1772réf. 46993Mannheim: Churfurstl. Hof-und Academie-Buchdruckerey 1772. Rare Account of Lower California by a German Jesuit First printing of this rare and important account of Lower California by the German Jesuit Jacob Baegert. Baegert lived in Baja California for seventeen years 1751-68 and spent most of his time at the Mission of San Luis Gonzaga leaving after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. He provides some important details on the culture of the Indians of Baja California including the Pericues Guiacuras and Cochiemes. Part one is an overview of California its climate and products; part two describes the inhabitants; and the third part contains an account of the introduction of Christianity to California. Wagner states that the German Jesuits were especially dissatisfied toward the end of the Jesuit regime in California and Baegert's bitterness is evident in his book: ".it was a land full of ferocious beasts and even more ferocious Indians the soil was poor the water undrinkable and there was no fuel to be had." The fine and important map was made by fellow Jesuit Ferdinand Consak and is described by Streeter as "most helpful in giving the location of the many Jesuit missions in Lower California. It also shows the route along the west coast of Mexico followed by Baegert in going to California in 1751 and his route out in 1768 after the expulsion of the Jesuits." The top right corner of the territory present-day Arizona is labeled rather ominously "Los Apaches Barbari." The excellent plates which were apparently not issued with all copies depict male and female California Indians. A prime early account of Baja California with an important map and plates of the region. 163581pp. plus two engraved plates on one sheet and folding map. Small octavo.

"The stories that we know today as Grimm's Fairy Tales were collected from oral tradition by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm philologists and pioneer folklorists. They began to publish the results of their work in 1812 in Germany under the title Kinder- und Haus-Märchen. The tales first appeared in English in 1823 with the publication of the first volume of German Popular Stories. The translator was Edgar Taylor and the book's publication was an auspicious event for at least two reasons. It launched an era in which folklore and the fairy tale would stimulate writers to produce an increasingly imaginative literature for children. And German Popular Stories also put before the public the remarkable illustrations-perhaps his best work-of George Cruikshank. The illustrations evoke wonderfully the grotesque awesome yet matter-of-fact qualities of witch and goblin of Frog Prince Rapunzel Rumpelstiltskin and all the other characters that people the tales. As illustrations to these fairy tales Cruikshank's etchings have never been surpassed" Morgan Library Early Children's Books. Cohn 369. Morgan Library Early Children's Books 197.

réf. 45783Nürnberg : Johann Jacob Wolrab circa 1720. Original wooden box 270 x 105 x 40 mm with two compartments containing removable cards: 6 double-sided cards for the months and 16 smaller double-sided cards for the days; each card is engraved and hand-coloured but the larger cards also have hand-painted gouache decorations illustrating the months and signs of the zodiac; the verso of the sixteenth day card i.e. the card with '31' on the recto has the engraved imprint of 'Nürnberg zu finden bey Johann Jacob Wolrab'; the cards have an expected amount of rubbing and handling wear one has a recent tape repair but overall they have been remarkably well preserved the colours still vibrant; the wooden box has a short crack on the underside. A rare and charming perpetual calendar made and sold by Johann Jacob Wolrab 1675-1746 a Nuremberg bookseller publisher and art dealer who is perhaps best known for his engravings of dwarf caricatures. The cards for the months contain printed information about each month including variations in day length. It is almost certain that the calendar was issued in an uncoloured state and without illustrations as some traces of the printed text show through the overpainted motifs. However the appeal of this particular calendar lies in these attractive naively executed decorations - unquestionably fully contemporary with the printed cards - that transform it into a unique artwork. No other example traced. unknown

1780réf. ABC_48891The Netherlands 1780. 4to ca. 19 x 15 cm. Late 18th-century gold-tooled brown mottled calf sewn on 5 supports bound by the so-called Acorn-and-Foliage Tool Bindery in Amsterdam Storm van Leeuwen. Both boards show the large gold-tooled monogram of the Amsterdam chamber of the VOC as a centre piece sandwiched between the gold-tooled date Anno 1780 all within a gold-tooled floral frame with floral corner pieces in the inside corners spine gold-tooled in six compartments red sprinkled edges. Manuscript in French written in black ink on paper in a neat cursive script by one hand. With chapter divisions numbered 39-75 and headings. The text is written upside down in relation to the binding. Most leaves show an identical watermark depicting a lion rampant on a pedestal with Vryheyt in a crowned ring with Pro Patria Eiusque Libertate and the letters CR below which is very close to Heawood 3149 date: 1753. 28 ll. Late 18th-century manuscript copy of a French childrens catechism by the Swiss theologian Jacob Vernet 1698-1789 bound in a remarkable late 18th-century binding originally produced for the Amsterdam Chamber of the Dutch East India Company VOC by the so-called Acorn-and-Foliage Tool Bindery which was active between ca. 1760 and ca. 1784 Storm van Leeuwen.It shows the large monogram of the Amsterdam Chamber of the VOC sandwiched between the date "Anno 1780" on both boards. These bindings were usually commissioned as gifts to persons important to the VOC often containing an almanac for the relevant year but possibly also produced as blank notebooks. The present work comprises chapters 39-49 and 58-75 of Vernet's work which form almost the second half of printed editions. The chapters included in the present work are complete and exactly follow the order of the printed text in the Geneva 1742 edition pp. 75-140 checked using a digital copy with a slightly different spelling and replacing some words. For unclear reasons chapters 50-57 dealing with the fourth through tenth commandment have not been copied and several leaves between the end of chapter 49 and the beginning of chapter 58 have been left blank.Vernets religious text was first published in 1741 under the title Instruction chrétienne ou catechisme familier; avec quelques prières a lusage des petits enfans . In 1742 a revised edition appeared with a slightly different title Instruction crhetienne ! ou catechisme familier. Avec quelques passages de lEcriture Sainte & quelques prières à lusage des petits enfans. Nouvelle edition. Revuë corrigée & augmentée. Both works were printed in Geneva for the Swiss bookseller Emanuel Du Villard Emmanuel Duvillard 1693-1776 and subsequently reprinted several more times until 1769.

1902réf. 021995New York: The Macmillan Company 1902. First Edition. Hardcover. Minor wear to covers. Near Fine. Second Printing in publisher's original decorated blue cloth. Illustrated. This copy is SIGNED "with the best wishes of/Theodore Roosevelt/Dec 1906." Jacob Riis a significant contributor to the cause of urban reform in the United States of America at the turn of the twentieth century was among the most dedicated advocates for America's oppressed and downtrodden. He arrived in New York from his native Denmark at the age of 21 in 1870. A pioneer in photojournalism Riis photographed and wrote about the slums and tenements of a New York in the dawn of a new century. Riis came to Roosevelt's attention through his 1890 book HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES. As Commissioner of the New York City Police Department Roosevelt accompanied Riis on his evening travels through the slums and witnessed firsthand the inhumane conditions endured by many of New York's inhabitants. In his 1901 book MAKING OF AN AMERICAN Riis wrote of Roosevelt: "It could not have been long after I wrote HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES that he came to the Evening Sun office one day looking for me. I was out and he left his card merely writing on the back of it that he had read my book and had 'come to help.' That was all and it tells the whole story of the man. I loved him from the day I first saw him; nor ever in all the years that have passed has he failed of the promise made then. No one ever helped as he did. For two years we were brothers on Mulberry Street." Roosevelt in turn wrote of Riis after his death: "It is difficult for me to write of Jacob Riis only from the public standpoint. He was one of my truest and closest friends. I have ever prized the fact that once in speaking of me he said 'since I met him he has been my brother.' I have not only admired and respected him beyond measure but I have loved him dearly . and I mourn him as if he were one of my own family." The Macmillan Company hardcover

Il a servi à l’établissement du texte pour la version publiée en 1956. . Ce témoignage capital et de première main sur le cubisme devait initialement introduire les mémoires du marchand d'art Paul Guillaume disparu en 1934. Max Jacob y travailla plusieurs années mais n'en publia qu'un fragment en janvier 1937 dans la revue Les Feux de Paris sous le titre « Le Tiers transporté ». Pour le quatre-vingtième anniversaire de la naissance de l'auteur en 1956 Louis Broder en publia la version intégrale avec des illustrations de Picasso l'ami historique de Max Jacob. Les pages 36-38 offrent plusieurs passages raturés restés inédits. Par ailleurs le manuscrit diffère légèrement de l'édition dans l'emplacement des titres et sous-titres. C'est à partir de ce jeu que Broder publia ces Chronique des temps héroïques en y ajoutant la partie publiée dans Les Feux de Paris en 1937 dont le manuscrit lui manquait à l'époque p. 1-33 feuillets 1-22. Propriété du libraire Bernard Loliée il fut vendu lors de la vente de la bibliothèque 22 mai 2019 n° 27. À l'issue de la publication du volume Broder fit relier l'ensemble de ses manuscrits à l'identique de l'exemplaire unique sur papier japon qu'il s'était dessiné : un décor de filets à froid composé par Plumelle sur une reliure de maroquin bordeaux établie par Semet. Dans l'idée d'y adjoindre un jour les 22 feuillets du début du texte Broder demanda à son relieur de réserver la place nécessaire en tête de volume ou figurent autant de feuillets vierges prêts à les recevoir. Le manuscrit Broder commence donc à la page 33 du texte publié et offre toute la suite des Temps héroïques - à l'exception du chapitre VI qui est ici remplacé par trois pages inédites intitulées « Voyage en Suisse » p. 71-73 acquises chez un libraire parisien en 1966 : « Ils sont inédits et doivent prendre place avant la page 99 de la Chronique des temps héroïques en début de chapitre » et du folio 70 « page de titre de la seconde partie ». Le catalogue de la vente Loliée mentionne deux chapitres des Temps héroïques conservés dans des collections publiques : « Mouvement moderne » à la bibliothèque d'Orléans et « Art nègre » au fonds Gompel-Netter de la BnF. Après consultation c'est inexact : ces manuscrits ne constituent pas des parties originales du manuscrit mais sont de simples notes et des articles préparatoires à leur rédaction. Le manuscrit Broder est donc le seul document autographe existant et le seul qui ait servi à l'établissement [Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, vers 1936-1937].

Second printing with some corrections after the first printing of the previous year of an early account of Lower California by the Jesuit Jacob Baegert. Baegert lived in Baja California from 1751 to 1768 and spent most of his time at the Mission of San Luis Gonzaga leaving after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. He provides important details on the culture of the Native Americans of the region including the Pericues Guiacuras and Cochiemes. Wagner states that the German Jesuits were especially dissatisfied toward the end of the Jesuit regime in California and Baegert's bitterness is evident in his book: ".it was a land full of ferocious beasts and even more ferocious Indians the soil was poor the water undrinkable and there was no fuel to be had." The fine and important map was made by a fellow Jesuit Ferdinand Consak and is described by Streeter as "most helpful in giving the location of the many Jesuit missions in Lower California. It also shows the route along the west coast of Mexico followed by Baegert in going to California in 1751 and his route out in 1768 after the expulsion of the Jesuits." The two plates apparently not issued with all copies depict male and female Californian Native Americans. Rare. The National Union Catalogue locates only three copies of the second issue. unknown
