1890191014New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1890. One of the most important photobooks ever published First edition with an autograph letter signed from the author tipped-in to the front free endpaper thanking the recipient "for your kindness and for your good company - I had a bully day of it". He adds in a postscript: "Good luck with the trout. A good fisherman is a good fellow I will bet. Ask Grover!". The letter is dated 7 June and noted as received 8 June 1902. The reference is presumably to the keen fisherman and former president Grover Cleveland. The front free endpaper has the ownership signature of the recipient Elizabeth M. Brown of Belvidere New Jersey dated 25 April 1891. A lifelong campaigner for child welfare Riis exposed overcrowded tenements raised funds to send children into the countryside advocated city parks and pressed for better-funded public schools. His exposés of New York poverty and decades of campaigning helped drive Progressive Era reforms and forced the city's slum conditions into public view. How the Other Half Lives is his the most important work. "His book is about the tenements of New York: the overcrowded slums of the Lower East Side that were home to boatloads of immigrants who had come to the United States to seek a better life. it is one of the most important photobooks ever published. It represents the first extensive use of halftone photographic reproductions in a book. These reproductions are rough to say the least but it is the beginning not of a photographic genre but a photographic attitude an ethos - humanist documentary photography - in which the photographic social document is employed to bear critical witness to what is going on in the world" Parr & Badger p. 53. Octavo. With 43 illustrations including 18 halftones from photographs by the author. Original blue quarter cloth spine lettered in gilt front cover lettered and decorated in red and blue.

1813WRCAM41998Sackets Harbor N.Y. 1813. 1p. manuscript letter signed docketed on verso. Folio. Old fold lines. Some separation at folds; one tear closed with archival tape. Lightly soiled. Good. An eyewitness account of the second battle of Sackets Harbor on the shores of Lake Ontario from the commander of the American forces there Gen. Jacob Brown to his friend Joshua Hatheway quartermaster general and formerly the commander of the defenses at Sackets Harbor. The town situated near the entrance to the St. Lawrence River at the far eastern end of Lake Ontario and opposite the Canadian town of Kingston was a vital defensive point for the Americans challenging British control of the St. Lawrence and the lake and preventing a British thrust into New York State. If either side could control both sides of the entrance to the St. Lawrence they could control the Upper Great Lakes. Taking advantage of the American action against York which drew troops away to the western end of the Lake the British decided to strike. On May 28 1813 the British Great Lakes squadron under the command of James Yeo appeared off Sackets Harbor carrying troops under the command of the governor-general Lieut. Gen. George Prevost. Having been forewarned by several men who escaped the Battle of Henderson Bay the previous day the Americans had some time to reinforce their defenses before the British could attack. The British landed on the 28th but launched their main attack the next morning. They easily routed the American militia but the regulars under Brown were able to fight off repeated attacks on their fortifications. Prevost fearing the arrival of more American troops ordered a retreat which nearly became a rout. Brown was the hero of the day and was later rewarded with a commission as brigadier general. He must have immediately written this letter describing the action. This appears to be written in a secretarial hand and signed by Brown himself. The letter states: "Dr. Sir I received an order some days since from Genl Dearborn to take comm. at this Post. Comd. Chauncey is up the lake. We were this morning attacked as day dawned by Sir George Prevost in person who made good his landing with at least a thousand picked men. Sir James Yeo commanded the fleet after loosing some distinguished officers and of course some gallant men. Our loss is very severe as to the quality of those who have fallen. The enemy left many of their wounded on the Field - but I have no doubt carried off many more. We shall probably be again attacked as Sir George must feel very sore. All I can say is whatever may be the result we will not be disgraced." A superb battlefield letter reporting on one of the most significant military actions of the War of 1812. unknown books
1719F5OGBDYNZ8OAAmsterdam: Gerard Valk 1719. Very large engraved folding plan comprising 1 1/2 sheets measuring 46 x 83 cm as assembled engraved by Danckert Danckertsz. and his father after drawings by Jacob Vennekool including the two hemispheres of the world map and a celestial map of the constellations of the northern hemisphere each 10 cm in diameter. Very large engraved plan showing the extraordinary cartographic mosaic floor of the Burgerzaal of the Amsterdam City Hall designed by Jacob van Campen with a celestial map in the centre and the magnificent map of the world in 2 hemispheres on either side. The engraving was first published in 1661 and the map shows Tasman's recent discoveries in Australia and Tasmania and depicts California as an island. Many discoveries from his second voyage remained otherwise unpublished until the end of the 17th-century. This engraved representation is all that is left of this cartographical work of art. Wear caused by people walking on the mosaic meant it had to be restored about a hundred years later. When in turn this restoration was damaged the two hemispheres were filled in with plain marble slabs without pictorial representation.The drawing of the floor was made by Jacob Vennekool who worked closely with Van Campen and since his drawings were first published even before the building was completed they may reflect Van Campen's plan more closely than the finished building itself. They also of course show it before the alterations made at various times in later years.Slightly wrinkled in the right margin one fold reinforced and a few tiny spots otherwise in very good condition.l Cf.

With a large engraved printer's device on title page and 33 full-page numbered engraved plates all contemporary hand-coloured. 4 34 2 pp. Greatly enlarged edition of a celebrated work on the metamorphosis of butterflies and other insects depicted in 33 finely etched plates. First published in 1740 with only 25 plates the present edition published posthumously represents the fullest realisation of the authors lifelong ambition bringing together his exquisitely engraved plates with additional material that was prepared but never published during his lifetime.In total the work comprises 33 engraved plates depicting 70 metamorphoses of butterflies moths and other winged insects each rendered with remarkable precision and enlivened by contemporary hand-colouring. The plates are notable not only for their scientific value representing a significant advance in the study of insect life cycles but also for their aesthetic brilliance combining delicate line engraving with vibrant colour and decorative botanical settings. Plate XII depicting a tulip is of particular charm. Houttuyn in his preface remarked upon the extraordinary patience and precision required for such studies noting that few enthusiasts possessed the dedication necessary to observe and record these transformations with accuracy. The text part is very slightly browned and stained throughout. Otherwise in very good condition.l Horn-Schenkling 153; Landwehr Col.

1845E4PBJL5NT60TAmsterdam: Coenraad Weddepohl 1845. Original publisher's cloth with a gold-blocked lyre in the centre of each board and a tissue guard over each lithograph gilt edges. Folio. With a lithographed portrait of the artist mounted 8 lithographed plates of stage designs and 9 poems in red decorated letterpress frames the lithographs by Desguerrois & Co. With the 8 plates of stage designs hand-coloured as published.

Pfeiffer was best known for his Romantic stage designs for the Amsterdam Schouwburg city theatre. From 1820 to 1835 he created complete decors for many different plays but none has survived. The lithographs in the present book therefore form an essential primary source for the history of Dutch theatre. Also included is a list of the most important decorations Pfeiffer made for various theatres. A good copy with a few plates lightly browned the leaf on which the portrait is mounted foxed and a few occasional minor stains. Binding slightly faded. An important primary source for the history of Dutch stage design and a feast for the eye with its beautiful hand-coloured stage designs.l NCC 5 copies; Thieme & Becker XXVI p. 528; Waller p. 253.

1720ABC_49529Amsterdam: Pieter Schenk 1720. Modern half sheepskin parchment with the manuscript author and title on the spine beige decorative paper sides. Oblong royal 4to ca. 23 x 29 cm. With an engraved dedication also serving as a title-page and 16 unnumbered engraved views 15 x 18.5 cm. A complete set of sixteen views of the magnificent palace gardens mazes fountains sculpture ponds and pavilions of the Royal estate Het Loo near Apeldoorn in the Netherlands the most splendid country estate of King William III of England William of Orange. This estate was the finest example of Anglo-Dutch formal gardens garden art and architecture. Pieter Schenk I 1660-1711 originally published the present views in his six-part Paridisus oculorum 1702 where Het Loo was ''undoubtedly the highlight of the series'' Anglo-Dutch Garden p. 201. The six parts were also issued separately with the dedications to the owners serving as title-pages as is the case here.William of Orange 1650-1702 bought the medieval castle Het Loo in 1684 when he was Dutch head of state and it quickly became his favourite hunting lodge. He had it completely rebuilt under the architect Jacob Roman 1640-1716 beginning in 1686. When William and his wife Mary Stuart were crowned King and Queen of England in 1689 however work on the estate was greatly expanded on a royal scale with sculpture commissioned from Romeyn de Hooghe and the elaborate fountains and gardens shown in the present prints. By the time Schenk produced the present print series just before William's death in 1702 it was one of the world's grandest royal residences. The present set of Schenk's prints is watermarked Strasbourg Bend = IV similar to Heawood 73 & 78 from ca. 1720 so it may have been published by Pieter Schenk II soon after his father's death.The binding shows very slight traces of use. The leaves are very lightly foxed.

"The interaction of Jews and Freemasons began with the very first Masonic constitution which was compiled in England in the 1720s. Mr. Katz explores the process of the admission of Jews into the Freemasons in Europe especially Germany. He also traces the myth of Jews and Freemasons as bent upon world domination examining its various stages and how they led to the fabrication of the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion'. He studied works concealed in Masonic libraries and archives which had never before been available and examined the anti-Semitic literature which supported Hitler and linked the Jews and Freemasons together." - dust jacket. "Highly recommended especially for its insights into the connections between the Asiatic Brethren and many wealthy European aristocrats royals financiers merchants and charlatans of mysticism peddling new varieties of occult 'Knowledge.' An impossible to find book by an Israeli academic heavyweight." - G. Burch in an online review. Translated from the Hebrew. viii 4 293 p. Extensive footnotes. Index.
