17305023<p>Copperplate engraving 83.5 x 55.5 cm 1 folio. Fold marks minor edge wear otherwise a very good copy in very crisp dark impression.<br /></p><p>Rare large-format engraved print produced in 1730 as part of the celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession 1530 one of the foundational documents of Lutheranism. The subject of the print is the famous Tranquebar Mission in southern India which was established by King Frederick IV of Denmark 1671-1730 and led by the German missionaries Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg 1682-1719 and Heinrich Plütschau 1676-1752 who are noted for having translated the Bible into Tamil and arranged for its printing.</p><p>The engraving executed by Johann Jacob Kleinschmidt after a design by Elias Riedinger is a splendid example of 18th-century Augsburg printmaking. It takes as its compositional conceit a church altar surmounted by a framed retable. The image above the altar depicts the German missionaries preaching to an audience of natives; in the background of this scene can be glimpsed a statue of 'Biruma oder Brama' Brahma. The elaborately carved frame of the retable is enlivened with vignettes illustrating the successes of the Lutheran mission e.g. an Indian smashing an idol a native being baptized a domesticated elephant symbolizing the people under God's yoke etc.</p><p>Placed atop the altar are oval portraits of Ziegenbalg and Plütschau their names written in Tamil and the books they translated an Indian bible an Indian catechism and an Indian hymnal. A map of southern India hangs on the front face of the altar. Flanking the altar are two young natives: the boy on the left holds the Danish Royal arms and the boy on the right displays the architectural plan of the New Jerusalem Church in Tranquebar built by the Germans and dedicated in 1719. In front of the altar are fallen symbols of the old dispensation. At the foot of the sheet is a poem in Latin and German celebrating the expansion of the Lutheran faith to all corners of the world.</p><p>The engraving is one of several quite ambitious broadside prints produced in Augsburg to commemorate the bicentennial of the Augsburg Confession some of which apparently reproduced paintings executed for the occasion. These rather disparate graphic productions were collected by Johann Michael Roth in 1730/31 and released as a small-edition composite volume with an added engraved title page reading <i>Augspurgisches Iubel-Gedächtnüs</i>. The contents of this rather odd production vary greatly from copy to copy. Kleinschmidt's <i>Vorstellung der Evangelisch-Ost-Indischen Kirche</i> engraving apparently was a commercial success because in 1736 citing demand he released a small-format version of the work its composition slightly altered.</p><p>OCLC locates U.S. examples of the <i>Augspurgisches Iubel-Gedächtnüs</i> at Illinois Duke Getty Stanford Princeton Yale Harvard Emory Concordia Seminary and Cal. State Sutro. The Getty copy includes Kleinschmidt's <i>Vorstellung der Evangelisch-Ost-Indischen Kirch</i> but it is not clear which other examples include this engraving.</p><p>Drugulin <i>Historischer Bilderatlas</i> 4112; S.

1924426129Missouri Illinois Maine New Jersey Colorado Washington DC Kansas New York 1924. Unbound. Near Fine. A collection of 209 letters from 1914 through 1924 from a young man sailor writing home to his wife with some later correspondence. Near fine with small tears and some age toning most on the envelopes.<br /> <br /> The majority of the letters are written from Garnett Blair Martin to his wife India Faye Martin née Gentry with some written from India to Garnett while he was serving in the Navy during World War I. He was stationed in several different base camps and moved around frequently as the letters are from various places in the United States including Missouri Illinois Maine New Jersey Colorado Washington DC Kansas New York among others. <br /> <br /> A large portion of the letters are holiday and birthday cards along with a few postcards sent to Martin’s daughter explaining he will be home soon. However most of the letters are written affectionately to Martin’s wife and with her letters replying in kind. Some of the letters discuss Martin’s experience at the army bases from packing and moving constantly to having physical ailments such as poor eyesight sores and cuts. He also critiques the living situations while at war “it’s cold and cramped here I can’t even smoke a cigarette without blowing it in someone’s face.†Most of the letters somehow find a way back to lovelorn acclamations to his wife about how “a sweet kiss from your dear lips could cure it soon.†Accompanied by a few letters and postcards from friends.<br /> <br /> A collection of romantic correspondence from a wife and husband separated during the World War. unknown

166256266Rotterdam: Floris Willemsen 1662. 7pp. 1 vols. Small 4to. Sewn. Slightly age-darkened but sound. 7pp. 1 vols. Small 4to. Treachery the Dutch and the Danes - West Africa 1662. A very rare pamphlet related to the Dutch West India Company and its settlements in Guinea offering a glimpse of the growing competition among European powers for the slave trade between West Africa and the West Indies. Competition was particularly sharp between the powerful Dutch West India Company and the Danish African Company which had also recently established settlments in Guinea. Against this background emerges the strange story of one Isaac Coymans an Amsterdam merchant who plotted to murder the settlers of a Dutch colony and turn it over to the Danish Crown. He was tried and convicted and this rare pamphlet publishes the sentence of the court: Coymans was imprisoned for six years banished for life from the 7 Dutch Provinces and fined 20000 florins.<br/>It is rare: OCLC locates only one copy in the United States Harvard and four in the Netherlands.

First edition of the British-Indian army s official account of the 1919-20 Waziristan campaign marked "Confidential" on the title-page. The operations followed unrest that arose in the aftermath of the Third Anglo-Afghan War; they were conducted in the mountainous region of Waziristan now in Pakistan by British and Indian forces against the fiercely independent Waziri and Mahsud tribesmen that inhabited it. Since the 1870s the British government agencies were assiduous in compiling internally published histories of their military frontier operations with the intention of providing a "valuable guide" to such British commanders and policy makers as "might have future dealings with these turbulent neighbours" as the Punjab Government phrased it in 1866.
