavallo di Troia erano usciti i guerrieri Achei. L’A. originario di Rimini e bibliotecario della Gambalunghiana, cercò così di dimostrare l’origine romana della porchetta. Paleari p. 517. Westbury p. 158. Legg. fioriture ma bell’esempl. in barbe. Raro. [186]
