Morningstar, C.K.; Corfield, William E. (editor)
From Dobbin to Diesel - The Story of Public Transportation in London, Canada
53 pages. The London Street Railway received its charter in 1873 and commenced service in 1875. This work commemorates a century of planning and service. Author retired as General Manager of the service in 1971 and completed two years of research in preparation for this work. Prepared from the files of the London Street Railway Company and its successor, the London Transportation Commission, from newspaper stories, memories of veteran employees, and many other sources. "Includes a brief outline of London from its beginning as a pioneer settlement in 1826 to 1875 when public transportation commenced, because the story of horse-drawn trams, electric street cars and buses is really part of the story of our community and the people who built it over the years." - from Foreward. Includes numerous black and white illustrations and maps. Tiny prior owner's address label inside front board else clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Beautiful copy. Book

MORTIER Pierre (1661 - 1711)
Roma Vetus - Rome Ancienne
Pianta di Roma antica, orientata con il nord a sinistra."A proiezione obliqua; orografica. Veduta a volo d'uccello con la raffigurazione dei soli edifici e monumenti pubblici principali, rappresentati in alzato" (cfr. Scaccia Scarafoni p. 36).La mappa deriva da quella di Johannes Blaeu del 1663, della quale è una perfetta riedizione, non derivante dalla stessa lastra: "Quella del Mortier non è dunque un ristampa della precedente del 1663, come si legge in qualche repertorio, ma una perfetta riedizione […] lo dimostrano alcune varianti, il titolo in latino al centro in alto rialzato per far posto alla sottostante traduzione in francese, i toponimi interamente riscritti e leggermente più grandi dell'originale, soprattutto la scomparsa del ricco stemma del nobile Simone van Hoorn e del cartiglio con la dedica allo stesso, a firma del Blaeu" (cfr. Caldana, p. 98).Opera tratta dal terzo volume del Nouveau Theatre de l’Italie.Acquaforte, con margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Map of ancient Rome, oriented with the north to the left."A proiezione obliqua; orografica. Veduta a volo d'uccello con la raffigurazione dei soli edifici e monumenti pubblici principali, rappresentati in alzato" (cfr. Scaccia Scarafoni p. 36).The map derives from Johannes Blaeu's map of 1663, of which it is a perfect re-edition, nor derived from the same plate: "Mortier's map is therefore not a reprint of the previous one of 1663, as we read in some repertoire, but a perfect re-edition [...] this is demonstrated by some variations, the Latin title in the center at the top raised to make way for the underlying French translation, the place names entirely rewritten and slightly larger than the original, especially the disappearance of the coat of arms of the noble Simone van Hoorn and the cartouche with the dedication signed by Blaeu" (cf. Caldana, p. 98).Work taken from the third volume of the Nouveau Theatre de l'Italie.Etching, with margins, in perfect condition. Caldana, "Roma Antica", 2013, p. 98, n. I.45; Scaccia Scarafoni, "Le Piante di Roma", n. 36.

MOSCHETTI Alessandro (attivo tra il 1830 e il 1845)
Pianta di Roma Elevata nel MDCCCXLVIII
Pianta di Roma edita da Alessandro Moschetti nel 1848. Viene attribuita ad Angelo Bertini – in qualità di editore – ed Enrico Salandri come incisore. “è la seconda edizione della pianta del Bertini/Salandri. Attorno alla pianta ci sono sei vedutine di Roma e 117 numeri di legenda come nella prima edizione. Le varie ristampe, come rilevato dal Frutaz, si differenziano tra loro solo per alcuni particolari dell’apparato decorativo estreno. Il prototipo di questa pianta dovrebbe essere quella di anonimo del 1820 circa, in cui piazza del Popolo si presenta ancora con un solo emiciclo realizzato. I nomi del Bertini e del Salandri sono presenti solo nella prima edizione” (cfr. Marigliani p. 363). Alessandro Moschetti, secondo quanto si legge in Giovanna Sapori e Sonia Amadio, Il mercato delle stampe a Roma, XVI-XIX secolo (p. 334) fu incisore di architetture con bottega a Roma in via Bocca di Leone, 63. Secondo altre fonti fu invece attivo a Roma prima e Napoli poi fino al 1868. Si dedicò con successo all’intaglio di vedute della città eterna, pubblicate per la prima volta nella Raccolta delle principali vedute di Roma antica e moderna (1843). La raccolta, che comprende un frontespizio figurato e 35 tavole incise in rame dal Moschetti su disegni di Marchi, Ciconnetti e Zolla, "il cui numero può variare da un esemplare all'altro" (cfr. S. Rossetti, n. 7252) è assai ricercata per la pianta di Roma nel 1843 e soprattutto per le vedute arricchite di scene popolari tipiche del folclore civile e religioso dell'epoca. Successivamente le vedute di Moschetti furono ristampate, in numero sempre crescente. Il presente esemplare è tratto dalle 70 Principali vedute di Roma 1861. Proprietà Cesari, reperibile in via Petra n.89. Scudi 6. Incisione in rame, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Bibliografia Cfr. Marigliani, Le piante di Roma nelle collezioni private (2007), p. 363, n. 297; Frutaz n. 199; Scaccia Scarafoni n. 298. Map of Rome edited by Alessandro Moschetti in 1848. It is attributed to Angelo Bertini -as publisher - and Enrico Salandri, as engraver. “è la seconda edizione della pianta del Bertini/Salandri. Attorno alla pianta ci sono sei vedutine di Roma e 117 numeri di legenda come nella prima edizione. Le varie ristampe, come rilevato dal Frutaz, si differenziano tra loro solo per alcuni particolari dell’apparato decorativo estreno. Il prototipo di questa pianta dovrebbe essere quella di anonimo del 1820 circa, in cui piazza del Popolo si presenta ancora con un solo emiciclo realizzato. I nomi del Bertini e del Salandri sono presenti solo nella prima edizione” (cfr. Marigliani p. 363). Alessandro Moschetti, according to Giovanna Sapori and Sonia Amadio, Il mercato delle stampe a Roma, XVI-XIX secolo (p. 334) was an engraver of architecture with a workshop in Rome at Via Bocca di Leone, 63. According to other sources, he was active first in Rome and then in Naples until 1868. He devoted himself successfully to the engraving of views of the Eternal City, published for the first time in the Raccolta delle principali vedute di Roma antica e moderna (1843). The collection, which includes an illustrated frontispiece and 35 plates engraved in copper by Moschetti on drawings by Marchi, Ciconnetti and Zolla, "the number of which may vary from one copy to another" (cf. S. Rossetti, n. 7252) is much sought after for the plan of Rome in 1843 and especially for the views enriched with popular scenes typical of the civil and religious folklore of the time. Subsequently, Moschetti's views were reprinted in increasing numbers. The present example is taken from the 70 Principal Views of Rome 1861. Copper engraving, in excellent condition. Bibliografia Cfr. Marigliani, Le piante di Roma nelle collezioni private (2007), p. 363, n. 297; Frutaz n. 199; Scaccia Scarafoni n. 298.

Two items laid inside front board include a double-sided bilingual glossary of commonly used trade terms and a wonderful 22" wide by 16" high colour map of the world with trade routes to/from Japan indicated in red. Most text on the map is Japanese with some place names in both English and Japanese. Please note that library name is stamped through the blank upper right corner of the map. Elaborately gilt-decorated backstrip with title in Japanese and English bears considerable wear but is still handsome and, dare we say, mysterious. Per a handwritten inscription inside back board, this copy was presented to representatives of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce in Tokyo on 24 October, 1908 by Mr. Shonojo Moriyama, Proprietor of the Dobun_____. Edges adorned with partially-faded marbling. Usual library markings. Above-average wear. Binding intact. A marvelously unique item. Book
