ref. 207059[Paris], E. Duverger, imprimeur des actes du gouvernement provisoire, s.d. (1848) placard in-folio oblong de 49 x 62 cm, en feuille.
Folio (265 x 388 mm). 2 parts in one volume. 427, (21); 187, (1) pp. Titles within elaborate allegorical woodcut border signed by Jost Amman. Woodcut headpieces, initials and Feyerabend publisher's mark signed by Tobias Stimmer at end part I. Contemporary full vellum, remnants of four alum-tawed leather ties, spine with four raised bands, headbands in grey, white, and yellow. Stored in custom-made half morocco box. First edition of this collection of the leading histories of the Low Countries, edited by Feyerabend. Fore-edge painting by Cesare Vecellio, depicting a scholar seated at a desk overlooking a landscape with the title "ANNA/LES" below; top and tail edges decorated with abstract line designs. - A rare item from the celebrated library of Dr. Odorico Pillone and his father. Late in the 16th century, Odorico invited Vecellio (first cousin once removed of the master painter Titian, under whom he trained) to decorate a number of books in his library with fore-edge paintings, thereby establishing the earliest known private collection of such paintings. As was Vecellio's preferred style, the painting here is of a scholar, brightly dressed in red and a black hat, centered on the fore-edge and additionally visible on the closed edge. - The histories contained are by Jacques Meyer (Part I, Flanders), Adrian Baarland (II, Brabant), G. Geldenhouwer (II, Holland), Jacques Marchand (II, Flanders), and L. Guicciardini (II, in Latin); also, shorter texts by Philip Galle and G. Candidus on the then-current situation. - Corners insignificantly bumped and rubbed, some worming to edges and spine, hinges and endpapers (with chipping to head of spine). Binding shows some dampstaining and soiling. A few tears to flyleaves. Internally generally clean with occasional insignificant foxing and some dampstaining, chiefly confined to margins, as well as minor text block edgewear. Overall a very good example with the fore-edge painting a little worn but still bright. - Provenance: Odorico Pillone (1503-93); Casteldardo estate (ca. 17th-19th centuries); Bayolle of Venice (early 19th century); Paolo Maresio Bazolle (1874); Sir Thomas Brooke (1830-1908; his bookplate to front pastedown); Humphrey Brooke (early 20th century); Pierre Berès (ca. 1947; his bookplate to front pastedown); Jeff Weber Rare Books; Randall J.

Copper-engraved illustrated title of the Farnese coat of arms of Parma designed by Malossi i.e. Giovanni Battista Trotti 1565-1619 engraved in copper by Francesco Villamena 15660-1624 within an allegorical frame historiated initials and richly embellished throughout with decorative calligraphic woodcut engravings after drawings by Brondolo and engraved by Ferrari. Contemporary full vellum spine expertly repaired minor worming to pastedowns end leaves tidemark to gutter margin through 1st half of textblock w/o the large folding dedicatory engraving very minor worming to spine endpapers still a good copy. First edition of this fascinating work dedicated to Pope Paul V filled with 2370 theses of rational natural and moral philosophy defended at length by the brilliant 15-year old Ottavio Farnese 1598-1643 son of the Duke of Parma displaying a deep understanding of Aristotle and other ancient philosophers. Of particular interest are the wonderfully executed woodcut calligraphic figures throughout the text of sphinxes figures personified allegories musical instruments vegetables plants animals such as turtles storks roosters lions frogs and grasshoppers.No reference this cataloguer could find appears to have identified “Brondulus” possibly G.F. Brondolo. Sadly the year after this brilliant disputation in 1613 Ottavio’s paranoid father the Duke of Parma Ranuncio I Farnese imprisoned him in the notorious Parma La Rocchetta prison stripped him of all his feudal titles and there he languished for the next 30 years dying most likely of the plague in 1643. According to Worldcat listings and descriptive catalogues there appear to be surviving copies with and without the double-page allegorical plate dedicated to Pope Paul V.

1876ref. BK0124Portland Oregon: Himes the Printer 1876. Illustrated broadside printed in red blue and black 12 ½ x 7 inches trimmed at edges and mounted to an album leaf. Tears to paper on verso from mounting with scattered soiling staining and handling wear; quite good overall. An Oregon Centennial broadside issued by Portland printer and later historian George H. Himes printed for the centennial of American independence. The sheet is headed "1776 Shake with 1876!" above clasped hands and a large "JULY FOURTH!" flanked by American flags. A portrait of Benjamin Franklin appears above Himes's enormous trade name while the lower half incorporates the Declaration of Independence within the outline of the Liberty Bell surrounded by thirteen stars and the slogans "THE HOPE OF THE WORLD" and "The Century Just Turned." The broadside repeatedly connects the history of American independence with the printer's trade. Verses surrounding Franklin celebrate him as the archetypal "printer boy" while Himes presents himself as his professional successor. The piece concludes with an optimistic request that customers retain his advertisement for another century: "Please preserve this sheet for reference in 1976 at which time the above named printer will endeavor to provide you with something more elaborate." Himes 1844-1940 had established himself as a printer in Portland by the 1870s advertising under the memorable name "Himes the Printer" at the same No. 5 Washington Street address printed here. He subsequently became an important figure in the preservation of Oregon history serving as a founder of the Oregon Historical Society and for decades as its assistant secretary and curator. An example of this broadside appears to be preserved in the George H. Himes papers at the University of Washington cataloged as a "Patriotic broadside used as printing sample by Himes 1876."

First edition of this rare and inventive numismatic sample book on ancient Greek & Roman coins by the influential British illustrator and noted numismatist. He proclaims in his introduction how he has invented a new process to recreate actual facsimile coins in their original metals as he had found no other printing or reprographic process properly conveyed either the weight or appearance of the coins quite separate from the chromolithograph colour printing process for his very successful Coins of England. The coin specimens appear as they would have in a Victorian cabinet specimen trayHenry Noel Humphreys 1810-1879 was also fascinated with illuminated Medieval manuscripts and began producing beautiful books with painted ornaments by using the beautiful chromolithography process of Owen Jones 1809-1874. However he also had a keen interest in the natural world writing on aquariums butterflies entomology biology and more.
