1846réf. 26628London: F.G. Moon and Co. 1846. From the Standard Folio First Edition limited to 500 sets only. A single original hand-coloured lithographic plate drawn on stone by Louis Haghe after David Roberts' paintings done on location in 1838. Printed on a half folio sheet 17" x 15" the captioned image is 14" x 10" now presented in cream mounting boards 21" x 17" glazed behind clear mylar. Beautifully hand-coloured to the highest standards of the time. An example in excellent condition clean fresh beautifully preserved. FROM One of the most desirable of all travel and COLOURplate books. A very beautiful image of the the Island of Philae from the Nile at Sunset. In the foreground are reeds and a sailboat behind which can be seen in near silhouette the Temple of Isis on the island. Philae was accounted to be one of the burying-places of Osiris and was held in high reverence both by the Egyptians to the north and the Nubians to the south. It was deemed profane for any but priests to dwell there and was accordingly sequestered and denominated "the Unapproachable." This is a view now un-viewable to modern eyes. Due to decades of constant flooding of Philae after the construction of the Aswan Low Dam every building was dismantled into about 40000 units and then transported to higher ground on the nearby island of Agilkia. The project was completed in time for the 1970 construction of the the Aswan High Dam.

réf. 22255'Darlington 21/7mo July 1853'. See Sams's entry in the Oxford DNB. 4pp 12mo. On a bifolium the second leaf of which has had a rectangle almost amounting to half cut away from the bottom. The text of the letter is complete but the priced list of the prints and drawings on the last page lacks the lower half. A long letter closely written. Signed 'J. Sams.' Aged worn and lightly stained but nevertheless in passable condition. The recipient saluted as 'Esteemed Friend' is not named. In the first paragraph Sams is at pains to explain his bookselling practice as founded on plain dealing: 'I have been from home to York & other places & this is the first day I have had here since thine came. I regret the circumstance fearing it may cause to suppose I have been inattentive ot the request sent. As a rule the wish is to put all as cheap as may be & not take back. One great difficulty as to return is especially of a fine work likely to be noticed as this people have remarked last word underlined the book not seeing it as usual suppose it sold & gone even if they are not so informed. Consequently to see it come back again they suppose somethg. sic is the matter & the sale of the work afterwards; is probably much injured. Sometimes also some injury arises in carriage two ways.' But to a much respected customer I will look carefully among my plates & try to accommodate – tho' the risk at which I have made free to hint is very considerable.' He continues at equal length in the same idiosyncratic tone regarding his plan to 'forward a collection of fine & curious coloured prints all of which have their original marks but I should have said a number are coloured drawings'. After sending respects to 'thyself & daughter' he signs 'in haste J. Sams.' The reverse of the second leaf carries a list of fourteen of the prints and drawings with prices most marked with pencil crosses to indicate that they are desired. A fifteenth entry ends abruptly indicating that the bottom part of the list has been cut away. 'Darlington 21/7mo (July) 1853'. unknown

réf. 22242Both from Darlington. 15 and 17 August 1847. See Sams's entry in the Oxford DNB. Two letters providing an interesting glimpse of the practicalities of Victorian antiquarian bookselling. Both letters 3pp 12mo and bifoliums addressed on reverse of second leaf with broken seals and postmarks to 'Godfrey Meynell Esqre at Mr Stamp's Surgeon Seaton Carew nr Hartlepool.' Both addressed to 'Respected Frd.' In fair condition aged and worn. ONE: 15 August 1847. He begins by explaining that he was 'from home in the city of Durham' when Meynell's letter came. Sams explains the pricing of two items in his catalogue beginning with: 'The reduced price to give satisfaction that the rare Chaucer 1542 folio was put at was £2. 15s. 6d tho' it was considered modest at a guinea more 3. 13. 6'. The second book 'the Anglo Poetica' 'has not a word said for binding therefore it is to be taken as in old binding for when in Russia they carefully state it & when extra bd neat &c. But the present is very neat in the original oak bds covered with leather a state generally quite prized.' He discusses the cost of delivery: 'The carriage I do not suppose will be above a shilling which is the price to York much further than Seaton. However as perhaps the gentleman to whom I now write may be a customer hereafter I have determined to sustain the further loss tho' not intended to go at the least under the £2. 15s. 6 & on receing a line saying the exact mode by which this work is to be sent & whether by coach or merchant train the post order can be enclosed in the letter it shall be very carefully packed & sent as may be pointed out.' He ends with the information that 'a gentleman I saw at Durham since I have been away spoke to me about this very work & it seems likely he will call abt. It when this way at not less than 3£. or 3. 3s. Had it not the little injury it is supposed it wd. be well worth even 5£. now.' TWO: 17 August 1847. Begins: 'Thine has come to hand - the rare edition of Chaucer has been gone thro' leaf by leaf & it seems quite difficult to collate for the paging is very often wrong but the catchwords prove nothing to be wanting. Yet we fear 1 or 2 leaves are wanting in the interior quite perfect at beginning & end tho' difficult to ascertain as clearly as could be wished.' Sams is 'striving to leave for the Metropolis' the following day '& time being exceedingly precious so close attention has not been given to the looking over the book as could otherwise.' He suggests a price of £2 15s for 'this rare book which is remarkable in having the original first & second titles as well as last leaf &c & also for being in the original oak bds neatly covered with embossed leather'. He ends: 'I think of keeping it apprehending it wd. bring that or more at auction even.' A postscript concerns catalogue orders and ends: 'The christn. name is Joseph -'. In another hand Meynell's beneath the address on the reverse of the second leaf is an eight-line note on the faults in a book the Chaucer beginning: 'In the prologue at least 2 leaves are wanting that is from verse 505 to 715 -'. Both from Darlington. 15 and 17 August 1847. hardcover
