1818rif. 25055Paris: De l'imprimerie de Mme. veuve Agasse Rue des Poitevins no 6 1818. First Edition. Contemporary half leather. Very good; occasional spotting; modest rubbing. 8vo xl 1 - 192 2 - folding tables pp. 6 leaves of plates Rare. Among the most lethal of the commercial decorative-arts trades practiced in the 18th & 19th centuries. The gilding of bronze castings and the high finish and design achieved for such articles was a defining characteristic and mainstay of the Parisian clock furniture and arts trade. So dominant were the Parisian merciers in this that attempts to establish competitive practitioners of gilding in other nations all failed. The author's Ottomeyer & Pröschel have characterized the trade in their epoch two volume Vergoldete Bronzen 1986 as vol.1 p.323: "Das Pariser Vorbild blieb im 19. Jahrhundert wie auch auf vielen anderen Gebieten der Mode und des Luxus stets tonangebend. Die Geschichte der Bronzearbeiten während des Empire und der Restauration die sich nicht davon trennen läßt ist geprägt von der Abkehr von handwerklicher Gestaltung und Produktionsweise und dem zunehmenden Übergang zu Groß- serien der Luxusindustrie. Die genau nach Plan gefertigten Teile gingen durch viele Hände. Die additiven Strukturen der Herstellung durch die Serienfertigung bestimmt finden sich in der Formgebung wieder bei der die präzise abgestimmten vorgefertigten Metallteile wie Bausteine zusammengesetzt wurden.Es ist schwer zu sagen ob der Stil die Produktionsweise ermöglichte oder aber die Produktionsweise den Stil bestimmte der die Bronzearbeiten in ihrer kohärenten Formgebung bei additiver Zusammensetzung auszeichnet." D'Arcet's book is exceptional for its detailed exposition of the trade and the means to accomplishing the finished product. The book was printed by Mme. Agasse who was both printer and bookseller.

FIRST EDITION. 181 x 111 mm. 7 1/8 x 4 3/8". xxvi ii 274 i.e. 276 including text leaf marked as pp. 223-224 2 pp. ANIMATED CONTEMPORARY OLIVE BROWN MOROCCO ELABORATELY GILT AND INLAID covers with two climbing roses with 70 gilt and inlaid blossoms of wine red or salmon pink morocco and dozens of tiny heart-shaped leaves rising from the lower corners and winding up the sides before curving toward the center of the board in a heart shape the branches on a pointillé ground accented with tiny droplets upper cover with monogram of Eleanor Vere Boyle raised bands spine panels with rose branch featuring three inlaid blooms on a pointillé ground gilt lettering wide turn-ins with gilt rose sprays at corners yellow watered silk endleaves top edge gilt. With original front wrapper bound in at rear. Front joint replaced with great skill. With floral vignettes on title and half title decorative headpieces and initials and 11 full-page wood engravings by Boyle EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED with 28 engravings by Eisen Mariller Gravelot and many others. Spine lightly sunned to a hazel brown some extra-illustrations a little foxed occasional light to moderate offsetting from plates but the contents in excellent condition clean and bright throughout and the binding with only the most negligible signs of wear. The subject here is roses--on the extremely charming and exuberant binding in the text and in the illustrations. They were the favorite flower of author and illustrator Eleanor Vere Boyle 1825-1916 who planted them on a large scale in her garden at Huntercombe Manor. The popular illustrator of 14 children's books Boyle used most of her income to support charitable works in the parish where her husband was vicar. In her 50s she turned from illustrating to writing focusing primarily on nature and gardens as her subjects. Here she has collected English poems as well as translations in English of excerpts from poems in Greek Latin Persian Italian and French all of them celebrating the rose. Her illustrations show either close-ups of a flower or an adorable cupid accompanied by the flower of Venus. The press work in the present volume is first rate as one expects from the Chiswick Press and the binding is a riot of floral glimmering. Although the binding is unsigned the animated unconventional design is reminiscent of the work of the Guild of Women Binders while the execution is of exceptional quality equal to the productions by leading London workshops like Riviere and Zaehnsdorf.

1902rif. List2824El Dorado County California 1902. Sixteen items mainly letters and descriptions of mining claims which total thirty-seven handwritten pages. Of the written pages: one 7 ½ x 7 ½ inch three 8 x 5 inch twenty 8 x 10 inch seven 8 x 12 ½ inch and six 8 x 14 inch. Items date between 1879 and 1902 with seven items undated. One empty envelope from “Brinckmann Quartz Crusher and Furnace Company” and one souvenir ribbon for the Placerville “Admission Day Celebration” by the Native Sons of the Golden West 1898. Some items with tearing and staining mostly not affecting legibility; overall very good to near fine. James Ireland c.1830–deceased worked as a mining broker in the late 19th century in California. Records suggest that he was an immigrant from Scotland meaning that he was probably not a member of the Native Sons of the Golden West despite the ribbon in this collection; a fraternal organization celebrating the California Gold Rush the Native Sons did not offer membership to those born outside the state until 2024. Ireland seemed to have lived in San Francisco and Oakland but his mining interests were in El Dorado County. Most famously the home of Sutter’s Mill the county currently has nearly 2600 mines on record with the USGS and sits near the northern end of the “Mother Lode” of gold-bearing quartz that runs along 120 miles of the Sierra Nevadas. Offered here is a small collection of Ireland’s materials relating to various mining prospects mainly descriptions of mines presumably for soliciting interest in purchasing them. These include the Church Union and Red Rover mines outside of Diamond Springs the Dry Gulch gravel mine near Pleasant Valley the Argonaut mine in Greenwood and the Sly Park gravel mine probably near Pollock Pines. The descriptions give details about the locations whether the land is under patent what improvements there are the mine’s per-ton financials likely costs for necessary improvements like mills and so on. Some material pertains to mines that Ireland seemed to already own or have financial stakes in. In Shingle Springs he managed to purchase a mine for “no money”; the previous owners were “not at all anxious to sell at the figures agreed upon” but conceded that “if the money is paid within the time agreed upon the mine shall be yours” September 23 1879. Ireland also owned or managed at least one mine in Nashville though in 1879 he seems to have left his worker there in the lurch. The worker John R. Davies writes: “I am geting on very slow you know that one man cannot do two mens work in mining and I have to Go and Borrow Powder fuse when I want to put a Blast . Most of my things at Nashville Powder drills coal which I left there when I left are gone. I Expect Also to have some Money here for the first of the Month. I shall want $25.00 here to Pay my Bills at the store the Balance you will Pay to my wife on my Order and I hope that you will do it Punctualy for she needs it and I have Earned it. you did not Pay her according to our agreement at first.” May 30 1879 Of interest to scholars of Californian gold mining after the gold rush especially for its detailed descriptions of lesser-known mining claims. unknown books
