Zürich Orell Füssli 1867. Kl.4° 11 S. 3 lithographierte Kunstbeilagen compl. Brosshur Rücken berieben etwas stockfl. 1 Bogen lose = Neujahrsblatt der Stadtbibliothek in Zürich 1867.- Vom 12. August bis zum 16. September 1504 fand in Zürich ein grosses Freischiessen statt - das letzte gemeinsame grosse Volksfest der Eidgenossenschaft vor der Reformation die über Jahrzehnte bürgerkriegsähnliche Zustände brachte. Finanziert wurde das Fest durch eine Art Lotterie den "Glückshafen". Wer daran teilnehmen wollte musste sich mit Namen und Herkunftsort in eine Liste eintragen lassen - in den "Glückshafenrodel". Dieser enthält rund 24 000 Namen von Personen aus der Region Zürich aber auch aus angrenzenden Gebieten und sogar aus dem Ausland; der Rodel stellt damit eine genealogische Quelle ersten Ranges dar weil er aus einer Zeit stammt da noch keine Kirchenbücher existierten. Das Original des Rodels sowie die 1942 in Buchform erschienene Transkription des damaligen Staatsarchivars Prof. Friedrich Hegi befinden sich im Zürcher Staatsarchiv. 010 Zürich, Orell Füssli, 1867 unknown
New York: William Salomon 1912. First Edition. Very Good binding. The only book of photos by forgotten New York photographer Lillian Baynes Griffin who was featured in Harper’s Weekly the New York Press New York Times Vanity Fair and Vogue and famously convinced royalty and plutocrats to pose for her alone. Trained at the New York Institute for Artist Artisans Griffin ventured into photography despite what she referred to as the ‘little opportunity’ for women in the trade. This tome contains 56 photos by Griffin detailing Salomon’s home at 1020 Fifth Avenue. Originally the home of Richard Arnold it was purchased around 1900 by Salomon who was Chairman of the Board of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Salomon spent many years creating essentially a new and more impressive home buying two adjacent lots and greatly expanding what was already by the standards of most a mansion. Half-bound in Japan Vellum over paper-covered boards. This copy has a discreetly replaced spine in Japanese tissue. It is mildly ex-library with a few small marks to the preliminary pages. There are no marks at all to the 56 photogravure plates. Very Good binding. [William Salomon] unknown
