41087saying "I have a big envy from my name that I cannot explain this strange feeling. Wish I could conceal myself in the heart of my sweetheart." 1 side 8vo. on monogrammed paper no place no date NASER-AL-DIN 1831-1896 Shah of Persia 4th Ruler of the Qajar Dynasty ascended the Peacock Throne in 1848 at the age of eighteen and ruled as Shah-in-Shah until he was assassinated. Following his succession of his father Mohammed Shah Naser-al-Din initially followed a policy of reform but became increasingly conservative. Although he curbed the power of the clergy in secular affairs introduced telegraph and postal services opened the first school offering education along Western lines opened the first railway and launched Persia's first newspaper later in his reign he steadfastly refused to deal with mounting pressure for more far-reaching reform. He was also the titular head of a considerable part of the Muslim world. The majority of his subjects were Shiite Muslims who looked to him as the legitimate successor and Vice-Regent of the Prophet. Demanding implicit obedience it was on account of his religious position that the Shah was able to exercise despotic power as a temporal ruler. His taxation was severe and arbitrary and he amassed a vast personal fortune and an enormous collection of historic diamonds. Nevertheless he still ran up a huge national debt partly as a result of his expensive foreign tours. He paid his first visit to Europe in 1873 and there are many anecdotes recounting his autocratic and 'Oriental' ways. It is said that he offered to purchase a certain court beauty whose charms he admired. There is the tale of his astonishment on finding a picture of an ass priced at five hundred times the value of the animal itself. On another occasion when he was travelling by rail he was shown the communication cord for stopping the train; he immediately made use of it since he wished the train to remain stationary while he took a nap it was only with the greatest difficulty that he was made to understand that this couldn't be allowed even for the 'King of Kings'. Translation: I have a big envy from my name that I cannot explain this strange feeling Wish I could conceal myself in the heart of my sweetheart unknown

Lacking the original slipcase. Near fine. Translation of: L'ordre des oiseaux. Text in English and French. <br/><br/>"When Georges Braque was preparing a series of etchings of birds to be published on the occasion of his eightieth birthday it was learned that St.-John Perse had just completed a poem on the theme of birds. The poet agreed to permit the first publication in the limited edition L'Ordre des Oiseaux with twelve original etchings by Braque. The four reproduced in this book were inspired directly by the poem. Among his last works these etchings mark a change from the static forms in Braque's earlier plates to a more dynamic conception. Perse on his part added to his text several pages of aesthetic meditation referring mainly to the metamorphic vision of the painter and to Braque's birds in general. Braque who with Picasso created cubism and carried it to noble poetic heights embodied in the four plates he created for Perse a generalized sense of power flight grace and space. The poet moves in his text from a particular observation of the flight of birds to reflections on the significance of their movement through space and its impact on man's consciousness. He uses the birds of Braque by relating the process of changing form in flight to the changing form of an etching as the artist carries it through its several states. Robert Fitzgerald poet and Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard University translated St.-John Perse's Chronique and three lyric plays by Paul Valery published in Bollingen Series."

Rare Collection of 3 Vintage Optical Lantern Images of the Qajar king Palace Tehran Isphahan Circa 1905

1905145291905. Magic Lantern Iran Collection of 3 Vintage Optical Lantern images of Iran circa 1905. 3 1/4" X 4." The images include the Qajar king palace royal gardens in Tehran and the Khaju Bridge in Isfahan. In the first image we see a Persian man in traditional 19th century clothing strolling in the Qajar royal Palace and gardens. The second image is a very rare aerial view of 19th century Tehran labeled "the Shah's gardens and the new neighborhoods." Since this image predates airplanes it is an extremely rare find probably using an aerial balloon. In the final image we see the Khaju Bridge which is one of the most famous bridges in Isfahan Iran. It was built by the Persian Safavid king Shah Abbas II around 1650 C.E. on the foundations of an older bridge. It has 23 arches and is 105 meters long and 14 meters wide. The bridge served as both a bridge and a dam and public meeting place as it links the Khaju quarter on the north bank with the Zoroastrian quarter across the Zayandeh River. <br /> <br /> These are positives on a glass lantern Gelatine silver bromure. In 1850 two Daguerreotypists in Philadelphia William and Frederick Langenheim invented a transparent positive image of a photograph in the form of a glass slide that could be projected onto a wall or screen using a Magic Lantern. Magic lanterns also known as optical lanterns provided one of the most popular forms of entertainment during their heyday in the 18th and 19th centuries. Using an artificial light source and a combination of lenses these devices enlarged small transparency images or miniature models and projected them onto a wall or screen. dimensions : The photographer of the first two images Arthur Radiguet died the same year the images were made1905 he worked for the " la Maison Molteni" famous for their lantern images. The third image was produced by T.H. McAllister a very important and famous company based in New York which specialized in magic lantern equipment and images. Scarce and in very good condition. unknown

RÂŽunion en un volume des Satires de Perse et de JuvÂŽnal accompagnÂŽes pour le premier des Commentaires de Cornutus. ''Les savants font cas de cette ÂŽdition''. in Brunet. ''On peut dire avec certitude que Perse ignora la vie et les hommes. Mais il savait cependant entendre ses maÂ”tres et ses amis tels que Cornutus ou SÂŽnÂque. Il avait vingt ans quand NÂŽron fut empereur et n'ignora que peu de choses des turpitudes de la Cour. Aussi son oeuvre contient-elle une part de rÂŽelle satire mais par ÂŽcho et sans l'accent que l'expÂŽrience donne Âˆ l'indignation. Toutes sortes d'allusions d'ironies de demi-mots font entrevoir seulement entrevoir et presque deviner une cour impÂŽriale qui est celle de Tacite : bassesses et indignitÂŽs orgies et sacrilÂges crimes d'Agrippine et de NÂŽron. Au delÂˆ de la Cour la ville : manie du bel esprit profusion des prÂŽtentions littÂŽraires superstitions et dÂŽvotions intÂŽressÂŽes cupiditÂŽ cruautÂŽ Âˆ l'ÂŽgard des esclaves. Mais il est ÂŽvident que la satire morale domine cette oeuvre. Un beau stoÂ•cisme inspire son auteur un stoÂ•cisme reÂu par enseignement mais que le poÂte vivifie par sa noblesse d'Â‰me. Les Satires sont pour ainsi dire des sermons stoÂ•ciens. Perse y cÂŽlÂbre vertu et simplicitÂŽ antiques chaste culte de la philosophie nÂŽcessitÂŽ pour chacun de s'examiner en conscience et de connaÂ”tre ses faiblesses au lieu de juger autrui et de se fier aux compliments conquÂte de la vÂŽritable libertÂŽ sur les passions sur la cupiditÂŽ et le goÂžt du plaisir sur l'ambition et la voluptÂŽ. Chacune de ces satires a de l'ardeur et se prÂŽcipitent en dialogues vifs voire mÂme dramatiques. En somme elles ont la force du sentiment singuliÂrement ÂŽlevÂŽ qui ne cesse de les animer. DÂŽtestant Rome ou plutÂ™t ce qu'elle est devenue JuvÂŽnal fait de ses contemporains une peinture acerbe et sans pitiÂŽ. faisant sans cesse fi du politiquement correct Le tableau parodie d'une Ãuvre perdue qu'il propose de la cour de Domitien le Ã‡NÂŽron chauveÃˆ s'il est riche de notations grotesques rend trÂs bien l'atmosphÂre cauchemardesque d'une ÂŽpoque qui exsudait la terreur. On ne saurait parler sans anachronisme de libertÂŽ d'expression quand il s'agit de la Rome impÂŽriale et JuvÂŽnal se garde bien de s'en prendre aux empereurs rÂŽgnants. Ce qui n'empÂcha pas ses contemporains de lire dans ses propos des allusions Âˆ l'actualitÂŽ de son temps. La langue de JuvÂŽnal permet de se faire une idÂŽe de la variÂŽtÂŽ des parlers latins selon les classes sociales et les rÂŽgions. Elle est Âˆ la fois vigoureuse voire crue et savante. JuvÂŽnal aime jouer du contraste entre les mÃurs des anciens Romains frugaux et barbus et celles de ses contemporains perdus de luxe et effÂŽminÂŽs. Avec Horace JuvÂŽnal constituera un modÂle au XVIIIÂme siÂcle pour les Satires de Nicolas Boileau 1666. Emmanuel Kant retiendra quant Âˆ lui de ses satires leur dimension morale et citera JuvÂŽnal Âˆ plusieurs reprises dans sa Critique de la raison pratique.
