4314WORLD WAR I. ALS. 3pgs. November 13 1914. Vienna. An autograph letter signed “Libbie Tappan†by an American living in Vienna at the start of World War One. Tappan writes home to her sister in America concerning wartime conditions in Vienna.

Irene sent one to her Mother she has received an answer to hers. SO I am wondering why I don’t hear from you At that time every thing was excitement. All mails from here was stopped and now we have to leave our letters open. Irene’s Mother wrote her to come home at once but we thought it was to big a risk to run. We had no idea that they were writing all lies until we got hold of an American paper. War was first declared here on account of the to be next king and his wife were killed by the Serbians. There is such a lot to tell but for fear it will never reach you I will only say the German Kaiser is not to blame. The Germans and Austrian Hungarians have never lost a battle we are not starving and there is no…here. All places of amusement were closed trotting was stopped the first of August. Things are beginning to brighten a bit now but there will be no racing until next year. Every available place is filled with wounded soldiers and we don’t see much else but soldiers although there has never been a battle here in Vienna. I am so sorry about Marvin. It seems too bad he had to be taken. I hope you let Eugene and the rest of the folks know about us. We are still in no danger as long as we stay here. I am so sorry I cannot send you some money but it is impossible now. But just as soon as it can be sent will send. Remember me to all the ladies There was a call for linen for the wounded. Irene did two pounds out of my old linen. I thought of you all how busy you would be if you was here there was a ship load of red cross nurses and doctors come over some of them are here in Vienna. There were many Americans went home when your letter went. They were nearly a month on the way. I suppose it cost them a small fortune to go I don’t think of any thing else just now. Will write soon again. Trust you are well and all the ladies also. Berdette & Irene sends love Ever your loving sister Libbie Tappanâ€. An interesting first-hand account. It is in very good condition and the original envelope is enclosed. unknown books

Contemporary full polished calf with hand-tooled decorative borders in blind to both boards six raised bands red morocco label with gilt lettering on backstrip edges speckled red. A good copy internally bright and crisp with light scattered foxing lacks the portrait of John Weever but has the extra engraved title-page and original index the original title-page appears to have been carefully cut along the margins and mounted on what was formerly the ffep the engraved title-page is similarly mounted on a blank leaf from the book that has been detached and slipped in covers are rubbed and scuffed joints are shaken and split though still attached .Notwithstanding these defects the contents are clean intact and very good. In addition to being a discourse on its subject this work is a compilation with commentary on epitaphs arms and inscriptions on tombs monuments church windows et al. The work focuses on the dioceses of Canterbury London Norwich and Rochester. Lowndes and DNB both citing Wharton's Anglia Sacra note that John Weever 1576-1632-poet anthologist and antiquary-made extensive errors in the interpretation of numbers and in transcription. However both note the work's great utility to historians and biographers. Writing in 1899 Sidney Lee who wrote the Weever entry in DNB points out that " .almost all sepulchral inscriptions in Weever are now obliterated" and that "despite its defects Weever's book is invaluable." This copy conforms to the collation and pagination in ESTC S118104 and the Melvyl/UCR record. Recorded copies are often defective lacking either preliminary blanks engraved title-page the frontis portrait or the index. STC 2nd 25223. Lowndes p. 2867-68. NCBEL 1:1158; NUC 653 p. 270.

1762WRCAM46155Paris 1762. Two volumes. 62; 61 leaves each with a mounted plate. Images vary in size either 11 x 16 inches or 8 x 12 inches. Oblong folio. 19th-century gilt cloth rebacked in red morocco. Corners repaired. Wear and soiling to boards. Internally clean colors bright and fresh. Very good. Two large albums containing 123 brightly colored VUES D'OPTIQUE depicting scenes from Paris Rome London and many other locations in Europe. Lettering is typically printed at the top and bottom of the plate primarily in French with the letters at the top reading backwards. The letters above the text were deliberately reversed since these prints were designed for viewing in optical machines with a magnifying glass and a reflective mirror which gave the viewer an illusion of depth and reversed the image. The views are mostly of France including many scenes from Versailles and the ports of the realm. There are likewise a significant number of views of important landmarks around Rome. Other views depict notable locations in the Netherlands Denmark Germany Spain Poland and London. A handful of the plates show more unusual locales such as Mexico City Siberia St. Petersburg Peking Cayenne and French Guiana. Altogether an impressive collection of these handsome engravings. hardcover books
