‎Mezzotint portrait by Johann Jacob Haid‎

‎1769. <p>Trew Christoph Jacob 1695-1769. Mezzotint portrait by Johann Jacob Haid 1704-67. N.p. Nuremberg 1769 or after. 531 x 356 mm. image measures 406 x 268 mm. Margins a little frayed not affecting image a few small marginal tears repaired but very good.</p> <p>Excellent mezzotint portrait of German physician and botanist Christoph Jacob Trew after whom the East Indian plant genus Trewia is named. Trew was the author of the lavishly illustrated Hortus nitidissimis omnem per annum superbiens floribus 1750-86 and Plantae selectae quarum imagines ad exemplaria naturalia Londini in hortis curiosorum nutrita 1750-73 both with plates engraved after drawings by the noted 18th century botanical artist Georg Dionysius Ehret; the latter work has been described as "one of the great botanical iconographies" Lazarus and Pardoe p. 43. The present portrait appeared as a frontispiece to the Plantae selectae. Trew founded the periodical Commercium litterarium ad rei et medicinae scientiae naturalis one of the first general medical journals and from 1743 served as director of the Kaiserlich-Leopoldinisch-Carolingischen Akademie der Naturforscher. Trew's scientific correspondence numbering over 19000 letters is the largest such collection known; his natural history library of 34000 volumes is now at the University of Erlangen.

Provenance: Latimer Clark.</p> <p>Regarding Clark's request for a portrait photograph. Jacob Brett was the younger brother of John Brett the head of the Magnetic Telegraph Company in England and one of the co-founders of Cyrus Field's Atlantic Telegraph Company. In 1850 John and Jacob Brett laid the first undersea cable between England and France. This failed after one garbled message a French fisherman cut the cable thinking it was a new variety of seaweed but in 1851 the Bretts laid a much stronger cable that remained in use for many years.</p> . unknown books‎

‎Jacob Monod Lwoff and Brenner‎

‎22 offprints mimeographs etc. on molecular biology and bacterial genetics with two others‎

‎1968. <p>Jacob Francois 1920- ; Monod Jacques 1910-75; Lwoff Andre 1902-94; & Brenner Sydney 1927- . Group of 22 offprints mimeographs etc. on molecular biology and bacterial genetics together with 2 related papers by other authors. Various sizes. 1947-1968. Together in one volume cloth "Institut Pasteur" in gilt on the spine. Overall good to very good; see detailed condition descriptions below. From the library of G. G. and Elinor Meynell authors of Theory and Practice in Experimental Biology 1970 with their address label on the front endpaper and ownership signatures on several of the offprints.</p> <p>First / First Separate Editions. Jacob Monod and Lwoff all colleagues at the Institut Pasteur received the 1965 Nobel Prize in physiology / medicine for their discoveries concerning genetic control of enzyme and virus synthesis-discoveries that "opened up a new field of research that deserved to be called 'molecular biology'" Magill The Nobel Prize Winners: Physiology or Medicine II p. 921. Their work answered the fundamental question of how the hereditary information contained in DNA can be translated into the chemical processes that synthesize cellular proteins this question had been posed most succinctly and explicitly in Francis Crick's theoretical paper "On protein synthesis" 1957 which laid the groundwork for over a decade's worth of research in this area. Brenner another key figure in this field worked with Jacob and Matthew Meselson on providing experimental evidence for messenger RNA; he was awarded a share of the 2002 Nobel Prize for his discoveries concerning genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death.</p> <p>The collection we are offering here focuses largely on the Nobel Prize-winning work done by the Institut Pasteur group-Lwoff Jacob and Monod-in the 1950s and 1960s. The work can be divided into four sections: </p> <p>1 lysogeny and bacterial conjugation</p> <p> 2 expression of the genetic material via messenger RNA</p> <p> 3 the regulation of the genetic activity of bacterial cells by operons</p> <p>4 the organization of bacterial genetic material.</p> <p> In the following paragraphs we will attempt to highlight the more important papers in this remarkable collection; however all the papers here touch upon these central questions of molecular biology.</p> <p>Lysogeny defined as the hereditary ability to produce the bacteriophage virus is a peculiar type of infection in which the phage becomes part of the genetic material of a bacterial cell; in this non-infective form prophage it can then be inherited by succeeding generations of cells becoming virulent only when some environmental stimulus causes the bacterium to produce and release phage.</p> <p> "Lysogeny brought a model for the interrelation between a virus and a cell. And also a model for the possible mode of action of carcinogenic agents which could disturb something in this balance" Judson p. 368. Lwoff studied this phenomenon intensively in the late 1940s and early 1950s successfully demonstrating the genetic nature of lysogeny which was disputed by several scientists including Delbruck and discovering how it is induced. In 1953 he published an important review of the subject "Lysogeny" Bacteriological Review 17; see no. 2 below. Lysogeny was also studied by Jacob and Elie Wollman whose paper "Induction of phage development in lysogenic bacteria" CSH Symposia on Quant. Biol. 18 1953; see no. 5 below summarizes what had been learned about lysogeny as of that date.</p> <p>Lwoff's work on lysogeny inspired Jacob and Wollman to investigate the phenomenon of bacterial conjugation the transfer of genetic information from a male donor bacterium to a female recipient resulting in genetic recombination to see if they could discover where in the bacterium's genetic material the prophage was located. In 1955 working with a highly recombinant strain of E. coli K12 discovered by William Hayes Jacob and Wollman performed what came to be known as their "coitus interruptus" experiment in which they used a Waring blender to interrupt the mating bacteria at various stages of their conjugation. They found that the donor cell's genetic characteristics were not transferred all at once but rather sequentially over time-a discovery of great importance. </p> <p>"Wollman and Jacob had stumbled upon a way to measure off the genes on the bacterial chromosome as directly and physically as a child squeezes toothpaste onto a brush or a carpenter unrolls a coiled steel tape measure. As they saw instantly and reported in a note in mid-June 1955 in the weekly Comptes rendus of the Academie des Sciences "Sur le mecanisme du transfert de materiel genetique au cours de la recombinaison chez E. coli K12"; see no. 6 below they had the means to make a genetic map of biochemical characteristics expressed in units of time" Judson p. 385.</p> <p> In 1956 Wollman and Jacob published the first albeit rudimentary timed map of the K12 strain of E. coli in a paper published in France. This map was printed again in their English-language paper "Conjugation and genetic recombination in E. coli K-12" CSH Symposia on Quant. Biol. 21 1956; see no. 8 below which also contained the first publication of Thomas Anderson's famous electron micrograph of two conjugated bacteria.</p> <p>In 1958 Jacob delivered his paper "Transfer and expression of genetic information in E. coli K12" see no. 9 below at a symposium in Brussels; this paper together with one given by Jacob's sometime colleague Arthur Pardee "ranged over the whole matter of transfer of genes between bacteria and the regulation of their expression" Judson p. 400. Jacob and Wollman had originally represented the hereditary material in linear form while stating that the genetic map could be formally represented as a circle. In 1963 at a Cold Spring Harbor conference the researcher J. Cairns provided physical evidence that the E. coli chromosome was circular; at this same conference Jacob Brenner and co-author Francois Cuzin presented their paper "On the regulation of DNA replication in bacteria" CSH Symposia on Quant. Biol. 28; see no. 16 below containing their "replicon model of chromosome replication in bacteria a model that almost required circularity of chromosomal and F factor DNA" Brock p. 103.</p> <p>Experimental proof of the existence of messenger RNA the substance responsible for coding protein synthesis was announced in Brenner Jacob and Meselson's landmark paper "An unstable intermediate carrying information from genes to ribosomes for protein synthesis" Nature 190 1961; see no. 1 below. The theoretical groundwork for messenger RNA had been laid in Crick's "On protein synthesis" 1957; demonstration of the substance's existence had been foreshadowed by Volkin and Astrachan's discovery of a high-turnover unstable RNA distinct from the ribosomal and transfer varieties 1956 and by the famous "PaJaMo" experiment demonstrating the negative control mechanism of enzyme induction 1958. However it was not until the spring of 1960 that these previous findings were combined by Brenner Jacob and Francis Crick into a biological model setting forth the exact means of communication between gene and cytoplasm while eliminating the various problems associated with earlier ribosome-based theories of gene expression. As Brock puts it the ribosome was now seen as "simply a nonspecific translation machine something like a computer whose behavior depended on what software it contained" Brock p. 306.</p> <p> Working with Matthew Meselson who had developed experimental techniques for tagging and separating ribosomes Brenner and Jacob performed the critical experiment described in their paper which provided direct evidence for the existence of an unstable rapidly turning over messenger RNA.</p> <p>The concept of the operon-a group of adjacent genes functioning as a unit under the control of another gene the operator gene-developed between 1958 and 1960 on the basis of work done by Monod and Jacob who were investigating the repressor model of gene regulation. Jacob developed the idea that gene regulation was based on a repression system that operated like an on-off switch and that "genetic units of a higher order existed . . . that contained several genes subject to unitary expression. . . . On the basis of these ideas and observations Jacob and Monod developed the concept of two kinds of genes structural which coded for the synthesis of proteins and regulatory which did not" Brock p. 300. In October 1959 Jacob and Monod published the theoretical basis for the operon in "Genes de structure et genes de regulation dans la biosynthese des proteines" C. r. Acad. Sci. 249; see no. 11 below. Their paper "established the sharp distinction between the familiar genes that determined protein structures and the new class of genes that regulated. It even looked to them then as though the product of the regulatory gene were not a protein by RNA. But the fact to be underlined they said was that in every known case when several structural genes had their expression controlled by the same regulatory gene-'that is to say in all probability by a unique repressor'-the structural genes were grouped tightly together. . . . The best fit to the evidence was that the group of genes had among them a single element: the operator target of the repressor" Judson p. 410. </p> <p>The Jacob/Monod operon model of gene expression was further explored in their 1961 paper "On the regulation of gene activity CSH Symposia on Quant. Biol. 26; see no. 14 below which presented a more detailed examination of the mechanics of protein synthesis.

‎HAID Johann Jacob 1704 1767 after C. N. EBERLEIN‎

‎Albertus Haller‎

‎Augsburg: Published by Johann Jakob Haid 1730. Mezzotint. Printed on laid paper. In good condition with the exception of some foxing across the margins. Small paper loss in upper left corner of sheet. Image size: 12 1/2 x 7 5/8 inches. A striking scientific portrait of Albrecht von Haller from Johann Jakob Haid's celebrated series of mezzotint portraits.<br/> <br/>Johan Jakob Haid came from a German family of artists and printmakers. Haid worked initially with the animal painter Johann Elias Ridinger but he soon went on to found a well-known publishing house in Augsburg. He became known primarily for his celebrated series of large mezzotint portraits of illustrious individuals. This attractive portrait of Albertus Haller is a wonderful example of Haid's noted series. As in this fine image all of Haid's portraits are highly decorative; the sitter is always surrounded by a decorative frame and the image rests on an ornate descriptive plaque. This is a lovely impression and a fine example of Haid's accomplished series. As in many scientific portraits Haller is shown holding a book symbolizing his important work as a writer. Albrecht von Haller 1708-1777 was a celebrated Swiss anatomist and physiologist. After pursuing an education in medicine and mathematics Haller devoted himself to the study of botany. He began a collection of plants which formed the basis of his great work on the flora of Switzerland. In 1729 he returned to Bern and began to practice as a physician and was soon appointed the chair of medicine at the University of Gottingen. Commonly called "the Great" Haller was an illustrious scholar and prolific writer. His academic interests included poetry botany biography and medicine and he produced a huge quantity of texts devoted to these diverse subjects. He is best remembered for his twenty volumes of biographies on anatomy botany surgery and medicine and for his revolutionary contributions to the field of physiology. He proved the concept of tissue "irritability" and distinguished between nerve impulse and muscular contraction.<br/> <br/>Benezit Dictionnaire des Peintres Sculpteurs Dessinateurs et Graveurs.

As explained on the verso of the title-page 50 percent of sales from this exhibition were to be given to the Merchant Navy Comforts Service. Epstein writes a brief introduction about the works he has selected: "The works in this collection which date from so early as the 'Marcelle' 1920 to the Chinese Girl 'Chia Pi' Precious Jewel 1942 cover a period long enough to embody at any rate a fairly comprehensive development. The works are all in bronze and reflect immediate reactions to things persons seen and treated realistically and might seem to leave out those larger imaginative carvings and bronzes such as 'Genesis' 'Jacob and the Angel' the 'Ecce Homo' which directly embody abstruse philosophical or humanistic and religious themes. But to my mind and method of treatment the study however small must reflect not only the sculptor's vision but his most profound inner feeling before embodied form whatever the shape. I would destroy the legend of the 'dual personality'."<br /> <P> This volume lists 46 paintings sculptures watercolors and drawings all priced.

‎Jena: Typis Donati Richtzenhan 1584. 4to 18 cm 7.08". 24 ff. <br><br>The medical school at the University of Jena one of the institution's four founding departments was established in 1558. Roughly 25 years later Jacob Buchamer of Halle received his degree in medicine with all due pomp and circumstance from Schröter 1513–1593 personal physician to the emperor and first rector of the university — as documented in this testimony to Buchamer's knowledge and accomplishments. Schröter had previously been the moderator for Buchamer's thesis Agnisma Iatrikon de calculo renum et vesicae urinariae printed in 1583. Both that work and this doctoral dissertation presentation are now uncommon; a search of WorldCat finds => only two institutional holdings both in Germany of the present item. <br>    <br>    VD16 ZV 30477. Later plain paper wrappers; outer edges speckled red carrying over to outer margin of title-page. Early inked monogram in upper outer corner of title-page; two instances of early inked marginalia. Pages age-toned with occasional small spots. A nice copy. Typis Donati Richtzenhan unknown books‎
