Barenreiter, 1970 - In-4 - Reliure éditeur sous jaquette - Fac-similé de l'édition de 1655 sans les textes de Zeillerum - Cartes & Planches dépliantes - Textes de l'éditeur in fine en allemand et français - Un accroc sur la jaquette sinon très propre, très bel exemplaire - envoi rapide et soigné De 1655 à 1661, Gaspard Merian édite en allemand et en caractères gothiques, les 13 parties de la Topographia Galliae. Le “Merian” comme on le nomme parfois en France est un célèbre recueil in-4° de gravures illustrant la France du XVIIe siècle. Le titre de l’ouvrage dans son édition originale allemande “Topographia Galliae, oder Beschreibung und Contrafaitung der vornehmsten, unnd bekantisten Oerter, in dem mächtigen und grossen Kônigreich Franckreich.” peut se traduire par Topographie de la France ou description et (visage?) des lieux les plus connus du grand et puissant royaume de France.”. L’auteur du texte n’en est pas moins le géographe allemand d’Ulm, Martin Zeller, qui parcourut la France pendant un an et demi. L’illustration profuse de cette topographie constitue tout l’intérêt de la publication. Gaspard Merian s’est également inspiré de gravures déjà publiées de Nicolas Tassin, Israël Sylvestre, Jan Peeters ou Jean Marot
254 pages including glossary. Based upon interviews with Arne Johnson, Hjalmar Bergren, John McCuish, George Grafton, Edna Brown, and others who helped organize a woodworker's union in British Columbia. This work was begun in 1957 with the intent of recording a history of the woodworker's union in the Lake Cowichan area, of which so many oft-repeated tales have been heard. Intended to embrace only the camps and mills in the area, it grew to be a larger story, until the author was faced with a mountain of data on paper ad tape, and the necessity to draw a line. For this reason, the story is based on the Cowichan region, appropriately enough, since it was one of the vital areas in the establishment of the woodworker's union. Small address label inside front cover else unmarked. A little above average wear. Binding aging but remains intact. Remains a decent copy. Book
