BELGIUM THE RHINE ITALY GREECE AND THE SHORES AND ISLANDS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN. ILLUSTRATED IN A SERIES OF BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED ENGRAVINGS. VOL. I & II. TWO VOLUMES IN ONE
London: Peter Jackson Late Fisher Son & Co. The Caxton Press 1850. Half Leather. Very Good binding. Wright and Buckingham's historical descriptions of various places in Belgium the Rhine Italy Greece and the Shores and Islands of the Mediterranean with engraved illustrations by various artists. Complete with two volumes bound in one. Vol. I is complete with all 73 plates called for in the 'Contents' though "Great Canal and Antique Gothic House" or "Ghent" is bound in at Vol. II p. 58 and "The City of Catania and Mount Etna" is bound in near Vol. II p. 152. Vol. II is lacking pp. 25-32 and pp. 49-56 and also lacks the eight plates that would have been in those two signatures. This is quite possibly a binder's error as there does not appear to be any explicit damage to the textblock at those locations; the binder also misplaces a number of plates though most of these errors are simply a few pages off. Vol. I with all 73 plates. Vol. II with 73 of the 81 plates. Altogether with 146 of the 154 plates which includes the frontispieces and additional title pages engraved. Some foxing to the plates; previous owners' names on the front pastedown and recto of the initial frontispiece lacking front endpaper. Surface wear to the joints spine and corners of the boards. Some soiling to the cloth covered boards. Half brown leather with designs in blind decorative gilt rules and gilt lettering and gray cloth covered boards. Very Good. Very Good binding.

BRIEF IN THE CASE OF WASHINGTON A. BARTLETT. with: MEMORIAL OF THE LIFE AND SERVICES OF WASHINGTON A. BARTLETT
San Francisco 1888. 4;45pp. Dbd. Good. Washington A. Bartlett a former governor of California was dropped unceremoniously from the Navy amidst a veritable flurry of accusations in 1855. He appealed for restoration years later since he was out of the country at the time of discharge systematically proving each charge false and thus was restored in glory. The legal brief is a list of the charges and the final conclusion to sustain his restoration; it calls the original decision of the court to discharge Bartlett "an evil influence moved by a powerful enemy." The memorial is a lengthy testament to Bartlett's character and is endorsed by the "Society of California Pioneers" of which Bartlett was an active member. It was used as evidence in the court. unknown books

Buescher Bartlett Jean

Berkeley CA: Blood Root Press 2000. One of 135 copies all on Frankfurt Cream and Deep Green Ingres paper in three colors each hand numbered and signed by the author / artist / printer Jean Buescher and the calligrapher Nancy Leavitt. Page size: 4-3/4 inches x 6-1/2 inches; 20 pages. Bound by Jean Buescher: hand-made papers by Anne Marie Kennedy of raw flax and cotton rag cover papers over boards framed and pigmented pale blue and red oxide; appliqué and embroidery by Jean Buescher in shape of glove outlined with hem stitch in white and vase in blue outlined in black basting stitch; second vase on its side outlined in black chain stitch exposed spine guards of Red Roma paper. Title page with original gouache of artichoke in greens and blue and brown on pink ground small gouache device on colophon page. Letter press printed by Jean Buescher from metal engravings of Nancy Leavitt's original calligraphy in blue/gray pink/red and brown on green and cream colored papers; printing accomplished on a Vandercook Universal I at the Digger Pine Press. Nancy Leavitt's beautiful calligraphy is elegantly spaced bringing life to Jean Buescher's tender words. Art critic Maureen Bloomfield has written of Ms. Buescher's work "The energy.emanates from the interval; the space between act and aftermath; desire and effect. That her poems are thus often about space and the corresponding sensation and suspension of time makes me feel as if her work is best read not in typescript but in the context of a handmade book." In this book the combination of Nancy Leavitt's art is securely intertwined with that of Jean Buescher's - making it a distinct pleasure to hold view and read. Blood Root Press unknown books
