PRINTING HISTORY - INCUNABULA. Debuts de L'Imprimerie a Strasbourg Ou Recherches sur Les Travaux Mysterieux de Gutenberg Dans Cette Ville et Sur le Proces Qui Lui Fut Intente en 1439 a Cette Occasion

1840ref. 2217Paris: Techener 1840. First Edition. Very good. 17 x 26.5 cm. 8vo. Hardcover. 83 pp. with 5 plates of which 3 are folding. Contemporary beige quarter calf patterned brown cloth sides hinges somewhat worn gilt armorial device of the Duc d'Arenberg on both covers some foxing throughout as is true in all copies. DUC D'ARENBURG - B.H. BRESLAUER COPY OF THIS ESSENTIAL HISTORY OF THE EARLIEST PRINTERS CONTAINING VERY SIGNIFICANT DOCUMENTATION OF GUTENBERG IN STRASSBURG THE MOST IMPORTANT BEING THE FIRST REPRODUCTIONS OF DOCUMENTS GIVEN AT THE MEMORABLE TRIAL OF 1439 IN WHICH GUTENBERG HIMSELF WAS PLAINTIFF. THE DOCUMENTS ARE NOW DESTROYED AND EVERY SUBSEQUENT REPRODUCTION DEPENDS ON THE PRESENT WORK. OUR COPY CONTAINS TWO EXTRA PLATES NOT FOUND IN ORDINARY COPIES. According to Pierce Butler Laborde's work is "of permanent historical scholarly value." This sentiment is shared by Frederick Goff who described Laborde's work as "valuable for us since it contains lithographic facsimiles of several of the important passages in the testimonies of the lawsuit then extant which is the nearest thing we have to the original documents." The text of the Gutenberg lawsuit is reprinted "verbatini et literatim" along with a French translation. Also included are reproductions of the WATERMARKS of said documents. All of these precious documents were incinerated during the Prussian bombardment of Strassburg in 1870. The additional full-page plates in the present copy are stylized reproductions of the woodcuts utilized as models for the steel engravings on pp. 16 and 17. "Whereas Laborde's conclusions have in great part been superseded these excellent and faithful reproductions will always possess a high historical interest. . The work opens with a bibliographical essay on the hypotheses of previous writers and concludes with the results arrived at by the author himself. These are: That 1410 is the probable date of the discovery of printing in the Low Countries; that 1423 is that of the invention of movable types by "Lorenz Coster" at Haarlem; that 1436 is the authentic date of the first experiments of Gutenberg at Strasbourg ; and that 1452 is the certain date of the invention by Gutenberg of cast types at Mayence sic. The rest of the book is occupied by an attempt to establish these theses and there are many facsimiles of type and woodcuts." Bigmore & Wyman I 410. Laborde transcribed not without errors the texts of the lawsuit of Strassburg resident Jerge Dritzehen against Gutenberg; these were derived from six entries in different parts of three several manuscript registers in the city of Strassburg. According to Laborde the first of these were written in a volume described by later scholars as "Vol. A" which consisted of two quires each of 42 sheets or 84 leaves in total; they were covered by a sheet of parchment which had become yellow and soiled; on the recto was written "Dicta. Testium magni consilij Anno Domini M.CCC. Tricesimo noni." The paper which had turned yellow and brown on the edge measured 10 x 9 inches. The second volume "Vol. B" was bound in parchment and consisted of 24 sheets or 48 leaves of paper sewn together 43 of the leaves being written upon. According to Laborde everything connected with the 1439 Lawsuit was written by the same scribe. Laborde's three illustrations of the watermarks two different bull's head and one balance were printed in sepia; the excellent facsimiles of eleven different passages from the Lawsuit were made from lithographic tracings. All were published here for the first time. THE AUTHOR: Marquis de Laborde 1807-1869 studied at Gottingen and afterwards travelled extensively in the East. He subsequently held several diplomatic positions and was curator of the antiquities in the Louvre from 1848 to 1854 and director of the Archives of the Empire from 1856 until his death. He wrote extensively on archeology art printing and engraving.

1800ref. 14404Paris: Printed by Langlois 1800. Rare colour-printed copper engraving on wove paper. Very good condition apart from some overall light soiling minor foxing and a tiny nick at the edge of the right margin. A beautiful plate with stunning early colour from Lacépède's "La Menagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle" an important scholarly work and one of the finest examples of eighteenth-century French natural history illustration. A professor of zoology at the Museum of Natural History the French naturalist Bernard-Germain-Étienne Delaville Comte de Lacépède 1756-1825 was a versatile and precocious scholar who published a number of books on zoology physics and music. He was greatly influenced by the pioneering naturalist Georges Louis Marie Leclerc comte de Buffon whom he succeeded as Intendant at the Jardin du Roi which later became the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle in 1793. During his tenure Lacépède completed a comprehensive study of amphibians and reptiles Historie Naturelle des Quadrupèdes Ovipares et des Serpens which was published as a supplement to Buffon's magnum opus on animal classification Histoire Naturelle Générale et Particulière. In 1800-1 he published the first edition of La Menagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle a thorough survey of the various species of quadrupeds reptiles and amphibians in the impressive collection of the Museum of Natural History. This magnificent work was comprised of descriptive text written by Lacépède and his colleague Georges L. C. Baron Cuvier 1769-1832 as well as a number of finely rendered plates after the most eminent natural history artists of the period Nicolas Maréchal 1753-1803 Nicolas Huet 1770-1830 and Léon de Wailly 1801-1824. Painted from life on vellum these beautifully detailed illustrations faithfully captured the appearance of the wondrous animals in the Paris menagerie. A pupil of J. G. Wille and C. N. Cochin Simon Charles Miger was a royal academician and a talented engraver who executed numerous portraits and natural history plates.

Referring to the allemande "When the dance was introduced in Paris where it became popular in the 1760s and 1770s it was done quite differently from the German way at least according to the French dancing master Simon Guillaume. The main interest of the French version lay in a series of joined hand positions through which the partners moved by passing under each other's arms turning each other around and passing behind each other's back. The steps to the dance were of secondary importance judging from the perfunctory manner in which they are treated in French books describing the allemande and seem to have been subject to some variation.In his Almanach Dansant 1770 Guillaume described two allemande steps out of the several he said existed the main one in 2/4 time and another in 3/8."

ARCADIAN, Cruise Ship – DAVEY & HACKNEY, photographersABAA

A Cruise on the R. M. S. P. "Arcadian" cover title

1912ref. 410929London: Davey & Hackney 1912. Some rubbing to binding. Photos with some age toning and occasional fading but generally well preserved and crisp. Album containing 39 mounted black and white photographs the first nine 11 1/4 x 7 inches or vice versa; the remaining 6 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches or vice versa. Each photo is captioned in the lower margin of the print. In a padded leather album titled in gilt on the front cover. The photos presumably assembled in this album to commemorate a single voyage show: profile view of the ship from port the dining room social hall smoke room writing room gymnasium promenade deck swimming bath Captain Custance dancing deck boat deck Southampton docks deep sea trawlers playing cricket Leith thread the needle race tennis boxing. The final picture shows the "Arcadian" in a fjord in Norway. SS Arcadian was a Barrow-in-Furness built passenger liner constructed in 1899 by Vickers Sons & Maxim Ltd for the Pacific Steam Navigation Company originally named Ortona. She was renamed Arcadian in 1910 after the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company acquired her in 1906. She started her first world cruise in January 1912 the largest dedicated cruise ship in the world at that time. These photos document her use as a cruise ship so must date from circa 1912. In World War I she served with the Royal Navy and was sunk by a U-boat in 1917. On 15 April 1917 Arcadian was en route from Thessaloniki Salonika to Alexandria with a company of 1335 troops and crew and escorted by a Japanese Navy destroyer. Shortly after completing a boat drill while 26 miles north east of the Greek island of Milos Arcadian was hit by a single torpedo from the German submarine SM UC-74 and sank within six minutes with the loss of 279 lives. A contemporary newspaper article described how four of Arcadian’s overcrowded lifeboats were successfully lowered before she sank. Some of the dead were cooks and stokers who were working below decks. The escorting destroyer had two torpedoes launched at her while she was attempting to rescue men from the water; survivors reported that she had lowered three of her own boats while going “at full speed”. More survivors who had been clinging to a raft were rescued at midnight by the Q-ship HMS Redbreast. Among the dead was the eminent bacteriologist Sir Marc Armand Ruffer who was returning to Alexandria after advising on the control of an epidemic among troops based at Thessaloniki Wikipedia.

LESEBUCH FOR BLINDENSCHULEN III. Theil. 2. Band. Reader for Schools for the Blind Part III Book 2

1884ref. 55054Wien Vienna and Berlin: IM K.K. Schulbocher-Verlag / Gedruckt Von AD. Schulze 1884. Very good. First edition of this Austrian lesson books for blind children part of the famed series from the noted publisher containing both Braille and an embossed Latin alphabet showing the field's move toward the Braille system. Though Braille is now the dominant alphabet for the blind "the system was not given an immediate welcome" note Carter and Morison in PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN; indeed Braille was one of several competing writing and printing systems for the blind until 1878 when an international congress for blind education in Paris selected it as the standard. Even so the output of pedagogical materials did not immediately pivot to Braille. This volume captures that transition with a title page in raised letter and - more importantly - a raised latter key to the Braille system which follows mounted to a stub at the beginning of the book a snapshot of the slow but deliberate shift to the new standard. Austria has been called the "cradle of education for the blind" owing to its early establishment of K.K. Blinden-Erziehungs-Institut a school for the blind in Vienna in 1804 Monroe and its associated press. The editor of this volume from the press Simon Heller was director of the Israelitischen Blindeninstituts which specialized in the education of blind Jewish children. Austrian books for the education of the blind are now difficult to find. One of the largest collection of such books Alexander Mell's was "almost completely destroyed by the Nazis" in Word War II a fate that was common for many such collections Stuckey. 13'' x 10''. Quarter brown cloth with marbled boards. 144 pages with Braille embossment to rectos and versos. Spine cloth sunned label perished. Some staining internally unobtrusive. Front hinge started at top.
