1766. Amsterdam chez Pierre Mortier n.d. but not before 1766. Small 8vo. iv 124 ii pp. With four folding plates showing front and rear exterior views a floor plan and a view of the old city hall. With "Avertissement des editeurs sur cette nouvelle edition" on pages 125-126. Nineteenth century 3/4 brown morocco marbled boards. All edges gilt. A beautiful copy. In 1639 the Amsterdam council decided that it was time to build a new town hall. The old medieval building was beyond repair and far too small. Amsterdam wanted a new impressive building that would radiate the city's power. The architect Jacob van Campen was appointed to design the new building. He proposed a classical structure. In 1648 following the conclusion of the Treaty of M�nster the actual work started. Van Campen left the technical execution and completion of the plans to the city architect Dani�l Stalpaert. Even before it was finished in 1700 the building had become world famous: it was hailed as the eighth wonder of the world. Antwerp artist Artus Quellinus was appointed for the decorative sculpture. His carvings refer to commerce peace and 'good government'. Famous painters also contributed to the interiors among them Ferdinand Bol and Govert Flinck. Around 1700 the town hall acquired an art gallery which was open to the public: a kind of museum. Here the clay models that Quellinus had made for the marble decorations of the building were displayed. These models came from Quellinus's Amsterdam studio where the sculptor had worked until 1664. Many artists visited the gallery to view and to copy these models. In 1808 Louis Bonaparte King of Holland converted the town hall into a palace. Since then the building has served alternatively as town hall and palace. After restoration in the twentieth century it was opened to the public as a museum. Although the palace remains the property of the Dutch royal family it is only used for royal functions one or two times a year when large receptions and dinners are hosted. c.f. website Rijksmuseum. hardcover

First editions thus of these catalogues and exceedingly rare complete salesman sample kit for the Wagner Manufacturing garage door hardware in the 1920s. After World War I the explosion and popularity of automobile ownership in the United States created a desperate need to house these often cantankerous and essential machines for homes businesses and commercial fleets. By quickly adapting their hardware sets for elevator doors first introduced before World War I Wagner was able to quickly capitalize on the market growth and need for door hardware to retrofit existing garages as well as new construction. Often coupled with doors produced by Johnson Fimbel Hartford Barber-Colman Overhead and Crawford the Wagner hardware sets proved durable and popular. In addition this sample kit features the specialized steel stud brackets developed by Wagner to help brace garages and sheds adapted for garage doors to hold automobiles as the weight of the doors could damage existing construction as Americans were interested in rolling doors and sectional garage doors rather than traditional swing-out barn-type doors. Wagner 1871-1937 originally founded his company in Cedar Falls IA in 1904 to manufacture children’s sleds coaster wagons and hay rack fixtures with a variety of door hardware. They merge with Star Elevator Doors before World War I and later with Boardman Elevator Control of Chicago with primary customers as Otis Elevator and Westinghouse. In 1934 Wagner began producing the iconic Wagner Overhead Garage Door and by the 1950s had become one of the largest garage door manufacturers in the country. Worldcat locates 1 copy of No. 25 Harvard; and 1 of Wagner-Star Elevator Door Cat Univ. of Kansas; no copies of the other catalogues or examples of the Salesman Sample Model in case.
