Broadside Typography.
Address of the New York Herald To Their Patrons. January 1st 1846. Together with a single issue of the Sacramento Union January 7 1846 containing a similar address.
New York: Herald Book and Job Office 97 Nassau Street 1846. Single sheet folio 492 x 628 mm. Printed on recto only title and three columns of verse surrounded by a highly elaborate border composed of printer's ornaments. Very good with old folds slightly toned two 30 mm closed tears to top margin minor loss to right margin at point of fold no loss of image. Together with single issue of the Sacramento Union: Folio 430 x 585 mm 4pp. Very good lightly toned and foxed with evidence of a former binding along left margin. § A New Year's address to the readers of the New York Herald reviewing the events of 1845 in enthusiastic verse the broadsheet is notable for an extraordinarily elaborate decorative border composed primarily of printer's ornaments. The review runs through the highlights of 1845's local national and international events among them the Great Fire of New York the election of Polk and the Irish Potato Famine. Accompanying the broadside is a contemporaneous issue of the Sacramento Union which on its back page bears a similar New Year's address with border composed of printer's ornaments. It is interesting to compare the two both for the news reviewed and for the typographic resources available to the East and West coast printers. Both addresses refer to the imminent statehood of Texas and Oregon; the Sacramento Union alone spends several lines decrying the issue of slavery. Herald Book and Job Office unknown books

18TH CENTURY RELIGIOUS POETRY A TYPOGRAPHY A REMONDINI PRESS
Componimenti poetici nella solenne professione di suor Maria Teresa Crocefissa al secolo illustrissima signora Girolama Gaudio nellÂ’insigne monistero do Girolama di Venezia consagrati agli illustrissimi signoro Giuseppe Luigi e Clemente Gaudio Fratelli Amorosissimi Della Medesima.
Venice: Remondini 1764. Hardcover. Very Good. Folio 315 x 240mm. 38pp. I-XXXVIII. Finely printed with decorative chapter headings and tail-pieces. Engraved printerÂ’s device of Remondini depicting bishop with putti carrying crozier and miter. Engraved vignette of muses on dedication page. Decorative paper covered boards; some minor soiling or staining joint repaired on title verso lacking first and last blanks otherwise complete and in good form with good wide margins. <br/><br/>Collection of poetic essays in song of Sister Maria Theresa Crocefissa 1645-1699 an Augustinian nun from Venice known for her long orations printed by the Remondini press. In the 16th century Venice was the marketplace of the world. Its location on the lagoon and its unique connections with the sea distinguished it as a cosmopolitan center among the great cities of the Renaissance. In this larger context commerce and trade played a central role in the development and achievements of music printing. The subject of this work is poems written as canzones and sonettoes or songs and little songs of Sister Maria Crocefissa. From an early age Maria Crocefissa was devoted to long poetic orations. Soon she was also engaged in self-punitive actions including wearing a hairshirt. At the age of 23 she experienced her first religious ecstasies. During these periods of trance some lasting well over a week she regressed into a childlike state that left her completely paralyzed. The presence of Maria Crocefissa in her Augustinian convent of San Girolamo brought about a series of supernatural episodes and mysterious sightings which interested the public. While she was still alive her papers were widely published. This particular title of her poems addressed to Girolama Gaudio is of utmost rarity not located in a contemporary library collection or market worldwide. From the Remondini press who by the second half of the 18th century were employing more than a thousand people in the Bassano del Grappa with hundreds of others busy in their local paper mills and selling their products in scores of countries making them perhaps the biggest publishers in Europe. Between 1751 and 1790 Remondini were granted more licenses for books than all the other Venice booksellers put together. Printed matter was a luxury and the Remondini press was known to employ refined typographical features to suit the tastes of buyers. In this work attention is paid to the decorative elements initials and layout of each page. Remondini hardcover books

Cassandre A. M. Adolphe Mouron Cassandre illustrator and designer. Typography: Maurice Frederic. Photography: Rene Message
Parfums Lucien Lelong
Paris: Agence Générale de Publicité et de PropagandePrinter: E. Desfosses. Wraps. Brochure. Near Fine. N.d. circa 1930. 8vo. 24.5 by 18.5 cm. Unpaginated 31 leaves all of a weighty card stock or over 60 pages about half with color plates we count 31 but one can quibble about whether one or two of them so qualify. Eleven of these are non-product illustrations -- attempts to capture concepts or abstractions -- the balance being exquisite depictions of the company's fine perfume bottles. The catalogue exudes an unalloyed dreamy luxury in every respects as befits high-end perfume marketing. Cassandre a name adopted by the Ukrainian-born Adolphe Jean-Marie Mouron 1901-1968 -- his parents were French -- was a highly celebrated commercial artist theatrical designer magazine illustrator and poster artist. He worked heavily with the prestige printer Draeger as well as the couturier Lucien Lelong and others. In time he was awarded the French Legion of Honor. Lelong was a top Parisian couturier from the twenties til his retirement in the late forties. He was himself not a designer but rather relied on a stable of designers and among his proteges was Christian Dior. As this catalogue also shows dress designers were branching out into fragrances for a long time; this catalogue predates the creation of Chanel No. 5 by a few years. Light wear to the wraps -- a minor closed tear along the upper joint and some minor wrinkling or creasing to the cover paper. Otherwise clean and fresh. <br /><br /> Agence Générale de Publicité et de PropagandePrinter: E. Desfosses. paperback books
