1807rif. SET23-B-1London : J. Johnson F. C. and J. Rivington et al 1807-9. Leather. Very Good. 12" by 9.5". None. Three scarce complete sets of early nineteenth-century publications of influential Medieval and Early-Modern Era chronicles uniformly and finely bound. Holinshed's Chronicles also known as Holinsheds Chronicles of England Scotland and Ireland is a collaborative work published in several volumes and two editions the first in 1577 and the second in 1587. In 1548 Reginald Wolfe a London printer conceived the idea of creating a "Universal Cosmography of the whole world and there with also certain particular histories of every known nation." He wanted the work to be printed in English and he wanted maps and illustrations in the book as well. Wolfe acquired many of John Leland's works and with these he constructed chronologies and drew maps that were up to date. When Wolfe realised he could not complete this project on his own he hired Raphael Holinshed and William Harrison to assist him. Wolfe died with the work still uncompleted in 1573 and the project changed to a work about just the British Isles was run by a consortium of three members of the London stationers. They kept Raphael Holinshed who employed William Harrison Richard Stanyhurst Edmund Campion and John Hooker. In 1577 the work was published in two volumes after some censorship by the Privy Council of some of Stanyhurst's contribution on Ireland. Shakespeare used the revised second edition of the Chronicles published in 1587 as the source for most of his history plays the plot of Macbeth and for portions of King Lear and Cymbeline. Richard Grafton c. 15111572 was King's Printer under Henry VIII and Edward VI. He was a member of the Grocers' Company and MP for Coventry elected 1562-63. On the accession of Edward VI Grafton was appointed King's Printer and this gave him the sole right to print all Acts and Statutes. He had held the appointment for six years when on the King's death he printed a proclamation of the accession of Lady Jane Grey in which he signed himself "Printer to the Queen." For this he was cast into prison by Mary I. John Cawood became Queen's Printer and Grafton's career as a printer ended. In prison Grafton compiled an Abridgement of the Chronicles of England which he published in 1563. To this he added in 1568 A Chronicle at Large. Enguerrand de Monstrelet c. 1400 20 July 1453 French chronicler belonged to a noble family of Picardy. In 1436 and later he held the office of lieutenant of the gavenier i.e. receiver of the gave a kind of church rate at Cambrai and he seems to have made this city his usual place of residence. He was for some time bailiff of the cathedral chapter and then provost of Cambrai. Little else is known about Monstrelet except that he was present not at the capture of Joan of Arc but at her subsequent interview with Philip the Good duke of Burgundy. Continuing the work of Froissart Monstrelet wrote a Chronique which extends to two books and covers the period between 1400 and 1444 when according to another chronicler Mathieu d'Escouchy he ceased to write. Monstrelet's own writings dealing with the latter part of the Hundred Years' War are valuable because they contain a large number of documents which are certainly and reported speeches which are probably authentic. This publication of Monstrelet's chronicles are the first English translation translated by Thomas Johnes. 'Containing an account of the cruel civil wars between the houses of Orleans and Burgundy; of the possession of Paris and Normany by the English their explusion thense and of other memorable events that happened in the Kindom of France as well as in other countries. A history of fair example and of great profit to the French beginning at the year MCCCC where that of Sir John Froissart finishes and ending at the year MCCCCLXVII and continued by others to the year MDXVI'. Holinshed contains facsimiles of the original 1586 titles and a handwritten 'list of Kings of Scotland from Holinshed's History' loosely inserted. Grafton contains facsimiles of the original 1569 titles and a table to the rear 'declaring the reignes of euerie King of this Realme'. Monstrelet has vignette titles and volume v is made up of 51 plates one folding collate complete. Armorial bookplates of Coulthart of Coulthart and Collyn 'Virtue non Verbis' to front pastedown of every volume. Three sets uniformly bound in decorative full diced calf. Externally very attractive with a lovely patina to the spines. There is some wear and rubbing to the extremities occasioning slight loss to some of the spine leather: very slight to the heads and tails of most volumes and in the cases of volume II of the Holinshed and volume I of the Grafton more loss affecting the gilt lettering.There are a few marks to the boards. Of the twenty-six joints three are starting fifteen are cracked and delicate and four boards are held by the cords only. So in need of osome reinforcement at modest cost for this important set. Internally they are all firmly bound. Generally bright and clean with some instances of age-toning ranging mild to bad occasional off-setting from the text and some intermittent scattered spotting and the odd severely spotted page. The Holinshed set has marks to page V of volume i small spill burns to the gutters of some pages a closed tear to page 3 of volume i dusting and tide marks to volume ii and an ink note to the verso of the front free-endpaper of volume i. Grafton has a few small dustmarks. Monstrelet has some instances of light foxing and ink marks to page 2 of volume III. Some spotting to the bookplates. Very Good J. Johnson, F. C. and J.

Soyer's comments to Gettings on these early portraits in general and on this one specifically: "I did everything myself prepared the plate put it in acid and printed it myself. I printed on the only kind of paper I had. I didn't try to get fancy paper." "In those days I did many drawings of myself. This was the earliest etching of myself. I didn't think it was very successful because the features are too big for the face the lips and nose are too big and so on. When I did it I thought of Rembrandt of Rembrandt's early etchings of himself but I didn't consider it successful.See other work by Raphael Soyer at https://edpollackfinearts.com/cgi-bin/edp1/creator2011.htmlme=253&te=2 unknown

1836rif. 52758Mexico City: Palacio del Gobierno Nacional 1836. Fine. Official printed government notice of Mexico's continuing efforts to maintain control over Texas immediately after the loss at San Jacinto - here working with privateers to harass Texans at sea. When Mexico finally won its independence from Spain in 1821 its territory included modern-day Texas settled by a mix of Tejano Mexican and Texian Anglo-American populations in addition to indigenous tribes and enslaved African Americans. Tensions between the Tejano and Texian factions increased and finally erupted into full-scale violence in 1835 beginning what is now called the Texas Revolution. Its most famous battle at the Alamo occurred a few months before this broadside was issued. The decisive battle of the war San Jacinto occurred on 21 April a Mexican defeat that led to the formation of the Republic of Texas. While the Mexican general Santa Anna negotiated a surrender the Mexican government deposed him for it and refused to recognize an independent Texas. After San Jacinto Mexico avoided pitched battles but continued to take action to undermine and antagonize the new Texas nation. This broadside was one such effort issued just over a week after the defeat at San Jacinto. It announces the formal employment in the navy of private ships to aid in attacking Texans at sea and forming a blockade "para terminar la guerra con los colonos de Tejas é impedir el contrabando en los puertos y costas de la República". Privateers were necessary because the Mexican government did not yet have a robust navy a weakness that the United States would later exploit in the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. Ephemeral broadsides like this survive in few numbers; many of this era during José Justo Corro's interim presidency show only two or three institutional holdings via OCLC. This particular imprint shows three institutional holdings in the US Baylor Texas A&M and Brigham Young. A rare piece of Texana. 12'' x 8.25''. Single letterpress broadside printed recto only.

1883rif. 4665New York: Imprenta y Libreria de N. Ponce de Leon 1883. Very good. vii53pp. Modern quarter calf and marbled boards spine gilt. Inscribed by the author on verso of title page. Manuscript pencil numbering to top corner of each page. Minor foxing. One of the most important and intriguing 19th century Cuban-American imprints featuring two Socialist 'morality tales' that while lauding the quest for social and economic equally also decry the risks posed by human nature and totalitarianism upon the practical application of Marxism. It was written by the prominent Cuban émigré Rafael de Castro Palomino and features a famous prologue by his close friend and colleague José Martí. From the 1870s to 1890s New York City was the heart of the Cuban community in exile. During the Ten Years' War 1868-1878 a wave of Cuban dissidents many being highly educated and with financial resources arrived in New York forming a vibrant and politically active community. There they had almost unfettered freedom to publish raise money and buy arms to support the struggle in the homeland especially since the U.S. Government hoped to exploit instability in Cuba for its own imperialistic advantage. From 1881 until 1895 José Martí 1853-1895 the brilliant author philosopher poet and journalist who was the 'Apostle of Cuban Independence' often made New York his home. Upon Martí's arrival in New York in 1881 he was greatly assisted by Rafael de Castro Palomino a long-established Cuban resident of the city. Palomino was a prominent Socialist writer and journalist being the author of numerous articles and short books. Even though his name comes up frequently much of Palomino's biography remains hazy. We do know that he was considerably older than Martí hailed form an affluent Havana family and had been educated in France. Like Martí he was deeply concerned about the potential excesses and pitfalls of Marxism as applied on the real world. Notably Martí and Palomino were close friends of Néstor Ponce de León y de la Guardia 1837-1899. An exiled Cuban lawyer and bibliophile he founded the Imprenta y Librería de N. Ponce de León in the early 1870s a Spanish-language printing house and bookstore that became the intellectual center of the New York Cuban émigré community. As an interesting side note he possessed the largest Spanish language private library in New York featuring more than 1700 titles which he made openly available to his colleagues such as Martí and Palomino. The work is relatively rare and particularly so in commerce. We locate four copies in OCLC at the University of Florida's Cuban collection Harvard Yale and the University of Chicago. An important work from the Cuban exile community. Imprenta y Libreria de N. Ponce de Leon unknown
