1929réf. 131131313Baltimore MD: Aunt Priscilla Pub. Co 1929. First Edition. Hardcover. Acceptable. 0x0x0. First edition. Spine missing otherwise in OK shape; boards lightly toned and worn; toning to pages at hinge. The recipe text is written in African-American dialect. Purcell who was white used the image of the Mammy archetype to create a cooking column called Aunt Priscilla's Recipes which was purported to be written by an African American woman. The daily column was written in an exaggerated dialect. Purcell's work according to Toni Tipton-Martin "was a form of minstrelsy" but "it broke with the long tradition of simply taking and publishing African American recipes without giving black cooks credit." In 1929 this compilation of recipes mostly featuring Holiday themes was published. Aunt Priscilla Pub. Co hardcover

Plus 8 pencil drawings on 6 sheets being based on the lessons one signed C.W.T. 7-1/2 x 5-3/4 inches. An extremely rare series known to Drepperd only from the first part of which he found only a single example. "This set of drawing cards is so rich in American views that it is comparable to a miniature Currier and Ives portfolio . these same views are to be found in finished but unsigned paintings by mid-nineteenth century American amateurs ." Drepperd. Purcell served as the drawing master at the Mechanic's School and in 1841 was awarded a prize for the best water color drawing at the the American Institutute Annual Fair. In all Purcell issued six parts in the series under the general title The Artist's Class Manual each offered for sale priced separately. An 1847 advertisement by the publisher John C. Riker in The American Bookseller's Complete Reference Trade List details each part's composition: "No. 1 contains a series of elementary and cottage drawing lessons consisting of fifty cards . No. 2 consists of thirty-six cards . subjects elements of landscape drawing exhibiting varieties of trees with their characteristic foliage . No. 3 consists of thirty-six cards . 12 elementary and 24 advanced landscapes . No. 4 contains twelve colored subjects with full instructions in the use and mixing of colors . No. 5 consists of twelve colored lessons more advanced than No. 4 . No. 6 consists of the same number of colored subjects being the finishing lessons in the art." The prices for each part ranged from .63 cents to $1.25 getting progressively more expensive for the later numbers and each was contained within a separate slipcase. Examples of various parts are located in the collections of the New York Historical Society the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Yale Center for British Art i.e. from the Paul Mellon collection.

This we learn from one of Ricky Jay's fascinating essays in a delightful small volume that takes us from the earliest forms astragalithe heel bones of hoofed quadrupeds four of whose six sides were used for gaming to the myriad types of "loading" and other means of cheating with dice in the modern era. Along the way we discover that Augustus Caligula and Nero were all inveterate players that Queen Elizabeth issued a search and seizure order against the manufacture of false dice in 1598 and that dice made from celluloid invented in 1869 remained stable for decades and thenin a flashbegan to decompose. These are the dice of Rosamond Purcell's luminous and seductive photographs images which transform entropy to an art form. Jay and Purcell give us a dual meditation on dice that will educate us and amuse us at the same time. ; 8 X 0.5 X 8.25 inches; 64 pages . Quantuck Lane Pr & the Mill Rd hardcover

1788réf. 845091788. PURCELL Joseph. A Map of the States of Virginia North Carolina South Carolina and Georgia Comprehending the Spanish Provinces of East and West Florida Exhibiting the Boundaries between the United States and Spanish Dominions as Fixed by the Treaty of Peace in 1783. New Haven: Amos Doolittle 1788. First state. Engraved map on laid paper 13x14-1/2 inches. Trimmed close costing part of the neat line on the side margins. Old folds toned repaired tear tissue backed. Wheat & Brun 491. Evans 21412. This is among the first American mappings of the southeast covering the area south from Baltimore to the Florida Keys and west from the Atlantic to just past the Mississippi River. It is one of few maps to reference the "new state of Franklin" on the North Carolina-Tennessee border which in 1788 was still maintaining a separate legislature despite Congress' refusal to admit the state. This is the only printed map to bear Purcell's 1750-1807 name despite his extensive activity as a surveyor throughout the southeast. Engraved by Doolittle 1754-1832 it appeared separately and within Jedidiah Morse's American Geography Elizabethtown NJ: Shepard Kollock 1789 and some copies of the American Magazine for August 1788. The western portion of the map includes references to various Native American tribes and the northwest portion shows interesting delineations of the claims of various land companies e.g. the Ohio Company and the Illinois Company. It was reissued with slight changes in 1793 and re-engraved in London but the first state is scarce. unknown

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request – – IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY BRAND NEW PRISTINE NEVER OPENED ; 1414 illustrations 136 in color. -- La Bijouterie Française au XIXe Siècle by Henri Vever is an indispensable survey of the jewelry produced in Paris from the Empire to the Art Nouveau period. Since it was first published in three volumes nearly one hundred years ago it has become the definitive source of information for the jewelry profession as well as for those who simply revel in the intricate beauty of fabulous jewels. Now for the first time the entire text is available in English in a single volume. Vever himself a highly accomplished jeweler compiled a study that charts the histories of both the humblest and the most famous of his colleagues including Bapst Boucheron Falize Fontenay Pouquet Froment-Meurice Gaillard Lalique Mellerio and Wièse. This vivid contemporary account is full of data gathered directly from the jewelers themselves or from their descendants. It contains fascinating anecdotes concerning Imperial and Royal commissions together with entertaining tales of workshop practices. In crediting the designers chasers engravers and enamelers who collaborated with the famous jewelry houses Vever acknowledged the talents of technicians who often worked anonymously. In identifying unrecorded craftsmen he made his book a unique document. Political economic and industrial developments are discussed as are their repercussions on society and fashion. With his intimate knowledge of techniques Vever was able to analyze changes that were continually taking place in manufacturing processes. He also recorded the changing styles in jewelry and their sources of inspiration ranging from the Antique to the Orient. A unique feature of this English-language edition is the inclusion for the first time of over 130 color illustrations of pieces many from Vever's collection which appeared only in black and white in the original. -- with a bonus offer--; 520-vever; Henri Vever Katherine Purcell Henri Vever / Vever's French Jewelry of the Nineteenth Century TRANSLATION OF: La Bijouterie Française au XIXe Siècle survey of the jewelry produced in Paris from the Empire to the Art Nouveau period.
