This is one of Ackermann's major color plate books and apparently the first in his "Picturesque Tours" series others of which explore the Seine the Ganges and the Thames. The book describes a trip down the Rhine on that part of the river generally considered most romantic and charming. The account contains not only topographical descriptions but considerable historical information and details of popular traditions. The tone is frankly advocative the book being written "with a view chiefly to the information of travellers of cultivated minds who may be induced to visit this interesting portion of Germany." The main appeal of the book for us today of course resides in its spacious and richly colored plates. The irresistibly scenic views seem to justify the book's claim that the region depicted is "a portion of heaven fallen down to earth." Our plates are early impressions and as in other contexts size matters here: the sheets in our volume are 407 mm. tall appreciably larger than most of the copies seen in auction records which measure on average approximately 330 mm. Abbey's untrimmed copy measured 425 mm. and a Large Paper Copy sold at Sotheby's in 2007 had sheets 402 mm. tall. As the limitation would indicate copies on Large Paper are very uncommonly seen and our copy is beautiful with especially well-preserved text and plates and an exceedingly handsome replica spine. R.

réf. B9781538156131Hardback. New. Laurel Cemetery was incorporated in 1852 as a nondenominational cemetery for African Americans of Baltimore Maryland. It was the final resting place for thousands of Baltimoreans and many prominent members of the community including religious leaders educators political organizers and civil rights activists. During its existence the privately owned cemetery changed hands several times and by the 1930s the site was overgrown and garbage strewn from years of improper maintenance and neglect. In the 1950s legislation was adopted permitting the demolition and sale of the property for commercial purposes. Despite controversy over the new legislation local opposition to the demolition numerous lawsuits and NAACP supported court appeals the cemetery was demolished in 1958 to make room for the development of a shopping center. Prior to the bulldozing of the cemetery a few hundred gravestones and an unknown number of burials fewer than 200 were exhumed and relocated to a new site in Carroll County. Ongoing archival research has thus far documented over 18000 projected to be over 40000 original burials most of which still remain interred beneath the Belair-Edison Crossing shopping center property which occupies the footprint of the old cemetery. This book highlights and historicizes underexplored and forgotten people and events associated with the cemetery stressing the importance of their work in laying the social economic and political foundation for Baltimore’s African American community. Additionally this text details the unsuccessful fight to prevent the cemetery’s destruction and the more recent grassroots formation of the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project to research and commemorate the site and the people buried there. hardcover
