Conservé à l'état d'origine dans un splendide coffret en maroquin doublé de Cretté. - Notes bibliographiques (pour ceux qui prennent le temps): « La Princesse Boudour est regardée par ceux qui savent voir, comme le livre capital de ce premier quart de siècle. Par sa graphie et sa technique générale, elle est une exception préméditée dans le faire de son auteur. Pour la réaliser, il s’est véritablement amusé, cette fois – en tant que lecteur enthousiaste des Mille nuits et une nuit - à commenter graphiquement le texte qu’il connaît si bien et dont il est comme imbibé [...]. Il nous a [...] octroyé le délectable cadeau de trois cent quatre-vingt-dix vignettes et en couleur, et toutes différentes, et qui se rapportent au texte [...]. Et cette munificence schmiedienne n’est-elle pas, en définitive, l’exaltation de notre modernité, et en conformité avec nos goûts, du faire des imagiers incomparables de l’Orient ? [...]. Avec quel attendrissement, avec quelle passion sourde et contenue, qui n’appartient qu’à lui, il a rendu, au moyen des fragiles outils du graveur et du coloriste, la grâce masculine des adolescents, et la tendre chair de banane des radieuses jouvencelles ! [...] Je pense que s’il fallait absolument appliquer une épithète au sourire des adolescentes schmiediennes, et même à celui des adolescents, rien ne leur conviendrait mieux que le mot ambigü... Une atmosphère de pures délices enveloppe cette oeuvre boudourienne, multiple, voluptueuse, spirituelle, et d’une telle essence d’authentique Orient qu’elle nous fait vraiment respirer tous les parfums de l’Arabie. » (Préface du catalogue de l’exposition Schmied à la galerie Arnold Seligmann Rey à New York, mars 1927, pp. 34-37).

In-4° oblungo, occhietto inciso, titolo a stampa, legatura in pergamena, nervi al dorso, 1 carta di spiegazioni, 60 tavole (di cui 9 ripiegate), titolo inciso (Navigli del Giappone), 12 tavole, titolo inciso (Barche di Venezia), 2 carte di spiegazioni, 11 tavole (di cui 2 ripiegate). In totale 83 tavole di navi (di cui 11 ripiegate). Edizione originale estremamente rara. L’unico esemplare conosciuto nelle biblioteche pubbliche è quello della Marciana a Venezia. L’altro esemplare citato da Armao (Correr) non esiste più in questa biblioteca. Quello della Marciana ha solo 74 tavole. Armao, pp 171-72 conta 86 tavole (oltre al testo e il titolo). Crediamo che si tratti d’un errore: anche il numero di tavole ripiegate dato da Armao è inferiore a quello dell’esemplare in questione. Presente qualche piccolo restauro a due o tre tavole, altrimenti esemplare fresco proveniente dal Dipartimento Idrografico di Russia, di cui porta il timbro al verso del titolo: si ricorderà come quest’opera venne composta dal Coronelli per la Nazione Moscovitica, come è indicato nel titolo, v. Armao p.171.: “Vivissimo era a Venezia l’interesse per la costruzione di navi e quando il Governo veneto affidò al suo cosmografo e lettore di geografia l’istruzione di un gruppo di ‘cavalieri moscoviti’ inviati a venezia da Pietro il Grande nel 1697, Coronelli curò il disegno di tutta una serie di navigli che fece poi incidere su rame”. V. “Il P. Vincenzo Coronelli nel III centenario della nascita” p. 357 n.41, che dà la seguente collazione: tav. 71+15 e pp 2+4 In-4 ° oblong, engraved half title, printed title, vellum binding, bands on spine, 1 explanation leaf, 60 plates (9 of which folded), engraved title (Navigli of Japan), 12 plates, engraved title (Boats of Venice), 2 explanatory leaves, 11 plates (2 of which folded). In total 83 plates of ships (11 of which folded). Extremely rare original edition. The only copy known in public libraries is that of the Marciana in Venice. The other copy cited by Armao (Correr) no longer exists in this library. The Marciana one has only 74 plates. Armao, pp 171-72 has 86 plates (in addition to the text and title). We believe this is an error: even the number of folded tables given by Armao is less than that of the specimen in question. There are some small restoration with two or three plates, otherwise a fresh copy from the Hydrographic Department of Russia, whose stamp is on the back of the title: this work was composed by Coronelli for the “Nazione Moscovitica”, as indicated in the title , v. Armao p.171 .: “The interest in the construction of ships was very high in Venice and when the Venetian government entitled its cosmographer and geographer to the instruction of a group of 'Muscovite knights' sent to Venice by Pietro the Great in 1697, Coronelli oversaw the design of a whole series of ships that he then engraved on copper ".

9850Boston: Commonwealth of Massachusetts 1785. Broadside 16.125†x 13.25â€. Title above two columns of text. CONDITION: Good old folds with a few small losses to lettering and ornamental border along folds mostly reinstated by hand. <p>One of only two known copies of an eighteenth-century broadside consisting of sailing directions centering around the Gurnet Light on the north side of Plymouth Bay to guide ships entering and leaving one of the most historic harbors in the United States—the site of the Mayflower’s landing. </p> <p>This pilot was originally published in 1768 in connection with the construction of what is thought to have been the second lighthouse “on the Gurnet head†which included twin beacons or “two lanthorns†as noted in the directions distinguishing it from the Boston Light and making it the first twin lighthouse in America. It was built on land rented from John and Hannah Thomas for five shillings a year and John served as its first keeper. During the Revolutionary War John Thomas raised and served with a regiment of volunteers from Plymouth County. Following his departure from home Hannah took over his lighthouse duties making her the first female lighthouse keeper in America. John died from smallpox in Quebec in 1776 and Hannah continued to serve as keeper until 1786.</p> <p>The Gurnet or Gurnet Point is located at the end of a long narrow peninsula that together with Saquish Neck forms the northern boundary of Plymouth Bay and protects it from some of the sea’s mightiest swells. The Gurnet lighthouse served as a critical aid in navigation through much of the latter half of the eighteenth century. These sailing directions advise “to the southward you may bring them the twin lights in one which is a very good Mark to clear you of Brown’s Island or Sand Bank.†Mariners “coming from the northward bound into Plymouth†are warned “you must not bring the Lights more Southerly than S. by W. to avoid High Pine Ledge which lays N. from the Gurnet Head about two and a half and three miles…†A number of other navigational hazards are mentioned throughout these very detailed directions including the Gurnet Rock Dick’s Flat Muscle Banks etc. While printed from a different typesetting the text of this second edition is nearly identical to that of the first edition suggesting that the directions had proven quite reliable.</p> <p>The Boston Marine Society began as a fellowship of mariners in 1742 and was incorporated in 1754. Among its founders was Moses Bennet the first of the committee members mentioned in this broadside’s title. The Society was founded to “make navigation more safe†1754 charter and to provide relief for the families of mariners lost at sea. “The construction of lighthouses and placement of buoys and markers has often been accomplished with the advice of the Society. Of particular concern to the Society was the appointment of pilots to see to the safe passage of vessels in and out of the port†The Boston Marine Society.</p> <p>While OCLC appears to indicate eight holdings for the 1768 edition consultation of the catalogs of the libraries listed reveals that just two have physical copies Harvard and AAS. The Boston Public Library is also listed as having a copy of the 1768 but theirs is actually the 1785 edition. The OCLC records for the 1785 edition are similarly misleading showing what initially appears to be five physical holdings but all of these turn out to be digital or microform. Bristol and Ford record only the BPL copy. In short there are just two recorded examples of the 1768 edition and one of the 1785.</p> <p>An exceptionally rare and vital New England maritime broadside of the eighteenth-century.</p> <p>REFERENCES: Bristol R.P.

"The Big Apple in two stunning views"Measures each 56,5 x 85 cm, in custom-made mats and fine old frames.Two colored lithographs after the original painting by Charles R. Parsons (1844-1920) and Lyman W. Atwater (1835-1891) representing two different views of the Port of New York. They were published by Currier and Ives, who used to call themselves the "Printmakers to the People". Founded in 1834, they produced high-quality lithographs until the business closed in 1907: hundreds of images that chronicled the growth of the United States. These stunning bird's-eye views show typical boats and ships of the late 19th century veering in and around Staten Island, Governor's Island, part of Brooklyn, New Jersey and Manhattan, and include several points of interest.

Fondée en juillet 1928, la STEAC avait déjà présenté des avant-projets en mars 1931, juin 1932, juin et novembre 1933 et mai 1939. Aux dimensions gigantesques (ouvert aux plus grands paquebots et cuirassés), ce canal devait partir du sud de Bordeaux pour déboucher sur la Méditerranée près de Narbonne. Le présent exemplaire contient 22 sur les 25 pièces indiquées. On s'aperçoit que tous les espoirs de construction du Canal n'avaient pas disparu avec la guerre. Avec toutes ses élévations et ses coupes, ce dossier technique offre une somme de renseignements techniques incomparable. Français

Par le DÈpot gÈnÈral de la Marine. Paris 1757-1804. Large folio 25 1/2 x 20 inches; 640 x 505 mm. Atlas containing thirty-two charts thirty of which are double-page the first of which is folding. Letterpress title and table of plates. Modern half calf over marbled boards. Spine ruled in gilt. Black calf spine label lettered in gilt. Charts mounted on stubs. Title-page and table of plates with a bit of smudging. Some toning to backsides of the charts due to the use of mounting adhesive not affecting front side of the charts. A few charts with professionally repaired small closed tears most of which are marginal and barely affecting the charts if at all. Some old ink and pencil notes on blank backsides of the charts. Overall a very nice copy. Charts after Bellin John Knight Hamilton Moore Stuart Amos Arnold corrected by MacKenzie Joseph Huddart and others. "As with the Neptune FranÃois this volume was made up from the charts available to the French Admiralty. They range in date over half a century from those complied by J.-N Bellin to charts of England's south coast harbours prepared by Napoleon. There are two general charts of the North Atlantic followed by detailed charts covering the whole of the British Isles particularly places of strategic importance such as the Isle of Wright Portsmouth Torbay and Plymouth."
