‎Statue of the Nile God.‎

‎c.1880. . Albumen print. Very good tonal range and in good condition pasted on original mount. Dimensions: 135 x 230mm. 5.25 x 9 inches.<br /> A nineteenth-century albumen print of the statue of the Nile God discovered in 1513 in Campo Marzio and displayed thereafter in the Vatican Museums.<br /><br />The Nile is portrayed as a venerable old man reclining sinuously on his side with a cornucopia of fruit in his left arm and ears of wheat in his right hand. Egypt is represented by the presence of a sphinx on which the figure of the Nile supports himself and by some exotic animals. The scene is enlivened by sixteen children who allude to the sixteen cubits of water by which the Nile rises for its annual flood. The base of the statue is decorated with a Nile landscape incorporating familiar images of pygmies hippopotamuses and crocodiles seen throughout Romano-Egyptian art. The sculpture was probably inspired by a monumental statue of the Nile in black basalt a masterpiece of Hellenistic Greek sculpture described by Pliny the Elder as being within the Forum of Peace.<br /> [c.1880]. unknown‎

‎The Advantages of Saccharin in the Manufacture of Aerated Waters, Cordials, &c‎

‎London Wilson, Salamon, & Co., Ltd 1894‎

‎Scarce reprint (improved and revised 10th edition) of the original business pamphlet had become necessary as, within three years of the original, the contents were viewed more as a practical text book than a promotional item. At the time, saccharin was considered be a good inclusion, as - to quote this booklet - it never creates acidity or heartburn, and is, in these respects, far healthier than sugar! Blue soft covers are a little creased at edges, and inside the staples holding the booklet together are somewhat rusted. Overall good. 48 pages. 210 x 135 mm (8Œ x 5Œ inches).‎

‎The Burial of Marie-Adrienne Chameroy.‎

‎Paris: N/P 1802. An attractive hand coloured lithograph undated but 1802. Two panels on one sheet laid onto a brown card backing sheet. The hand colouring is of a high quality and the sheet is in good clean condition. Although the artist is unknown "Les Musées de la Ville de Paris" state that this is from an album called simply "Caricature" and that it was sheet XIX The two panels show the burial of the actress and dancer Marie-Adrienne Chameroy. She had died of consumption in 1802 six months after the resumption of worship being permitted at the age of 23. When her large entourage and coffin arrived at St Roch church the doors were barred shown here with a man and dog barring the way in the first panel. The nature of the crowd attending is displayed in the buxom nature of the women in the funeral train. Allegedly the refusal to bury her was based on the morality of her life and a long standing tradition of barring actresses from church. The act caused much upset even to the level of Napoleon himself. The procession then made its way to the church of the "Filles Saint Thomas" where mass was duly said. The panels are 22cm x 17cm. and the sheet is 31cm x 215cm. First edition. Paris Musées inventory G.27615. British Museum 18560712.663 second panel only. . Une jolie lithographie coloriée à la main non datée mais datant de 1802. Deux panneaux sur une feuille posés sur une feuille de support en carton brun. Le coloriage à la main est d'une grande qualité et la feuille est en bon état. Bien que l'artiste soit inconnu "Les Musées de la Ville de Paris" indiquent que cette feuille provient d'un album intitulé simplement "Caricature" et qu'il s'agit de la feuille XIX. Les deux panneaux montrent l'enterrement de l'actrice et danseuse Marie-Adrienne Chameroy. Elle était morte de consomption en 1802 six mois après la reprise du culte à l'âge de 23 ans. Lorsque son entourage et son cercueil sont arrivés à l'église Saint-Roch les portes ont été barrées comme le montre le premier panneau avec un homme et un chien qui barrent le passage. La nature de la foule présente est illustrée par les femmes plantureuses du train funéraire. Le refus de l'enterrer aurait été motivé par la moralité de sa vie et par une longue tradition qui voulait que les actrices ne soient pas admises à l'église. Cet acte a suscité beaucoup d'émoi jusqu'à Napoléon lui-même. Le cortège s'est ensuite rendu à l'église des "Filles Saint Thomas" où une messe a été dite en bonne et due forme. Les panneaux mesurent 22 cm x 17 cm et la feuille 31 cm x 215 cm. Première édition. Paris Musées inventaire G.27615. British Museum 18560712.663 deuxième panneau seulement. N/P unknown‎

‎Trubner & Co. 1860. 8vo. Second Edition with an engraved frontispiece illustrated title in red and black 6 fine wood-engraved plates FINELY COLOURED BY HAND and 26 engraved illustrations in the text wanting front free endpaper frontispiece and title lightly spotted; original pictorial red coarse-grain cloth upper board elaborately blocked with multiple frame border in gilt and blind enclosing jester and title all in gilt gilt back gilt edges bevelled boards yellow endpapers covers moderately age-soiled corners scuffed joints somewhat rubbed with one short tear gathering cracked at F6-7 but binding wholly sound else a firm tight copy. With Westley's binder's ticket on rear paste-down. Mackenzie's version of the German mediaeval classic was first published in 1860 as a Christmas volume but stocks were swiftly exhausted and a second edition prepared to meet continuing demand. Mackenzie produced a lengthy additional preface to this second edition attributing the success of the venture partly to 'the generous and unanimous verdict of the press' but also surely to the wonderful illustrations by 'Alfred Crowquill' A.H. Forrester. Many would-be Christmas readers must have been disappointed for Mazkenzie dates his preface Christmas Eve but scholars of mediaeval romance and fantasy will find this a most useful edition replete with extensive historical preface and bibliographical and other scholarly appendices.
