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

Two volumes. pp. 514; 523 + Engraved plates. 8vo. 220mm. Original full cloth bindings. Corner of one volume slightly mouse chewed. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) English author, noted primarily for these highly descriptive letters. She was the daughter of the first Duke of Kingston. In 1712 she married Edward Wortley Montagu, who became ambassador to Turkey in 1716. On her return to England in 1718 she worked to educate the public in the use of inoculation against smallpox. In 1739 she left her husband and went to live on the Continent. She is also remembered for her quarrel with Pope, who had once been her ardent admirer and who attacked her viciously in his poetry. Horace Walpole disliked her also and depicted her as a greedy, heartless eccentric. However, recent studies have defended her as a brilliant woman struggling for emancipation. Her letters were first published in 1763. Interesting and scarce. W141

18681911190004J. B. Burr and Company 1868-01-01. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. History of New York Bound in publisher's cloth. Hardcover. Good binding and cover. Spine image rubbed. 718 2 p. 12 leaves of plates : ill. ; 23 cm. "Rising immigration and increasing social stratification affected the development of American cities during the mid-nineteenth century. City guides delineating the mysteries of the metropolis as well as newspapers magazines and novels presented the East's industrializing cities—New York Philadelphia and Baltimore—as fractured societies. According to these publications each was really two cities: one orderly prosperous and bathed in "sunlight" the other menacing poor and steeped in "darkness" or "gaslight". In this frontispiece from the 1868 Sunshine and Shadow in New York the symbolic extremes of day and night were represented by a Fifth Avenue mansion and the Old Brewery an infamous "thieves' den" located in the Five Points slum district. J. B. Burr and Company hardcover
