18094<p>A rare and beautifully preserved example of Regency-era British juvenile publishing at its finest. This second edition of <em>A Book Explaining the Ranks and Dignities of British Society</em> published by Tabart and Co. at the Juvenile and School Library 157 New Bond Street London 1809 represents one of the most visually distinguished educational books of the early nineteenth century — and this copy is among the finest in the market today.</p><p>Published anonymously and now firmly attributed to Charles Lamb 1775–1834 — the celebrated essayist and author of <em>Tales from Shakespeare</em> — the book was dedicated by permission to Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth daughter of George III in a dedication dated London February 2 1809. Lamb himself confirmed his authorship in a letter to his friend the explorer Thomas Manning written the same year.</p><p>The work presents the full hierarchy of British society — from the King of Great Britain down through dukes earls viscounts barons bishops judges military officers and civic dignitaries — in prose descriptions paired with 24 hand-colored engraved plates each depicting its subject in full ceremonial dress. The plates published by Tabart & Co. June 4 1805 New Bond Street are vivid and bright retaining exceptional color after more than two centuries — a quality rarely encountered in surviving copies of this title which commonly show fading discoloration or loss.</p><p>The first edition appeared in 1805 under the slightly different title <em>The Book of the Ranks and Dignities of British Society</em>; this 1809 second edition incorporates revisions and was printed by Heney & Haddon 12 Tabernacle-Walk London at the original price of seven shillings coloured. It is referenced in the standard bibliography of Tabart publications as Moon T-152 and in <em>Livres de l'enfance</em> as Gumuchian 3594.</p><p>This copy was professionally rebound in 2008 by Talin Bookbindery of Yarmouthport Massachusetts — one of Cape Cod's most respected fine binderies — in half red morocco over marbled boards with the original receipt Keith Bradley Chatham MA August 28 2008 $217 laid in. The rebinding is documented tasteful and entirely in period style preserving and protecting what is clearly a book of considerable age and significance. The striking peacock-pattern marbled endpapers red/blue/cream marbled board edges and gilt-ruled spine with raised bands present the volume handsomely.</p><p>The book was produced at a moment of considerable historical resonance: Britain was deep in the Napoleonic Wars George III was in the final years of his reign before the Regency and the social hierarchies depicted within these pages — the robes the titles the precedences — were living realities of British life rather than historical curiosities. That Lamb chose to explain this world to children speaks to both his civic seriousness and the remarkable educational ambition of Tabart's juvenile library which stood at the vanguard of early children's publishing in England.</p><p><strong>Physical Description & Condition:</strong> Half red morocco over marbled boards rebound by Talin Bookbindery Yarmouthport MA 2008 with original receipt laid in. 15.5 x 10.5 x 2 cm. 4 136 2 2 ads pp. Frontispiece and 23 hand-colored engraved plates all present and in exceptional color.

1809147994London: Tabart and Co. 1809. Second edition of this satirical work with beautiful color plates. Octodecimo contemporary calf bound in three-quarters morocco over marbled boards with gilt ruling to the spine with 23 of 24 hand-colored plates with The Knight missing as is common for this title. In very good condition bookplate to the front pastedown and ownership inscription to front free endpaper. Charles Lamb 1775–1834 was an English essayist poet and writer best known for his works Essays of Elia and Tales from Shakespeare. Although primarily celebrated for his literary essays Lamb also ventured into social commentary as seen in his lesser-known work A Book Explaining the Ranks and Dignities of British Society 1811. The book offers a satirical yet insightful exploration of the various classes and social hierarchies in British society during the early 19th century. Written in a light and engaging style it critiques the class distinctions and often mocks the pretensions of the British aristocracy reflecting Lamb's sharp wit and social awareness.

Sheep raising was actually introduced into Montana’s Bitterroot Valley by Catholic Missionary Father De Smet and over the 19th-Century often grew in concert with cattle raising with many ranches maintaining both herds. Following the disastrous Winter of 1886-1887 in which thousands of cattle died off sheep ranching became the predominant stock shipped into and out of Montana as they not only handled the Montana Winters well they cost much less to raise and wool was a significant commodity. Hageman 1872-1944 had settled in Montana in 1896 and started operating as a photographer in the Bitterroot Valley by 1898 later partnering with Moore 1869-1955 for a short time in a photo studio in 1890 before both went out on their own by 1891 with Hageman operating as photographer until his death and Moore going first to Missoula and then Los Angeles.

Fine set with a tiny puncture and a creased lower corner to title page in Vol. I and ownership signatures in pencil to title pages. Overall a gorgeous and clean set. Lady Caroline Lamb's third novel Ada Reis follows the roguish title character who is sold into bondage at a young age and grows to be a hard-drinking and murderous young man. He later receives a prophecy from a sorcerer that he "shall be king in another land" and his illegitimate daughter Fiormonda "shall wear an imperial crown." In Lamb's introduction she writes that the book is the "simple narrative of what occurred to Ada Reis and his daughter that those who read may place the awful record in their hearts and learn to worship God and to be humble in themselves." The narrative is fictionally presented as a real manuscript that has been translated into English from Arabic Spanish and Inga. Lady Caroline Lamb 1785 - 1828 was a novelist best known for her debut work Glenarvon 1816 which caused a sensation when it was published. The book featured a title character based heavily on Lord Byron with whom Lamb had an intense affair with between March and August of 1812. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine.

Wise Ashley Cat. III 52; Thomson p. 76. A hint of rubbing to front joint occasional mild browning due to paper quality but A FINE COPY clean and fresh internally and in a lustrous binding.<br/> <br/> In a lovely Art Nouveau binding by a Belle Époque master this is a collection of poems assembled by essayist Charles Lamb 1775-1834 to launch the publishing career of his friend and future son-in-law Edward Moxon 1801-58 to whom he dedicated the work. Composed of rather slight verses composed for the amusement of Lamb's friends and of more substantial works previously printed in periodicals this first book bearing Moxon's imprint did well enough to attract the business of other prestigious poets many of them friends of Lamb. Moxon who married Lamb's adopted daughter Emma Isola in 1833 went on to print the works of Wordsworth Shelley Tennyson and other luminaries of the Victorian era. The graceful binding is by Belgian master craftsman Charles de Samblancx or Samblanx 1855-1943 who began his binding career at age 11 as an apprentice to Coppens. He eventually established his own firm though from 1889-1909 his gilder Jacques Weckesser was in partnership with him. His binding career extended over several decades and he worked in a variety of period styles sensitively reproducing the bindings of previous centuries. His work often involving great complexity of design is invariably executed with the highest degree of skill. Our copy was once owned by American bibliophile and Grolier Club president Edwin Holden 1861-1906. Edward Moxon unknown

189160747Portland OR & Ilwaco WA: Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. McAlpin & Lamb W. Morrison July 1891. Oblong albumen photo sized 9.5 x 7 in. mounted on cream-coloured studio board sized 8 x 10 in. slight curving still a superb exemplar from the library of from the library of Caroline Augusta Gray Kamm 1840-1932 noted socialite and philanthropist in Portland built home for poor women & girls with the YWCA and was daughter of PNW pioneer William H. Gray 1810-1889 who traveled to the Lapwai Mission in Lewiston ID in 1836 where he was the Nez Perce secular agent and she subsequently later married Jacob Kamm 1823-1912 pioneering Oregon steamship builder industrialist entrepreneur and co-owner/operator of the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. This outstanding original albumen photo was issued as a promotion for the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. and the soon-to-be-launched Sidewheeler Ocean Wave. Designed by Jacob Kamm the Ocean Wave was 180 feet long 29 feet at the beam and depth of hold at 9 feet with a much larger deck which was cantilevered out to accommodate the side-wheeler configuration and grossed 725 tons. She was powered by two James Rees & Co. steam engines 24 foot sidewheels fitted with 10 foot planks over 10 feet long and capable of 18 miles per hour. She included enough state room accommodations for 115 passengers and berths for 75 more. Her first captain was Lester Bailey and the Ocean Wave was a vital link to the short narrow gauge railroad on the Long Beach Peninsula which transported vacationers from Portland to Ilwaco WA with a stop in Astoria. In 1897 Kamm’s co-owner of the IR &N maneuvered to lease out the Ocean Wave to the Columbia River & Puget Sound Navigation Co. “White Line†to compete with Kamm’s Vancouver Transportation Co. then operated on the Puget Sound from 1897 to 1899 and finally as a ferry operating in San Francisco Bay from 1899 to 1911 and was the first ferry placed in service by the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway.
