18712240144Boston: Alfred Mudge & Son 1871. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover green cloth beveled boards with gilt text on front and spine. Exterior shows scuffing and soiling along with edge and corner bumps/wear. The top and bottom edges of the spine are missing sections of the cloth. The main reason for the very low condition grade of fair is because the first end page has been torn out presumably to take out the signature of the original owner. There is only one blank and page and the front still present. The only handwriting that was found in the book is opposite the title page no other markings noted. Pages are toned due to age and there is some pulling and spots and the rear hinge is cracking. This book is in early temperance publication on the evils of liquor and is uncommon to find the original publication - even in this condition. <br/> <br/> Alfred Mudge & Son hardcover
1892416601892. Z. Biol. 28. - München R. Oldenbourg 1892 8° pp.105-129 5 Abbildungen Photogravüretafel mit 13 Abb. orig. Broschur; mit eigenhändiger Widmung "With the author respectful compliments to Professor Mischer". Im Winter 1889/90 kam mir eine Idee welche mich zur Wiederaufnahem des Gegenstandes veranlasste. Es fiel mir auf das wenn es mir gelingen würde einen Abdruck auf eine weiche durchsichtige solide Masse zu übertragen es dann möglich sein dürfte eine Einprägung der Faser in die weiche Masse zu erhalten. Falls diese Einprägungen glatte ungestreifte Einsenkungen hätten den Fasern entsprechend so würde dies ein Beweis für die bauliche Verschiedenheit der Fibrille sein; falls dagegen die Einprägungen gestreift wäre so könnte dies nur der Thatsache zugeschrieben werden dass die Streifung der Einprägungen resp. des Muskels durch die Form der Fibrille bedingt ist welche Form und Streifung im Acte des Abdrucks auf die weiche Masse übertragen wurde.

During my usual afternoon to volunteer I found this book. It was so interesting that I had to write about it. The book's title is "Freaks of Fashion" with illustrations of the changes in corsets and crinolines from remote periods to the present time. It was printed in London by Ward Lock and Tyler Warwick House Paternoster Row. Looking in the last chapter "the present time" was around 1868. <br /> <br /> The first example of a corset was a description of a primitive man making himself a wide belt to hold his knife quiver and other hunting gear. For security he used laces to tighten the belt so it would stay in place. The last illustration in the book is of two ladies wearing the 1868 fashion of a glove-tight-fitted corset along with a cage undergarment called the Zephyrina jupon. <br /> <br /> As I read through the book and enjoyed the illustrations I realized that women and girls had only a few fashions that didn't have them strapped into some kind of contraption so tightly that some would faint. The corset was made from many types of material. Some were made with heavy cloth such as sailcloth and were laced in the front. Others were made of cloth with bone or metal called stays. Those corsets usually hooked in the front and laced in the back. During the reign of the first Queen Elizabeth corsets were made of metal. One description by a French writer is: "This formidable corset was hardened and stiffened in every imaginable way; it descended in a long hard point and rose stiff and tight to the throat making the wearers look as if they were imprisoned in a close-fitting fortress." <br /> <br /> Crinolines are another undergarment that came in and out of fashion. One style was a round hoop of crinoline that extended out from the waist for over 18 inches and draped downward. This style did not go to the floor. Women could show her ankles! There were crinolines that had hoops spaced down the skirt. Each hoop was larger than the one before. This style helped with the illusion of a very small waist. Other fashions had women and men wearing up to three or four ruffs around their necks which restricted turning their head. There were big ruffs made like a large fan that was worn behind the lady's head. <br /> <br /> This book also has information on jewelry shoes stockings and makeup worn with each fashion. Since "Freaks of Fashion" was written before the bustle was designed I wonder what the authors would have said about it." from The Tribune Star Terra Houte IN. Ward, Lock, and Tyler hardcover

Berry 1763-1852 was the editor of the works of Horace Walpole two dramatic plays and A Comparative View of the Social Life of England and France from the Restoration of Charles II to the French Revolution. "These letters are written with such a neglect of style and often of grammar as may disgust the admirers of well-turned periods and they contain such frequent repetitions of homely tenderness as may shock the sentimental readers of the present days. But they evince the enjoyment of happiness built on such rational foundations and so truly appreciated by its possessors as too seldom occurs in the history of the human heart. They are impressed too with the marks of a cheerful mind a social spirit and every indication of a character prepared as well to enjoy the sunshine as to meet the storms of life" Berry p. xix.

A native of London he had been a large holder of Illinois Indiana and Arkansas State bonds when the public credit of those States became impaired.

He was said to have left behind an immense fortune. unknown

Bailey was a state agent with influence over art education in Massachusetts where a years-running competition with Prang came to a head when Prang bought out the American Book Company acquiring evidence of Bailey's involvement in the production and coercing a more cooperative climate for Prang's books in MA schools.

181655305Paris: Vente 1816. Fine. Royal wedding edition of this popular pre-Revolution comedy issued on the occasion of the marriage of Princess Marie-Caroline and the Duc de Berry - and from the library of the Duchess herself who famously sold her books after her failed coup in 1832. The Duchess's wedding occurred only a year after the restoration of the royal House of Bourbon in 1815 following Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo. On that occasion a special performance of Andrieux's 1787 play was performed for the Duchess a devotee of the theater. This rare edition was printed as a memento of that event which was to have massive implications in French history. <br /> <br /> The Duchess's new husband was the king's brother; after the Duc de Berry's assassination in 1820 their son became the heir apparent to the French throne. But when the July Revolution of 1830 deposed the Bourbons the Duchess and her son went into exile. In 1832 however the Duchess of Berry clandestinely returned to France to lead a rebellion becoming "the most wanted woman in France" Samuels. Her coup failed and she was once again exiled; her story would later be dramatized in fiction by Alexandre Dumas as LES LOUVES DE MACHECOUL 1859. <br /> <br /> Realizing she would never return to her beloved library of some 8000 volumes at Chateau Rosny she made the decision to sell it. It was then one of the most famous libraries in France with a tremendous range in philosophy history travel science law theology fiction and theater. This copy's binding and bookplates mark its provenance from the library of the Duchess. It was bound by René Simier 1772-1843 who "had no superior and few rivals during his career" Ramsden 190 with his ticket announcing him as "Binder to the King to Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Berry and to His Royal Highness the Duke of Bordeaux." The binding is in the style the Duchess regularly ordered from Simier featuring her gilt arms on the boards upon a carefully selected full morocco. It further bears the engraved bookplate of Rosny on the unusual pink endpapers. Books from the Duchess's library still appear with some regularity on the market today but rarely with such a close personal connection to the Duchess herself. Contemporary full honey morocco boards stamped in gilt with the arms of the Duchess of Berry bound by René Simier with his ticket "Relieur du Roi de S.A.R. Madame Duchesse de Berry et de S.A.R. Mgr le duc de Bordeaux". Pink glazed endpapers all edges gilt. 4 82 pages. Engraved bookplate of the Bibliothèque de Rosny on front pastedown; bookplates also of Alexis Rouart and Eugène Aubry-Vitet. Only trace rubbing and soil. Vente unknown
