Faksimile der Handschrift MS. 11060-61 Bibliothèque Royal Albert I. 4to. 276 Seiten. Mit 20 ganzseitigen Miniaturen und 17 Initialseiten mit Gold geschmückt. Roter Orig.-Ledereinband mit Rückentitel und Vergoldung, reicher Deckelvergoldung, Blindprägung und Vollgoldschnitt. In Acrylglaskassette.
Entstehung der Handschrift wahrscheinlich Anfang des 15. Jahrhunderts in den Niederlanden im Auftrag des Herzogs von Berry. Überall in den Bordüren finden sich die herzoglichen Wappen, seine Embleme wie etwa den Bären sowie das Monogramm VE aus seiner Devise. Einer der Maler dürfte Andre Beauneveu aus dem Hennegau, der andere Jacquemart aus dem nordfranzösischen Städtchen Hesdin gewesen sein. Erstmalig in der Geschichte der Buchmalerei wurde ein Verfahren der Koloration angewendet, welches zuvor ausschließlich in der Tafelmalerei auftrat. Die überraschendste Eigenart der Heures de Bruxelles besteht darin, dass sie vermutlich als erste unter den großen Stundenbüchern der Zeit um 1400 die Hauptminiaturen zu den einzelnen Gebetsstunden als Vollbilder konzipierten, denen jeweils eine ganze Seite zur Verfügung stand. Beiliegt der Kommentarband. Luzern, Faksimile Verlag 1996. In 980 Exemplaren erschienen. Tadellos erhalten.

(EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED SETS). BERRY, MARY
EXTRACTS OF THE JOURNALS AND CORRESPONDENCE OF MISS BERRY FROM THE YEAR 1783 TO 1852
London: Longmans Green and Co 1865. FIRST EDITION. 222 x 146 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 3/4". Three volumes extended to six. Edited by Lady Theresa Lewis. <br/> EXCEPTIONALLY PRETTY CRIMSON CRUSHED MOROCCO HANDSOMELY GILT BY MORRELL signed on front inner dentelles covers bordered with double rules raised bands spines gilt in compartments featuring drawer pull and cinquefoil cornerpieces and elegant floral centerpiece elaborately gilt inner dentelles top edge gilt other edges rough trimmed. EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH MORE THAN 275 ENGRAVED PLATES 30 of them views the rest portraits four of the plates folding and eight in color. One plate with small skillfully repaired tear at fore edge a few leaves and a dozen plates with sprinkled foxing isolated light offsetting and minor stains and soiling in the text but AN EXTREMELY FINE SET THE LOVELY BINDINGS UNUSUALLY BRIGHT AND VIRTUALLY UNWORN and internally very fresh and clean.<br/> <br/> This lavishly illustrated and handsomely bound set documents the very long and meaningful life of a spinster devoted to her father and her sister—and to literature. Mary Berry 1763-1852 grew up in a family of modest fortune yet she knew a great many important people including Princess Caroline of Wales the estranged wife of the Regent their daughter Princess Charlotte and the author Mme. de Stael who described Mary as "by far the cleverest woman in England." Mary met Lord Byron and Napoleon but her greatest friend was Horace Walpole the society wit letter-writer and builder of the neo-gothic extravaganza Strawberry Hill. Walpole who met Berry and her younger sister Agnes when they were in their twenties became so fascinated by their wit and wisdom that he persuaded them to settle with their father near him at "Little Strawberry Hill" which he bequeathed to them in his will. He left them his manuscripts as well and Mary Berry became the editor of his works. She also authored a play and a study of English and French society but our collection of her journal entries and letters put together by Lady Theresa Lewis 1803-65 is Mary Berry's most enduring legacy. The journal begins when Mary at 20 sets out with her father and Agnes for a tour of Holland Switzerland and Italy where she looks at paintings attends plays and records the ups and downs of stagecoach travel. The letters and entries in her journal written until her death give a rare picture of her times and her clever and endearing personality. At the same time some entries are melancholic in which she attributes falling short of achievements commensurate with the level of her abilities and never experiencing marriage and motherhood. Besides charming portraits of the Berry sisters the illustrations in our expanded set depict the authors they read Dryden for example the painters whose works they viewed the many notable figures they met or gossiped about royalty politicians actresses people of fashion and views of the places they visited. Our lovely set was produced by the London bindery of W. T. Morrell established about 1861 as successor to the firm begun by Francis Bedford who in turn had taken over the famous bindery of Charles Lewis. Prideaux in her "Modern Bookbindings" published in 1906 says that Morrell at that time had a very large business that supplied "all the booksellers with bindings designed by his men" bindings that were "remarkable for their variety and merit." The six volumes here look remarkably attractive on the shelf. Longmans, Green, and Co unknown

(LOWRIE, Henry Berry). Mrs Mary C Norment, Col AF Olds A F
The Lowrie History as Acted in part by Henry Berry Lowrie the Great North Carolina bandit with biographical sketch of his associates. Being a Complete History of the Modern Robber Band in the County of Robeson and State of North Carolina
Lumberton N.C.: Lumbee Publishing Company / Freeman Printing Company 1909. Softcover. Near Fine. Fourth edition of the Norment account; and first edition with the updated history of Robeson County with particular emphasis on the Tuscarora and Lumbee Indians by Olds. Octavo. 192pp. illustrated from photographs. Illustrated printed brown wrappers. Slight loss at the spine ends but a handsome else near fine copy. Henry Berry Lowrie of mixed Native American Portuguese and probably African-American blood was made an outlaw in part to escape conscription in the Confederate forces in the Civil War and for possessing firearms which mixed race people were forbidden to own since the Nat Turner Rebellion and led a gang of similarly stigmatized blacks and Native Americans in North Carolina and was considered something of a Robin Hood figure. After the War Lowrie and his gang while by no means angels engaging in robbery and murder of establishment figures fought against the reinforcement of white supremacy by reconstruction officials and gained the sympathy and protection of the non-white population. While most of the gang was eventually killed or captured Henry Berry Lowrie's fate in true legendary fashion was disputed: some saying he died cleaning his shotgun others that he escaped and was occasionally seen in the area. This initial account by Mary Norment whose husband was killed by the Lowries while unsympathetic is nevertheless compelling. Usually found rebound and this copy is very scarce the wrappers.

[African Methodist Episcopal Church]: Berry, Llewellyn L
Annual Report of L.L. Berry Secretary-Treasurer of Missions of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to the Board of Managers mimeographed caption title
N.p. but New York City 1939. Very good. 20pp. of mimeographed text printed on rectos only stapled. Some dust-soiling and uneven toning to outer leaves soft central vertical fold throughout. A rare annual report authored by L.L. Berry secretary-treasurer of the New York-based Missionary Department of the A.M.E. Church for the year 1938-39. Llewellyn L. Berry 1876-1954 was born in Hampton Virginia and graduated from Hampton Institute. He served as pastor of various A.M.E. churches in North Carolina and Virginia between 1908 and 1933 before spending the last twenty-one years of his life as Secretary-Treasurer of his denomination's Home and Foreign Mission Department. The present report contains an opening message by Berry as well as sections on missionaries who have passed away in the last year "Visits to the Foreign Field" reporting on official visits to "all the mission fields in Africa" a separate section on the group's "Cuban Mission" which Berry attended a section on the the Voice of Missions the organization's official periodical and more. Most of the latter half of the report is comprised of a detailed financial report of the Missionary Department before Berry adds an optimistic conclusion. According to OCLC Columbia University is the only institution holding any annual reports from Berry with copies from 1933-34 and 1940-48; we could locate no institutional holdings for the present year. unknown

Manual for Primary Grades Including Outline by Lessons with Suggestions for Teaching White's New Course in Art Instruction
Boston: Prang Educational Company 1894. Hardcover. Very good. First thus 1894. Cloth 8vo 176pp. Very Good with light soil rubbing to the corners and spine ends a few instances of discoloration or soil from use. Previous owner's signature to the front flyleaf else clean and unmarked. <br />The book popular art education exercises modeled after the Froebel gifts including paper folding and cutting stick laying blackboard drawing and clay modeling. It also offers a thorough course for teaching color that incorporates visual tactile and language exercises. <br /> <br />Despite espousing the superiority of art education that did not rely on rote copying exercises Turner accepted the job of producing a new version of White's Course in Art Instruction for the American Book Company in 1891 along with four young art educators--Nathanial Berry Elizabeth Perry Jessie Prince--who referred to themselves as "the syndicate." Bailey was a state agent with influence over art education in Massachusetts where a years-running competition with Prang came to a head when Prang bought out the American Book Company acquiring evidence of Bailey's involvement in the production and coercing a more cooperative climate for Prang's books in MA schools.

[Berry, Marie-Caroline, Duchess of]; [Andrieux, Francois-Guillaume Jean Stanislaus]
LES ÉTOURDIS
Paris: Vente 1816. Fine. Royal wedding edition of this popular pre-Revolution comedy issued on the occasion of the marriage of Princess Marie-Caroline and the Duc de Berry - and from the library of the Duchess herself who famously sold her books after her failed coup in 1832. The Duchess's wedding occurred only a year after the restoration of the royal House of Bourbon in 1815 following Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo. On that occasion a special performance of Andrieux's 1787 play was performed for the Duchess a devotee of the theater. This rare edition was printed as a memento of that event which was to have massive implications in French history. <br /> <br /> The Duchess's new husband was the king's brother; after the Duc de Berry's assassination in 1820 their son became the heir apparent to the French throne. But when the July Revolution of 1830 deposed the Bourbons the Duchess and her son went into exile. In 1832 however the Duchess of Berry clandestinely returned to France to lead a rebellion becoming "the most wanted woman in France" Samuels. Her coup failed and she was once again exiled; her story would later be dramatized in fiction by Alexandre Dumas as LES LOUVES DE MACHECOUL 1859. <br /> <br /> Realizing she would never return to her beloved library of some 8000 volumes at Chateau Rosny she made the decision to sell it. It was then one of the most famous libraries in France with a tremendous range in philosophy history travel science law theology fiction and theater. This copy's binding and bookplates mark its provenance from the library of the Duchess. It was bound by René Simier 1772-1843 who "had no superior and few rivals during his career" Ramsden 190 with his ticket announcing him as "Binder to the King to Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Berry and to His Royal Highness the Duke of Bordeaux." The binding is in the style the Duchess regularly ordered from Simier featuring her gilt arms on the boards upon a carefully selected full morocco. It further bears the engraved bookplate of Rosny on the unusual pink endpapers. Books from the Duchess's library still appear with some regularity on the market today but rarely with such a close personal connection to the Duchess herself. Contemporary full honey morocco boards stamped in gilt with the arms of the Duchess of Berry bound by René Simier with his ticket "Relieur du Roi de S.A.R. Madame Duchesse de Berry et de S.A.R. Mgr le duc de Bordeaux". Pink glazed endpapers all edges gilt. 4 82 pages. Engraved bookplate of the Bibliothèque de Rosny on front pastedown; bookplates also of Alexis Rouart and Eugène Aubry-Vitet. Only trace rubbing and soil. Vente unknown

Berry 1763-1852 was the editor of the works of Horace Walpole two dramatic plays and A Comparative View of the Social Life of England and France from the Restoration of Charles II to the French Revolution. "These letters are written with such a neglect of style and often of grammar as may disgust the admirers of well-turned periods and they contain such frequent repetitions of homely tenderness as may shock the sentimental readers of the present days. But they evince the enjoyment of happiness built on such rational foundations and so truly appreciated by its possessors as too seldom occurs in the history of the human heart. They are impressed too with the marks of a cheerful mind a social spirit and every indication of a character prepared as well to enjoy the sunshine as to meet the storms of life" Berry p. xix. Lowndes p. III 2155. Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, Paternoster-Row; and James Ridgway, Piccadilly unknown
