Manuel, Blaise Etienne and Francois Dufart (Jacques-Eustache Deseve et al, illustrators)
Nouveau museum d'histoire naturelle; ou representation fidelle des etres les plus remarquables compris dans les trois regnes de la nature en figures coloriees sur planche. Tome premier. Regne animal.--Classe des quadrupedes vivipares ou mammifer
Paris: Dufart 1806. ALL PUBLISHED of this abortive yet spectacular attempt at a comprehensive survey of natural history THE FIRST BOOK ON ZOOLOGY WITH COLOR-PRINTED as opposed to hand-colored PLATES. Comprises a general preface describing the entire project by Dufart an introduction to this volume by Manuel 101 GORGEOUS FULL-PAGE COLOR-PRINTED STIPPLE-ENGRAVED PLATES OF MAMMALS IN EXOTIC LANDSCAPES usually two scenes per plate after Deseve and other artists and descriptive notes on each mammal depicted by Manuel. 30 pp. 101 plates 60 pp. Dedicated to Napoleon. Text printed on fine wove paper plates on very fine thick wove paper. After the appearance of this volume the project was suspended because the publishers could not find enough subscribers there is a list of the 24 who subscribed to this first volume on the back of the half-title. The reasons for this failure are obvious: each volume cost a staggering 60 francs not including the binding and the images of the animals although bright beautiful and charming are not particularly accurate. Large thick 8vo. BOUND IN CONTEMPORARY FULL CRIMSON MOROCCO WITH ELEGANT GILT DECORATION ON COVERS AND SPINE. All edges gilt. Light wear to extremities of binding but still very attractive. Internally bright. Two copies in NUC. Quérard La France littéraire V 497 doubts the very existence of this work: ".ne paraît avoir été que projeté car on n'en trouve mention nulle autre part que dans le vol. de M. Debray." An extremely rare unusual and altogether stunning book. <br/><br/> Paris: Dufart, 1806 unknown

TERTIARY HISTORY OF THE GRAND CANON DISTRICT. with: ATLAS TO ACCOMPANY THE MONOGRAPH ON THE TERTIARY HISTORY OF THE GRAND CAÑON DISTRICT
Washington: text: Government Printing Office; atlas: Julius Bien & Co. of New York for the Government Printing Office 1882. Quarto text volume with folio atlas. Text: 1p. advertisement series title title as above. Forty-two plates maps and charts including two chromolithographed views by Sinclair after Holmes seventeen wood- engraved views eight after Thomas Moran nine after Holmes four "Heliotype" plates ten double-page. Atlas: Mounted on guards throughout. 1p. letterpress text otherwise lithographed throughout. Title-leaf twelve double-page map-sheets after Dutton eleven printed in colors ten double-page sheets of views after Holmes 9 and Moran 1 five chromolithographed and five printed in tints all printed by Julius Bien & Co. Text: Original cloth neatly rebacked to style. Minor shelf wear. Atlas: Original cloth titled in gilt on front board. A bit of shelf wear corners bumped. Ink stamp on titlepage. Text and atlas both very clean internally. A very good set. "One of the grandest publications of the scientific expeditions in the American West.depicting the Grand Canyon in a series of magnificent panoramas" - CREATING AMERICA. The work includes illustrations by arguably the two greatest American topographical artists to record this era of westward expansion: William Holmes and Thomas Moran. The handsomely illustrated text volume was intended to accompany Dutton's impressive atlas of maps and panoramas of the Grand Canyon. Many of the plates in the text volume are from drawings by W.H. Holmes. <br> <br> The atlas includes eight beautifully executed maps of the region on twelve sheets as well as the ten sheets of views. The views include a number of images that are designed to form larger continuous panoramas. The greatest of these is Holmes' view from Point Sublime in the Kaibab: the three chromolithographed sheets numbered XVI- XVII if joined would form a single panoramic view with an image area measuring approximately 17 x 90 inches. It is interesting to note that the first of these sheets includes what may be a self-portrait and portrait respectively of Holmes and Dutton: two figures are visible at the edge of the canyon one is seated and clearly sketching Holmes while the second figure bends down to examine his companion's work Dutton. William Goetzmann calls W.H. Holmes "the greatest artist-topographer and man of many talents that the West ever produced.his artistic technique was like no other's. He could sketch panoramas of twisted mountain ranges sloping monoclines escarpments plateaus canyons fault blocks and grassy meadows that accurately depicted hundreds of miles of terrain. They were better than maps and better than photographs because he could get details of stratigraphy that light and shadow obscured from the camera.his illustrations for Dutton's TERTIARY HISTORY OF THE GRAND CANON DISTRICT are masterpieces of realism and draftsmanship as well as feats of imaginative observation." <br> <br> The team assembled to carry out this geological survey of the Grand Canyon included some outstanding talents: C.E. Dutton the scientist; Jack Hilliers the photographer; and Holmes and Moran as artist- topographers. The intention of the survey was strictly scientific but as Dutton wrote in his preface "I have in many places departed from the severe ascetic style which has become conventional in scientific monographs." This is also true of Moran and Holmes: both were clearly inspired by their subjects. The overall result is of a quality that would not be possible today. As Wallace Stegner wrote in his introduction to the 1977 reprint: <br> <br> "Later specialization has eliminated from scientific publications most of the elements that make THE TERTIARY HISTORY so charming. No report written as this one is written would now be published by any government bureau. No illustrators like Moran and Holmes would be permitted to illustrate it.A great book.THE TERTIARY HISTORY has kept its value precisely because it does not specialize."

Condition: Rubbing along the joints on the cover with a touch of rawness in the very upper reach of the front hinge but overall a highly attractive three quarter red morocco binding with raised bands gilt lettering and ruled and dotted decoration on the spine. Scattered light soiling within and the typical quotient of offsetting but mostly clean. The Cruikshank Waterloo plate has smudgy margins but a good amount of this can be removed with a simple eraser if one wishes to make the effort -- we did test this. The large folding map has fold tears with one irregularly bordered tear. The whole map we would note is present. Henry Colburn unknown

Seeing a group of water sprites she pointed them out to her companion. The latter thinking this was a game of make believe responded with her own creative inventions. Flower realizing she saw a world that didn't exist for others was shocked into silence for many years.In 1924 Newhouse along with her mother and sister moved to Los Angeles where she soon became a guest speaker at a number of churches and lecture halls. Word soon spread of her unique gifts and her convincing sincerity as a speaker. Before long she was traveling regularly to Santa Barbara and San Francisco and much of Southern California. It was on one of these lecture engagements that she met her future husband Lawrence Newhouse. In 1940 Flower and Lawrence founded Questhaven Retreat and the Christward Ministry which she bequeathed to the Lord Christ forever. Here she wrote and lectured extensively on the Kingdom of Angels and the Wisdom Teachings that underlie "living the Life" and following the "Way'."--Wikipedia ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> Escondido, CA : Christward Publications, 1955. hardcover

ANIMAL FARM IN POLISH SAMIZDAT Folwark zwierzęcy: opracowali i narysowali Maciek Bialy Karol Blue Animal farm: adapted and illustrated by Maciek Bialy and Karol Blue
Warsaw: Rekontra 1985. Small quarto 27 × 21 cm. Original staple-stitched pictorial wrappers with a large drawing printed in green and black; 44 pp. of offset-reproduced drawn comics to rectos and versos. Very good save for minor toning especially to rear wrapper. First edition of this samizdat comic book edition in Polish of George Orwell's Animal Farm published by a small underground publishing house in Warsaw. Maciek Bialy and Karol Blue were the pseudonyms of Robert Śnieciński and Fernando Molina. Orwell's political satire of the Soviet establishment was naturally banned in all Soviet bloc nations but was tremendously popular with the Polish independent semi-clandestine publishing houses which flourished in Poland starting in the mid-1970s. Polish underground publications are scarce outside of Poland. <br /> <br /> As of February 2026 KVK and OCLC show six copies in North America. unknown
