VERY RARE ILLUSTRATED BROADSIDE ON THE 1656-57 ROME PLAGUE EPIDEMIC Disegno dellâ€™Isola et Altri Luoghi di Roma Serviti in Occasione di Peste lâ€™Anno MDCLVI.

6021This item is currently on reserve; please contact dealer for more details. Etching 285mm x 390mm. Trimmed to neatline with insignificant restoration to the upper right corner. Generally very good. Very rare no US copy fascinating illustrated broadside sold in Rome during the pandemic of 1656-57 presenting through a series of "snapshots" of the city at this dramatic moment in time a rich and varied iconography of its response to the plague. Printed by Giacomo Molinari and sold in the Strada Nuova behind the church of the Giesu close to Piazza Navona the print is composed of 15 vignettes of different sizes and perspectives along with 20 short explanatory captions alphabetized from A to X at the base of the print keyed to guide the reader to a fuller grasp of the situation. Taken together these scenes were meant to capture the city through the measures taken to contain the spread of the disease cure the afflicted and dispose of the dead.Eight are views of civic religious and private resources- some bird's eye encompassing a panorama others close up of specific recognizable buildings- depicting basilicas churches a convent a prison and private residences to give the viewer the scope of the city's repurposed infrastructure. Medieval and modern structures were converted into lazarettos used as temporary quarantine and purgation centers for the afflicted according to the seriousness of their contamination. Two of the views depict the lazaretto brutto leper colony dedicated to the worst cases: the Isola Tiberina and the Convent and Hospital of Santa Maria della Consolazione run by the brothers Hospitallers of Saint John. The Isola Tiberina one of the poorest areas of Rome and close to the Trastevere district with its Jewish ghetto has gates and fences at its perimeter capturing the isolation of the seriously contaminated within its bounds. A depiction of a special boat to ferry the dead Jews and the domestic animals which were tossed live in the Tiber add dramatic macabre details. Three other views are of the lazaretto netto the churches of San Pancras San Eusebio and the private residence of Pius V dedicated to patients with milder cases. In addition there is a representation of a lazzaretto netto e pulito located at the new jail recently built by Pope Innocent X which was used as a stufa something between a Roman bath and a modern sauna where those who were in quarantine in San Pancrazio and San Eusebio were washed and sterilized. The Villa Sandesio is dedicated to the burning of the contaminated clothing. The Basilica of San Paolo le Mure which in fact was the last stop for the afflicted where the deceased received their last sacraments and buried in the mass graves close by is prominently illustrated in the upper left corner.Beneath the views 7 smaller vignettes vividly render social scenes during the pandemic: the images include ecclesiastical dignitaries confessors doctors surgeons all actively moving around the city to alleviate the physical and psychological burden of the sick. Guards omnipresent in the images were responsible for transporting the infected by carriage or by foot to their assigned destinations as well as disposing of the dead and of the contaminated clothing and furniture -- often tossing them in a bonfire in the street as shown by the image in the lower right of the print. Such images recorded and served to emphasize the severe laws of "social distancing" between the sick and the healthy then in place. Additionally along the bottom of the print are 20 short explanatory captions alphabetized from A to X and keyed to the views and vignettes to guide the reader to a better understanding of the situation."The management of the Rome plague of 1656-57 was a great success. Its mastermind was the cleric Girolamo Gastaldi who at the start of the outbreak was serving both as the Commissario Generale dei Lazzaretti the Chief Administrator of the epidemic hospitals and the Commissario generale di SanitÃ per lo Stato della Chiesaâ€¦ Only 4500 died in Rome about 8% of the population compared to the 150000 who died in Naples and 50000 in Genoa representing over half of their respective populations."â€”See Michael Widener's comments on Gastaldi's Tractatusâ€¦ Bologna 1684: https://library.law.yale.edu/news/epidemics-and-quarantines-17th-century-rome. "The well-thought-out measures devised by Cardinal Gastaldi for the control of the plague of 1656 in the Eternal City represent the most logical development of eradicative anti-contagionist practice before the twentieth century and could still serve as a model for action against any truly contagious disease" Hirst pp. 408-9 .The print was engraved by Giovan Battista Gallestruzzi 1615-1669 a painter and engraver member of the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. For more on this artist see https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/giovanni-battista-galestruzzi_Dizionario-Biografico/ It is very rare: Both OCLC and ICCU list only one copy at the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Rome under Gallestruzzi. Rose Marie San Juan in her book Rome a city out of print p. 233-34 attributes the print also illustrated in her book to Johann Friedrich Greuter active in Rome at that time. Nevertheless the monogram of Gallestruzzi illustrated in his Benezit entry vol. IV p. 588 is identical to the one on the print and all indications lead us to believe that the designer of the print is Gallestruzzi.L. F.

Ralston Company Washington D. C.. Ralston Health Club Washington DC.. Webster Edgerly D. C.ABAA

Model Meals for Every Day in the Year and How To Prepare Them: What to Eat to Strengthen the Brain to Make Muscle to Establish Health. Being the third Edition of Ralston Meals re-arranged and enlarged with more than three times as much matter as appeared in the second edition. Compiled by the Ralston Health Club.

18955909Washington D. C.: Ralston Company 1895. Octavo 24 x 15.5 cm. 46 2 pages. Membership application at rear. Cover title: Ralston Model Meals for Every Day in the Year. ~ Evident third edition but first so-titled. Originally published in 1894 under the title Ralston Meals For Every Day. with 38 pages. A second edition with just 31 pages was issued in 1895 and later that year this third enlarged edition. A health community cookbook with recipes numbered 30 to 253 numbers 1-29 enumerate minimally prepared foods such as Bouillon Tea as well as selected grains and fruits. A propensity can be seen for broiled poultry and boiled vegetables but the coverage is broadly standard for its time as baked goods and puddings do not necessarily "interfere with the health of the stomach" page 29. Interest lies less in the entries themselves than in the recommendations for their consumption yams ought not be eaten more than once per week; pearl tapioca should be avoided as should dried currants as both cause appendicitis. ~ A document of the curious social movement geographically anchored in the District of Columbia known as Ralstonism. The Ralstonite system of model meals - here outlined in fifty-five chapters - rested on a "philosophy" of digestibility the determination of which might involve many factors. "A hard boiled egg will digest" we learn for instance "every bit of it but will take much more time than will a soft boiled egg. This extra amount of time that the egg is in the stomach so that it is not fermenting will furnish staying power ." page 59. Strictures against red meat and game alongside the promotion of fresh and dried fruits vegetables and grains of course already had an acknowledged pedigree in health-conscious circles. But present too are some dubious physiological speculations proffered on the basis of "the many experiments made by the Ralston Health Club" page 60. ~ Devised by Webster Edgerly 1852-1926 writing under the pseudonym Edmund Shaftesbury Ralston was an acronym meant to stand for principles of healthy living Regime Activity Light Strength Temperation Oxygen Nature; or perhaps more accurately a backronym designed to fit out the surname of another concocted alias: Everett Ralston if the labyrinthine story related in the 1900 edition of the Club's membership book can be believed Book of Star Ralstonism 12th nominal edition; 77th actual edition Washington D.C.: Ralston Publishing. Odd though its origins may seem the name survived for decades as that of a breakfast cereal marketed by the Purina Mills Company of St. Louis. ~ Slight soiling; central opening loose. Stapled in stained faux-leather brown wrappers with black lettering and decoration; moderately scuffed and corners bumped. Good. Scarce. OCLC locates two copies of the 1905 edition as well as several copies of similarly titled editions dated 1894 and 1895; Brown 416; not in Cagle. Ralston Company hardcover books
