CRYSTAL PALACE
Coloured [Auction] Plan of the Crystal Palace 1911. THE CRYSTAL PALACE: A RARE SURVIVAL
Large and elaborate coloured engraved plan measuring approx. 1270mm x 1010mm (50.0 ins x 39.75 ins), folding in 20 panels to approx. 320mm x 210mm (12.5 ins x 8.0 ins); housed in original printed cartridge envelope with self-sealing flap (short tear in flap), A REMARKABLY CLEAN, NEAR FINE COPY. This is an engraved and coloured plan of the Crystal Palace prepared for the intended sale at auction of the buildings and grounds in 1911 (see below). The retaining envelope is printed 'PLAN OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE 1851-1911. Solicitors: Messrs Janson Cobb, Pearson & Company, 22 College Hill, E.C.; Receiver and Manager: Mr. Ernest I Husey (Messrs Jackson, Pixley & Co., Chartered Accountants, 58 Coleman Street, E.C; Auctioneers: Mr. Howard Frank (Messrs Knight, Frank & Rutley), 20 Hanover Sq, London W; and Mr. John Roy Lancaster (Messrs Horne & Co), 85 Gresham Street, E.C.' The plan in well executed and colour-coded to indicate the various leases and tenancies involved. It shows the scale and local context of the magnificent building, together with its world-famous gardens and grounds, including the tiered sculptural terraces, the patios, and the renowned lakes and fountains. Key features such as the Flying Machine, the Maze, Brunel's Polygonal Water Towers, the Lower Lake area housing Waterhouse Hawkins' recreations of dinosaurs (still present today) and the Sports Grounds are clearly highlighted. HISTORICAL CONTEXT. After the Great Exhibition of 1851, the Crystal Palace was re-erected in a considerably enlarged form in 1854 at Sydenham in South London. During the next half century it continued as a major metropolitan tourist attraction attracting visitors from all over the world to marvel at the building, its contents and gardens, and to witness a wide variety of entertainment including music, acrobatics, circuses and fireworks. By the turn of the century, however, the novelty was wearing thin and the number of visitors declined to the point where in 1911 the Palace was declared bankrupt and placed in the hands of a receiver. 'On 28 November it was to be sold by auction, to be offered in one lot as a going concern. This was a fateful period in its history. There was grave danger that it would pass into the hands of the developers. Every jerry builder within striking distance was eager for the moment when he might be in a position to swoop down on the beautiful grounds and reduce them to terms of bricks and mortar. But that ultimate indignity was not to be. The Earl of Plymouth produced £230,000 to buy the Palace as a going concern; at the same time the Lord Mayor of London opened a fund to purchase the Crystal Palace for the nation, and to reimburse Lord Plymouth. This was completed in 1913 and the Crystal Palace was saved.' [A.R. Warwick: The Phoenix Suburb (1972)]. During the Great War the revitalised Palace served as a Royal Naval base (HMS VICTORY VI). At the end of hostilities it became for a short time the home of the Imperial War Museum and then reverted to tourism with exhibitions of early flying, pioneer television, dirt-track racing, music festivals, dog and cat shows, dancing and fireworks. In this way it continued until completely destroyed by the tragic fire of 30 November 1936 - the end of a great era. IT IS UNCERTAIN HOW MANY OF THESE ELABORATE PLANS WERE PRODUCED, BUT THE NUMBER CANNOT HAVE BEEN GREAT. GIVEN THAT £230,000 (VERY APPROXIMATELY £7M BY TODAY'S STANDARDS) WAS REQUIRED TO OBVIATE THE NEED FOR SALE, THE NUMBER OF INTENDING BIDDERS MUST HAVE BEEN FEW INDEED. IN ANY CASE IT IS UNLIKELY THAT MANY COPIES SURVIVE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS VIRTUALLY UNOPENED STATE COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL ENVELOPE. A DOCUMENT OF CONSIDERABLE SIGNIFICANCE IN THE HISTORY OF SOUTH LONDON, AND A VIVID REMINDER OF ONE OF LONDON'S GREATEST HISTORIC ATTRACTIONS.

D'Angelis Erasmo
La conquista dell'acqua. Dai laghi preistorici alla gestione del bene comune
ill., ril. Una guida corredata di immagini per entrare nel complesso e affascinante mondo dell'acqua, facendosi sorprendere dalla storia idrica del nostro territorio, in gran parte sconosciuta. Scritto in occasione del decimo anniversario della nascita di Publiacqua, l'azienda pubblica più grande della Toscana, il volume si muove su tre livelli, con l'obiettivo di raccontare il passato, descrivere il presente e far immaginare il futuro. Il lettore scoprirà che differenza c'è fra l'acqua dei laghi preistorici che coprivano la piana occupata oggi da Firenze, Prato e Pistoia e quella che esce dai rubinetti delle case o dai fontanelli nei parchi. Oppure cos'è cambiato da quando scorreva nei canali scavati dagli etruschi o lambiva i ponti romani, azionava i mulini medievali o zampillava nei giardini dei Medici. Leggerà infine la storia delle straordinarie trasformazioni ambientali e urbanistiche, culturali e sociali attraverso la chiave di lettura dell'acqua, i suoi usi per la vita e la sua potenza distruttiva, il faticoso passaggio dalle prime, rudimentali opere all'attuale moderna gestione integrata.

D'Angelis Erasmo
Tevere nostrum. Acqua, storia, natura, cultura
ill., cart. Il Tevere, laddove nasce, "è ancora poco più che un'idea" ma poi, con i suoi 405 km di corso, diventa il terzo fiume italiano per lunghezza e portata: partendo dal monte Fumaiolo, attraversa l'estremità orientale della Toscana, l'Umbria e il Lazio, bagna Roma per tuffarsi infine nel mar Tirreno. Arricchito da un florilegio di immagini suggestive, il volume narra la storia dei popoli che dall'alba dei tempi hanno condiviso le sorti e il territorio con il grande Tiber, e degli esseri viventi, animali e vegetali, che hanno animato e animano tutt'oggi le acque e le sponde del fiume. Si sofferma su aneddoti e verità dimenticate, traccia percorsi da sperimentare in prima persona, scova e rivela segreti nascosti in pagine di memorie lontane, e descrive le grandi opere di ingegneria - acquedotti, fognature, ponti, porti e fontane - di cui furono artefici prima gli Etruschi e poi i Romani. Nomi e numeri di una storia millenaria che, insieme al resoconto della continua lotta dei nostri antenati per la sopravvivenza tra piene, alluvioni e malaria, racconta l'indiscusso debito di Roma caput mundi nei confronti delle acque tiberine.

Manuale di topografia
brossura Questo manuale di topografia è frutto di una lunga esperienza professionale ed editoriale dell'autore; esso si propone, pur nella sua sinteticità, come un valido riferimento per gli operatori del settore, esponendo gli argomenti più usuali come: il rilievo topografico, attraverso la descrizione delle sue fasi e delle strumentazioni di impiego, quali il teodolite ottico-meccanico e elettronico, la stazione totale, il livello ottico-meccanico e digitale, il sistema di posizionamento GPS, precisando le tecniche operative; il rilievo fotogrammetrico, con particolare riguardo all'aerofotogrammetria ed alle strumentazioni ad essa funzionali. Si fa cenno anche al Telerilevamento, nonché al Rilievo dei vicini e ai GIS. Le applicazioni topografiche, comprendenti l'Agrimensura e le Sistemazioni superficiali dei terreni (Spianamenti) sono trattate in maniera esauriente. Conclude il volume un breve Glossario di Topografia, per dare la possibilità di orientarsi nella "giungla" di parole e acronimi, ormai entrati nella normalità della comunicazione tecnica.

D'Apostoli Roberto; Giampaolo Francesco
Guida pratica al rilievo topografico con GPS e stazione totale
br. La necessità di proporre una guida deriva dall'improvvisazione che molte volte si rileva nell'ambito delle operazioni di rilievo topografico anche per estensioni di 200 m di raggio, in particolare da quando le apparecchiature sono alla portata economica di un pubblico numeroso. Il neofita, pur se provvisto di strumentazione all'avanguardia, tende a sottovalutare o addirittura a ignorare i concetti basilari che devono regolare il suo lavoro, concetti da cui non si può mai prescindere, pena la improponibilità del lavoro eseguito. La tecnologia infatti, anche se appare di facile impiego, non dà la minima certezza della bontà del risultato finale, che deve essere garantito da studiati e consolidati criteri; questi ultimi debbono essere l'indispensabile bagaglio di qualsiasi operatore. Il volume è articolato in due parti; nella prima parte si ricordano i concetti informatori della topografia, come: le superfici di riferimento e i riferimenti; le reti geodetiche e le reti GNSS; il rilievo topografico e le sue parti: ricognizione, misure di campagna con Stazione Totale e GPS (descrizione dei due strumenti e modo di operare), il calcolo, la restituzione (piano quotato, DTM, piano a curve di livello, lettura delle mappe), la post-ricognizione; nozioni di cartografia (Carta d'Italia IGMI, Cartografia Tecnica Regionale e cenni sulla Cartografia Catastale). Nella seconda parte si espongono dettagliatamente tre esempi professionali di rilievo, eseguiti con la Stazione Totale, con il GPS e con il GPS e Stazione Totale. Completa la trattazione un dizionarietto tecnico per un primo orientamento nella moltitudine di nomi e acronimi che interessano il rilievo.
