Flavin & Co. of San Francisco gilt-lettered on rear wrapper within matching border. Twelve accordion-folded pp. bearing 14 sepia-printed images of San Francisco landmarks after photographs. Minor rubbing at backstrip & corners; but a very good fresh copy. § First edition of this seemingly unrecorded viewbook. Ward Bros. of Columbus Ohio whose imprint appears in the margin of the final plate produced a great many such viewbooks for locations both famous and obscure. This one includes the usual images of the Palace Hotel the California Street Hill Fort Point the Cliff House and Seal Rocks etc.; but there is one unexpected view: a full-page plate of a four-story edifice captioned "The Great I. X. L. San Francisco." The presence of this image is explained by the rear-wrapper advertisement which reads in full: "The Great I. X. L. / M. J. Flavin & Co. / Leading Clothiers / Furnishers and Hatters / of the Pacific Coast. / 924 to 928 Market St. / San Francisco." It is clear that this viewbook was issued as a promotional gimmick for this now-forgotten clothier. Not recorded in OCLC Rocq Cowan etc. or in any online library catalogue consulted. Rocq does record a single copy at the Bancroft Library but not appearing in its online catalogue of a "Catalogue and price list of M. F. Flavin's great IXL" issued in San Francisco around 1883; see Rocq 9383. a full-page plate of a four-story edifice captioned "The Great I. X. L hardcover books

187884600Petoskey: Democrat" Print 1878. Very Good. Stereo View Card Mounted double photos on orange card mount which measures approx. 17.5 x 11.5 cm. Some scuffing but still quite sound. Image is decent but not sharp. Text on back signed by Ralph Connable and Church Secretary W. F. Lawton states that the "Rustic Pulpit" was made by Connable and presented to the Michigan Camp Ground Association at Bay View. Chief Petoskey is presumably the individual seated on a chair between the Speaker's Stand and several rows of outdoor seating planks. Proceeds from the sale of this and other unidentified pictures after first paying the photographer's bill were to be used for the erection of a chapel. The Michigan Camp Ground Association became the Bay View Association which still exists and is still affiliated with the Methodist Church although the evangelistic fervor has faded. Phil's parents spent 23 pleasant summers at a cottage in Bay View after Phil's father retired from the Methodist ministry. <br/><br/> Democrat" Print unknown books

180010694London: Printed for Bowles & Carver No. 69 St. Pauls Church Yard 1800. Engraving with beautiful hand-colour. In excellent condition with the exception of tape on the verso of sheet. Image size: 9 3/8 x 15 3/4 inches. Vue d'Optique of the Royal Palace in St. James' Park in London<br/> <br/>During the eighteenth century "vues d'optique" or "perspective views" became extremely popular in England and Europe. Like other optical prints they capitalized on a connoisseur market eager for the latest novelty. English publishers such as John Bowles and Robert Sayer had great success with these optical views which quickly developed into a collecting craze that swept through print shops on both sides of the Channel. "Vues d'optiques" were specifically designed to create the illusion of perspective when viewed with a zograscope or perspective glass. These viewing devices used a series of reflecting mirrors to enhance the illusion of depth in the print creating a veritable "view" for the onlooker. Typically these prints depicted city or landscape views and were horizontal in format. They had roughly the same dimensions and were sold with heavy opaque colouring so as to show the tints when viewed through the lens. In their heyday optical prints were a technical revolution; they could be seen in almost every fashionable drawing room and were enjoyed by the poorer classes in print shops or at traveling fairs. For a small fee the citizens of Europe and England could travel the world without leaving their village. The "vue d'optique" was the first medium to bring the visible appearance of the wider world to a large European public. Ironically the artists and engravers who created these prints rarely had first hand knowledge of the scenes depicted hence the views were often not as accurate as they were advertised to be. As a result of their constant handling optical prints such as these are rare especially in good condition. They are not only beautiful images but a fascinating glimpse into the history of printmaking.<br/> <br/>Clayton The English Print 1688-1802 140-141.
