réf. 155015Lucerne: C. J. Bucher Ltd 1972. Remarkable and strangely moving First and sole edition one of 300 copies only privately printed. This example preserves the scarce brown wrapper with the printed word "Tenage" along one edge. "One intriguing photobook from the early 1970s was made by an elderly US diplomat stationed in Zurich named Byron Y. Berry. Photographed on the streets of various cosmopolitan cities Teenage Styles and Trends 1967-1971: A Retrospect 1972 is a series of street portraits of 'young lads' as Berry called them focusing in particular on the youths' long hair. The book is a recalling of the aged photographer's own lost youth a frank appreciation of beauty and a valuable photo-document of 1960s' street culture. At the time he made this remarkable and strangely moving book. Burton Y. Berry was in his sixties. The book moves us because it is so intimately connected with photography and time - youth and age. First and foremost this is a celebration of beauty. a unique snapshot of an era when it was especially exciting to be young. The subtle but unmistakable erotic undertones however add a personal level that is both beguiling and mysterious. the book is to be valued not only for its contribution to the gay photobook but to the literature of youth fashion and street culture" Parr & Badger. Quarto. 63 full-page black and white photographic illustrations. Original illustrated black and white boards lettered in white to front cover. Housed in a black cloth clamshell box spine lettered in gilt by the Chelsea Bindery. Top edge knocked; wrapper creased and roughly opened: a very good copy. Parr & Badger III pp. 77 and 80. hardcover
1816réf. 55305Paris: Vente 1816. Fine. Royal wedding edition of this popular pre-Revolution comedy issued on the occasion of the marriage of Princess Marie-Caroline and the Duc de Berry - and from the library of the Duchess herself who famously sold her books after her failed coup in 1832. The Duchess's wedding occurred only a year after the restoration of the royal House of Bourbon in 1815 following Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo. On that occasion a special performance of Andrieux's 1787 play was performed for the Duchess a devotee of the theater. This rare edition was printed as a memento of that event which was to have massive implications in French history. The Duchess's new husband was the king's brother; after the Duc de Berry's assassination in 1820 their son became the heir apparent to the French throne. But when the July Revolution of 1830 deposed the Bourbons the Duchess and her son went into exile. In 1832 however the Duchess of Berry clandestinely returned to France to lead a rebellion becoming "the most wanted woman in France" Samuels. Her coup failed and she was once again exiled; her story would later be dramatized in fiction by Alexandre Dumas as LES LOUVES DE MACHECOUL 1859. Realizing she would never return to her beloved library of some 8000 volumes at Chateau Rosny she made the decision to sell it. It was then one of the most famous libraries in France with a tremendous range in philosophy history travel science law theology fiction and theater. This copy's binding and bookplates mark its provenance from the library of the Duchess. It was bound by René Simier 1772-1843 who "had no superior and few rivals during his career" Ramsden 190 with his ticket announcing him as "Binder to the King to Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Berry and to His Royal Highness the Duke of Bordeaux." The binding is in the style the Duchess regularly ordered from Simier featuring her gilt arms on the boards upon a carefully selected full morocco. It further bears the engraved bookplate of Rosny on the unusual pink endpapers. Books from the Duchess's library still appear with some regularity on the market today but rarely with such a close personal connection to the Duchess herself. Contemporary full honey morocco boards tooled in gilt with the arms of the Duchess of Berry bound by René Simier with his ticket "Relieur du Roi de S.A.R. Madame Duchesse de Berry et de S.A.R. Mgr le duc de Bordeaux". Pink glazed endpapers all edges gilt. 4 82 pages. Engraved bookplate of the Bibliothèque de Rosny on front pastedown; bookplates also of Alexis Rouart and Eugène Aubry-Vitet.

réf. 7758London: William Berry at ye Sign of the Globe between Charing Cross and Whitehall. 1680. No binding. Good. 575 x 885 mm. two sheets joined in early outline colour some professional repair to edge tears and reinforcement to lower corners not affecting the image with the accompanying page of geographical tables otherwise in good condition. A fine rare English double-hemispheric seventeenth century world map. In September 1678 Robert Morden fl. 1669 d. 1703 and William Berry 1639-1718 petitioned the crown for 'a licence to do all general and particular maps of the several parts of the world according to an alphabeticall manner'. Morden's connection with what appears to be the birth of the folio atlas is not heard of again. Berry began publishing a series of large two sheet maps with a group of the world and continents advertised in the 'London Gazette' from 1-5 July 1680. The world is also announced in the 'Term Catalogues' for the summer of that year. This only mentions the world map which would undoubtedly have been finished first and the continents would have followed. Berry did not advertise his next two sheet map that of England until February 1682. 'Through the 1680s Berry published nearly forty large maps of parts of the world sufficient to cover it all. From the late 1680s he clearly offered them bound together as a collection of maps as a handful of examples are known but this was clearly not the intention for the maps as none have borne any title page. Examples are known in the British Library the Library of Congress and the National Maritime Museum Greenwich all bearing either thirty-seven or thirty-eight maps. An example has been noted for sale by Maggs Brothers which bore sixty-nine maps the balance being made up of contemporary English maps by other cartographers dating the atlas to c.1704 and two further offered at Christies auctions in London in the 1980s' Burden. Cartographically the world map is drawn directly from that of Alexis-Hubert Jaillot 1674. Jaillot's map was in turn derived from Nicolas Sanson's geography who is here recognised in the running title above 'Described by Sanson Corrected and amended By William Berry'. Sanson had far more of a reputation in cartographic circles than Jaillot so it is natural that Berry would use his name. These 'amendments' include the patriotically named islands off Tierra del Fuego and 'New Albion' placed in California. New Guinea is distinctly an island and there is no southern continent. An ornate cartouche lower centre includes an effusive dedication to Charles II.
