1905rif. 144261905. Molteni Radiguet & Massiot. Vue Prise du Palais du Shah Les Nouveaux Quartiers de Téhéran 1905. Original photographic glass lantern slide recording an elevated view from the Shah's palace in Tehran during the reign of Mozaffar al-Din Shah Qajar 1896-1907. The image encompasses the royal palace gardens and surrounding urban landscape with the developing districts of Tehran extending into the distance. Its French title translating to "View Taken from the Shah's Palace the New Districts of Tehran" specifically identifies the city's expanding neighborhoods. Dating from the final years of Qajar absolute monarchy the photograph records Tehran immediately before the Persian Constitutional Revolution of 1905-1911 which led to the establishment of a constitutional government and the opening of Persia's first national parliament in 1906. Vue Prise du Palais du Shah Les Nouveaux Quartiers de Téhéran. Paris: Projections Molteni Radiguet & Massiot 1905. Original gelatin silver bromide positive glass lantern slide measuring 8.5 x 10 cm. The photograph presents a broad elevated perspective overlooking the palace gardens toward Tehran's surrounding buildings and newer residential districts. The slide bears the French title "VUE PRISE DU PALAIS DU SHAH-LES NOUVEAUX QUARTIERS DE TEHERAN" and the publisher's identification "Projections Molteni Radiguet & Massiot 15 bd des filles du calvaire-Paris." Produced for projection through an optical or magic lantern the glass transparency could be enlarged onto a screen for public lectures educational presentations and illustrated travel programs. The Parisian optical firm Molteni was acquired in 1899 by Arthur Radiguet and Georges Massiot who continued manufacturing photographic projection equipment and lantern slides for scientific educational and public presentations. Arthur Radiguet a pioneer in electrical and optical instruments who also worked extensively with early X-ray technology died in 1905. The firm's distribution of photographic views brought images of distant cities and historic sites before European audiences through projected lectures. This Tehran view records the Qajar capital during a period of urban expansion and political unrest with its French inscription identifying the newer neighborhoods as the principal subject. The surviving glass positive preserves an early twentieth-century photographic view of the city before subsequent phases of modernization under the Pahlavi dynasty.

1851rif. ST15472Paris: L. Curmer & V. Lecou 1851.

With numerous in-text black & white illustrations seven of which are full-page and eight botanical color plates including frontispiece all with light pink titled tissue guards. Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of Edward Nicholas Hurt see below. Vicaire IV 639-40. Light scattered patches of foxing occasionally found on plates though not affecting the image but overall a beautiful copy the binding lustrous and wonderfully well preserved and the pages especially fresh very white and entirely clean. Penned by a former editor of "Le Figaro" who had a passion for flora this is an enchanting meditation on the delights of the garden illustrated here for the first time by some of the leading artists of the period. Writing a series of letters to a friend who had left to travel abroad the author decides to do some travelling of his own within the confines of his garden. On his botanical sojourn he lovingly describes the minutiae and changes that occur within this world which contains more than 200 species of flora and fauna. The narrative often includes the history of the various plants and flowers while adding the author's own memories and colorful lyricism. The work first appeared in 1845 but in this edition Karr's garden is brought to life with a great many illustrations including eight full-page color botanical images. The author of several autobiographical romances Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr 1808-90 moved to Nice in 1855 where he devoted himself entirely to horticulture and according to Britannica "practically founded the trade in cut flowers on the Riviera." The bookplate here is that of notable bibliophile and barrister Edward Nicholas Hurt 1795-1867 of Derbyshire and Marylebone London. He married Caroline Strutt daughter of the immensely wealthy philanthropist and social reformer Joseph Strutt 1765-1844 who was twice Mayor of Derby. As the Strutt arms are incorporated into the escutcheon of Hurt's ornate bookplate the plate can be dated to no earlier than their wedding in 1828. Though the book is not uncommon on the market it would be impossible to find a copy in better condition than the present one. L. Curmer & V. Lecou unknown books
