19th century. An album of prints and photographs. 355x285mm. 79 cardboard leaves 340x270mm on which are pasted high quality monochrome prints from famous and not so famous paintings. Towards the back are a few original photographs. The card pages have one or two prints pasted on and around most of them are home-made paper frames of different colours and beneath the prints titles and the painters's names have been inscribed in a neat hand. The reproductions of the paintings are of a very high quality and the whole album has been lovingly put together and is clearly the work of some considerable time. The aesthetic is firmly that of Victorian sentimentality and none the worse for that. There are lots of animals children a fair bit of gentle religiosity wholesome rustic scenes jolly families and quaint humour. A real period piece. 19th century unknown

original artwork. Anonymous signed with initials "E.W.J.". The British Excursionist in Paris July 1871. An amateur series of sketches about the suppression of the Paris Commune. July 1871 or shortly thereafter. Single sheet 220x280mm pen-and-ink drawing divided into four captioned panels each illustrating a satirical scene involving British visitors in Paris following the suppression of the Paris Commune. Signed with initials "E.W.J." at lower right. Very good condition overall. Some light toning minor surface marks with a crease to the bottom right hand corner. Preserved within a scrapbook with the reverse with hand written poems and a montage of contemporary pictures. A contemporary British satirical response to the aftermath of the Paris Commune of March-May 1871 drawn shortly after the violent recapture of Paris by government forces. The four scenes depict British tourists negotiating ruined buildings compromised hotels and rubble. The captions from July 1871 or shortly after are from when British travel to Paris cautiously resumed and the amateur artist may well have visited Paris at around this time or conversely may have sketched these scenes based on contemporary reports in the press. Either way it is rare British contemporary satire about the Paris Commune. . Very Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1871. original artwork paperback

Not Stated: The Pembridge Design Studio 1985 . First edition. Paperback. Very Good Indeed. 10" by 7". None. An excellent copy of this very scarce work on the occult powers of numbers. This unusual and very scarce first edition anonymously authored discusses various esoteric ideas about the powers of numbers with reference to philosophers and mathematicians from Pythagoras and Plato to Robert Fludd.The preface of the work explains the idea that 'man always seems to have had an overall understanding of an ordered universe despite his chaos within. That individual numbers have their own characteristics and qualities has been a consequence of this attitude towards cosmic order and they present themselves as symbols of an ordered movement from the invisible to the visible universe'.Produced by the Pembridge Design Studio a small private press in London that operated in the 1980s and early 90s and who typically made books in very small editions of around two-hundred.With the inscription of Walter Brew July 1985 to the head of the title page. In the publisher's original paper wraps. Fading to back strip with one spot towards fore edge of front wrap. Otherwise externally excellent. Internally firmly bound. Inscription to half title.
