Orders Issued by the Board of Customs Treasury and Queen 1846-1848

1846réf. 775461846. Great Britain: S.n. 1846-1848. Great Britain: S.n. 1846-1848. A Glimpse into the Daily Operations of Victorian British Customs Board of Customs. Great Britain. Collection of Orders Relating to Commerce and Trade Issued by the Board of Customs Treasury Privy Council and Queen. Great Britain: S.n. 1846-1848. 357 ff. Folio 13-1/4" x 8-1/4"; 33.6 x 20.9 cm. Contemporary three-quarter vellum over plain paper-covered boards early hand-lettered title to spine edges of bound-in sheets untrimmed. Light soiling to exterior vellum starting to crack through paper corners bumped and worn front hinge split causing front board and spine to separate from text block rear hinge just starting. Most items printed on blue paper and docketed "On the Service of the Customs./ Collector and Comptroller/ at blank" in print some dockets completed "Hull" in ink. Light toning to interior light soiling to edges single hole through each item near top from prior posting affecting text legibility slightly impacted in places occasional light foxing a few partial cracks to text block a few items loosening but secure early manuscript notes signatures and/or corrections to many items some with postmarks or manuscript dockets. $1500. An extraordinary and remarkably detailed insider compilation of official orders broadsides circulars and departmental notices documenting the day-to-day administrative machinery of British global trade at the dawn of the High Victorian era. Likely assembled contemporaneously by a senior customs officer-with several entries pointing specifically to operations out of the port of Hull-this volume captures a pivotal moment of institutional transformation as Great Britain dismantled long-standing mercantilist protections and embraced free trade. Spanning the crucial years between 1846 and 1848 the collection highlights the radical liberalization of British commercial policy triggered by Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel's repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. As trade tariffs were slashed and imperial commerce exploded in volume the Board of Customs was forced to adapt rapidly to unprecedented administrative logistical and legal challenges. Many of the orders in this volume are apparently unrecorded with no copies located on OCLC or Library Hub. unknown books

Eighteenth Century European Views of Arab Dress: "Arabes" after Allain Manesson Mallet 1748

1748réf. 143711748. Mallet Allain Manesson. "Arabes" 1748 presents two male figures identified as Arabs through the conventions of European geographical and costume illustration derived from Mallet's Description de l'Univers. Mallet's original work first published in Paris in 1683 combined maps city views portraits and images of dress with accounts of the customs religions and governments attributed to different nations; its second volume treated Asia. The engraving records the visual vocabulary through which Arab clothing and appearance were presented to European readers within this encyclopedic geographical tradition. Mallet Allain Manesson. "Arabes." 1748. Engraving. Overall page 10" x 7.25"; image 5.5" x 7.5". Beneath a decorative banner lettered "Arabes" two standing men wear contrasting garments against a mountainous landscape. One wears a buttoned tunic overcoat pointed shoes and a large turban; he holds a decorative cane while resting his other hand at his belt. The second wears a decorated collared tunic beneath an overcoat pointed shoes and a tall head covering from which a long length of fabric descends. The paired figures allow differences in headwear garment ornament and accessories to be compared within a single composition. The plate derives from an illustrated geographical work conceived by Mallet a French military engineer and mathematics teacher whose Description de l'Univers organized contemporary geographical knowledge alongside images of the "divers habillemens" of different peoples. The "Arabes" composition therefore records an eighteenth-century European printed conception of Arab dress rather than serving as direct ethnographic documentation of a specific Arab population or locality. Overall very good condition. The combination of costume detail and explicit ethnic captioning documents how Arab peoples were visually categorized for European audiences in early modern geographical publishing. unknown books

Safavid Persia: European Depictions of Persian Dress Cavalry Weapons and Material Culture 1720

1720réf. 143601720. Atlas historique engraving of Persian costume and customs 1720 records an early eighteenth-century European presentation of dress military equipment horsemanship and tobacco use in Persia during the late Safavid period. Rather than presenting a single landscape or event the plate assembles male and female costume hairstyles turbans footwear weapons armor horses and smoking implements into a comparative visual survey. Its attention to cavalry equipment and what the accompanying description calls the "militia and their weapons" and the "offensive and defensive" equipment worn by soldiers at war documents the categories through which European geographical publications described Persian society and military culture. Atlas historique. Description of Persia and Persian costumes. 1720. Sheet size 51 x 43 cm. The engraving contains numerous individual figures and objects arranged for comparison including four men in different Persian costumes women in period dress examples of female hairstyles turbans and shoes and representations of tobacco smoking and pipes including a hookah. Military subjects include armor weapons cavalry horses an elaborate bow and equestrian equipment. The combination of human figures with separately illustrated articles of clothing arms and personal equipment allows individual elements of Persian dress and material culture to be examined across the sheet. Published in 1720 the engraving dates to the final years of Safavid rule when European atlases and geographical compilations increasingly combined maps with images and written accounts of the peoples clothing military practices and customs of regions beyond Europe. Here Persian men and women cavalry weapons tobacco consumption and dress are organized as subjects of geographical and ethnographic description providing evidence of how Persia was visually classified for an early eighteenth-century European audience. The detailed renderings of costume armor weapons horses hairstyles and smoking implements also preserve period representations of material culture associated with Safavid Persia. Very good condition. unknown books

19TH-CENTURY MAQUETTE BOOK SOUVENIR OF COSTUMES

1820réf. D6906N.p. but Germany possibly Liechtenstein c. 1820. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to 245 x 165mm. A compilation of 73 brightly colored watercolors many with manuscript captions in German some are dated for the costume all clipped and mounted into book and illustrating the costumes and attributions of court officials knights Templar Tartar costume St. George on horseback German orders of nobility also for Spain France Holland Italian Turkish Egypt and Babylon and other various orders as in Order of the Garter in England and France and religious dress of ordained and lay members of various orders including German Italian Spanish and Cistercian Carmelite Carthusian Capuchin and Franciscan monks. Also Jesuit pilgrims and sisters of the Benedictine Sylvestrine and Cistercian among other lesser-known orders and historical figures such as Leopold III of Austria and Louis III of Tremoilles. Early 19th-century half calf over imitation silk cloth-covered boards and decorative endpapers spine with label COSTUME; some light foxing most severe at beginning otherwise the colors remaining extraordinarily fresh and bright. Armorial bookplate from the Princely house of Liechtenstein on front pastedown. Unique compilation of 73 expertly executed hand-colored watercolors of various religious knightly and official orders with a bookplate of the royal arms of Liechtenstein. Each figure is executed with extraordinary talent and is superbly hand-colored in a range of washes; many of these costumes have changed very little and have a history stretching back to medieval times. In the twentieth century an interest in costume and fashion books was spurred on by the dawning Victorian age in England in the 1830s which then spread to the continent. Each picture in this unique set is an individual work of art full of expression and with strikingly attractive faces and gestures. The expert attention given to each work of art strongly suggests this book was a maquette for a larger print-run of a souvenir book of costumes. Captions are in German and early provenance points to possible creation in the principality of Liechtenstein. One can think of the principalitys official motto For God Prince and Fatherland and see how all these official garments best represent a history of European court and important religious connections for an established royal line such as Liechtenstein. Perhaps this book was once in the royal home of the Johann I Joseph Prince of Liechtenstein who had fourteen children and it may have belonged to his son Prince Friedrich Adalbert 1807-1885 who later became the 1018th Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece in Austria. With interesting connections to the royal house of Liechtenstein and 73 examples of hand-colored historic costumes this truly is a unique survival. hardcover books

COLECCIÓN DE TRAGES DE ESPAÑA

1832réf. ST19313Madrid: Real Calcografía 1832-36. 240 x 160 mm. 9 1/2 x 6 1/4". ELEGANT MODERN RED MOROCCO VERY HANDSOMELY GILT in the style of the period BY ANTOLIN PALOMINO OLALLA hand-signed on front turn-in with swirling cornerpieces and central lozenge raised bands spine panels gilt gilt turn-ins all edges gilt in slightly worn red marbled paper slipcase. With engraved title page and 112 ENGRAVED PLATES by Juan Carrafa after drawings by Jose Ribelles y Helip and ALL WITH CONTEMPORARY HAND COLORING. Colas 646; Lipperheide 1224. Edges of some leaves with faint stains and thumb soiling of no consequence but the finely colored plates beautifully preserved and THE SPARKLING BINDING IN FLAWLESS CONDITION. This is a beautifully bound work filled with exquisitely hand-colored plates depicting early 19th century Spanish costumes. Neither Lipperheide nor Colas identifiy the artist but the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid attributes the images here to the Spanish painter and draughtsman José Ribelles y Helip and identifies the engraver as Juan Carrafa. The plates were originally published by the Royal Academy in 1825 in 14 parts with eight plates per part and the present edition was produced around 1832-36 based on the dates found in the descriptive labels incorporated into two of the plates. The illustrations depict men and women in regional dress from across Spain as well as particular "types" including shepherds fishermen merchants musicians dancers bullfighters smugglers sailors and more. The superb hand coloring enlivens each illustration with vibrant colors and careful attention to shading patterns and accessories. Antolin Palomino Olalla 1909-95 was one of the great Spanish binders of the 20th century. A versatile and meticulous artist teacher and craftsman Palomino Olalla opened his Madrid workshop in 1942 and became especially renowned for his hand-gilding mosaic bindings and marbled paper techniques. He seems to have specialized in binding antiquarian books and attracted important institutional clients as well as discerning bibliophiles such as Bartolomé March Servera. The gilding on the present work is especially elegant and applied with laser precision adding another dimension of pleasure to an already appealing work. The book is uncommonly seen for sale at Anglo-American auctions. Real Calcografía unknown books
