1809réf. 34489London: William Miller 1809. Hand-colored aquatint by Daniel Havell. Sheet: 21 1/4 x 29 inches. Mild bubbling in places. This view of Cairo from a hilltop near the Citadel shows Old Cairo with its walls domed buildings and minarets. Across the Nile in the hazy distance are the pyramids of Giza. Heny Salt later returned to Cairo as consul-general for the British. Henry Salt artist traveller diplomat and collector of antiquities was born at Lichfield Staffordshire England 14 June 1780. He was destined to be a portrait-painter and on leaving school was taught drawing by Glover the watercolour-painter of Lichfield. In 1797 he went to London and became a pupil of Joseph Farington R.A. and in 1800 of John Hoppner R.A. The turning point in his career was 3 June 1802 when Salt left London for an eastern tour with George viscount Valentia afterwards Lord Mountnorris whom he accompanied as secretary and draughtsman. He visited the Cape India Sri Lanka and in 1805 Abyssinia returning to England on 26 Oct. 1806. He made many drawings some of which served to illustrate Lord Valentia's Voyages and Travels to India published in 1809. The present image is from a work titled Twenty-four Views in St. Helena the Cape India Ceylon the Red Sea Abyssinia and Egypt published by William Miller with hand-coloured aquatints by D. Havell and J. Bluck from Salt's own drawings. The originals of all these drawings were retained by Lord Valentia who also retained the ownership of the copper plates after Salt's death. The format and style of presentation of the plates is similar to Thomas and William Daniell's great work Oriental Scenery 1795-1808 and displays great artistry by both Salt and his engravers.

T. 2: VI-78-27 p. et 24 pl, Veau marbré de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs orné de caissons dorés et portant une pièce de titre en maroquin rouge, Seconde édition, posthume et très augmentée, du premier traité français de microscopie. La première édition fut publiée en 1718. Louis Joblot (1645-1723), prolifique inventeur de microscopes, qui ne fut jamais fabricant, débuta ses recherches en microscopie et sur les organismes microscopiques à la suite des démonstrations de Huygens et d'Hartsoeker devant l'Académie des Sciences durant l'été 1678. La publication de 1718 forme donc l'aboutissement de 36 années de travail et d'étude. La seconde édition donne la prééminence, comme le souligne le nouveau titre, aux observations d'histoire naturelle qui se trouvent en tête de l'ensemble. Elles se composent des expérimentations et de résultats d'observation de 1718 servant à réfuter la théorie de la génération spontanée où, en outre, il reprend des observations sur les protozoaires qui avaient été faites précédemment par Leeuwenhoek ; et elles sont augmentées d'observations d'entomologie (pou, puce, mouche et moucheron), et, notamment, sur les cristaux de sel. La partie qui concerne la construction des microscopes forme ici le second volume. L'auteur y décrit l'utilité de ses 18 microscopes (microscopes à liqueurs, à tiges, à canon verre nommé "Tombeaux", un microscope monté d'une seule lentille, un très petit à deux verres, un porte-loupe, un microscope à trois verres convexes des deux côtés et des microscopes dits "universels"). Elle est augmentée de la description de deux nouveaux microscopes universels à plusieurs verres et de détails sur la "proportion des verres qui entrent dans [leur] composition". L'ouvrage est illustré de 53 planches gravées sur cuivre et de très belles vignettes dont l'une montre un observateur au microscope dans son cabinet scientifique. La plupart des planches représentent d'une part les microscopes et les accessoires utilisés par Joblot et, d'autre part, les "animaux" microscopiques qu'il avait observés dans les différents liquides analysés (vinaigre et infusions) et les insectes. On peut noter sur certaines planches des détails montrant les innovations apportées au XVIIIe siècle: vis à écrou pour la mise au point, cylindre à ressort pour glisser la lame du porte-objet, etc. Très bel exemplaire, grand de marges, dans son élégante reliure d'époque portant l'ex-libris imprimé de "R. Pillault". Un accroc à la coiffe de tête. Wellcome III, 356. Nissen 2114. DSB VII, 110

Large quarto contemporary full diced brown calf rebacked black morocco spine label raised bands original marbled endpapers and edges. $4800.First edition of this fascinating travel narrative chronicling Salts expeditions across Egypt and Ethiopia illustrated with two vignettes and 34 splendid copper-engraved plates and maps four folding one hand-colored in contemporary calf boards.The renowned English diplomat archaeologist Henry Salt initially studied as a painter and it was his artistic talents that recommended him to the collector George Annesley Viscount of Valentia who took him on a tour of the East in 1802-06 during which he visited Egypt Ethiopia and India. In 1809-10 Salt returned to Ethiopia as a quasi-official envoy under Cannings sponsorship marching from the Red Sea coast with an escort of 160 bearers to explore trade and diplomatic links with the Ethiopian emperor Wolde Selassie. Britain fearing a French alliance with Egypt wished to secure a port on the Red Sea. Salt carried out a little archaeology discovering at Aksum three large Ethiopian inscriptions and documenting his work in this impressive volume Howgego II:S6. Salts role in three key excavations Belzoni Caviglia and dAthanasi yielded splendid collections of Egyptian antiquities many of which are now in the British Museum Clayton 44. In 1815 Salt was appointed Consul-General in Egypt and a year later together with John Burckhardt employed Giovanni Baptista Belzoni to remove the colossal bust of Rameses II from Thebes now also in the British Museum. For this Salt was hailed as the second Lord Elgin. Voyage to Abyssinia includes particulars respecting the aboriginal African tribes extending from Mosambique to the borders of Egypt and a lengthy glossary of local languages. The numerous full-page illustrations are made by Charles Heath from original sketches by Salt and include perhaps the earliest printed illustration of hippo shooting Czech which took place on the River Tacazzi.

réf. 71248Salt Lake County 2001. Ephemera. Fine. More images available upon request. 745 items. Almost all in fine condition. The flyers and posters range from 1/2 standard sheet size approx. 8.5" x 5" to large posters approx. 17" x 14". Most are standard sheet size 8.5" x 11". Roughly a dozen duplicates are present. An enormous collection documenting live music festivals and performance in the Salt Lake area through the 1990s in the clubs and small venues of the valley. Legendary clubs like the Speedway Cafe Pompadour Bar & Grill Bricks Spanky's Playscool the basement of DV8 Burt's Tiki Lounge Dead Goat Saloon Area 51 The Zephyr Club The Holy Cow now the Urban Lounge and Kilby Court are well represented as well as the holes-in-the-wall like the Moroccan Painted Word Shaggy's Living Room and Green Guinea. Educational and cultural institutions and outdoor venues are also prominently featured in this collection including Bryant Intermediate School the University of Utah Ballroom in the Union Building Westminster College the Indian Walk In Center Draper Park and the Fairgrounds Creative Arts Building. Some places provided venues on a weekly basis other places provided them only a few times or maybe even just once. A number of flyers showcase then unknown bands who first played tiny venues like these and who went on to gain a larger audience and in some cases are still performing today The Vandals Social Distortion Bad Religion GWAR Slayer Johnny Rotten Suicidal Tendencies Korn and many others. Countless local acts are represented including those that performed steadily throughout these years Iceburn; Endless Struggle; Starmy; Red Bennies; Bob Moss; Daughters of the Nile as well as bands that were together for slightly shorter periods Mouthbreather; Gnawing Suspicion; Wovoka etc. Interestingly a handful of local bands that had their origins in the 1980s appear such as Bad Yodelers Potato Heads Dinosaur Bones The Clocks a noise band Slaughterchrist and the Stench. The bands are announced in a way that was standard during this period- with imaginatively designed often do-it-yourself paper flyers posters and handbills. The lion's share are illustrated with no mention of the artist. Some are very simple just delivering the necessary information. This collection manages to document the entirety of the music scene instead of a single genre with numerous examples of posters and handbills promoting Hardcore Punk Pop Rap Metal Industrial Folk Bluegrass Rockabilly Psychobilly Ska/Reggae etc. Not only does this archive highlight the bands and the incredibly diverse musical movements that were moving through Utah during this period but at the same time it calls attention to the promoters who worked so hard to put the shows together find willing venues and get the word out to the public- promoters such as Raunch Modified Heavy Metal Shop Graywhale KRCL and Slug Productions. Finally when flipping through the flyers one can't help but think of the artists behind the scenes who created the flyers thereby playing a large role in advertising the events. The bands that passed through Utah came from far and wide as is evidenced in these flyers and they performed at all types of different venues. They came from Washington D.C. California Missouri Michigan the UK Canada and a multitude of other places. More often than not after a band played the members did not disappear backstage never to be seen again. Instead most of them watched the other bands that were playing and they mingled with the people who had come to support them creating a significant exchange of experiences and ideas. The shows were frequent widening the audience's world and cultivating a sense that there was something to do in a state known for its sheltered lifestyle and conservatism. Many of the shows took place in Salt Lake City however they also radiated out to areas which included Murray Provo Bountiful and Logan. This certainly wasn't the only time in Utah's history that an energetic and creative music movement took hold of the musicians promoters and audiences however the period represented in this collection does symbolize an important piece of the puzzle in the counter-culture history of Utah's live music scene. First and foremost these flyers underscore the ideas and values that were important to the musicians and the people attending these shows: providing "all ages" venues; charging low entry fees often $3 to $7 and occasionally organizing free events; working around Utah's quirky laws such as the private club law which required a patron to pay a fee and fill out an application before entering a bar; and banding together to put on benefit shows for the unsheltered Food Not Bombs Rape Recovery Center Utah Humane Society Best Friends Animal Society Utah Food Bank and U.S. Cuba Friendshipment/Right to Travel among others. A large extremely well preserved assortment of visually interesting concert flyers. While the archive illustrates how diversified the music scene in Utah was during the nineties at the same time it demonstrates the cohesiveness of the local music community- a community which possessed a strong ability to foster an environment which promoted individuality and activism. "Witness the shredding of the Zion Curtain" - from the flyer for Head Fest 95'. unknown

1822réf. 323375London: William Miller 1822. First edition later issue. Hand-colored aquatint dedication/title and 24 hand colored aquatint plates by D. Havell J. Hill and J. Bluck supervised by Robert Havell after Henry Salt on thick Whatman paper watermarked 1822. Interleaved throughout with blanks. Without the separately-issued octavo text as usual. Elephant folio. Contemporary half calf and marbled paper boards large morocco label on the upper cover spine gilt. Foxing to a few plates. First edition later issue. Hand-colored aquatint dedication/title and 24 hand colored aquatint plates by D. Havell J. Hill and J. Bluck supervised by Robert Havell after Henry Salt on thick Whatman paper watermarked 1822. Interleaved throughout with blanks. Without the separately-issued octavo text as usual. Elephant folio. A very fine set of views after drawings by Henry Salt. Salt left London in 1802 for an eastern tour with Lord Valentia visiting Indian and Ceylon and taking part in the first British mission to Abyssinia. At Calcutta they were entertained by the Governor-General Marquis Wellesley the dedicatee and travelled to Benares Lucknow Ceylon and Madras. From Mangalore Salt explored the Red Sea. After returning to Bombay and Poona he travelled again to the Red Sea and made an extensive journey inland to the Abyssinian Highlands. Salt's original drawings remained in Valentia's possession and after Salt's death the plates too became his property. Like Fraser's Himala Salt's Twenty-Four Views was published in the same size and style as Daniell's Oriental Scenery and is seen very much as a continuation of that great work. The plates include fine views of Chowringhee; the fort of Jaunpur; 2 aquatints of Lucknow including the mosque in the Great Imambara; the great Temple at Tanjore; Poona; the Chaitya Cave; 2 aquatints of Cairo; Cape Town etc. The present example is the reissue by Thomas M'Lean printed on Whatman paper watermarked 1822 but otherwise printed from the same plates as the 1809 edition.

A fresh clean copy of the set of Salt's very fine large format views of India Abyssinia Egypt and elsewhere. Salt visited the Cape India and the Red Sea. In Calcutta the party was entertained by the Governor-General Lord Wellesley the dedicatee of the present work and then travelled to Benares Lucknow Ceylon and Madras. Salt then explored the Red Sea returned to Bombay and Poona to the Red Sea again before making an extensive excursion into the Abyssinian highlands here represented by six views. Contemporary advertisements make clear that the work was designed to be similar in size and presentation to the plates of Thomas and William Daniell's great work Oriental Scenery 1795-1808: the undoubted artistry of Salt and his engravers has ensured that this work is a worthy successor. A quarto text volume with the same title was published by Miller in the same year. Abbey Travel 515; Bobins 112; Tooley 440 the text 'is not important and the work is usually to be found without it'.
