‎Opie, James, Duncan Chilcott und Julia Harris (Eds.)‎

‎The Letts Guide to Collecting Twentieth Century Toys.‎

‎London: Letts, 1991. 96 S. Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Minimale Lagerspuren. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - The appeal of toys for the collector is obvious: they are beautiful objects in their own right, and the best examples are intricate pieces of fine craftsmanship which are delightful to hold and handle. In addition they are wonderful historical records, reflecting changes in fashion and taste, documenting events and concerns of their time and constantly reminding us of the golden ages of the past. Finally, and highly significantly, today rare toys in good condition can reach unprecedented prices at auction, providing a welcome bonus for the established collector, and a stimulating challenge for the novice who wishes to create a collection on a realistic budget. THE LETTS GUIDE TO COLLECTING 20TH-CENTURY TOYS provides a comprehensive overview of all the major collectable areas in this increasingly popular field. A general introduction puts the phenomenon of toy collecting into context, and describes how the development of industrial techniques and materials has affected the production of toys. Separate chapters on dolls and teddy bears, dolls' houses, die-cast toys, tinplate toys, toy trains, soldiers and figures cover in depth the most important areas of modern toy collecting, and there are special features on aspects such as TV toys and robots. THE LETTS GUIDE TO COLLECTING 20TH-CENTURY TOYS incorporates research and material that has come to light in the last decade, bringing the subject fully up to date, and including prices realized in recent sales so that collectors of all degrees of experience will be able to judge for themselves what they should be paying. This book is written by some of the world's leading authorities on toys; authors and dealers in the major auction rooms of Bonhams and Phillip's in London, providing expert professional guidance to the new and the more experienced collector. It shows how to assemble an attractive collection while avoiding the many pitfalls that can trap the unwary trader. It furnishes the reader with a sound historical perspective, information on materials, techniques and design, and professional advice on building a collection and developing an awareness of what is genuine value. It is the indispensable work for all serious collectors. (Klappentext). ISBN 9781852381295‎

Texts printed in 2 columns Greek text with opposing Latin translation. Back ruled gilt red shield in 'second compartment'. Boards with gilt floral borders. The frontispiece by G. de Lairesse depicts a seated woman who is writing in a book; she might be Erato the Muse of epic poetry but also of philosophy. Behind her stands a half naked woman holding a palm leaf; a small radiant new moon rises just above her head; she is probably Iuno; she stands before a statue of Artemis of Ephese; in her left hand Iuno holds an oval shield with a kind of Botticelli scene of the birth of Venus; in the background at the right Helios is performing a sunrise with his chariot four in hand and at the left his sister Selene/Luna who rides in her chariot through the sky passing the crescent moon. Title printed in red and black. The publisher Wetstenius adorned the title with the Elzevier woodcut device of Minerva motto: 'Ne extra oleas'.

This anthology of mythographical texts of 1688 is the revised en augmented edition of the edition that was first published in Cambridge in 1671. The collection reveals according to Gale the truth of religion by means of stories fables and parables and consists of reprints of earlier editions with an occasional preface and improvement by Gale. Gale was not a great scholar or a textual critic with fresh ideas. 'In his Opuscula Mythologica Ethica et Physica' 1671 he puts on record a revealing description of what might be called 'vulgate editing' at the end of his preface which for its naïveté is worth citing. ''In printing all these texts we have closely followed editions published earlier; textual errors with some minor exceptions we have allowed to remain and we have not concealed the absurdities found in the manuscripts which you kind reader may be better able to remove" '. C.O. Brink 'English Classical Scholarship' Cambridge New York 1985 p. 18 Gale produced also editions of Herodotus and Cicero and the 'editio princeps' of 'De Mysteriis' of Iamblichus Provenance: The printed prize was awarded to 'A. de Pecker' for his industry by the 'Schola Harlemo-Batava' on the occasion of his promotion to the second class. The date of the prize is 21 Dec. 1847 and it is signed by the 4 members of the prize committee among whom the 'Gymn. Rector' Jacobus Venhuizen Peerlkamp. At the head of the prize the coat of arms of Haarlem. The name of this diligent boy Abraham de Pecker occurs on the list of 'Predikanten van de Hervormde Gemeente Gorinchem opgericht in 1566'. He was a minister of this protestant church from 1860 till his death on 20-02-1916. He was born in 1831 in Bloemendaal near Haarlem and studied theology in Leiden. He was a protestant 'modernist' which was not easy in that time. An article on Pecker's difficult time in Gorichem can be found on the website of the 'Historische Vereninging Oud-Gorcum'. A picture of him can be found on the website 'Geheugen van Nederland' 'Memory of the Netherlands' Collation: 8 24; A-3A8 3B4 Photographs on request hardcover‎
