1743réf. 64781-V6-1Leyden: S. Luchtmans 1743. Half perkament. 4to. Gegraveerde titelprent 'J. Punt inv. et fecit 1742'. 1469 4 pp. plus uitvouwbare platen. - Ruggen en platten wat geschaafd en iets vlekkig hoeken wat gebutst knepen iets los binnenwerk her en der iets vochtvlekkig de marges wat krap afgesneden. Compleet met 80 genummerde uitvouwbare platen plus een ongenummerde uitvouwbare kaart tussen pp. 1326 en 1327 De uitklapbare gegraveerde platen illustreren het proces van het distilleren de kunst van het meten en de huischemie. Onder de S vindt men ook de "Geheimen" waaronder waterwaarzeggerij hoe goud uit vergulde lijsten te halen en de "geheimen van Hippocrates". Andere gravures tonen tuinontwerpen planten en zelfs een ontwerp voor een open haard. De meeste van de tachtig uitvouwbare gegraveerde platen illustreren echter het vangen van vogels vissen en dieren - niet alleen konijnen en hazen maar ook wolven en vossen allemaal met behulp van een grote verscheidenheid aan vallen en ingewikkelde machines. De tekst geeft vooral advies over het houden en verzorgen van huisdieren de bijenteelt en het kappen van bomen. Het Huishoudelijk woordboek is ook een kookboek met veel recepten voor maaltijden en huismedicijnen al doet de titel dat niet vermoeden en ook tips en trucs om je schoonheid en gezondheid te behouden. Het bleef gedurende de 18e eeuw erg populair in heel Europa en ook in Japan waar de Nederlandse vertaling veel in gebruik was. Het werd begin 19e eeuw zelfs in het Japans vertaald. S.

1930réf. 184460Shanghai: Kelly and Walsh Limited 1930. The Hunt started off from Misery Flats; / Some rode in toppers some billycock hats First edition of this celebration of the Shanghai paper hunt the expatriate community's answer to fox hunting. The text is supported by detailed maps of Shanghai's rural environs and photographs from the private collections of members as well as drawings provided by the Shanghai-based artist Edmund Toeg and the cartoonist H. W. G. Hayter. Equestrian pursuits were extremely popular in Republican China's international settlements. Businessmen diplomats military officers and the well-to-do used them to affirm their status and build connections and Shanghai was perpetually gripped by a "mania" Weirather p. 59 for racing. Founded in 1863 the Paper Hunt Club was one of the oldest expatriate groups in the city and by 1930 it included members from 19 different nationalities. This history anthologizes a large amount of information from the club's archives. A special section pays tribute to Ah Pau the head boy responsible for laying the paper trail for riders to follow. Ah Pau was invaluable when dealing with locals who objected to riders careering across their land: "In his dealings with his fellow countrymen he is usually the embodiment of imperturbability and good humour but when their rapacity and obstructiveness pass all reasonable bounds he lashes them with stinging invective and withers them with biting scorn" p. 29. Quarto 280 x 222 mm. Large halftone frontispiece after photograph of Christmas 1929 hunt by Ah Fong Photography Studio; 51 plates 2 colour 1 folding many after drawings by Edmund Toeg and 2 after caricatures by Henry William Goodenough Hayter; 6 folding maps of riding country in and around Shanghai; pen and ink illustrations by Toeg in text; red embossed vignette of horse and rider on title page.

1848réf. 182652London: Longman & Co. 1848. One of the "supreme examples of Victorian Gothic" First edition of this icon of 19th-century book design. It is one of a handful of titles that showcase Humphrey's black so-called papier-mâché binding and displays a fantastic suite of his chromolithographs. Such bindings which imitate carved ebony were cast in plaster over a papier mâché mould. "The result was splendidly gothic and impressive" and they represent "perhaps the biggest triumph among all the ingenuities of Victorian commercial book-binding" McLean pp. 72 & 151. This design was inspired by a binding of carved ivory on a psalter in the British Museum. Humphreys 1810-1879 was also heavily influenced by Italian and Flemish manuscripts of the Middle Ages. The skill of the chromolithography demonstrated here is masterly and improves upon that of his previous titles. Octavo. Chromolithograph title page heightened in gilt 31 chromolithograph leaves with text and borders in medieval style 4 pp. letterpress at end. Original black plaster boards with elaborate gothic relievo design by Humphreys incorporating six medallion vignettes depicting miracles black embossed morocco spine spine and both boards lettered in relief gilt inner dentelles Fountain pattern marbled endpapers gilt edges. Housed in a custom blue cloth box. Relievo crisp and unrubbed boards superficially cracked at edges lower corners bumped letterpress pages foxed plates bright. A near-fine copy.
