180417061804 Couverture rigide Paris, Marcilly, 1804. Un volume in-24 (11 x 6,5 cm), cartonnage maroquiné de l'éditeur, dos lisse orné, roulette dorée d'encadrement sur les plats, fermoir maroquiné (sans son crayon), tranches dorées, coiffe supérieure fendue, coins émoussés. Titre gravé, calendrier révolutionnaire en 2 feuillets dépliants ornés de petits bandeaux illustrés, 1-20 et 45-62 pages (pagination non continue), 24 pages et 21-44 pages (pagination non continue), 30 feuillets blancs avec filigrane destinés à la prise de notes, almanach illustré de 12 figures gravées autour de la mode, rousseurs éparses. La pagination non continue s'explique par le fait que les feuillets dédiés au budget (pages 21-44) ont été déplacés en fin d'ouvrage ; exemplaire bien complet. Sous le Premier Empire, les almanachs étaient des publications très prisées, mêlant informations pratiques, divertissement et illustrations. Ils pouvaient être généralistes ou spécialisés, comme l’Almanach des Modes et de la Parure. Le nôtre contient des chansons, des notices historiques sur la mode et la toilette, ainsi que des pages dédiées à la gestion du budget, et en fin d’ouvrage, des feuillets blancs pour prendre des notes. Charmant almanach illustré témoignant de l’élégance du Premier Empire. Bon exemplaire, en assez bon état.

1829List3693Philadelphia 1829. Folio 2 pp. Tear to title page some chips to margins with loss good condition overall. An early Philadelphia theatrical music imprint by I. T. Norton credited on the sheet as “I. T. Norton R.A.M. Composer & Director of the Music to the Chestnut St. Theatre.†Norton served as musical director at the Second Chestnut Street Theatre during the late 1820s a period when the house mounted a mixture of melodrama burletta opera excerpts and popular entertainments requiring resident musical supervision and arrangement. Theatre directors of music routinely composed incidental numbers glees and topical songs for stage performance and subsequent publication bridging the repertory of live performance and domestic music-making.<br /> <br /> Mister Punchinello! draws upon the well-known Punch and Judy puppet tradition. The text is lyrically straightforward built around the repeated refrain “Oh mamma I must be married to Mister Punchinello†suggesting a number intended for accessible vocal delivery rather than elaborate dramatic structure. The R.A.M. designation appended to Norton’s name—presented without elaboration on the imprint—appears as a professional credential typical of early nineteenth-century music publishing though he very well may have never attended the Royal Academy of Music.<br /> <br /> A representative survival from the intersection of Philadelphia theatre culture and early American sheet music production. OCLC locates about a dozen copies across multiple entries. unknown

1841V74754Wien Vienna: Mayer & Compagnie 3rd revised edition. 1841. Hardcover. Good. Frontisplate 59 other steel-engraved plates lacking pl.50 Sisyphus originally engraved on copper in 1815 by Franz St ber 1795-1858. Large octavo 24cm x 15.5cm newer linen-spined boards with old paper relaid on covers and spine has title but lacks original paper at spine head and foot. Unpaginated but each numbered plate has tissue guard and facing leaf of text in German to explain each myth. Lacks plate 50 maybe cut out by censor. Some foxing and light marginal damp marks at gutter not touching engraved part of plates. The steel-engraved images of gods nymphs and heroes are quite small 9.5cm x 6.5cm printed on strong paper at centre of each plate but of very fine quality and detail. They are closely based on similarly numbered copperplate engravings by Franz Xaver St ber first published Vienna 1815 in similar large octavo format but with completely different anonymous German text. The detail of these later steel engravings only differs from St ber's original 1815 copperplates by covering up some female breasts better to comply with 1840s more prudish moral code. They still retain the strongly erotic impression given by many of the originals thus helping to maintain their popularity over more than 25 years. Mayer & Compagnie 3rd revised edition. hardcover
