In 1733 at the age of six he was made a field marshal and the next year a lieutenant general. In 1740 he received the Order of the Toison dÕOr from the king and in 1742 the Order of the Holy Spirit. He served in the military under his maternal uncle the Duke of Noailles and fought brilliantly at Dettingen in 1743 and Fontenoy in 1745. PenthiÂvre was one of the wealthiest men of his day and probably the richest in France. He was known to be very charitable. Bibliographers variously attribute authorship of Le Comte de Dunois to Mme. Desjardins Mme. de Villedieu Comtesse Henriette de Murat or to Pierre dÕOrtigue de VaumoriÂre.

Oder Der Welt Schau-PlatzVorstellend Verschiedene sonderbahre Begebenheiten / Heiliger berühmter Leute / wie auch vornehmer Gebürgen / Meeren / Flüssen / Insulen / Städten / Vestungen / Thieren / Vögeln / Fischen / Gewächsen und Raritäten / etc.A rare and visually compelling Augsburg Welt-Schau-Platz of 1700: an illustrated Baroque theatre of history geography natural history and marvels presenting the world as a succession of sacred historical and extraordinary phenomena for the contemplation of the God-loving curious spectator.Printed at Augsburg by Jacob Koppmayer the work brings together Biblical and universal chronology with geography cities and fortifications the Ottoman and Eastern Mediterranean worlds animals plants sea creatures and wonders. Its strongest feature is the extensive surviving suite of 26 separate engraved leaves many carrying two subjects including maps topographical views historical scenes and natural-history curiosities.The 1700 Theatrum Mundi is closely connected with the remarkable group of Augsburg publications issued in 1693 under the unresolved pseudonyms Philo Chronographus and Philo Cosmographus. Material within the present copy itself retains the date 1693 while numerous engraved subjects correspond with the earlier Arca Temporum Reserata Trinum Marinum and Arca Temporum Mundi Reserata. The precise 1700 edition is independently recorded in the THEATRA repertory and survives in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek.CONDITION COLLATION & COPY NOTESAn attractive and highly individual surviving copy in old quarter vellum over patterned paper-covered boards. Vellum with general age-soiling marking and handling wear; decorative paper to boards considerably rubbed scuffed and abraded with wear to edges and corners consistent with age and use. Binding remains serviceable and visually appealing.Title page present and clearly printed with large ornamental woodcut initials incorporated into the title design. Text predominantly in German blackletter with decorative woodcut initials and typographical ornament.Internally with general age-toning occasional spotting handling marks and minor staining. Engraved leaves generally well preserved with impressions remaining clear and strongly legible. The illustrations are uncoloured.Incomplete. The volume retains the 1700 general title and introductory material together with the complete surviving 31-page chronological section ending ENDE and a substantial suite of 26 engraved leaves. Comparison with the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek copy of the 1700 edition and with complete examples of the related 1693 three-part issue shows that a substantial quantity of text and a number of engraved leaves are no longer present.The surviving illustration suite nevertheless preserves many of the most engaging subjects associated with the work: maps of the Aegean and Black Sea regions Ottoman and Eastern Mediterranean geography cities and fortifications Moscow and the K - For full description please contact the seller Printed by Jacob Koppmayer, Stadt-Buchdrucker hardcover

1950ref. 67276Created in Canada: Various 1950. Leather and cloth over boards. Labels range from fair to very good. Hardcover 1/4 leather purple over cloth grey over boards. A collector's album with 31 numbered cardstock leaves originally meant to collect greetings cards from the "Imperial City" series but instead has been repurposed to hold 873 separate labels from predominately Canadian companies. Dates range roughly between the 1920s-1950s with a few earlier and later outliers. The labels cover a wide range of products but the majority come from alcohol and beverages candy spices and food and household sundries. Most of the labels are glued into the album with a few stapled in. The glue has held for the most part with a couple labels starting to come loose. The last five pages contain several excised pages from an unknown source depicting Canadian military regiments. General condition of the labels runs from fair to very good; these labels were cut out assembled and displayed with care. There has been some bleed through from the glue on some of the leaves. The album itself is in fair condition - the cardstock pages are bound tight but the boards are considerably worn. . Various unknown

Massiliensi Marseille 1808 410x280mmen latin IV dont le titre gravé et colorié à la main 68 pages VI dont l’index chaque page soigneusement enluminée et pourvue d’un double encadrement à l’encre rouge enserrant un épais encadrement colorié en vert nombreux culs-de-lampe dessinés et coloriés avec 1 gravure à pleine page collée sur la page 4 texte en latin manuscrit en plusieurs teintes rouge noir et vert tranches dorées garde papier marbré à coquilles solide reliure parchemin pièce de titre en maroquin noir sur le dos.Exemplaire unique de ce recueil d’oraisons liturgie de la Messe finement exécuté à la main et soigneusement enluminé. Près d’une cinquantaine de prières “destinées à être lues avant la bénédiction du Saint Sacrement” ont été retranscrites avec un soin extrême en plusieurs couleurs à la main d’une superbe calligraphie très nette. Chaque prière est illustrée d’un en-tête qui sans être d’une exécution esthétiquement irréprochable rend toujours la page visuellement très impressionante. Certains en-têtes sont de véritables emblèmes religieux triangle de la trinité croix dorée tête de mort attributs pontificaux colombe et flammes représentant le Saint Esprit etc. Le titre gravé et la gravure collée à même la page 4 Ressurection de Jésus ont été réalisés par le Père Forcade dont on ne signalera qu’un talent modeste. La gravure porte la date “mens. Apr. 1818” ce qui nous porte à croire que la date figurant sur la page de titre est incorrecte d’autant plus que la prière de la page 23 est dédiée à “Ludovici Regis nostri” Louis XVIII régna de 1815 à 1824; en 1808 Napoléon était encore empereur. Un autre roi “Carolus Rex noster” est mentionné dans la “Prière pour le Roi” de la page 63. Il s’agirait donc de Charles X repoussant la date d’exécution de notre ouvrage entre 1824 et 1830.
