1862ref. 1862SansonEXECUTIONS IN FRANCE Sept Générations d'Exécuteurs 1688-1847: Mémoires des Sanson mis en ordre rédigés et publiés par H. Sanson. Paris: Dupray de la Mahérie 1862-1863. Six volumes each complete with half-title and probably large-paper copies but IV 67/68 with partial loss in lower blank. Tall 8vo unusually clean with hardly any spotting; gilt-stamped leather spines with matching black boards. First edition of this apocryphal memoir of the Sanson family based on family diaries and correspondence by the journalist D'Olbreuse detailing all the major executions from the late 17th century thru middle 19th century. The most famous member of the family is Charles-Henri Sanson 1739–1806 who served as the chief executioner of Paris during the French Revolution. He executed thousands of people—including King Louis XVI Marie Antoinette Danton and Robespierre. He was also closely involved in testing and adopting the guillotine as a more humane method of execution. The family's tenure ended in 1847 when Charles-Henri's grandson Henri-Clément Sanson was dismissed from office and arrested after pawning the family's official guillotine to cover mounting debts and gambling losses.

Of George Murgatroyd Woodward 1760-1809 caricaturist and author the DNB notes that he "later known as Mustard George grew up in a Derbyshire town living with his father and to judge by the evidence of his later writings received a sound education. He took early to caricature ridiculing his neighbours in Derbyshire; a folio of these drawings dated 1781 is in the Derby Local Studies Library among a sizable collection of his prints drawings and book illustrations. His caricatures having caused something of a local stir he persuaded his father to let him seek his fortune in London. "Apart from two caricature prints dated 1785 designed by Woodward and published by him from 28 Cary Street Lincoln's Inn London it was not until 1790 that he made an impact on the London scene. Thereafter his output was copious. The British Museum catalogues list 525 examples of his work from the next twenty years published by Holland Fores Ackermann and latterly Tegg all leading printsellers. These prints designed by Woodward are etched by others-Rowlandson who was his friend and drinking companion Isaac Cruikshank Roberts and Williams. Woodward's original drawings are vigorous. and his value lay in his humorous ideas. "Woodward.might have rivalled Hogarth. Certainly his collaboration with Rowlandson constituted a lively if frivolous commentary on the social scene. Dorothy George described him as 'original prolific varied humorous and good-humoured' and few students of the subject would dispute her conclusion that his death was 'a loss to caricature' George English Political Caricature 1.174" Simon Heneage 'Woodward George Murgatroyd 1760-1809 Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Oxford University Press 2004.

A stout bespectacled lawyer replies: "Suit - ah - Mr. Buckram you did not know me when I practiced in the Courts - I could have shewn you suits that would have puzzled Judge Blackstone himself - none of your simple matters - brim full of Law as a brief bag - intricate as the Temple avenues -& long as Westminster Hall - Shy Clients sometimes - but it would not do with Paul Parchment - sure to have them on way or other. - Once in never out that was my motto."

In reaction to the prevailing trend of Dutch lavishness Sanson favored minimal details focusing rather on accurate cartography than ornament. Pierre Mortier 1661-1711 was a Dutch cartographer engraver and printseller who worked in Amsterdam. He used advanced Dutch printing methods to produce high quality editions of contemporary French maps by cartographers such as De L'Isle Sanson Jaillot de Fer and De Wit.

With 17 copper engraved maps all two page plates each with hand-colored of boundaries. Maps include one of the entire continent then of its various regions as then known plus island groups. Separate maps for China and Japan. Bound in contemporary calf. Condition: Rebacked with joints making this obvious. The original spine was re-mounted with some losses. Its blindstamped decoration of fans is discernible but somewhat vague. We think it is possible this decoration had some gilding or color originally but none survives. Still an interesting and unusual feature in our view. Calf dry and rubbed on spine and joints and edges rubbed. Light to moderate soiling in the margins of many pages and on a few pages the soiling invades inward beyond the margins and also in a few instances the marginal soiling is on the heavier side. There are a few archival tape repairs of small chips three on the title leaf one on the following leaf and after that wormhole edge damage was left untouched. That said the defect and repair isn't as glaring as it might sound. The edges elsewhere can have short spans of a chewed appearance. As a book generally we would consider this copy at best Good. As far as the maps go independent of the book we would regard them as Very Good. A few of the maps might individually fall short of such grading; on the other hand all the maps of this copy one can easily imagine someone enthusiastically framing even without an attempt to clean them up.

He began his training in Amsterdam in the art of mezzotint and soon began working closely with Gerard Valck. The two took advantage of the bustling cartographic trade in the city and quickly expanded their business from portraits and prints into maps and globes. In 1700 Schenk grew the business further by moving to Leipzig Germany and opening a shop. As his sons and grandson returned to the Netherlands to become active engravers as well the Schenk firm developed into one of the best-known publishing houses in 18th-century Amsterdam.
