57353London: Goddard & Co. no date 1872-1873. Part-Song Collection INSCRIBED FIRST EDITIONS with two significant associated inscriptions. Two six-part series bound as one volume. Large octavo 27 x 19cm. With the composer's blue ink stamp-signature to title page of each Part Song. Additionally INSCRIBED in pencil to the composer's sub-conductor of the Royal Albert Hall Choral Society Charles John Hargitt 1833-1918 to 'Omnipotent Lord' and 'The Farewell.' Contemporary burgundy quarter morocco with gilt titles to spine and gilt legend 'From the Composer' to matching cloth over boards. All edges speckled red. Illustrated monogram bookplate of Dr. C.J. Peacock a notable Tunbridge Wells book-collector to front pastedown including a 'book curse.' A subsequent black ink gift inscription to fly-leaf detailing transfer from the sculptor artist and picture-restorer Henry Thomas 'Dover' Schafer 1854-1921 to Tunbridge Wells resident Mahala Camilleri died 1970 dated 1921. An additional slightly erroneous description of provenance in blue ink to a loose sheet of card signed by Mahala including a description of Schafer's career. Erroneous description of provenance in pencil partially erased to rear pastedown. Light toning and spotting throughout. Some tape burns to first title page; second title page torn right across horizontally with tape repairs to verso. Light rubbing and bumping to boards. Head tail and joints of spine heavily rubbed. Very good. A complex chain of provenance has been slightly confused by one owner Mahala Camilleri who notes that the collection was inscribed by the eminent French composer M. Gounod to a 'Marquis de Margett.' The pencil name is actually that of C.J. Hargitt sub-conductor of the Royal Albert Hall Choral Society during Gounod's tenure as the director of the society from 1871 to 1874. Hargitt retired to Tunbridge Wells in 1904 allowing the volume to very briefly enter the collection of Dr. Peacock who leaves his delightful bookplate and then swiftly pass from the picture-restorer Schafer to Camilleri who kept it safe for nearly fifty years.

4475En 1853, Nadar (pseudonyme de Adrien Gaspard-Flix Tournachon) dessinateur, caricaturiste, journaliste et romancier ses heures, installe un atelier de photographies, au rez-de-chausse avec jardin au 113, rue Saint-Lazare. Il reoit ses amis Eugne Delacroix, Thophile Gautier, Alexandre Dumas, Grard de Nerval. Son assistant prpare les plaques dans un atelier du jardin. Nadar parade dans sa vareuse rouge et affiche ses sympathies pour les rpublicains et les peintres impressionnistes refuss au Salon. Il produit alors le meilleur de son oeuvre, des portraits dans des poses classiques rappelant le travail d'Ingres. La construction du nouvel atelier, boulevard des Capucines, met un terme sept annes de grande crativit. La situation financire du photographe ne cesse de se dtriorer. Derrire la faade rutilante, Nadar est condamn un "travail ht, forcment fivreux, haletant jusqu' la livraison, se compromettant pour presser, forcer le paiement, achetant tout plus cher, sacrifiant souvent tout bnfice pour rentrer dans le solde, dvor dans d'insupportables proportions par l'effroyable usure des frais de justice !".Passionn par toutes les innovations, en 1858, il dpose un brevet pour le "Nouveau systme de photographie arostatique" et fait construire un ballon, Le Gant, bord duquel il prend les premires photographies ariennes. Aprs la Commune, Nadar ouvre un nouvel atelier, plus modeste, 51 rue d'Anjou, mais la priode de grande crativit ne revient pas et les affaires sont loin d'tre prospres. Il cde son affaire et rdige ses mmoires, Quand j'tais photographe, avant de s'teindre en 1910.
