ABOUT THIS BOOK: Holland and 1000 Things About Holland set picture book hardcover with accompanying paperback. SYNOPSIS: Holland - a land full of surprises strange traditions free-spirited people and a rich history. Charlotte Dematons known for her well-loved picture book The Yellow Balloon grew up in France but moved to the Netherlands to study art as so many have before her. With the eye of an outsider but a warm heart for the country that became her new home Charlotte Dematons paints with a keen eye for the detail for everything that makes The Netherlands so Dutch. It's easy to see how New York was first New Amsterdam when delving into modern-day Holland. The idiosyncrasies that make Holland so unique are revealed: from pensionada in unisex rain jackets on their bikes to a grandmother with her walker skating on the ice between the scenes of Avercamp Bruegel and Bosch and of course the multicultural Dutch society revealed and celebrated with wit and warmth. 1000 Things About Holland explains all the details of every amazing picture making this book both an I Spy book and an armchair travel guide for anyone already fond of this small country of tulips windmills and so much more.

1885179195New York: G. W. Pach & Brothers c.1885. A landmark moment in the history of teaching Chinese A rare photograph of the first instructor of Chinese at Harvard a well-known example of travel against the west-to-east grain. Ko brought with him from China the books that would form the basis of the Harvard-Yenching library. We can trace only a handful of these cabinet cards in commerce. In the late 1870s Harvard decided to offer Chinese classes to prepare undergraduates for lucrative but demanding careers in the Chinese customs service. After the university raised $8750 to finance a lectureship Harvard graduates in China including Edward Drew and H. B. Morse searched for a suitable candidate settling on Drew's former Chinese tutor from Ningbo. Ko 1838-1882 also romanized as Ge Kunhua arrived at Harvard in September 1879 taking as his first student George Lane Pope Professor of Latin in return for Lane teaching him English. "The few remaining photographs of Ko reveal a dignified middle-aged man in the long high-necked heavy garments of a scholar-official of the Qing dynasty" Harvard Magazine. Ko remained in Cambridge until his sudden death from pneumonia in 1882 following which Harvard paid for his family's return to China. His appointment was far ahead of its time: the university did not restore Chinese to the curriculum for another four decades. Ko was accompanied to the US by his six children five of whom are shown in the second cabinet card although only the names of the sons Ge Zhong and Ge Shu are known. Drew helped pay for the pair's education following their father's death. The Pach brothers established their first studio in New York in the 1860s. Between 1877 and 1890 they traded from 841 Broadway. Both cabinet cards give this main address and the Pach satellite locations including Cambridge and New Haven. In 1895 a fire destroyed the firm's entire stock of negatives. 2 albumen prints c.150 x 100 mm and inverse on card mounts 163 x 106 mm verso with yellow surface-paper printed with Pach mark. Light foxing to images image of children slightly faded: very good.

19023549<p>Longmans Green and Co London 1902. Second Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. 2nd Edition: 1st one-volume edition of Churchill's second book. With frontispiece portrait of Kitchener of Khartoum and 22 maps and plans of which 14 are color and 11 folding. xiv 381 pages. Shelf wear split to hinge spine slightly sunned bumping and mark to front cover age toning and some spotting but overall in very good original condition. The River War was originally published as a two-volume edition in 1899. In 1902 Churchill by then a new member of Parliament revised and abridged his text excising much of the criticism of Kitchener for political reasons. There is also a new Preface. For the next 120 years every one of the many subsequent editions of The River War was based on this 1902 text. This first one-volume edition had only a single printing of just 1003 copies and so is considerably scarcer than the first edition. This edition has the same distinctive gilt decoration of the Mahdi's Tomb and gunboat as the first edition but is bound in red cloth. Two interesting features distinguish this copy. First is the presence of original white endpapers instead of the typical black. Second is lack of the publisher's catalogue; Cohen Vol. I A2.2 p.46 notes "Most copies will have a catalogue designated '10000/7/02'." Cohen also notes that "Sales were gradual" and "by 1 June 1908. 407 copies remained on hand" of which 350 were as-yet unbound sheets. Moreover among the copies we have examined the publisher's red cloth varies quite considerably in hue from a deep red to distinctly lighter shades. In our experience darker cloth has always corresponded to black endpapers and a bound-in publisher's catalogue. This copy - the publisher's original binding featuring medium red cloth white endpapers and no publisher's catalogue - seems almost certainly among the later copies bound and sold by the publisher. In 1883 Mahdist forces of messianic leader Mohammed Ahmed overwhelmed the Egyptian army of British commander William Hicks and Britain ordered withdrawal from the Sudan. In 1885 General Gordon famously lost his life in a doomed defense of Khartoum where he had been sent to lead evacuation of Egyptian forces. Though the Mahdi died that same year his theocracy continued until 1898 when General Kitchener reoccupied the Sudan. With Kitchener was a young Winston Churchill who participated in decisive defeat of the Mahdist forces and the last "genuine" cavalry charge of the British army during the battle of Omdurman in September 1898. Writing about the British campaign in the Sudan Churchill - a young officer in a colonial British army - is unusually sympathetic to the Mahdist forces and critical of Imperial cynicism and cruelty. This work offers us the candid perspective of the future 20th century icon from the distinctly 19th century battlefields where Churchill learned to write and earned his early fame. The text is arresting insightful powerfully descriptive and of enduring relevance. Because it was significantly revised and because so many subsequent editions were based on this text this 1902 first abridged and revised edition is as important and desirable as any in the Churchill canon. The text has been revised and a new chapter on the Destruction of Khalifa and the denouement of the war have been added.
