Most Of First 48 Pages Were Neatly Broken Or Cut Off Near The Gutter Edge Then Re-Attached With Tape; Possibly They Were Bound In Incorrect Order And Then Re-Attached In Correct Order. In 1920 Clarence A. Black Sold The Covarrubias Adobe To John R. Southworth A Writer And Historian Who Had Lived In Mexico For 34 Years Before Moving To Santa Barbara Where He Opened An Antique And Curio Store In The Oreña Studios. Southworth Remodeled The Covarrubias By Cladding The Interior With Asbestos Wallboard And Redwood In A Gothic Style. Outside He Constructed A Wall Of Cement Around And Underneath The Old Walls Making A Cradle To Insure Its Survival For Another Hundred Years. Also In 1920 The Natural History Museum Was Under Pressure To Vacate Its Premises At 930 Anacapa Street So A Women'S Hotel The Margaret Baylor Inn Could Be Built. They Announced The Sale Of Their Adobe Building And Hundreds Of Old "Indian-Made" Roof Tiles. No Buyer Stepped Forward And The Native Daughters And The Native Sons Of The Golden West Advocated Demolishing The Old Adobe Which They Felt Had No Historic Significance. John Southworth Came To The Rescue Purchased The 1836 Malo Adobe And Laid Plans To Move It Next To The Covarrubias. "It Will Be The First Adobe In California To Be Moved Without Melting Away" He Said. By 1924 Its Resurrection Was Complete And It Rested Across From The Covarrubias Leaving A Charming Patio Between. For The Next 18 Years The Covarrubias And The Historic Adobe Were Alternately Leased In Whole Or Part By Southworth Who Periodically Lived There And Ran His Antique Business. Lessees Included Residents Who Ran A Tearoom Antique Dealers A Photographic Studio An Interior Decorating Business Shops And Art Gallery. In 1932 Mebane Beasley Opened A Vocal Studio At The Covarrubias. After A Recital The Reviewer Remarked "The Charm Of The Large Room Where The Recital Was Held Is Felt In Its Lighting Of Candles And Everywhere Are To Be Seen Delightful Old Paintings And Furniture While The Steinway Piano In Its Most Original Casing Is A Work Of Art." In Keeping With The Music Theme In 1935 Roger Clerbois A Founder Of The Community Arts Association Orchestra Leased The Covarrubias For His Mozart Society. In 1936 Southworth Tried To Rid Himself Of Both Adobes And Put Them Up For Auction. The Morning Press Report Was A Bit Wistful As It Stated "The Buildings Though Privately Owned Have Been Among The Principal Show Places Of Santa Barbara For Years And Have Been Regarded Almost In The Light Of Community Possessions." Back In 1931 The California State Chamber Of Commerce Had Marked Them As One Of 18 Points Of Historic Interest In Santa Barbara County. There Were No Takers At The Auction However And They Were Leased Out Again. Santa Barbarans Must Have Been Pleased When The New Business "Los Adobes" Advertised They Had Opened A Night Club With Dining Dancing And Cocktails. That August Eddie Valencia And His Beach Combers Entertained With Their Signature Big Band Sound Tinged With A Hawaiian Twang. Dancing Began At 8:30 Pm On A Newly Installed Dance Floor. In 1938 Southworth Was Finally Able To Sell The Adobes. Los Rancheros Visitadores Planned To Restore And Preserve Them As A Club Center Complete With Museum And Art Gallery. Leo Carrillo Direct Descendent Of The Pioneer Carrillo Family Became Head Of The Building Committee And Was Assisted By Architect Joseph Plunkett. They Replaced The Shingle Roof With Tile Restored The Adobe Walls While Adding Buttressing And Restored The Fountain In The Courtyard. They Named The Complex "Los Adobes De Rancheros" And Invited The Public To Visit. Donations Of Art And Other California Relics Provided Décor As Did A Unique Set Of Paintings Of The California Missions By California Artist Will Sparks. Orena Studios unknown

1784réf. ABC_46946The Netherlands 1784. Large folio 52 x 33.5 cm. Contemporary richly gold-tooled red morocco over boards sewn on 8 supports each board with a round gold-tooled green morocco inlaid centre piece gold-tooled board edges 2 pairs of green cloth ties gilt edges and block-printed paste-paper endpapers in red and yellow. The spine is also richly gold-tooled with 2 different rolls to frame the compartments and underline the leaf and flower stamps. The front and back boards match except for the gold lettering: on the front board "konst tekeningen" and on the back board "anno 1784". The tooling shows 4 different rolls used for multiple frames and numerous stamps of leaves flowers vases birds and other decorative elements. With 18 large beautifully hand-drawn and coloured illustrations of birds. 90 ll. Splendidly bound drawing book containing 18 unsigned detailed watercolour and gouache drawings of birds. The colourful birds appear to be drawn after the plates in Edward Donovan's The natural history of British birds first published in instalments between 1794 and 1819. If so the present drawings must have been added to the drawing book at least 10 years after it was bound.The blank drawing-book was bound according to the gold lettering on the back board in 1784 and the tools identify it as the work of the most important and arguably the best bindery in the 18th-century Netherlands dubbed the First Stadholder Bindery by Storm van Leeuwen. Since the names of the binders remain unknown the name now used alludes to the fact that it produced many bindings by order of the Stadholder Willem V and presumably his father Willem IV. Its great importance rests on the number of its surviving bindings the diversity of the work it produced the quality of the tooling the exceptionally large number of binding tools it must have owned and the length of time it must have been operating from at least 1722 to 1793 Storm van Leeuwen. The paper is laid with no watermark and appears to be quite consistent.Occasional minor foxing but otherwise internally fine and clean. The binding shows only slight signs of wear so both the album and the binding are in very good condition. A sumptuously bound album of attractive illustrations of British birds.l For the binding: Jan Storm van Leeuwen Bookbinding 18th century IIA pp. 67-101; for images of the rolls etc.: Jan Storm van Leeuwen De achttiende-eeuwse Haagse boekband pp. 388-395.
