‎Philes George P. Andrew J. Odell‎

‎Bibliotheca Curiosa: Catalogue of the Library of Andrew J. Odell‎

‎New York: Sears and Cole 1878-1879. AN IMPORTANT EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN COLOR PRINTING. Two volumes complete. A remarkable catalogue of a remarkable collection. Odell focused on bibliography books about books history of printing and the graphic arts and fine printing at a time when few American collectors were interested in these areas. Books in these categories account for well over half of the 2434 lots. There is also a wide selection of extremely rare books in other areas especially the occult including incunables and a few highly important medieval manuscripts. The catalogue itself is notable for two reasons. First there are the precise knowledgeable and extensive descriptions with numerous references to specialized bibliographies: most American book catalogues of this period give the barest information about the items at hand. Second this is certainly the most lavishly-produced American book auction catalogue of the 19th century. It was beautifully printed on fine laid paper with numerous engraved initials headpieces and tailpieces. THIS SET IS THE DELUXE ISSUE ONE OF VERY FEW COPIES PRINTED PRIMARILY FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION with the initials headpieces and tailpieces printed in different colors. Volume II of this deluxe issue is dated 1879 while volume II of the regular issue is dated 1880. The sets of this deluxe issue that reached the market were sold for $10 each a colossal price when we consider that lot 1462 a copy of Bodoni's 1818 Manuale Tipografico sold for $4.50!

‎Empires of Early Latin America Three Volumes in Slipcase: The Maya; The Aztecs; and The Incas‎

‎London: The Folio Society. New with No dust jacket as issued. 2010. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. Three volumes in one slipcase. Publisher's full cloth with a gold-blocked slipcase and individual book designs by Simon Noyes. Illustrated with 72 pages of color and B&W illustrations. The secrets of the ancient Latin Americas the Maya the Aztecs and the Incas revealed in this superb three-volume set. From about the third century AD to the sixteenth when the Europeans arrived and native American civilisation rapidly collapsed three ancient empires - the Maya the Aztecs and the Incas - dominated the region. The history of these early civilizations of Latin America is brought to life.The Maya by Norman HammondAs early as 1588 a Spanish friar had marvelled at the mighty ruins of Uxmal but it was not until 1839 when John Stephens an American travel writer and Frederick Catherwood an English architect set out to explore the lost jungle cities in depth that the full splendour of the Maya was discovered.At the turn of the last century the Maya hieroglyphic script began to be deciphered and large-scale excavations began. Norman Hammond's account reveals the sophistication of the Mayan civilization which reached its apogee between 250 and 900 AD.The Aztecs by Nigel DaviesFor the armies of Hernan Cortes marching down the causeway that joined the fabled city of Tenochtitlan to the mainland it was as if they were approaching 'another Venice'. Tenochtitlan now Mexico City with its great towers and temples was the hub of the vast Aztec empire ruled over by Motecuzoma II.The Aztecs were warriors: they had arrived in the area as nobodies at the beginning of the 14th century built an empire on their skill as mercenaries and maintained it by exacting tribute from their vassal states.It is a combination of sophistication and barbarism that makes the Aztecs so endlessly fascinating - that and the poignancy of Motecuzoma's defeat in 1521 at the hands of Cortes and his conquistadores.The Incas by Nigel DaviesThe Inca empire was founded on rapid expansion over a huge area. Radiating outwards from the capital at Cuzco in southern Peru it spread as far as Ecuador and Argentina.The Incas were great road-builders using a 12500 mile network to move rebellious populations round the empire with messengers running the length of these roads bringing intelligence to their masters. Like the Aztecs the Incas were brought down by a small group of Spaniards. Nigel Davies's history of the Incas is widely regarded as definitive. All three volumes and the slipcase are in perfect pristine unmarked condition in original shrink-wrap. The slipcase itself is in almost perfect condition except for a small dimple on one corner else as new. NEW. Color and B&W Illustrations. Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall. 1136 pp .
