1825In tondo diametro di 9 cm; la stampa è montata su un cartoncino a sua volta inserito in una cornice in legno dipinta di nero, contornato all'interno da una cornice in ottone con una fine cornice incisa. Finissima acquarellatura a mano. Magnifica e fine incisione che illustra il forte ed il territorio circostante, il forte di Exilles che è uno dei monumenti più antichi della Val di Susa, come appariva nel 1825. Le radici del forte di Exilles si collocano intorno all'anno 1000. Nel 1122 si sa con sicurezza, che una struttura difensiva già esisteva in quel luogo ed apparteneva ai conti d'Albon che controllavano la strada commerciale e militare del Monginevro. Nel 1339 il forte presentava già una struttura complessa. In seguito al trattato di Parigi del 15 maggio del 1796, il forte, viene raso al suolo dai francesi, per essere, poi, ricostruito nell'aspetto con il quale si presenta ancora oggi, tra il 1818 ed il 1829, per volontà del Re di Sardegna, rientrato in possesso di questo territorio. La struttura “moderna” è frutto del lavoro degli architetti Giovanni Antonio Rana e Francesco Olivero. Fu quest'ultimo a terminare la struttura. La carta, rarissima, venne realizzata da Paolo Burzio, noto ingegnere, architetto e topografo della città di Chieri e misuratore e disegnatore del 1° della città di Chieri e misuratore di 1° classe dello Stato Maggiore Generale dell'esercito sabaudo. Paolo Burzio, nel 1857, partecipò alla realizzazione del piano regolatore della città di Chieri. Esemplare in ottime condizioni di conservazione di carta rara.

18518vo., First Edition, with a tinted lithographed frontispiece (skilfully mounted on pale cartridge) and 11 tinted lithographed plates; late-nineteenth century half calf, neatly rebacked with new endpapers to style, old blind-tooled backstrip laid down, original gilt-ruled morocco labels preserved (title-label with two gilt letters reinforced), sprinkled edges, an unusually bright, clean and carefully restored copy with virtually no trace of the usual foxing. The plates were engraved by M & N Hanhart from illustrations by Brandling. This is the scarce original edition of Collins' third book, following his biography of his father 'Memoirs of the Life of William Collins' (2v, 1848) and his first novel 'Antonina' (3v., 1850). It is arguably his best-remembered work, together with his two later novels 'The Woman in White' (1860) and 'The Moonstone' (1868). Very nice copy of an uncommon and notable account, and a mainstay of any Cornish collection. Sadleir, 'Excursions' p.137, gives the date of publication (from the Bentley Catalogue) as 30 January 1851; Anderson, p.70; CBEL III, p.481; Parrish, pp.14-16; Wolff, 1374.

1900Roy. 8vo., Second and Best Edition, with portrait frontispiece, title in red and black, and 21 plates (one double-page); original buckram gilt, gilt back, bevelled edges, uncut, covers lightly age-marked else a very good, internally spotless copy. King's work, first published in 1879, immediately established itself as the standard popular reference on the ancient New Forest town; local interest generated the inevitable additions and corrections, but the planned second edition, incorporating the numerous addenda, was deferred by the author's death. This best edition, compiled and published by the author's son from his father's meticulous notes, benefits from much new material and many fresh illustrations. This copy was formerly in the library of Professor [Sir] J H Biles, the eminent naval architect [of 'Titanic' Enquiry fame], and bears his elegant blind-embossed art nouveau bookplate (with press-mark in manuscript) on front paste-down. John Harvard Biles (1854-1933) was apprenticed at Portsmouth Dockyard, studied at the Royal School of Naval Architecture and joined the Admiralty in 1877. His talents were quickly recognised and in 1880 (at the age of only 26) he was appointed chief designer to the major shipbuilder J&G Thomson on Clydebank where he created the revolutionary designs for the 'City of Paris' and 'City of New York'. In 1883 he left to join the foundling consultancy established by Sir Edward Reed, where he quickly became a driving force (the consultancy continues to the present day as Sir J H Biles & Co.). In 1891 he was awarded the Chair of Naval Architecture at Glasgow University (then perhaps the most prestigious such appointment in the world) where he devoted himself to teaching and consultancy on a world-wide scale. IN VIEW OF HIS EMINENCE IN THE FIELD OF SHIP DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, PROFESSOR BILES WAS AN ASSESSOR IN THE ENQUIRY INTO THE LOSS OF RMS 'TITANIC' AND SUBSEQUENTLY HE SERVED ON THE BOARD OF TRADE ENQUIRY INTO LIFEBOATS AND LIFE-SAVING APPLIANCES WHICH AROSE AS A RESULT OF THE TITANIC LOSS. For his services to the 'Titanic' Enquiry and naval architecture in general, Biles was knighted in 1913
