1920002014Paris: H. Floury 1920. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Hansi and Victor Huen. Oblong measuring 32 by 24 cm 12.5 by 9.5 inches. Nostalgic look at Alsatian village of yore and as much of Hansi's writings about the French-ness of the village and demonizing the German occupiers who were only recently driven out at the time this copy was issued. The illustrations exude the naive charm of Hansi's best work whose legacy was to create an enduring visual image of Alsatian life. The decorated cloth boards have soiling and the fabric is worn by the corners and the spine extremities. Inside the pages have age toning but otherwise are clean. <br /><br /> H.

1903103087<p>Print folio 11 1/2" x 15" chromolithograph color plate I archivally matted attached at the top with archive tape. Very slight aging; otherwise bright and clean and very attractive. Published in several editions the plates are extremely attractive. Studer 1840-1904 was born in New York City and would become a printer and lithographer. He was also an ornithologist and seems to have been active in this field in the Columbus Ohio area after the Civil War. However it is believed that the plates were based on drawings by Theodore Jasper. The plates while very attractive are believed to be designed to help with identification. This plate which features the Bald Eagle is probably the most outstanding in the collection. The eagle is shown in a natural setting. May require extra postage.

Reprint of the fifth edition which was the last published during the author's lifetime. As Cowley pointed out the New Law-Dictionary first edition 1729 was both Jacob's masterpiece and "an entirely new departure in legal literature" that provided a model for several subsequent efforts. In contrast to earlier works each entry summarizes all of the laws relating to the subject and offers extensive interpretive commentary. Jacob 1686-1744 was also careful to omit obsolete terms. It was recognized almost immediately that Jacob had created a highly useful legal encyclopedia that was both more detailed and concise than any other abridgment of the period. An extremely popular work that went through twelve editions by 1800 it offers unparalleled insights into Anglo-American law during the eighteenth century.
