One letter is written from a bookseller addressed to his colleagues on earth in which he discusses hell's booktrade." OCLC locates in all about 18 copies but doubtless there are more.

médiamque minervam
London: Baldwyn & Co. Newgate Street 1819. First edition. Contemporary hand colouring. Satirical depiction of a man on a chair reading in front of the fireplace. On the table beside him on the mantel and scattered on the floor are books. Those scattered are important and educational such as Newton and other scientific treatise. We have seen archival references that this print is known as "The Half-Wit. wasting his time on a poor choice of reading material." The implication is that he is wasting his time in his reading material. Below the title is printed "Luctantar paucae comedunt coliphia paucae." This is a paraphrase of a line in Juvenal's satires which means few fight and few reap the reward. Presumably a comment on the importance of learning. We can find no other copiesof this item currently for sale. The sheet has been pasted onto a backing board and at some point in a frame. The edges are slightly nicked where removed from the frame. The sheet is mainly clean but the page a little darkened. Image is 15cm x 13cm. Sheet is 27cm x 21cm. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 701901036. The only library holding is in the Yale University Lewis Walpole Library. . Première édition. Coloriage à la main contemporain. Représentation satirique d'un homme sur une chaise lisant devant la cheminée. Des livres sont posés sur la table à côté de lui sur la cheminée et éparpillés sur le sol. Ceux qui sont éparpillés sont importants et éducatifs comme Newton et d'autres traités scientifiques. Nous avons vu dans les archives que cette gravure est connue sous le nom de "The Half-Wit le demi-esprit. qui perd son temps avec un mauvais choix de lecture". L'implication est qu'il perd son temps dans ses lectures. Sous le titre on peut lire "Luctantar paucae comedunt coliphia paucae". Il s'agit d'une paraphrase d'un vers des satires de Juvénal qui signifie que peu de gens se battent et peu de gens récoltent la récompense. Il s'agit probablement d'un commentaire sur l'importance de l'apprentissage. Nous n'avons pas trouvé d'autres exemplaires de cet objet actuellement en vente. La feuille a été collée sur un support et à un moment donné placée dans un cadre. Les bords sont légèrement entaillés lorsqu'ils ont été retirés du cadre. La feuille est en grande partie propre mais la page est légèrement assombrie. L'image mesure 15 cm x 13 cm. La feuille mesure 27 cm x 21 cm. Conforme à WorldCat / OCLC : 701901036.

Bien qu'elles ne soient pas intitulées la première représente vraisemblablement le bon docteur et la seconde le mémorial qui lui est dédié. L'ouvrage est en bon état propre. Quelques taches de rousseur sur la couverture. Une liste des souscripteurs figure à la fin. L'auteur tout en écrivant avec affection sur le docteur n'hésite pas à critiquer la nouvelle république de 1848 et le coup d'État qui a suivi peu après. Couverture en papier vert pâle avec une étiquette de bibliothèque privée sur la couverture avant. 18 cm x 115 cm. Conforme à WorldCat / OCLC : 460553860 qui indique que seule la BnF en possède un exemplaire. Aucun exemplaire à vendre au moment du catalogage. Le Dr Malewicz est né à Wolkowysk en Pologne en 1808. Après avoir combattu dans les guerres polonaises en Lituanie il s'est réfugié en France en 1834. Il a commencé à exercer la médecine et a continué à le faire jusqu'à sa mort quarante ans plus tard. Étiquette de la bibliothèque du fonds Bergevin en haut de la couverture. La collection tire son nom des deux figures de proue de la famille Bergevin Louis-Athanase Bergevin 1753-1832 et son fils Louis-Catherine 1798-1876 magistrats à Blois et grands propriétaires terriens à Saint-Gervais-la-Forêt.

Original Water Colour of a Geisha holding a Shamisen
Japan: NP 1775. A lovely large water colour showing a woman in traditional geisha clothing holding a Shamisen. Painted onto thin mustard coloured paper this has been laid onto a cream backing sheet also thin paper which has in turn been laid onto a larger sheet of thin paper. The three sheets together giving much more strength than a single thin sheet. The painting itself has been expertly produced but is unsigned. We have priced this as an un-attributable artist. The painting has some small cracks with creasing and a tiny amount of paint loss to it but still a lovely authentic piece of Edo art very similar in style to the portraiture of Katsushika Hokusai even to the background colour of the sheet. It is of a very similar period between 1775 and 1800. The style of the painting including the detailed depiction of clothing patterns and the graceful posture of the figure is characteristic of bijin-ga paintings of beautiful women which were popular in Japanese art during this time. The use of vibrant colors such as deep blue and red and intricate patterns suggests that this piece may have been created by an artist influenced by ukiyo-e a genre of woodblock prints and paintings that flourished during the Edo period. Artists like Kitagawa Utamaro or Suzuki Harunobu were renowned for similar depictions of women in elegant attire.It was possibly intended as a scroll painting. The painted sheet measures 70cm x 24cm. The largest backing sheet and hence work overall measures 81.5cm x 39cm. The shamisen 三味線 also known as sangen 三絃 or samisen all meaning "three strings" is a three-stringed traditional Japanese musical instrument derived from the Chinese instrument sanxian. Geisha's were often skilled Shamisen players and used them to entertain their customers. . Une belle grande aquarelle représentant une femme en tenue traditionnelle de geisha tenant un shamisen Peinte sur un papier fin de couleur moutarde celui-ci a été posé sur une feuille de support crème également en papier fin elle-même posée sur une feuille plus grande de papier fin. Les trois feuilles réunies donnent beaucoup plus de solidité qu'une seule feuille mince. La peinture elle-même a été réalisée par des experts mais elle n'est pas signée. Nous avons fixé le prix comme étant celui d'un artiste non attribuable. La peinture présente quelques petites fissures des plis et une minuscule perte de peinture mais il s'agit toujours d'une belle et authentique œuvre d'art Edo dont le style est très similaire à celui des portraits de Katsushika Hokusai jusqu'à la couleur de fond de la feuille. Elle date d'une période très similaire entre 1775 et 1800. Le style de la peinture y compris la représentation détaillée des motifs des vêtements et la posture gracieuse du personnage est caractéristique des bijin-ga peintures de belles femmes qui étaient populaires dans l'art japonais à cette époque. L'utilisation de couleurs vives comme le bleu profond et le rouge et de motifs complexes suggère que cette pièce a pu être créée par un artiste influencé par l'ukiyo-e un genre d'estampes et de peintures sur bois qui a fleuri pendant la période Edo. Des artistes comme Kitagawa Utamaro ou Suzuki Harunobu étaient réputés pour leurs représentations similaires de femmes en tenue élégante. La feuille peinte mesure 70 cm x 24 cm. La plus grande feuille de support et donc l'ensemble de l'œuvre mesure 815 cm x 39 cm. Le shamisen 三味線 également connu sous le nom de sangen 三絃 ou samisen tous signifiant "trois cordes" est un instrument de musique traditionnel japonais à trois cordes dérivé de l'instrument chinois sanxian. Les geishas étaient souvent d'habiles joueuses de samisen qu'elles utilisaient pour divertir leurs clients. NP hardcover

Original Watercolour: View from Castle at Richmond of the River Swale North Yorkshire
1876. Lovely original watercolour painting of the view across the River Swale in North Yorkshire from Richmond Castle Hill - with a couple in the foreground. The painting is signed but we cannot agree and the signature. At some point a previous owner was told it was a painting of the river at Richmond Castle and assumed it was Richmond in Surrey when in fact Richmond Castle is in Richmond in Yorkshire and looks over the River Swale not the Thames! Tipped on to white card corners cut to resemble being in an album. Watercolour measures: 205 x 350 mm 8 x 13¾ inches. Whole on backing: 400 x 495 mm unknown

Our Big Book. Dick and Jane
<p>Chicago Atlanta Dallas and New York: Scott Foresman and Company ca. 1920s–1930s. 2 39 1 pp. Bound by two large rings along top. One sheet with small crayoned area all cloth reinforcement strips very rubbed; scattered stains and toning; overall very good.</p> <p>Rare. Our Big Book is catalogued by Princeton as a Dick and Jane precursor; a series of wall charts issued ca. 1920. The stories are displayed in strong colors across twenty-one large sheets each 30 x 22 inches. They feature the soon-to-be ubiquitous Dick and Jane Baby Spot and Little Mew later Puff.</p> <p>The Dick and Jane primers had a landmark impact upon the millions of children that were taught to read by using the look-and-say method. In the classroom setting Our Big Book would have educated that very first wave of American children to “See Spot run†and to learn a host of other catchphrases —phrases now engrained burned into the subconscious minds of literate Americans everywhere.</p> <p>Outside of Princeton’s copy we find only one other example in the Osborne Collection. They date the text to the 1930s. Not to be confused with much later common and smaller Dick and Jane charts/posters.</p> unknown

Paying the Southern War Claims caption title
<p>America. np.1876. 12¼ by 9½ inches. Tanning; minor staining and margin wear; very good.</p> <p>This rare anonymous broadside from 1876 attacks Governor Samuel J. Tilden the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate by citing excerpts from Southern newspapers in Alabama Georgia and Virginia.</p> <p>Popular argument at the time stated if the Democrats should come into power that they would spend two billion dollars in Southern war claims which would ruin the credit of the United States abroad. </p> <p>Northern voters would likely be outraged by the broadside’s illustration which shows a Missouri governor’s scrip for thirty-five dollars payable to one Woodford M. Paris for losses attributed to “the cotton tax damages to land and property during the war the emancipation of slaves†among other claims.</p> <p>The 1876 presidential election was highly contentious. Although Tilden won the popular vote he ultimately lost to Rutherford B. Hayes in the electoral college. The Hayes-Tilden Compromise led to the removal of federal troops from the South diminishing the hopes of African Americans in their struggle for civil rights and equality. The Reconstruction Era came to a close.</p> unknown
