rif. 18941110Leather bound album with 72 large format albumen photographs mounted dos-a-dos on tab-mounted card leaves; leaves measure 10.5 x 14 inches 268 X 322 mm images all measure approximately 8 x 10 inches 200 x 250 mm; album cover detached back strip perished; cards are a little wavy as is often the case with albumen photos; images are all clear with good tone. Also included is a typescript list of the photos with brief descriptions by the collector who purchased them on tour May and June 1890. The first twenty-four photos are from Greece all taken in Athens with the exception of a view of the port of Piraeus and two of Greeks in native dress. A few are signed "Rhomaides" and a few others appear to have the small Rhomaides credit scratched from the plate. The Benaki Musuem and the historical collections of the National Bank of Greece identify ten of the photos as the work of Constantine and Aristotle Romaidis Rhomaides probably the most prolific Greek photographers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; three other photos have either the Rhomaides name or its ghost. The remaining forty-eight are scenes in Constantinople Istanbul and the neighboring shores of the Bosporus. All but seven are signed as the work of Pascal Sebah 1823-1886 or that of his successor Policarpe Joaillier 1848-1904 working as Sebah and Joaillier. hardcover books

Vellum ca. 1606 spine ends restored inner hinges cracking vellum over covers wrinkled. Infrequent light marginal dampstaining but very good. Booklabel of Frederic Huidekoper on rear pastedown. First Edition in Latin of the chief work by this 9th-century Byzantine scholar and Eastern Orthodox church leader consisting of a critical account of 280 works read by him many of which are now lost. The Greek original text was first published in 1600. "To Photios we are indebted for almost all we possess of Ctesias Memnon of Heraclea Conon the lost books of Diodorus Siculus and the lost writings of Arrian. Theology and ecclesiastical history are also very fully represented but poetry and ancient philosophy are almost entirely ignored. It seems that he did not think it necessary to deal with those authors with whom every well-educated man would naturally be familiar. The literary criticisms generally distinguished by keen and independent judgment and the excerpts vary considerably in length. The numerous biographical notes are probably taken from the work of Hesychius of Miletus" Wikipedia article on Photius. Hoffmann III 91; Sarton I 594. . Christoph Mang unknown books
1890rif. 1031341890. PHOTOCHROM ZURICH. Constantinople. Zrich: Photochrom Zrich circa 1890. Oblong folio 16 by 12 inches 30 photochrom images each measuring approximately 9 by 6-1/2 inches and mounted on heavy cardstock; original red velvet blue silk gilt-lettered title centerpiece on front cover brass cornerpieces. $4500.Rare photographic album of Constantinople circa 1890 by the renowned studio of Photochrom Zrich with 30 beautiful mounted vintage photochrom color prints offering exceptional views of majestic mosques palaces and plazas as well as the people of this great city in magnificent velvet binding with brass furniture.This splendid souvenir album of Constantinople contains exquisite color photographic prints of images taken at the turn of the 20th century produced by the revolutionary photochrom process. Photochrom also called the Ac process is ""a very successful form of color photolithography developed in the late 19th century by the Swiss firm of Orell Fssli and used mainly for topographical views; photochroms have almost the appearance of color photographs but through a glass will show a delicate ink pattern which was achieved by a combination of photographic and manual work on grained i.e. lithographic stones being a forerunner therefore of modern screenless offset lithography"" Gascoigne 206. In this process black and white photographic negatives were directly transferred onto lithographic printing plates to produce color prints. These photographs are a high point in late 19th-century photography when albums such as these captivated a world newly spellbound ""by photography's capacity to 'take them there' and bring them directly in contact with the long ago and far away"" Parr & Badger I:18. Each image captioned with a four-digit number followed by ""P.Z."" for Photochrom Zrich and then the title of the scene in French. A few instances of marginal spotting to mounts; photochrom prints clean and fine with vivid colors. Binding splendid. An about-fine copy of this lovely album. unknown books
rif. CJW1322Bern: Ertug & Kocabiyuk 2002. No. 46 OF 50 SPECIALLY BOUND COPIES of a total edition of 350. 670 x 508 mm. 26 3/8 x 20". 3 p.l. 10 pp. 63 leaves. Publisher's scarlet morocco by Buchbinderei Burkhardt AG covers with gilt-rolled border cornerpieces tooled in gilt upper cover with gilt calligraphic Arabic centerpiece lower cover with gilt central heraldic device marbled endleaves all edges gilt. With a portrait frontispiece of Emperor Selim III 48 DOUBLE-PAGE PLATES AND THREE DOUBLE-PAGE MAPS. ◆A virtually as-new copy. This is one of the deluxe copies of a modern facsimile of Melling's massive and magnificently illustrated work devoted to 18th century Constantinople a book that provided the earliest interior views and plans of the harems and palaces of Sultan Selim III when it was published in 1819. The illustrations remain the best and certainly most attractive record we have of the city during this era in its history. Our edition was produced from a copy of the elephant folio first printing in the collection of the facsimile's publisher Ahmet Ertug with images faithfully reproduced in their original mammoth size 650 x 970 mm. After his arrival in Constantinople in 1795 architect and painter Antoine Ignace Melling 1763-1831 was appointed imperial architect by Selim III. In the course of his duties he designed and landscaped a seaside palace for Selim's sister Princess Hatice and produced these striking panoramic views of the city and its environs. After completing the palace and a number of other building projects for Selim he returned to Paris and in 1804 issued a prospectus for this work. He established an engraving studio in 1809 to reproduce these drawings and began publishing the completed prints as a series of fascicles that were sent to subscribers. The last one appeared in 1819. The outstanding success of an exhibition of the paintings on which the "Voyage Pittoresque" was based earned Melling the rank of painter to the Empress Josephine. When "Voyage Pittoresque" was originally published booksellers in England sold copies for £84 a huge sum for a book at the time. The original edition in pleasing condition now fetches between $75000 and $100000. Our handsomely bound actual size facsimile offers an attractively priced alternative.
