187441043Paris: Firmin Didot 1874. Fine. Firmin Didot Paris 1874 20 x 29.70 cm relié Fifth edition statement. Edition illustrated with 19 chromolithographs and 400 wood engravings. Publisher's binding in imitation of great Grolier-style bindings. Half dark green shagreen with shagreen-textured cloth boards. Corners slightly bumped. Very occasional light foxing. The interest of this work manifests itself both through its erudition and its accessibility and readability historical anecdotes. We owe it to Paul Jacob who was a great bibliophile a writer and scholar and the curator of the Arsenal library. If the entire series has become a great classic in the field it is because it successfully combines the work of publisher printer bookbinder historian illustrators and documentation and few books have ultimately achieved this amalgamation that we owe to Firmin-Didot at a time when books had become quite mediocre.

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 Many discoveries from his second voyage remained otherwise unpublished until the end of the 17th-century.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.

In Yiddish with a Spanish title page. “German soldiers first passed through Ratne at the end of June 1941 but Nazi rule was established in the town only in July. Between the retreat of the Soviets and the arrival of German security forces and administrators locals plundered Jewish homes and businesses. Shortly after the Germans arrived they shot 27 Jews and 30 Soviet prisoners of war. Acting through the Ukrainian police they also introduced an array of anti-Jewish measures: Jews had to wear identifying armbands later yellow patches comply with a curfew hand in valuables including ritual objects and provide forced labor. It was forbidden for Jews to speak to Ukrainians. As early as July 1941 Jews from the countryside were already being relocated to Ratne. In the spring of 1942 a ghetto was set up there. After a partisan raid on Ratne in June 1942 the Germans shot more than 110 Jews along with a few Ukrainians. The Destruction of the Jewish Community. In August the Germans recruited Ukrainian peasants from Prokhid to dig pits at a nearby sand lot. On August 26 the ghetto was “liquidated†by a unit from the Gestapo outpost in Brest supported by the local German Gendarmerie post and Ukrainian auxiliary police force. Although several hundred Jews fled before they could be taken to Prokhid. Many others hid in the ghetto. Most were eventually caught and murdered as well. Between 1 300 and 1 500 Jewish men women and children were killed during this operation. A few dozen skilled laborers were left alive and employed in a workshop. They were shot in February 1943.†protecting-memory.org 2018 SUBJECTS : Jews -- Ukraine -- Ratne. Holocaust Jewish 1939-1945 Ratno Ukraine -- Ethnic relations. OCLC: 38702086.

Ernest I. Jacob." <p>A lovely 19th century Hebrew edition of the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the source of Jewish law and theology compiled in the 3rd to 6th centuries in Mesopotamia. <p>International buyers please note: shipping this set outside the United States will require extra charges due to its weight and size.

179513033N.p. likely Maryland: January 20 1795. 2pp. with integral leaf addressed and docketed. Old mailing folds minor unobtrusive chipping to edges some old tape repairs some toning. Margins of address leaf reinforced with later sheet. Overall good condition. A document of almost pure irony in which a Maryland militia member who served for the government during the Whiskey Rebellion petitions the governor of Maryland for relief from a fine of 600 pounds of tobacco levied on him and his wife for.selling whiskey without a license. Apparently during the time in which Cable "was drafted to go against the insurgents and during his absence" Cable's wife "sold liquor for the support of her family to wit 3 small children." Upon his return from service and during the January 1795 term of the Baltimore County court Cable "was presented for selling liquors without license and was fined 600 lbs of Toba for said offence." Here Cable asks Governor Stone and the "Home Council" for forgiveness of the fine. <br /> <br /> It worked. According to a note on the verso signed by three "Justices of Baltimore County Court" they found "compassion" for Cable "in remitting the fine imposed as stated in the within Petition." Though the central issue of the Whiskey Rebellion was the 1791 excise tax on whiskey which angered farmers in western Pennsylvania enough to violently resist it it is some level of irony that Cable asks for mercy from the court for selling liquor without a license incurred while he was fighting the farmers resisting the whiskey tax. January 20 unknown
