‎COLOR PRINTING 18TH CENTURY. FLORIAN JEAN PIERRE CLARIS DE‎

‎GALAT�E ROMAN PASTORAL; IMIT� DE CERVANTES . . . �DITION ORN�E DE FIGURES EN COULEURS D'APR�S LES DESSINS DE M. MONSIAU‎

‎Paris: Defer de Maisonneuve 1793. First Edition with these Illustrations. 333 x 247 mm. 13 x 9 3/4". 125 pp. First Edition with these Illustrations. Pleasing contemporary black half roan over black paper boards smooth spine gilt in panels with vase or patera centerpiece. Original somewhat worn but solid board slipcase. FOUR FINE STIPPLE-ENGRAVED PLATES by Colibert and Cazenave after Monsiau PRINTED IN COLORS original tissue guards. Front pastedown with ex-libris of Jean Furstenberg. Cohen-de Ricci 400; Furstenberg 122; Lewine p. 188; Maggs 1930 Catalogue of French Illustrated Books 84; Ray p. 145. Corners a little bumped a few hardly noticeable blemishes on covers but the binding not just solid but with only trivial wear. A breath of foxing here and there but extremely fresh and clean internally with vast margins. AN EXTREMELY FINE CONTEMPORARY COPY. This edition of Florian's pastoral romance in imitation of Cervantes is one of the grander French books to be printed in colors when the vogue for such productions took hold during the last years of the 18th century. Ours is one of six such books all printed after 1786 that Ray singles out for praise as "handsome and imposing volumes." A noted painter of both classical and modern subjects Monsiau 1754-1837 was also an illustrator whose "abundant and interesting work in this line" is underrated even though it has the merits of being simple natural lively and piquant. Ray Monsiau's obscurity says Ray may be owing to the fact that he most often worked as a secondary collaborator on major illustrated works; the present book is one of the few he did on his own and it is among his best. Publisher Defer de Maisonneuve did not develop the technique of stipple engraving on copper plates but he did perfect the process which allowed for gradual tonal changes in hues and intensities of color rather than the "stained glass" effect of separately printed patches of color. The Maggs catalogue states that this work is very rarely found in a full binding "as it appeared at a troubled time when purchasers refrained from having books bound expensively. Normally copies are found in boards or at the best in half-bindings." Our copy has the engraver's name just visible beneath the plates so perhaps it does not qualify as "avant la lettre" but it is obviously printed on thick luxury paper and with extremely ample margins. The volume comes from the renowned library of Jean or Hans Furstenberg who wrote several books on 18th-century French book illustration. Defer de Maisonneuve unknown‎

‎AN 18TH CENTURY ILLUMINATED VELLUM MANUSCRIPT ENTITLED‎

‎OFFICIUM SACERDOTOTIS HEBDOMADARII AD USUM CARTUSIAE VALLISCLUSAE‎

‎France Provence 1711. 292 x 197 mm. 11 1/2 x 7 3/4". 14 p.l. 122 pp. Single column 20 lines of text in a very attractive mix of neat roman and italic hands. Excellent contemporary black morocco covers with two double-ruled gilt frames and fleuron cornerpieces raised bands spine gilt in compartments with large central complex fleuron and scrolling cornerpieces densely gilt turn-ins special gilt-flecked glazed endpapers all edges gilt. Rubrics and headings in red a number of pleasing two-line initials in red title page with hand-painted headpiece containing a medallion showing the dove of the Holy Spirit flying in a sunny sky this vignette flanked by an olive branch and a ribbon bearing the motto "Virtute Probatur" "The Proven Power" and with a pair of crossed quill pens bound by a ribbon above the scribe's name; four other headpieces and two tailpieces all in floral foliate and ribbon designs. Leather with general minor wear a couple of noticeable abrasions to upper board but the binding entirely sound very well preserved overall and not without appeal. Vellum a bit rumpled causing the boards to splay a bit as usual naturally occurring variations in the color of the vellum occasional minor dust soiling to head edge a couple of small additional insignificant imperfections otherwise a fine example the leaves clean and fresh and the appealing script intact and unfaded. This is an attractive specimen of an early 18th century Carthusian liturgical manuscript with important monastic origins. The volume begins with a dedication to the prior of the charterhouse as Carthusian monasteries are called and continues with a Calendar showing saints days and major festivals. The text provides the Propers and prayers which change from day to day for feast and non-feast days as well as the unchanging Common of Saints and prayers for the departed. The manuscript is signed under the title by the scribe Carthusian priest Bernardus Suzan Albaniensis which makes it clear that this item came from Chartreuse pontificale du Val-de-B�n�diction at Villeneuve-l�s-Avignon Vaucluse one of the greatest charterhouses of Europe. Founded in 1358 by Pope Innocent VII in what had been his palace as Cardinal Etienne Aubert the Chartreuse pontificale du Val-de-B�n�diction enjoyed both papal and royal patronage and expanded over time to become the wealthiest charterhouse in France. Our manuscript was produced at the height of the monastery's influence and power: in the late 17th and 18th century the charterhouse had approximately 40 priests 30 lay brothers and an equal number of servants and laborers who tended the extensive vineyards and farmland. It prospered until the French Revolution dissolved all the religious houses in 1790. Suzan like other Carthusian monks would have lived as a hermit within a community housed in his own private cell with a work area taking all but one meal a week alone. His manuscript would have been written within this cell rather than in a communal scriptorium. The final line of the title page reads "Iuxta impressum Prisiis. apud Joannem Dupuis" which suggests that the manuscript is a verbatim copy of a printed work although OCLC seems not to locate a work or publisher with precisely this name. The fact that the manuscript was made at all--on a superior writing surface at the cost of many hours and many sheep--implies that someone of importance and considerable means wanted a luxurious version of a text that must have been readily available in printed form on paper. The title of the work "The Service of the Priest of the Week according to the use of the Carthusians of Vaucluse" indicates that the monks took turns leading the daily offices and Mass. Suzan's script is beautifully spaced and carefully written providing us with an aesthetically pleasing experience as well as a direct link to monastic life three centuries ago. unknown‎

‎HUMOR 18TH CENTURY. MORRIS CORBYN‎

‎AN ESSAY TOWARDS FIXING THE TRUE STANDARDS OF WIT HUMOUR RAILLERY SATIRE AND RIDICULE‎

‎London: Printed for J. Roberts and W. Bickerton 1744. FIRST EDITION. 206 x 133 mm. 8 1/8 x 5 1/4". xxxiv 2 errata ads xxxii 75 1 pp. FIRST EDITION. Contemporary sprinkled calf covers bordered with double gilt fillet raised bands flanked by gilt rules original brown morocco label. Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of "R E H D" engraved by and signed in the plate by G. W. Eve see below. Joints spine and extremities a bit chafed and dried though much of this successfully masked by refurbishing covers a bit scratched and with three patches of lost patina from insect acitivity one upper corner rather bumped but the original unrestored rustic binding solid and pleasing with no serious defect. One leaf with three-inch tear into the text neatly repaired without loss of legibility though with slight displacement of letters otherwise only trivial imperfections internally THE TEXT REMARKABLY FRESH AND CLEAN and printed within quite ample margins. This is a not surprisingly amusing attempt to differentiate between wit humor raillery satire and ridicule written surprisingly by an economist and customs inspector. The author begins by defining wit as "the Lustre resulting from the quick Elucidation of one Subject by a just and unexpected Arrangement of it with another Subject." Morris differentiates humor from wit describing the former as "any remarkable Oddity or Foible belonging to a Person in real Life" and acknowledges it gives more delight and pleasure than wit. His example here is Falstaff the embodiment of "Jollity Mirth and Good-nature." Our volume ends with a letter on humor in comedy by that master of the Restoration comedy of manners William Congreve. Corbyn Morris 1710-79 had previously written a series of pamphlets defending the policies of Prime Minister Robert Walpole and the present work opens with a 34-page dedication to that politician which the normally forgiving DNB deems "extravagant . . . even by contemporary standards." Morris once told David Hume that he wrote "all his books for the sake of the Dedications" and these seemed to be successful instruments in advancing his career as he was appointed secretary of customs and salt duty for Scotland before subsequently being appointed to the English board of customs. Our copy bears the bookplate of Anglican clergyman and antiquary Rashleigh Edward Hungerford Duke 1855-1932 engraved by G. W. Eve one of the foremost bookplate designers of the day. Printed for J. Roberts, and W. Bickerton unknown‎

‎A FETE BOOK FOR AN 18TH CENTURY ITALIAN WEDDING‎

‎POESIE PER LE FELICISSIME NOZZE DEL NOBILE SIGNOR CONTE LODOVICO TIENE CON LA NOBILE SIGNORA CONTESSA ATALANTA PIOVENE‎

‎Vicenza: per Gio. Battista Vendramini Mosca 1774. FIRST EDITION. 305 x 216 mm. 12 x 8 1/2". lxxvi pp. FIRST EDITION. Original paste paper boards covered in red and green block-printed patterned paper. In a modern red cloth folding box. Frontispiece engraving of the arms of bride and groom engraved allegorical vignettes on title page and at end woodcut head- and tailpieces and foliated initials all done with considerable charm. Spine and head edge just slightly faded a couple of very small snags in backstrip one page with mild thumbing but A SUPERB COPY EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN FRESH AND BRIGHT both the text and original printed paper wrappers in an almost unbelievable state of preservation. This is a remarkably well-preserved Italian "wedding book" a souvenir produced for friends and guests of a noble bride and groom. It contains a collection of romantic poems by 28 different authors along with engravings of the newlyweds' arms. This kind of book was popular in Italy particularly in the north during the second half of the 18th and early part of the 19th centuries. Such occasional works were produced by printers in the major cities like Venice Vicenza Padua Trento and Milan for assorted noble patrons. Copies of these f�te books are to be found today in Italian and Swiss libraries but only two copies of any such volumes are held in North America one by the New York Public Library and one by the Getty. KVK locates four copies of our work one of them damaged in three Italian libraries. The groom here Count Lodovico Tiene or Thiene was a scion of one of Vicenza's most important families. His ancestor also named Lodovico built the Palazzo Thiene that was memorably remodelled by Vicenza's most famous son Andrea Palladio. Our volume was obviously a treasured keepsake that was carefully stored away from light and dust and it looks amazingly like it must have on the day of the happy nuptials. per Gio.

‎Amsterdam: E. J. v. Wisselingh & Co 1927. Presumably the FIRST EDITION. 305 x 241 mm. 12 x 9 1/2". 167 pp. Presumably the FIRST EDITION. FINE MOTTLED CALF HANDSOMELY GILT covers with gilt fillet border and central panel formed by four gilt rules and including arborescent cornerpieces raised bands richly gilt spine with six compartments featuring a large stylized tree centerpiece and foliate cornerpieces two morocco labels crimson and dark green embossed turn-ins marbled endpapers top edge gilt other edges rough trimmed. Color portrait frontispiece and 161 plates on coated stock printed back-to-back. Text in Dutch and English. Two pages with quite minor staining in fore margin otherwise a very fine copy in a handsome binding. This is a well-presented and very attractively bound "Catalogue Raisonn�" showing four decades of the work of the Dutch etcher extraordinaire Marius Alexander Jacques Bauer 1867-1932. After studying at the arts academy in The Hague Bauer visited Dutch colonial Indonesia in 1925 and 1931 taking part there in exhibitions at Batavia and other principal cities. His work was chosen for the International Colonial Exhibition held in Paris in 1931. His etchings can typically be identified by their extremely dense accumulation of fine lines and he is one of the very few artists from The Netherlands whose work includes subjects drawn from colonial Dutch localities.

‎Fahrney Peter‎

‎MEDICAL MANUSCRIPT ACCOUNT BOOK Ledger - Dr. Peter Fahrney‎

‎Hardcover. Tan smooth calf morocco boards. Good in custom matching slipcase good. 37 x 17 cm. 119 linen-backed leaves of manuscript notations and paste down documents. Peter Fahrney 1840-1905 president and founder of Fahrney & Sons Co. was born in Maryland to a family of herbal practitioners. His grandfather known as Ole Dr. Peter Fahrney was well known in the Boonsboro area of Maryland and his office has been preserved to this day. Peter Fahrney grew up in Pennsylvania and attended Jefferson Medical College and the Philadelphia School of Pharmacy. He began practicing medicine in Pennsylvania in 1861 at the age of twenty-one. During the Civil War Fahrney left Pennsylvania and moved to Chicago. His practice grew from general practice to the manufacturing of natural remedies which were sold nationwide. His factory burned down in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 but he was back in business within days. The Fahrney & Sons Company and his uncle Daniel manufactured similar products under Dr. Daniel Fahrney & Son. The ledger is most likely Fahrney's first: it begins in his first year of practice and in addition to patient accounting records includes costs of building his office digging the foundation laboratory supplies etc. An original order form for Dr. Fahrney's blood vitalizer is included. Many patients are listed. Included in the front of the ledger and stapled to the frond endpaper are three notarized statements authenticating the ledger. The first is by Edward J. Ryan of Cook County Illinois a former employee of Dr. Fahrney swearing to the authenticity of the ledger and confirming the handwriting found within is that of the doctor. A statement of John E. Burget confirms the validity of 21 of the persons named in the ledger with notes added: John W. Brumbaugh - My Grandfather; George W. Brumbaugh - My Mother's Uncle; John Dilling - Farmer; Dr. John Wengert - Drugs; Samuel Grabill - Merchant; David Wineland - Black smith; J.C. Sanders - Druggist; Daniel M. Holsinger - Minister; and several more. An affidavit of Christie Meyers a former patient and friend of the doctor confirms that Fahrney had a practice in Fredericksburg PA. Bound in custom later smooth calf morrocco boards gilt-lettered spine with raised spine bands with a custom matching slipcase lightly rubbed. Pages are tanned with dampstaining and spotting throughout. <br /><br /> hardcover‎

‎London Hospital Maitland William. 18th century‎

‎The Charter House Hospital" London. / Hand Coloured Architectural Birds Eye View of The Charter House Hospital London‎

‎1750. London for "The History and Survey of London from its Foundation to the Present Time." c. 1750. Handcoloured Copper Engraving. Beautifully Framed. Size of frame with engraving: 43.5 cm x 33.5 cm. Size of the actual engraving: 36 cm x 24 cm. Frame with some minor signs of wear rubbing to the frame with some discoloration. The engraving in excellent conditon with only faint signs of a former fold to upper left corner. The London Charterhouse is a historic complex of buildings in Smithfield London dating back to the 14th century. It occupies land to the north of Charterhouse Square. The Charterhouse began as and takes its name from a Carthusian priory founded in 1371 and dissolved in 1537. Substantial fragments remain from this monastic period but the site was largely rebuilt after 1545 as a large courtyard house. Thus today it "conveys a vivid impression of the type of large rambling 16th century mansion that once existed all round London". The Charterhouse was further altered and extended after 1611 when it became an almshouse and school endowed by Thomas Sutton. The almshouse a home for gentlemen pensioners still occupies the site today under the name Sutton's Hospital in Charterhouse. Wikipedia unknown‎
