1780Best.-Nr. 4558Paris: Chez Onfroy 1780. Two volumes in one first edition. A rare guide to the state of Great Britain from a French perspective. Volume one was for 1780 volume two for 1781. It would seem that there were plans for this to be an annual review but if so this doesn't appear to have happened as Worldcat only records these two years. Full leather binding with gilt decoration to the spine. The label and one panel of the gilt to the spine has been pulled away leaving some leather but no surface see photos. The rest of the boards are in good slightly bumped condition. Inside there is an owner's signature to the end paper. The rest is clean and tidy. The half-title reads "Etat de l'Angleterre pour l'anneÌe 1780." viii 178 2 pages. The first volume conforms to OCLC: 40428559. This is followed by another half title for the year 1781 and a second volume of the book. viii 199 3. pages. This second volume conforms to OCLC: 630334412. Both volumes are full of the in depth information required by researchers. Including names addresses ranks etc. For example there is a list of the names and addresses of all the London bankers accounts of the King and court names of ships and vessels in the navy etc. etc. Text in French. 170 by 100mm 6¾ by 4 inches. No other copies available to purchase at the time of cataloguing. . Deux volumes en un première édition. Un guide de l'état de la Grande-Bretagne d'un point de vue français. Le premier volume porte sur l'année 1780 le second sur l'année 1781. Il semblerait qu'il était prévu que ce soit une revue annuelle mais si c'est le cas cela ne semble pas s'être produit car Worldcat n'enregistre que ces deux années. Reliure en plein cuir avec décoration dorée au dos. L'étiquette et un panneau de la dorure au dos ont été arrachés laissant un peu de cuir mais pas de surface voir les photos. Le reste des planches est en bon état légèrement bosselé. A l'intérieur la signature d'un propriétaire figure sur la page de garde. Le reste est propre et bien rangé.

Best.-Nr. 64242c.1880. . Albumen print. Very good tonal range and in good condition pasted on original mount. Dimensions: 135 x 230mm. 5.25 x 9 inches. A nineteenth-century albumen print of the statue of the Nile God discovered in 1513 in Campo Marzio and displayed thereafter in the Vatican Museums. The Nile is portrayed as a venerable old man reclining sinuously on his side with a cornucopia of fruit in his left arm and ears of wheat in his right hand. Egypt is represented by the presence of a sphinx on which the figure of the Nile supports himself and by some exotic animals. The scene is enlivened by sixteen children who allude to the sixteen cubits of water by which the Nile rises for its annual flood. The base of the statue is decorated with a Nile landscape incorporating familiar images of pygmies hippopotamuses and crocodiles seen throughout Romano-Egyptian art. The sculpture was probably inspired by a monumental statue of the Nile in black basalt a masterpiece of Hellenistic Greek sculpture described by Pliny the Elder as being within the Forum of Peace.
