Franz von Sickingen. (Ritratto a mezzo busto, di profilo verso sinistra, in fastoso abito di foggia rinascimentale, con ampio bavero di pelliccia, dentro ovale).
Triest, Verlag der Kunst Anstalt des Oestr. Lloyd. Incisione in acciaio (mm. 120 x 150 + ampi margini) di P. Wurster, (c. 1850). Ritrae l'uomo d'arme tedesco Franz von Sickingen (1481-1523), incrocio fra cavaliere e masnadiero, al soldo prima dell'imperatore Massimiliano, poi per conto proprio. Sodale di Ulrich von Hutten, offrì riparo nel suo castello di Ebernburg a molti sostenitori della Riforma, fra cui Lutero. Organizzò la "rivolta dei cavalieri" contro i principi cattolici, ma fu sconfitto e morì nell'assedio di Landstuhl.

(MILITARY BOOKS - 16TH CENTURY ENGLISH). NORDEN, JOHN
THE MIRROR OF HONOR
London: Printed by the Widow Orwin for Thomas Man 1597. FIRST EDITION. PRESENTATION COPY. 187 x 130 mm. 7 3/8 x 5 1/8". 5 p.l. 93 pp. <br/> 20th century gray paper boards. Printer's device on title page. Title page inscribed "Gyven to name inked through but perhaps "Thomas Langham" by the aucthor Jo. Norden"; tail margin of title inscribed "Constantin Adyn his booke"; 19th century ink signature of Benjamin Hynam on recto and verso of title. Front pastedown with early 20th century bookseller's description pasted on. STC 18614; ESTC S113322. ◆Boards a bit soiled but otherwise unworn minor dust-soiling or browning to head margins one quire a little browned occasional trivial smudges or tiny rust spots but an excellent copy generally clean and fresh.<br/> <br/> Written during a fallow period in the author's regular career as a cartographer this work emphasizing the importance of service to God for all leaders and common soldiers in the sovereign's army was inscribed by the author to a friend or patron. One of several works Norden dedicated to the earl of Essex it got our author into professional difficulties when Essex's enemy Robert Cecil rose to power and was in a position to impede Norden's career as a mapmaker. Norden quickly tried to push responsibility onto a "false Norden" from Kent he was from Somerset but biographer Frank Kitchen has established that the shared "interests backgrounds written expression everyday circumstances and style" indicate there was but one author. Though best known for his surveys and maps--including the first county maps of England to include roads--the pious Norden ca. 1547-1625 also produced numerous works of devotion and prayer among them the enormously popular "A Pensive Mans Practice" which went to 40 editions in his lifetime. While his sincere religious sentiments are not to be doubted it must be acknowledged that Norden was most moved to write these manuals when he was between surveying jobs and short of money. Aimed at soldiers of every rank the present work urges the "necessity of the fear and service of God" and "the use of all divine virtues both in commanding and obeying practicing and proceeding in the most honorable affairs of war." Norden also encourages civilians to support and respect the military and to pray for men-at-arms. This is an especially rare work: OCLC and ESTC find five copies in U.S. libraries and except for the two copies in the Cottesloe Library there seems to have been only one other--defective--copy at auction listed by RBH and ABPC. The present item is even more desirable as an extremely uncommon presentation copy signed by a 16th century English author. The Constantin Adyn who owned our copy is likely the early seventeenth-century schoolmaster otherwise known as Constantine or Constantinus Adyn fl. 1605-25 whose school was situated in Brighton according to Church of England records. The latest owner is likely the Anglo-Russian writer bibliophile and watchmaker Benjamin Hynam 1769-1859 a prominent figure in the distinguished Hynam family imperial watchmakers to Russian royalty. In the late eighteenth century the Hynams maintained a presence in both St Petersburg and London. Printed by the Widow Orwin for Thomas Man unknown

London: Deputies of Christopher Barker 1593. FIRST EDITION. 185 x 140 mm. 7 1/4 x 5 1/2". 12 p.l. 328 327-342 pp. <br/> Contemporary limp vellum yapp edges flat spine with later red morocco label. Inside front cover with ink owner's inscription of George Wilson dated November 1 1854; front flyleaf with engraved armorial bookplate of Thomas Francis Fremantle; early pen trials to title page old mathematical calculations on rear endpaper. Cockle 57; STC 23468; ESTC S117986; Heuser Beatrice "Strategy Before Clausewitz: Linking Warfare and Statecraft 1400-1830" 2017 chapter 5: "A National Security Strategy for England: Matthew Sutcliffe the Earl of Essex and the Cadiz Expedition of 1596." ◆Vellum a bit soiled half-inch chip to head of spine two-inch crack to fore edge of front cover title page with small ink stain and light soiling other trivial imperfections in the text but still an excellent copy clean and fresh internally and in a sound binding.<br/> <br/> This rare treatise addressing all aspects of war has been cited by military historian Beatrice Heuser as perhaps a unique example of a case "in which a civilian an 'armchair strategist' published a book containing a comprehensive concept for how to conduct a war with a specific enemy that was applied in practice." According to Heuser Sutcliffe penned "a national security strategy for England" and one that Robert Devereux Earl of Essex to whom the work is dedicated put into practice in the country's ongoing conflicts with Spain leading to the operation that resulted in the successful capture of Cadiz in 1596. Sutcliffe had met Essex at Trinity College Cambridge where he had likely served as one of the young earl's tutors. DNB observes that Sutcliffe who studied law before becoming a doctor of divinity applied his legal training to this work in which he examines not only fortifications aggressive and defensive tactics and the practical considerations of recruiting paying feeding and housing armed forces but also discusses laws and regulations governing the military. Cockle notes that the work "was well known both at home and abroad" and that it "urged the importance of military studies." Following this consequential work Sutcliffe restricted his writings to theological subjects and enjoyed a 40-year career as dean of Exeter Cathedral. This work is rare in the marketplace: ABPC and RBH find just three other copies at auction in the past 40 years. Deputies of Christopher Barker unknown

The Sammie Book HANDMADE WWI CHILDREN'S BOOK
Original Handmade Copy. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. 4 1/2 X 6 1/2 Inches. 28 PP. Original circa 1918 handmade WWI children's book. Includes 26 full page plates of American soldiers in various wartime positions. Each depiction accompanied by an affixed hand-typed rhyming description on the verso. Wrapped in fringed cloth likely cut from an article of issued clothing. A "Sammie" or Sammy was the nickname given to American soldiers during WWI by their British counterparts. The name derived from the soldiers provided by good ole Uncle Sam. Each page originally bound with a strip of cloth tape which is now defunct so pages are loose. Cloth starting to pull away from rear and some fraying at edges. A very interesting book that is as much folk art as it is military antique. Original Handmade Copy hardcover

New York: Harper & Brothers 1872. First Edition First Printing. Hardcover. Very Good. 5 1/2 x 8 1/4 Inches. 408 PP. First edition with matching dated of "1872" on the title-page and copyright page.

An important work for understanding pre - World War I Europe as well as for showing how institutions can mold social values unify populations and prepare nations for conflict making it a valuable historical lens on the relationship between education nationalism and military power. Light rubbing and hint of wear at spine ends. A VERY SCARCE BOOK TO LOCATE SIGNED BY THIS CIVIL WAR OFFICER.<br /> <br /> William Babcock Hazen 1830-1887 was a disciplined and fiercely principled American Army officer whose career spanned the nation's most turbulent decades. A West Point graduate he earned distinction in the Civil War for his steady leadership under fire rising from regimental command to become one of Sherman's most reliable division leaders-most famously seizing Fort McAllister to open the way to Savannah. After the war Hazen's sharp mind and uncompromising integrity pushed him into new territory as Chief Signal Officer where he championed scientific approaches to communication and weather forecasting that laid groundwork for the modern meteorological service. Known as much for his intellectual rigor as for his battlefield grit Hazen left a legacy that blended military innovation scientific advocacy and a rare commitment to truth in an era rife with political maneuvering.
