179066PAN13MAV59Bern 1790. 8vo. Emanuel Haller Contemporary boards covered with sprinkled paper paper title label on spine. With an engraved portrait of Johann Ludwig Wagner and 2 engraved plates by Balthasar Anton Dunker 1746-1807. 4 254 2 blank pp. First and only edition in French of the memoirs of a German postmaster who spent the Seven Years' War as a prisoner in Siberia. After the capture of Prussian Pillau modern Baltiysk by Russia in 1759 Wagner 1735-1820 had unknowingly been sending Russian troop movements to the Prussians but was betrayed arrested and subsequently deported to Siberia. Wagner was first sent to Tobolsk and then to Mangazeya where he arrived more than a year after his arrest and would spend another three years. In the memoirs he "describes the hardships of living there without any self-pity. His observations and experiences during the transportation and finally in the Far North of Siberia are given to the reader in graphic details" Robel. Wagner was released in 1763 and returned home after a journey lasting a year and a half but denied any financial support by the Prussian king. The memoirs are followed by a description of the Russian Empire drawing on earlier accounts but also containing original remarks. In writing his account published in German in 1789 Wagner probably collaborated with Johann Heinrich Würzer one of Prussia's fiercest Jacobins. Both the memoir and the description of Russia deliver accusations against rulers who are not interested in the wellbeing of their subjects and of the rights of people living under occupation.In very good condition.

First editions thus of these catalogues and exceedingly rare complete salesman sample kit for the Wagner Manufacturing garage door hardware in the 1920s. After World War I the explosion and popularity of automobile ownership in the United States created a desperate need to house these often cantankerous and essential machines for homes businesses and commercial fleets. By quickly adapting their hardware sets for elevator doors first introduced before World War I Wagner was able to quickly capitalize on the market growth and need for door hardware to retrofit existing garages as well as new construction. Often coupled with doors produced by Johnson Fimbel Hartford Barber-Colman Overhead and Crawford the Wagner hardware sets proved durable and popular. In addition this sample kit features the specialized steel stud brackets developed by Wagner to help brace garages and sheds adapted for garage doors to hold automobiles as the weight of the doors could damage existing construction as Americans were interested in rolling doors and sectional garage doors rather than traditional swing-out barn-type doors. Wagner 1871-1937 originally founded his company in Cedar Falls IA in 1904 to manufacture children’s sleds coaster wagons and hay rack fixtures with a variety of door hardware. They merge with Star Elevator Doors before World War I and later with Boardman Elevator Control of Chicago with primary customers as Otis Elevator and Westinghouse. In 1934 Wagner began producing the iconic Wagner Overhead Garage Door and by the 1950s had become one of the largest garage door manufacturers in the country.
