Light rubbing to joints and edges boards just a little marked trivial foxing and faint spots here and there but A REMARKABLY FINE COPY the binding lustrous and showing little wear the paper extremely bright and fresh the margins immense and the paint and gold unusually vibrant. The marvelous illustrations of Dutch engraver and poet Jan Luyken comprise this collection of "remarkable stories" from the Bible each depicted with panoramic grandeur and enhanced with a wide range of finely applied colors and gold. Luyken 1649-1712 had written and illustrated erotic poetry as a young man but later became a devout Pietist after reading the works of German mystic Jakob Böhme. He became a member of the Baptist Church in 1673 and thereafter devoted his talents to producing religious works. The vast scenes here are notable in their scale detail and animation. There are a number of battle scenes from the Old Testament as well as dramatic depictions of the plagues and a fascinating episode from the histories of Josephus depicting Herod's soldiers being lowered down the side of a cliff in large boxes suspended from chains in order to attack the thieves hiding in caverns on the cliffside. There is a majestic portrayal of the Queen of Sheba arriving at the court of Solomon a peaceful scene of Adam naming the beasts in the Garden of Eden and a festive celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles. New Testament scenes include a terrifying final judgment a blinding conversion of St. Paul and scenes from that Apostle's travels. The engravings have one common trait: they are heavily populated whether by men or beasts and one of Luyken's special gifts is to render every person in the crowd as an individual with his own concerns and reactions to the events at hand. The engravings while already greatly pleasing in black and white are even more stirring and memorable when seen in the full color and gold used here. Expansive tableaus are given greater definition and clarity and events such as Noah’s flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah are rendered even more successful in expressing the awesome powers of the Almighty. The illustrations are quite definitely Protestant in point of view: there are no depictions of the Virgin Mary not even a Nativity scene. Except for engravings of the Annunciation to the Shepherds and the Massacre of the Holy Innocents the illustrations focus on Jesus as an adult and on the work of his Apostles spreading the gospel. There were earlier editions containing Luyken's 62 large plates which originally appeared without text as here in 1708 and they appeared again with a text in Dutch in 1729 and in French in 1732. Copies of these editions appear with some regularity in the marketplace but are usually not colored and are often found incomplete or with other major condition issues. We can trace no record in RBH or OCLC of a copy of our 1790 edition and we can find nothing that compares with the quality of coloring and grand height attained by the monumental margins seen here.

These are appealing examples of the illustrated works that were so popular in the Victorian era providing readers with glimpses of the nobility images of their favorite literary characters and the opportunity to enjoy dramatic scenery from the comfort of their drawing rooms. The first two works here contain portraits of beautiful women both real society belles and heroines of bestselling romances. The latter two transport the armchair traveller to the wilds of Wales to the Austrian and Italian Alps and to the Rhine River. Although in black and white the engravings are so detailed and finely executed particularly in the use of shadow and light that both portraits and landscapes come to life. In the days before photography--much less streaming videos--books like these brought beauty and imagination into everyday lives.

40 [Jewish Food Finally Appears in the Dominant General English Cookbook] Acton, Eliza Engravings by Henry Adlard [Lady Judith MBiblio.com

MODERN COOKERY FOR PRIVATE FAMILIES: REDUCED TO A SYSTEM OF EASY PRACTICE IN A SERIES OF CAREFULLY TESTED RECEIPTS IN WHICH THE PRINCIPLES OF BARON LIEBIG AND OTHER EMINENT WRITERS HAVE BEEN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE APPLIED AND EXPLAINED ; INCLUDING: "FOREIGN AND JEWISH COOKERY"

185843455London: Longman Brown Green and Longmans. Printed by Woodfall and Kinder 1858. Newly revised and much enlarged edition the 3rd printing to include "Foreign and Jewish Cookery." Late 19th Century Cloth Binding 12mo; xlvii 643 32 pages 714 total 8 leaves of plates all present. 18 cm. Early printing following the addition in 1855 three years earlier of a new section on "Foreign and Jewish Cookery;" That was also the first edition issued under the now-famous title Modern Cookery for Private Families. Includes index and 32-page publisher's catalogue after text. Famously Lady Judith Montefiore published the first English-language Kosher cookbook The Jewish Manual in 1846 primarily for other Jewish housewives and meal planners. Less than a decade later however leading British cookbook author Eliza Acton took Lady Montefiore's Jewish cooking tips one step further celebrating and normalizing them for cooks of all backgrounds across the Commonwealth through a new expanded edition of her best-selling cookbook Modern Cookery. Journalist Rita Ehrlich notes that between these two works "The first Jewish recipes published in English reveal the place of accomplished Jewish women in 19th Century high society. Among the welter of cookbooks published in 19th century England Eliza Acton's Modern Cookery for Private Families stands out for its clarity its practicality its occasional humour and its inclusion of Jewish food. First published in 1845.The 1855 edition included a section on Foreign and Jewish Cookery and among the recipes was one for Jewish Almond Pudding. It was one of the few recipes Acton had not tested herself. 'We have tasted the puddings . more than once and have received the exact directions for them from the Jewish lady at whose house they were made.' A Jewish lady - presumably the same one - provided her and thereby the readers with the address of a Jewish butcher in the London suburb of Aldgate from whom one could procure smoked beef and a chorissa sausage. Acton noted that 'all meat supplied by Jew butchers is sure to be of first-rate quality as they are forbidden by the Mosaic Law to convert into food any animal which is not perfectly free from all 'spot or blemish''. She also noted that the Jewish dietary laws which forbade the mixing of dairy and meat were 'not very rigidly observed' by most English Jews. The date of that book is striking. Jews were part of English society by 1855 with a Jewish Lord Mayor of London Sir David Salomons a leader in the campaign to allow Jews to sit in Parliament. Lionel de Rothschild took his seat in Parliament in 1858 the year of this copy's publication following the passing of the Jews Relief Act. He had been elected a number of times; the sticking point had been the need to swear the oath 'upon the true Faith of a Christian'. Even if we did not know about the number of wealthy highly regarded and influential Jews in London at that time the fact that an author would include specifically Jewish recipes and shopping advice in a bestselling cookbook that also recommended Jewish butchers for the quality of the meat suggests strongly that there was companionable social exchange. The almond pudding recipe appeared in an earlier book published in 1846 called The Jewish Manual edited by A Lady no doubt the same lady who had entertained Eliza Acton. She was almost certainly Lady Judith Montefiore wife of the influential philanthropist Sir Moses Montefiore and the book was the first Jewish cookbook in the English language" Rita Ehrlich When 'A Lady' taught the English to cook kugel and Jews to be English 2022. thejewishindependent.com.au/when-a-lady-taught-the-english-to-cook-kugel-and-jews-to-be-english. Eliza Acton 1799-1859 "was an English food writer and poet who produced one of Britain's first cookery books aimed at the domestic reader Modern Cookery for Private Families this work. The book introduced the now-universal practice of listing ingredients and giving suggested cooking times for each recipe. It included the first recipes in English for Brussels sprouts and for spaghetti.Some time after Modern Cookery was published Acton moved from Tonbridge to Hampstead north west London. She became the cookery correspondent for the weekly magazines The Ladies' Companion and Household Words and began writing.a new edition of Modern Cookery. This was published in 1855 and renamed as Modern Cookery for Private Families the name by which it is best known. This version contains an additional chapter named 'Foreign and Jewish Cookery'; the Jewish recipes are from Ashkenazi cuisine" Wikipedia. Indeed Eliza Acton's "Modern Cookery. "is considered the first practical cookbook specifically geared toward the everyday cook. The schoolteacher poet and cookery writer Eliza Acton 1799-1859 published a number of poems as a young woman and 'in 1837 . her publishers Longmans suggested she should write something more practical than poetry so for the next few years she applied herself to meticulous research for the work by which she is best known: Modern Cookery for Private Families first published in 1845. The book was well received on its first appearance; critics thought it the best cookery book they had seen combining as it did clarity of instructions with excellent organisation. The book was a lasting success running into several editions and was the standard work on the subject until the end of the century establishing Eliza Acton as the first of the modern cookery writers. She wrote with great charm and clarity but what marked the book as innovative was her original plan of listing very exactly the ingredients the time taken and pitfalls for the inexperienced cook. This was a completely new format all other books on the subject being far less exact in their instructions. This became the standard way of writing cookery books."Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Modern food journalists Sue Dyson and Roger McShane suggest that Acton's Modern Cookery "is an absolutely essential part of any serious cookbook collection" https://foodtourist.com/modern-cookery-for-private-families-by-eliza-acton.

[Design Binding] [Botelho, Camille] Parmenides | Bringhurst, Robert (trans); wood engravings by Richard WagenerBiblio.com

The Fragments of Parmenides & an English Translation by Robert Bringhurst

10427Berkeley CA: Editions Koch 2003. Full Leather. Fine binding. Folio. 44 pp. frontis plates. Limited edition one of 120 copies this copy out of series; there are also 26 lettered deluxe copies with a suite of 10 engravings. All are signed by Bringhurst Wagener and Peter Koch at the colophon. Bound by Camille Botelho in black box calf with inlays and onlays of dyed calf vinyl snakeskin painted paper mylar laminates and a porcupine quill; hand embroidered endbands; vinyl snakeskin doublures. A fine copy in clamshell box. True to form Peter Koch has produced a marvelous edition of what remains of Parmenides's poem "On Nature." The fragments of the poem are rendered in this opposite page bilingual edition with the Greek on the left and Bringhurst's English translation on the right. The poetry is brilliantly accompanied by Wagner's striking engravings a frontispiece and 4 additional wood engravings in red and orange. Given it survives only in fragments there is some debate as to the "meaning" of the symbolism of Parmenides's poem making it a work ripe for interpretation. But at base his view of reality is one of stasis unchangeable. And while that enduring Greek logic marks the work Wagener introduces remarkably abstract and kinetic illustrations printed in an urgent deep red and orange—projecting anything but stasis. It is the discord between the logical understanding or reality and the emotional understanding of it that spoke to Botelho and informed her design of this incredible binding. She writes: "In the design I thought of Parmenides looking out past shadowy arches from within a dark room to find total chaos beyond. The curve of the Mylar inlay and the curve of the porcupine quill mimic a column marking a threshold beyond which is uncontrolled noise and movement and mess. I wanted the disparity between the smoothness of the box calf and the chaos of the inlays and yellow foiling to be a comment on how frightening examining one's reality can be." Magnificently achieved Botelho has created an exceptional binding that bridges Parmenides and Wagener giving voice to the paradox she sees in this metaphysical conversation on the nature of reality.
