1928rif. 177453Newtown Montgomeryshire: The Gregynog Press 1928. First Gregynog edition number 200 of 250 copies of this historical romance based on Welsh folklore first published in 1828. Founded in 1922 by sisters Margaret and Gwendoline Davies the Gregynog Press was one of the leading fine presses of the first half of the 20th century and predominantly focused on Welsh material. Bayntun Rivière and the Gregynog Press were connected through George Fisher 1879-1970 the latter's binder from 1924. Fisher completed his apprenticeship at Rivière's and studied under Douglas Cockerell. It was at Fisher's suggestion that a number of copies of every Gregynog edition were bound in more luxurious covers. Following Gwendoline's death in 1954 Margaret donated most of the machinery to the National Library of Wales. The University of Wales reopened the press under the name "Gwasg Gregynog" in 1978. Large octavo 153 x 231 mm. Numerous wood-engravings within text by Horace Walter Bray. Contemporary blue crushed morocco by Bayntun Rivière spine lettered and ruled in gilt in compartments raised bands dotted in gilt covers framed board edges dotted and wide turn-ins decorated with wave-roll and scrollwork cornerpieces in gilt marbled endpapers top edge gilt fore edge uncut. Twentieth-century armorial bookplate of one Richard Campbell perhaps of the Campbell's of Kildalloig and later Carmarthenshire to front free endpaper verso. Spine and board edges toned a handful of marks to covers contents clean: a near-fine copy. hardcover

1838rif. AMO-3063aris, Charpentier, Libraire-éditeur, 1838. [Imprimerie d'Ad. Everat et Cie]. 1 volume in-18 (18 x 11,5 cm) de XXII-408-(2) pages. Reliure demi-cuir de Russie vert sombre, dos lisse orné de roulettes dorées, plats de papier marbré, doublures et gardes de papier blanc, coins de parchemin (reliure de l'époque). Reliure en excellent état. Intérieur très frais malgré les rousseurs habituelles (les premiers et derniers feuillets étant plus touchés que les autres). Nouvelle édition. Première édition Charpentier dans ce format. L'édition originale de la Physiologie du mariage de Balzac parait à la fin de décembre 1829 sous la date de 1830, en 2 volumes in-8. Une deuxième édition voit le jour en 1834, également en 2 volumes in-8. On trouve ensuite les quatre éditions Charpentier. La première en 1838, la nôtre, inaugure avec quelques autres premiers titres le lancement de la Bibliothèque Charpentier dans le format in-18 anglais, dit format Charpentier, puis viennent les éditions de 1840, 1843 et 1848. C'est pour contrecarrer la contrefaçon belge que Gervais Charpentier crée sa collection in-18, de typographie compacte et à bon marché. Une contrefaçon belge parait d'ailleurs en 1834 à Bruxelles chez Méline. La publication de la Physiologie du mariage fit scandale, mais le Tout-Paris le considéra comme un événement et le succès pour Balzac fut sans précédent, d’autant plus qu’on voulait savoir qui se cachait sous la signature anonyme du jeune célibataire qui devint aussitôt un auteur à la mode (1830). A la fois essai, méditation, et récit, le texte oscille entre l’étude de mœurs et le traité analytique. C’est d’ailleurs dans ce dernier genre que la cinquième édition de l’ouvrage (Furne) classera l’œuvre en 1846 dans la section Études analytiques de la Comédie humaine. Mais malgré son caractère osé (pour l’époque), sa structure peu conforme au roman balzacien, la Physiologie jette les fondations de la Comédie humaine. Quelques aphorismes Balzaciens sur la femme et le mairage : Une femme honnête est essentiellement mariée. Une femme honnête à moins de quarante ans. Une femme mariée dont les faveurs sont payables n’est pas une femme honnête. Quand un homme a gagné vingt mille livres de rente, sa femme est une femme honnête, quel que soit le genre de commerce auquel il a dû sa fortune. Une femme honnête est celle que l’on craint de compromettre. La femme d’un banquier est toujours une femme honnête ; mais une femme assise dans un comptoir ne peut l’être qu’autant que son mari fait un commerce très-étendu et qu’elle ne loge pas au-dessus de sa boutique. Un volume savoureux où l'humour grinçant et réaliste est présent à chaque ligne. Très bel exemplaire conservé dans son élégante première reliure de l'époque. Cette édition au format in-18 de la Physiologie du mariage de Balzac marque une date importante dans l'histoire de l'édition au XIXe siècle.
1751rif. AQ34346London: Printed for J. Robinson 1751. 4 278 273-287pp 1. Complete despite erratic pagination. Modern gilt-tooled green morocco contrasting red morocco lettering-piece. Short tear to leaf U4 very occasional light spotting. An enlarged edition printed in the year after the first of a curious collection of comic advertisements found in coffee houses Vauxhall gardens and London theatres. The extracts - though primarily eccentric often outlandish and somewhat perverse pleas for some unorthodox service or amorous encounter - include the occasional theatrical notice notably a printed barb directed by David Garrick towards fellow player James Quinn; and in an infrequent foray into sporting life an amusing advertisement placed by a presumably male lovestruck spectator at a cricket match: 'Whereas on Monday last at the Cricket Match in the Artillery Ground was observ'd a young Woman dress'd in a blue and white washing gown a black petticoat and a black Beaver Hat with an Orange Ribbon round it.If the said young Woman will be pleased to describe a Place Where she may de directed or be spoken with may hear of honourable Proposals'. A third and final edition appeared in 1759. All editions are scarce the second is no exception; ESTC records copies at just two locations in the British Isles Cambridge and Oxford and two further in North America Harvard and Washington. ESTC N3048. Second edition with additions. 12mo. Printed for J. Robinson unknown

The contemt of this volume which is volume II of Gerhard F. Müller's. "Voyages et Découvertes faites par les Russes le long des Côtes de la Mer glaciale & sur l'Océan oriental. is wholly devoted to the description of the Amur River and its borderlines as extracted and translated from Nicolaus Witsen's work "Sur la Tartarie Septentrionale & Orientale" Noord en Oost Tartarye Ofte Bondig Ontwerp Van eenig dier Landen en Volken. Amsterdam 1692."In the nineteenth century Russian historians and ethnographers discovered that Witsen had used many Russian sources that had since been lost and they praised Noord en Oost Tartarye ‘as the most remarkable book about Asiatic Russia ever written by a foreigner.’ During the Soviet period Witsen was seen as scholar who had ‘opened up a new era in the study of Siberia.’ Nowadays he is respectfully mentioned on many local Russian websites as the first to have reported on their town province nationality or language."huygens.knaw.n. unknown

1967rif. 191651967. Columbia Pictures Corporation To Sir With Love 1967 documents the emergence of Sidney Poitier as a central figure in global Black cinema and the articulation of race authority and education within a transatlantic context during the Civil Rights era. The film places a Black teacher in a working-class London classroom foregrounding questions of discipline respectability and interracial social dynamics. These lobby cards provide visual evidence of how Poitier's screen persona functioned within narratives of moral authority and social mobility supporting research into African American film history postwar race relations and the international circulation of Black cultural figures. Archive of 11 original lobby cards issued by Columbia Pictures Corporation measuring between approximately 10 x 7.5 inches 10 x 8 inches and 14 x 11 inches comprising four color and seven black and white photographic stills. Each card features Sidney Poitier in staged scenes from the film including classroom interactions moments of confrontation and instruction and scenes of social engagement with students and colleagues. Notable images include Poitier receiving guidance from a fellow instructor on classroom management interacting with the school headmaster and participating in both boxing and dance sequences reflecting the narrative's blending of discipline and personal connection. Co-star Pamela Dare appears in select images emphasizing interpersonal dynamics central to the film's storyline. Several cards bear verso markings including 1960s distribution stamps and one example with a CBS Studios pastedown referencing a 1972 television broadcast indicating continued circulation beyond the initial theatrical release. Produced at a moment when Sidney Poitier had already become the first African American actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor the film and its promotional materials contributed to shaping his public image as a figure of dignity restraint and institutional authority. To Sir With Love extended this image into an international setting situating issues of race and class within the British educational system while maintaining resonance with American audiences during a period of civil rights struggle and social change. The lobby cards offer insight into how Black masculinity and leadership were visually constructed and marketed in late 1960s cinema. Minor edge wear and light handling marks with occasional verso stamps and pastedown; images remain sharp and colors well-preserved; overall very good. A cohesive visual archive of Sidney Poitier's role in redefining Black representation in mainstream film. unknown
