Panorama della City di Londra dal South Bank. Jonathan Potter scrive: "Un prospetto di Londra artistico, con prospettiva verticale esagerato, visto da sud, che enfatizza il profilo della città, dominato da numerose guglie di chiese e dalla vasta cupola di St. Paul”. Elegantemente incisa, la veduta riporta 52 edifici identificati nella legenda, tra cui lo Swan e il Globe, sia in Latino sia in tedesco. Lo stemma della città è collocato in posizione dominante, circondato da vessilli e mercanzie.” Disegnata da Friedrich Berhard Werner, incisa da Johann Georg Ringle e pubblicata da Martin Engelbrecht (1684 - 1756). Incisione in rame, buone condizioni. Rara. A panorama of the City of London viewed from the South Bank. Jonathan Potter writes: “An artistically licensed, vertically exaggerated prospect of London from the south that emphasizes the city’s skyline, dominated by the numerous church spires and the vast dome of St. Paul ’s. Elegantly engraved the view is annotated with 52 buildings identified in the keys in both Latin and German with The Swan and The Globe among those buildings named on the Southbank. The arms of the city sit boldly at the front of the design surrounded by banners and trading wares.” Drawn by Friedrich Berhard Werner engraved by Johann Georg Ringle and published by Martin Engelbrecht (1684-1756). Copperplate, good condition. Rare.

This is Ellis's most important work, arranged in the form of an agricultural calendar. Each part was issued separately with its own title page, complete set are extremely hard to find. William Ellis (c.1700?1758), agriculturist and writer. After a short period in the brewing industry, Ellis bought Church Farm at Little Gaddesden, near Hemel Hamstead, Hertfordshire, were he combined the practice of farming with his passion for writing on the subject. His writings were far more successful than his farming activities and his early books were very well received and "farmers in all parts of the country asked him to visit and report on their farms. He travelled over the country giving advice and observing different farming methods... Many farmers visited Ellis's farm at Little Gaddesden, but they found that he did not practise what he advocated in print, that his implements were old-fashioned, and that his land was neglected and in bad condition." (ODNB). Provenance: Small neat ink stamp of the Lawes Agricultural Library to the title of the first 2 volumes. Fussell II, p. 7; Perkins 561 (the London edition of 1744); Aslin, p.43.

Acquaforte, 1656 circa, con coloritura coeva dei contorni, in buone condizioni.Esemplare del secondo stato di due, con l’imprint di Jacques Lagniet e la data del 1661.La mappa proviene dal rarissimo foglio intitolato “L’Europe par P. Du Val Geographe du Roy”, dal quale è stato ritagliato all’epoca - come anche certificato dalle antiche iscrizioni a inchiostro su alcune delle mappe - venendo applicato su un supporto di carta contemporanea, a formare un piccolo atlante in-sedicesimo oblungo.Non abbiamo trovato bibliografia su questo foglio d’Europa, pertanto ci riferiamo alla scarsa letteratura sui fogli che rappresentano gli altri continenti.Secondo Philip Burden (che descrive la carta dell’America), lo scopo di questa rara curiosità cartografica di Pierre Duval non è noto. Fa parte di un insieme di quattro tavole raffiguranti i continenti. Può essere datato, per motivi cartografici, all’incirca nel 1656. Burden descrive un solo esemplare di primo stato e due prove con l’indirizzo di Lagniet.La mappa dell'Asia è stata recentemente descritta da Jason Hubbard, che elenca un solo esemplare di primo stato e 5 di secondo (cfr. Japoniae Insulae, The Mapping of Japan, p. 201).Richard Betz descrive 3 stati del foglio dell’Africa: senza la data, con l’imprint di Jacques Lagniet e la data del 1661, e con tracce di cancellazione sui suoi indirizzi (cfr Betz, The Mapping of Africa, pp. 294, 295). Elenca un solo esemplare di primo stato, tre copie di quello stampato da Lagniet e tre del foglio con l’indirizzo abraso. Di un secondo stato del foglio del continente europeo, siamo stati di censire solo l’esemplare conservato presso la Bibliotheque National de France, unica istituzione che vanta nella propria raccolta tutti e quattro i fogli dei continenti di Pierre Duval e Jacques Lagniet. Etching, circa 1656, with contemporary outline colour, good condition.Example of the second state, with the imprint of Jacques Lagniet and the date 1661.The map comes from the very rare sheet entitled “L’Europe Par le Sieur Du Val Geographe Ord. du Roy”, from which it was cut at the time and laid down on contemporary laid paper support, to form a small atlas, as certified by the ancient ink inscriptions on some of the maps.We have not found bibliography on this sheet of Europe, we therefore refer to the scarce literature on the sheets representing the other continents.According with Philip Burden “The purpose of this rare curiosity by Pierre Duval is not known. It forms part of a set of the four known continents. It can be dated to apporximately 1656 […] The second state bears the additional imprint of Jacques Lagniet and the date 1661” (cf. Burden, The Mapping of North America, pp. 417-418, n. 322). The map of Asia is recently described by Jason Hubbard: “This miniature map of Japan is on a sheet of maps of Asia. Besides the map of the Asian continent there are 17 detailed maps including Turkey, the Holy Land, Georgia and Arabia. […] This map was issued as a loose sheet of Asia maps; similar maps are known for Africa, America and Europe” (cf. Japoniae Insulae, The Mapping of Japan, p. 201).Richard Betz describes 3 states of the broadsheet of Africa: without the date, with the imprint of Jacques Lagniet and the date 1661, and with traces of erasure on his addres (cf. Betz, The Mapping of Africa, pp. 294, 295). According Hubbard the third state of the map of Asia is only an assumption.Of a second state of the broadsheet of Europe, we are able to find only the example at the Bibliotheque National de France. cf. J. Hubbard, Japoniae Insulae. The Mapping of Japan, pp. 199-201, n. 28; cf. Burden, The Mapping of America, n. 322, II/II; cf. Pastoureau (1984) p. 136; cf. Betz, The Mapping of Africa, pp. 294, 295, n. 85.

Signed by Kevin Duffy on dedication page. No other inscriptions or marks. No creasing to covers or to spine. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards, traces of handling and no bumping to corners. 152pp. This story is of the author's half-century behind the counters of Ireland. He captures the magic of rurality at its romantic best, swept aside eventually by the light of bulbs and the growl of tractors. Life for the farmer was even tougher then, and as Kevin seeks escape from the stones of a thirty-acre farm in Cong, we seek asylum with him behind the counters of countless pubs and shops from Dublin to Shrule. We climb walls with the young apprentice, flushed still with the sound of the dance floor - we count the shillings with him for that new jacket to impress. In time we find him opening his family shop in Kilmaine, and then his own in downtown Headford, where the pressures of married life see him turn his hand to selling exotic items, from farm machinery and Guinness to property and Hondas. We build that dream home with him beside his trout-filled Corrib and travel to many countries on business perks as the Celtic Tiger bites. Above all, we learn that it was not just the men and women behind the sheep wire, or the men behind the gates of schools, churches or barracks that made rural Ireland tick. It was really the men behind the counters who supplied the essentials of life itself.
