[China].
Kuang paper-money from the early Ming Dynasty. China, Ming dynasty, Hongwu era (1375-1398).
Ming dynasty 1 Kwan note of the Hung-wu era (1368-98), produced from 1375. Printed on grey mulberry bark paper, size ca. 335 x 222 mm. Framed and glazed. Extremely early example of a banknote, and a specimen of the largest paper money ever issued. The Chinese writing along the top of this Ming note reads "Da ming tong xing bao chao" (from right to left, in regular K'ai Shu style), which translates as "Great Ming Circulating Treasure Note". Below this, the denomination is written in two characters "yi guan" ("one string", then the equivalent of 1000 copper cash or one tael of purse silver or one-fourth tael of gold). Beneath the denomination is a picture of a string of 1000 coins, arranged in ten groups of one hundred coins. Beneath this are the instructions for use and a threat to punish forgers. - Paper very thin and fragile, with some very old repairs, partly faded and with some soiling, some folds. Traces of two faded red (vermilion) seal handstamps, one at each side. As these stamps typically tend to fade with time, they are not easily perceptible. These seals had the function of signatures on modern banknotes. The red imperial seal is applied on the reverse. The outer frame surrounding the text is ornamented with dragon patterns. On both sides of the centre are eight Chinese characters "Ta Ming Pao Ch'ao, Tien Hsia T'ung Hsing" (The Great Ming note, circulates everywhere) in Chuan Shu style. - The 1 Kuan note is the largest paper money ever issued. China was the first country in the world to use paper money (credit currency). The very earliest paper money notes date from the 11th and 12th centuries, but as only fragments of these are extant, they can only be described in very general terms. This kind of note was observed by Marco Polo in the 12th century, and he referred to it as "flying money". The oldest paper money of which a complete specimen survives is that from early Ming dynasty, dated 1375. These notes are the earliest numismatic prints, also the earliest obtainable commercial printing on paper, indeed very nearly the earliest obtainable printing of anything - a full lifetime before Gutenberg. Very few examples survive.

[Coiter, Volcher].
[Kinderskelett-Tafeln aus]: Externarum et internarum principalium humani corporis partium tabulae. [Nürnberg, Dietrich Gerlach, 1572].
2 rad. Tafeln (ca. 556 x 328 mm und 546 x 290 mm). Folio. Die beiden berühmten, nach Volcher Coiters Biographen Robert Herrlinger "vollends originell[en] und wegweisend[en]" Kinderskelett-Tafeln aus den "Externarum et internarum principalium humani corporis partium tabulae" (Nürnberg, 1572). Nachdem der jungverstorbene Mediziner Coiter (1534-76), ein in Nürnberg wirkender Friese, nach seiner Zeit in Italien an keiner Universität mehr lehrte, hatte das Werk zunächst nur einen sehr eingeschränkten Leserkreis, und seine "Auflage kann nicht groß gewesen sein" (Herrlinger, 57). Bei den hier vorliegenden Tafeln handelt es sich um "die ältesten bisher bekannten [Abbildungen] aus dem Gebiet der Embyrologie und Kinderanatomie. Es handelt sich um zwei große Falttafeln von über einem halben Meter Höhe [...] Die erste zeigt das Skelett eines halbjährigen Kindes von schräg vorne, die zweite von schräg hinten; auf dieser ist als 'Abb. 3' ein kleines Skelett einer dreimonatigen Fehlgeburt hinzugefügt [...] Alle Abbildungstafeln sind wie immer mit V.C.D. signiert. Wenn sie auch nicht völlig korrekt sind, so ist vor allem an den beiden großen Kinderskeletten bemerkenswert, wie Coiter versucht, in reiner Schwarz-Weiß-Technik Knorpel und Knochen als zwei verschiedene Materialien zu kennzeichnen: er punktiert den Knorpel und läßt den Knochen weiß. Noch heute ist diese Art der Knorpeldarstellung üblich [...] Coiters Kinderskelette haben Schule gemacht. Felix Platter bringt in seinem anatomischen Lehrbuch von 1583 ebenfalls, als zweiter, Kinderskelette, die ohne Coiter kaum denkbar sind [...] Wirklich neue, bessere Abbildungen vom foetalen und vom kindlichen Skelett gab erst Thomas Kerckring (1670). Coiters Abbildungen waren ein ganzes Jahrhundert lang maßgebend gewesen" (ebd., S. 80). - Etwas braunfleckig; kl. Einrisse alt hinterlegt. VD 16, ZV 3754. R.

With eleven plates ten of which are beautifully chromolithographed including three plates with richly illustrated ornamental borders and hand-drawn gilt accents. The eleventh plate is printed in brown with a floral frame for an ownership signature. That plate is attractively hand-illustrated in color and gilt with the text "Laure & Oscar 29 Octobre 1862" in manuscript. Some toning to versos and margins of plates. Otherwise a fine bright copy of a scarce book in a matching custom slipcase and chemise. Henri Léon Curmer 1801 – 1870 is best remembered for publishing a landmark chromolithographed edition of L'Imitation de Jesus-Christ 1856 printed by Joseph Lemercier and Jules Claye. McLean calls Curmer's publication a "masterpiece of French chromolithography…in which over four hundred pages are decorated in almost every known style of ornamentation in up to fourteen colors" including medieval Renaissance and Islamic examples Victorian Book Design p. 166. In A History of Chromolithography 2013 Michael Twyman wrote that the book "took chromolithography into new territory" and required an enormous amount of labor and resources p. 158. An average of ten to twelve impressions were required for each page and the printing process used over nine hundred stones.</p> L. Curmer, Éditeur

With 40 mounted hand-coloured plates beautifully reproducing the original designs Rococco chinoiserie designs 3 plates w/ old reinforced mounts at upper corners a few w/ old offsetting from the original glue. Preserved in the original quarter-chinoiserie cloth over boards printed illustrated label on front cover front tie loosened from the fore-edge edgewear rubbing still a nice complete set of these plates. First edition thus of this exceptional portfolio reproducing the exquisite and fanciful botanical settings landscapes and allegorical Chinese figures from this extraordinary artist. His chinoiserie engravings exaggerated the wispy and delicate qualities of the style portraying the world as a fairyland fileed with colour and fantasy. His 18th-Century Rococo designs were wildly popular by decorative arts manufacturers and applied to silk textiles porcelain pottery wallpapers and even silver. Pillement 1719-1808 had developed by 1764 a new method of printing on silk with fast colours and that also encouraged the durability and legacy of his designs. The majority of these were engraved by the noted woman artist & engraver Anne Allen a British artist who not only was the second wife to Pillement but created etchings based on his paintings by using the “a la poupee†or multi-colour Intaglio copperplate engraving style of printmaking which breathed life into the intricate scenes. This portfolio reproduces many of her portfolios as well as those executed by Gauthier Dagoty Canot Avril and Robert Cooper. Ernst Henri, hardcover

First edition of this scarce World War I-era greeting card and advertising promotions salesman’s sample catalogue filled with beautifully executed printer’s samples to help raise morale during the brutal second year of the Great War. 1915 opened with the disheartening Neuve Chapelle offensive by General Haig and subsequent political fallout battles of Aubers Ridge Festubert Loos as well as Zeppelin bombings and U-Boat blockade transformed the War and Great Britain into an all out effort and grinding stalemate of trench warfare. With millions of men separated from their families and homes W.N. Sharpe and other publisher’s quickly expanded and adapted ensuring that postcards and greeting cards were supplied so that people far from loved ones could exchange morale-boosting messages. These greeting cards were available to be embossed with regimental badges flags of the allies patriotic messages and would prove to be wildly popular during the opening years of the War. When initially prepared for printing in late 1914 there were only 25 Regimental badges but this quickly grew to 62 and here Sharpe has included the updated list. The greeting cards and Christmas cards feature Bromide photos of English Bulldogs with British Empire flags; soft-focus images of idyllic rural scenes mothers & children; Naval scenes; flower arrangements and even King George V. By the early 20th-Century W.N. Sharpe was one of the largest greeting card and postcard colour printing companies in the World on par with Raphael Tuck and were well known for their famed “Patent FAB Patchwork Card†which featured a decorative square of silk that could be cut out and worked into a pin cushion or tea cozy. Following World War I they would continue to expand into producing stationery wedding cards and stationery birthday cards along with calendars postcards and many other paper ephemera. In 1937 they would built the historic 76000 square foot Hallmark House in Bradford and later in 1984 was acquired by Hallmark Cards of the United States.

Jacob Fugger (1542-98; after 1560: Herr von Babenhausen, Wellenburg und Boos) was the son of the banker Anton Fugger (nephew and successor of Jacob Fugger "the Wealthy"). He was known as "the Elder" to distinguish him from his like-named nephew (1567-1626) who in 1588 was still a student in Rome and later became Bishop of Constance. - Slight worming throughout, more pronounced in vol. 2 (especially near beginning and end; some loss to text). The splendid, exceptionally well-preserved pigskin bindings (slightly rubbed, back cover of vol. 2 showing minute chafing, otherwise perfect) are probably the work of the Augsburg master Jakob Bitmer (cf. Haebler). Adams C 2773. Edit 16, CNCE 13060. LThK VI, 185. OCLC 6967756. Not in BM-STC Italian. Binding's plate stamps: Haebler I, 55f.: I.B. VI, plates I & II.

[Cupping].
De cucurbitula libellus. Paris, Christian Wechel, 1541.
8vo. 31, (1) pp. Later blue wrappers. A compact Latin treatise on the ancient medical art of cupping, recorded already in the works of classical medical writers Galen and Celsus. This pocket-size booklet contained everything a doctor needed to know to make use of the technique in mid-sixteenth century Europe. - As typical of humanist medical studies, the anonymous work begins with a brief reflection on the Greek origins of cupping. It then describes the uses of the technique for the extraction of blood and the manipulation of the humours. Already on page 4 the relative safety of the non-invasive procedure is emphasised: "Idque auxilium ut minus vehemens, ita magis tutum". The author then goes on to discuss the various materials used for making the cups or "cucurbitulae" (literally, "little pumpkins" or "gourds"), how to use them, for how long, where in the various areas of the body, and against which ailments they can be employed. Modern readers interested in the history of the use of cupping to reduce pain and inflammation in the lower back will be pleased to see mention of the technique to this end on pp. 27-28. - The book has moderate to severe browning to the edges of the pages thoughout, more pronounced on pp. 11-14 but not affecting the text. On the first and final pages, the cover has formerly become adhesed to the paper, the later removal of which has left marks. The paper cover shows some black staining to the spine; numerous tears in the wrapper reveal frequent use. Rare. BM-STC French 126. Adams D 169. Wellcome I, 1690. OCLC 17534872. Not in Durling.

[DECORATIVE PRINTING]:
EIGHT LATE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY WRITING SHEETS / MENU CARDS WITH HAND-COLOURED DECORATIVE ROCOCO BORDERS
c.1800. Eight decorative writing sheets of laid paper with elaborate engraved decorative borders with hand-colouring each contemporaneously mounted to card with pink and blue coloured paper edges and a blank sheet of laid paper affixed to the rear. The group including five different designs. Each measuring between 36.5 x 26cm and 33 x 24cm. Three apparently unused the other five with contemporary cut blank paper sections affixed to the central panels presumably to cover previous manuscript text/signs of use. There is rubbing to the coloured paper edging and some occasional light finger marking and dust soiling otherwise condition is very good indeed. A visually striking collection of writing sheets dating to the close of the eighteenth century most likely French decorated with vibrantly hand-coloured engraved Rococo borders incorporating fairies cherubs and sphinxes. Their particular use in this instance is somewhat unclear although being mounted to stiff card and with some having replaced sections to the blank panel it possible that they were being utilised as menu cards. unknown

[DOSSIE (Robert)]
The Handmaid to the Arts, Vol. the First. Teaching, I. A perfect knowledge of the Materia Pictoria, or, the nature, use, preparation, and composition of all the various substances employed in painting, as well vehicles, dryers, &c...
Second edition, 2 vols., 8vo (215 x 130 mm), xxvii, [9], 522, [10]; xiv, [14], 462, [x]pp., ownership signature torn away from outer upper bank margin of title page, final 3 leaves to vol. I and a couple of gathering from vol. II with waterstain tide mark (not unsightly), recent red half morocco, marbled boards, contrasting green morocco title label to spine, five raised bands, tooled in gilt. Robert Dossie (1717-1777) was a rigourous advocate for the advantages of improved public knowledge.

As a resource, it was well regarded by eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century artisans and became the standard work for practical techniques of that era.
