Number 2682 of an unspecified print run. 'The 1939 edition of Ramsay's Catalogue eclipses all previous records. Never in the history of the building industry in Australia has a publication of this size and importance been attempted much less achieved and we are justly proud of its appearance' introductory note. An article in 'The Argus' Thursday 13 June 1939 announced that the work 'has just been published'; never in the history of the building industry in Australia was there a worse time to launch such an ambitious project than the eve of the Second World War! The article continues: 'The catalogue is not sold to the public but is issued to architects' offices throughout Australia'. The complete and long-term disruption to the industries featured in this catalogue must go a long way towards explaining why this wonderful time-capsule is very scarce we locate only three copies in Trove. The next edition of the catalogue was not published until 1947. Ramsay Standard Catalogue Service hardcover

1667rif. ABC_508101667. Ca. 23.5 x 26.5 cm and ca. 20 x 24 cm. With a woodcut decorated initial on each ordinance. Two closely related Dutch Republic broadsides both concerned with the suppression of fraud in the spice trade under the monopoly and protection of the Dutch East India Company. Together they form a vivid legal response to widespread commercial adulteration of imported spices particularly pepper nutmeg and mace reflecting both the economic importance and vulnerability of the Dutch spice trade in the 17th century. Both texts are issued as public ordinances intended for proclamation and posting throughout the provinces and both impose heavy fines and confiscation for violations alongside rewards for informants and penalties distributed between officials and local relief funds.The first proclamation from 16 September 1667 responds to reports of severely compromised pepper entering the Dutch Republic via England explicitly referencing the aftermath of the Great Fire of London. The text describes burnt pepper imported after the disaster which is said to retain only the outward appearance of pepper while being stripped of all quality and even emitting a foul smell. Authorities warn that such material is being mixed with genuine spice and sold fraudulently undermining both consumers and the reputation of the VOC.The second later and more extensive proclamation of 22 November 1669 significantly broadens the scope of earlier regulations. Rather than focusing solely on pepper it addresses systematic adulteration across a wide range of spices including pepper nutmeg mace and powdered spice residues. It describes the importation of dust powder and refuse of spices from abroad which are being reprocessed and mixed with genuine goods or artificially manipulated such as being moistened with water to increase weight and deceive buyers.The margins of both of the ordinances are cut short the first ordinance shows some browning and a minor tear. Otherwise in good condition. unknown
1741rif. ABC_50545Amsterdam: Hendrik Boussière 1741. Tipped into a passe-partout. A long sheet ca. 40.5 x 14.5 cm printed on two sides with the woodcut coat of arms of Amsterdam at the head. Exceptionally rare issue of a commodity price current for the Amsterdam market providing merchants with up-to-date market prices for a wide range of goods. This publication was issued every Monday from 1609 onward although comparable price lists are known to have circulated as early as 1585. To regulate the market the guilds of merchants and traders were required to publish standardised price information on a weekly basis. These lists were submitted to the authorities such as the mayor sheriff and aldermen as well as to subscribers but could also be purchased at the stock exchange. They were especially popular among foreign merchants.The present issue dated 13 February 1741 provides a detailed overview of contemporary market prices across a wide range of commodities. These include herbs and spices sugar materials for paint production pharmaceutical goods salt metals and munitions flax and hemp animal skins pitch and tar fish oils tobacco honey and wax as well as various textiles including silks cottons and woollens. It further records prices for butter wines grains and seeds. The list concludes with exchange rates for several currencies. Ephemeral by nature and often discarded after use these publications are now very scarce. We have only been able to trace one other copy of the present issue.The work has been folded in the past the bottom margin has been cut somewhat short with some loss of text.

1781rif. ABC_50510Pressburg =Bratislava 1781. Ca. 46 x 32 cm. With an engraving of Pressburg Bratislava and an engraved title. A rare and highly evocative example of an 18th-century Preis-courant or commodity price current published in Pressburg modern-day Bratislava capital of Slovakia. Such documents produced at regular intervals often weekly served as indispensable instruments of commerce providing merchants and their correspondents with up-to-date market prices for a wide range of goods.The present work dated 2 April 1781 is a particularly attractive sheet. It combines a finely engraved panoramic view of the city with a densely organised tabular listing of commodities arranged in four columns on both sides. Prices are carefully entered by hand in ink in florins fl. and kreuzer kr. reflecting the customary monetary system of the Habsburg lands. The mixture of printed framework and manuscript additions is characteristic of privately published price currents which were distributed rapidly and updated locally to reflect current market conditions.The range of goods listed points to the thriving trade in raw materials medicinal substances and colonial produce. As was common practice in the 18th century many items are recorded using Latin nomenclature underscoring the documents relevance to apothecaries wholesalers and international merchants alike. Such lists offer a vivid cross-section of early modern trade from local agricultural products to exotic imports circulating along established commercial routes.At the time of publication Pressburg occupied a position of considerable importance within the Habsburg Monarchy. Situated on the Danube it functioned as a major trading hub linking Vienna Buda and the wider regions of Central Europe. Until 1783 it also served as the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary and as a major administrative and cultural centre where German predominated as the language of official and commercial communication. Its mercantile community comprising traders professionals and artisans played a key role in sustaining long-distance trade networks.The work has been folded the folds are slightly torn along the edges.

1762rif. ABC_508791762. Various sizes. Ad 1-3: Contemporary sturdy paper wrappers sewn on 3 vellum supports; ad 4: the 12 documents are held together by a narrow paper wrapper with the text: "Onafgedaane Indiësche zaaken concentreerende de Amphioen Societeyt" and a string. With 12 manuscript documents and a manuscript on paper in 2 different hands. 15 1 blank; 3 ll. Collection of thirteen Dutch manuscripts concerning the Amfioensociëteit Amfioen Society documenting both its establishment in 1745 and its dissolution half a century later. Founded by the Dutch East India Company VOC to maintain its monopoly on the opium trade in the Dutch East Indies the Amfioensociëteit controlled one of the colony's most profitable monopolies until its liquidation in 1794.The earliest manuscript ads 1-3 contains the charter octrooi granted to the society for the period 1745-1755 together with its renewal for 1755-1765. Although the original charter was printed in Batavia in 1745 and survives in a single known copy that edition does not include the renewal. The present manuscript further contains a third text added in a different hand and dated November 1762 concerning the management of the society's outstanding affairs. Written on paper bearing the watermark of the VOC Chamber of Amsterdam it was probably intended for official administrative use.The remaining twelve documents relate to the financial settlement following the dissolution of the society in 1794. Most date from 1793 1794 and 1797 with one document dated 1807 reflecting the prolonged liquidation process. They concern the distribution of assets among shareholders outstanding debts and other administrative matters arising from the winding up of the company. Several documents are signed by Pieter van de Weert dates unknown cashier of the Amfioensociëteit while others mention Jacob Mossel 1704-1761 governor-general of the Dutch East Indies and the society's first director and Gerard Maximiliaan Taets van Amerongen 1727-1788 who was married to Mossel's daughter. Although several documents are headed "Copie" they are contemporary manuscript records rather than later transcripts many containing calculations annotations and other traces of active administrative use. Together they document the final years of the Amfioen Sociëteit and the administration of its dissolution.The wrappers of ads 1-3 are somewhat water stained with worm holes in the back wrapper and final leaf. The leaves are somewhat water stained especially the 3 final leaves an ink stain on leaf 12; the remaining 12 documents are folded several with small tears in the margins without loss of text occasional mild soiling. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Landwehr VOC 1449 printed copy of ad 1; STCN 240022416 1 copy; Wit Herman de 2012. Aandeelhouders van de opgeheven Amfioensociëteit in 1801. hardcover

1876rif. 195373London: Eyre and Spottiswoode 1876. First edition of this collection of official documents and despatches concerning the expedition of Colonel Horace Browne launched to traverse China from west to east and consolidate the gains made by the Sladen expedition of 1868. Browne's party rendezvoused in Bhamo with the westward-travelling Augustus Margary whose murder soon after sparked a diplomatic crisis between Britain and China. Browne 1831-1914 whose most memorable feature was his large moustache left Calcutta in November 1874 and met Margary the following January. Continuing on to Yunnan the expedition encountered unexpected Chinese hostility. Scouting the route Margary and his local assistants were killed and Browne also coming under attack reversed course retreating to the safety of Rangoon. The ensuing crisis was settled by the 1876 Chefoo Convention which granted Britain further commercial concessions in China. Quarto 320 x 207 mm. Diagram and tables in text.
