1833171428<p>1833. VEVEY. Fête des Vignerons 1833. Continuous panorama scroll containing 30 consecutive lithographs numbered 1-30 from the 1833 Festival of the Vignerons at Vevey hand-coloured at the time of publication backed with linen and conjoined to form a continuous scroll of 14.4 meters long. Plate size: oblong folio 170 x 470 mm. in a new cloth folding box. Lausanne: Lithographie de Spengler & Cie 1833. An extremely rare complete copy in contemporary hand-colouring of this remarkable series of plates in scroll format depicting the 1833 Festival of the Vingerons at Vevey Switzerland -- since 1791 this ancient festival has been celebrated five times per century. The scroll shows the entire procession in panorama format; the procession moved in three groups: Herds and Flocks plates 1-8 the Harvest plates 9-18 and Winemakers plates 19-30. The festival celebrates the vineyards and wine production in the Vevey area. The artist of the work was Christian Gottlieb Steinlen 1779-1847 a resident of Vevey who acted as the official artist for the 1833 Festival see Thieme-Becker. Sources for the Festival of the Winegrowers are unusually diverse: besides Greco-Roman gods such as Bacchus Plates 20 & 22 there were representations of Judeo-Christian myths such as the story of Noah first winegrower in the Bible -- see Plate 27.

1812AQ30893St. Albans: Shaw Printer 1812. 8pp. Two bilfolia disbound. Priced in manuscript. Together with: Inventory of the Effects of Mr. Charles Williams of St. Albans not included in the printed catalogue of sale. 10th December 1812. Manuscript on paper. Single bifolium An apparently unrecorded auction catalogue annotated by the auctioneer with the prices achieved of the property of a deceased wine merchant including his 'stock in trade' lotted by bin of sherry port rum gin and 'coniac brandy'. The sale realised a total of £268. 4s. 5d. and included 51 lots of his wine stock along with a sequence of empoty casks. The manuscript addendum written on the day after the public auction adds several household as well as '21 Bottles of Currant Wine in 2 Tea Canisters'. Interestingly St. Albans possessed a novel wine licensing system established under the terms of the 1570 wine charter a model not repeated elsewhere. The borough corporation had the power to grant two licences to local vintners in return for an annual endowment of £20 remarkably to be provided to the master of St. Albans grammar school for the maintenance of the institution. We have been unable to trace Charles Williams nor locate any record of his business. However it does not seem unreasonable to assume that he held one of these much sought after licenses; certainly the auction catalogue reveals an extensive stock surely necessitated by the possession of a trade monopoly. . 8vo.

188074379Marseille: N.p. ca. 1880. A large gathering of plant specimens from the wine growing regions of southwest France. Each specimen is mounted via paper holders to bifoliums measuring 12 1/2 x 20 inches and each specimen within a genus folder containing differing amounts of specimens. Each specimen is named in French on the front of the bifolium and and in much more detail in a small square on the bottom right of the page bearing the specimen .E.g.: Scrofularinees for Scrophulariaceae; In this folder are 3 specimens of species of this genus—— Linaria Cymbalaria; Linaria arvensis; scrofularinee aqua. All data is in French and in manuscript and gives the French translated from the Latin name of the plant the flowering season and the type of habitat and flower color if applicable. There are 15 genus folder bearing 76 actual species specimens. The specimens are on the main very large. All housed in a custom wooden slipcase with extensive brass fittings. Box measures 24 1/2 x 15 1/2 x 6 inches. No specimens broken or missing. Stock paper and chemise by Moullot Fils Ainé Marseilles. A wonderful assemblage.South West France or in French Sud-Ouest is a wine region in France covering several wine-producing areas situated respectively inland from and south of the wine region of Bordeaux. These areas which have a total of 16000 hectares 40000 acres of vineyards consist of several discontinuous wine "islands" throughout the Aquitaine region where Bordeaux region itself is situated and more or less to the west of the Midi-Pyrénées region. Thus South West France covers both the upstream areas around the rivers Dordogne and Garonne which also flow through Bordeaux where they combine to form the Gironde estuary and their tributaries as well as the wine-producing areas of Gascony including Bearn and the Northern Basque Country. However only areas closer to the Atlantic than to the Mediterranean are included in the region with the city of Toulouse being situated roughly halfway between the South West wine region and the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region on the Mediterranean. The brandy-producing region Armagnac is situated within Gascony and the wine region of South West France and some of its grapes are used to make Vin de Pays under the designation Vin de Pays de Côtes de Gascogne or mixed with Armagnac to produce the Mistelle Floc de Gascogne.South West France is a rather heterogeneous region in terms of its wines and how they are marketed. It is rare to see wines being sold as Vins du Sud-Ouest. Rather the smaller areas and individual appellations market their wines under their own smaller umbrella in contrast with common practice in e.g. the Bordeaux region. N.p. unknown

In that first paper dealing with the role of atmospheric oxygen in vinification he sought to establish that the aging of wine resulted from the slow penetration of atmospheric oxygen through the porous wook casks into which new wine was decanted. By virtue of this slow oxidation he claimed new wine grows less harsh and acid to the taste as it becomes clearer and lighter from the to the taste as it becomes clearer and lighter from the precipation of dark coloring matters. In his second paper January 1864 Pasteur examined the "alterations" or "diseases of wine especially wine from the Jura his native department. Reviewing the familiar disease of "turned" "acid" "ropy" or "oily " wine he associated each with a microscopic organism. He summarized the results of his first two papers by nothing that "wine which is proudced by a cellular vegetation acting as a ferment namely yeast is altered only by the influence of other vegetations of the same order; and once removed from the effects of their parasitism it is made or matured principally by the action of atmospheric oxygen penetrating slowly through the staves of the casks."DSB. </em> unknown

'The following Papers are reprinted from "The Farm" section of the Melbourne "Leader". The writer left Melbourne on 1st September 1874 and returned on the 30th November. The early Papers were written during September in which month the country round Adelaide is seen at its very best. The areas of Gawler Kapunda Kooringa Hill River Estate Clare and surroundings were visited during October and the return journey between Adelaide and Mount Gambier including Strathalbyn Willunga Goolwa Hindmarsh Island Narracoorte and the Drainage Country took place during November' preface. The critical comments on contemporary vine cultivation and wine production make interesting reading. Visits were made to properties and individuals well-known to this day: Davenport Boothby Crompton Auld Mrs Penfold Thomas Elder and Birksgate Thomas Hardie sic and Bankside and 'Clare - Seven Hills and St. Aloysius' College' with numerous 'Notable Wine Growers' in the region mentioned. Many areas significant in the modern vine and wine industry are conspicuously absent in this survey at least in this regard. This item is rare in our experience. Ferguson 9210. E. & D.
