FAN — LOVE CHOICESBiblio.com

Printed emblematic fan with captions in Spanish

18104244France 1810. Hand-colored and color-printed stipple-engraved folding paper fan printed on recto of a single sheet backed in plain paper mounted on original wooden sticks the guards with narrow fillets of decorative bone near rivet the rivet pins with decorative glass inserts; the open fan leaf measuring approx. 169 x 450 mm. total fan height including mount 255 mm.Â The allegorical scene colored in watercolor and gouache; stenciled gold-printed acanthus border at top a gold border at top of otherwise blank verso. Slight wear along a few folds. A colorful womanâ€™s fan probably produced in France for the Spanish market on the theme of choosing a lover or partner. The engraving shows at the center of a clearing in a wood a couple in classical dress the male figure representing wisdom in a helmet armor and cloak the woman with a yellow haloÂ innocence bearing the caption â€œLa inocencia guiada de la sabiduria para elergir un corazonâ€ Innocence guided by wisdom to choose a heart. Flanking the couple are ten hearts some flaming five on each side each containing an emblematic figure with a one-word caption designating the pictured character trait. Those on the left are undesirable qualities e.g. a butterfly labeled Inconstancia and those on the right to which Wisdom is pointing are positive e.g. a dog on a leash labeled Fidelidad. Fans were often accessories in scenes of courting or flirtation in literature the theater and real life. This was reflected in popular themes of fan designs themselves. An English fan from the same period differently presented but bearing a similar message was featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2026 â€œFanmaniaâ€ exhibit Met object no. 38.91.23. It shows â€œan array of potential suitors cast as contrasting types. In addition to offering amusement the fan might have provided a degree of moralizing instruction to young women on behaviors to either avoid or embrace in a prospective beauâ€ exhibit label.Â unknown

Love, Rev E[mmanuel] K[ing]Biblio.com

History of the First African Baptist Church From Its Organization January 20th 1788 to July 1st 1888 . .

18886182Savannah GA: The Morning News Print 1888. Good. 8¼" x 6". Green cloth over boards title gilt. Pp. 5 A-E 6 iv-v blank page 360. Good: Ex-library with remnants of call number to spine bookplate due cards and embossed stamp on title page; moderately shaken boards moderately worn with losses at spine tips ffep heavily notated. This is another copy of Love's History with several outstanding associations. A partially obscured inscription on the front pastedown shows that this particular copy was presented by R.R. Wright to D.C. Suggs. Richard Robert Wright Sr. who wrote part of the book's introduction was born into slavery in Georgia in 1855 and was valedictorian of the first graduating class of Atlanta University now known as the HBCU Clark Atlanta. He became an educator and newspaper editor who went on to serve as the first president of the Georgia Industrial College for Colred Youths GICCY the first public institution of higher learning for African Americans in the state. Under Wright's leadership GICCY hosted renowned lecturers including Booker T. Washington Mary McLeod Bethune and Mary Church Terrell. Wright later founded the first Black-owned bank in Philadelphia and co-founded the first organization of Black-owned banks in the country. The recipient of the book Dr. Daniel Cato Suggs was born in Wilson North Carolina in 1865. He was a wealthy Black businessman active in real estate and a teacher in the public school systems of North Carolina. He served as a professor at GICCY before being elected president in 1917 of Livingston College a private HBCU in Salisbury North Carolina noted for its strong affiliation with the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. This volume also contains a bookplate from Bennett College in Greensboro. Founded in 1873 as a normal school to educate freedmen and train both men and women as teachers Bennett is now a private HBCU liberal arts college for women. There is yet another interesting facet to this copy: the front free endpaper has two pages of handwritten notes regarding a speech given by David B. Hill in Savannah in 1892 as he was campaigning to be the Democratic candidate for United States President. We found the entirety of the speech's text in a newspaper account online and note the oddity of the possibility of a Southern African American attending a Democratic candidate' speech at that time. OCLC shows six holdings of the physical book over four entries. A unique copy with wonderful associations of Love's important history of the First African Baptist Church.

PEACOCK, Thomas LoveBiblio.com

Manuscript outlining the East India Company's official response to criticism of its monopoly and trade practices.

1824181153Likely London: c.1824. Peacock the company man A draft official document composed by Peacock in his capacity as an assistant examiner at East India House. The submission to the Board of Trade summarizing the views of the Court of Directors responds to complaints from tea-dealers in Edinburgh that the company was failing to adequately supply the home market forcing prices upwards and delivering inferior products. Peacock's "provisional appointment. was approved by the court of directors in May 1819 as part of a larger experiment to open the higher posts in the examiner's office to outside talent. At the East India House he showed great skill in drafting dispatches and his appointment was confirmed in April 1821 with a salary rise to £800. His subsequent career was one of steady advancement" ODNB. This document is a provisional draft differing somewhat in wording and content from the final version published in parliamentary papers and signed by Joseph Dart the company's secretary. The document is discussed in the expansive 1924-34 edition of Peacock's works: "The latest Peacock MS. to be discovered consists of his 'Observations on a Memorial which has been presented to the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury from certain Tea-dealers of the City of Edinburgh.' It is a pencil draft written on paper bearing the East India Company's watermark probably in 1824 the date '6th February 1824' is mentioned in the Postscript and the first paragraph explains that the Memorial having been transmitted 'for the consideration and remarks of the Court of Directors of the East India Company the Court have taken the subject into due consideration and submit their observations accordingly.'" Brett-Smith & Jones pp. 461-2. Accompanying this manuscript is a small portion from a manuscript seemingly unpublished Peacock wrote for the London Magazine. It concerns the pleasures of the scenery of Surrey. Bifolia 315 x 200 mm watermarked East India Company J. Whatman 1821 written across 3 sides in pencil with 20th-century typescript transcription couple of handwritten amendments. Provenance: Thomas Love Peacock 1785-1866 - by descent to Edith Nicholls Peacock's granddaughter her handwritten note on the front of the bifolium in which the manuscript is housed: "I suppose this to be part of an article on Indian exports by T.L.P. but it is almost impossible to read it" - reported by Brett-Smith & Jones as acquired in February 1933 by Roger Ingpen 1868-1936 the literary scholar specializing in Shelley and his circle - Charles Dudley Massey 1905-1980 - by descent to Stephen C. Massey. 10 bifolia and single sheet 335 x 210 mm watermarked East India Company J. Whatman 1823 written across 32 sides in pencil enclosed in bifolium of same paper. Enclosed in folded sheet of brown paper folded down to 295 x 210 mm. Toning nicking and other signs of handling more so to enclosing bifolium: very good. H. F. B. Brett-Smith & Clifford Ernest Jones eds. The Works of Thomas Love Peacock Volume VIII 1934. unknown

"ANTHELIA MELINCOURT at the age of twenty-one was mistress of herself and of ten thousand a year and of a very ancient and venerable castle in one of the wildest valleys in Westmoreland." The opening line of Melincourt is indisputably a rejoinder to Austen's celebrated gambit in Pride and Prejudice 1813 and Peacock's sharpest satire of wealth fortune-hunting and politics recounts the fortunes of the heiress and her social climbing friends as well as the bon-vivant Sir Telegraph Paxarent his philosophical friend Mr. Forester and the career of Sir Oran Haut-ton - a "specimen of the natural and original man" and an orang-utan of high fashion "heightened by a pair of enormous whiskers and the folds of a vast cravat" - who is elected as one of the MPs for the venerable rotten borough of Onevote. A rare work that is almost invariably seen in worn half leather bindings the present copy of Melincourt is in a nicely preserved near contemporary binding of dark green cloth with printed spine labels the publication date is too early by a few years for this to to be publisher's cloth a very handsome triple-decker with good provenance. A note from Esther Potter to Marilyn Butler quotes Victor Schulderer of the British Museum who called Meyerstein 1889-1952 a "poet novelist and musician outstandingly gifted and eccentric".
