Title: THE HOLZHEIMER VENETIAN GLOBE GORES OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY
Author: (CARTOGRAPHY - 16TH CENTURY GLOBES, FACSIMILES). WOODWARD, DAVID
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Madison, Wisconsin: The Juniper Press, 1987. No. 116 OF 150 COPIES. 632 x 250 mm. (25 x 9 3/4"). 2p.l., 19 [1] pp. Black quarter buckram over maroon marbled paper boards, spine lettered in gilt. In a custom maroon buckram clamshell box. WITH 24 FACSIMILE GLOBE GORES. Signed by Woodward on the limitation page. Just a hint of use to the box, booklet corners just a touch rubbed, otherwise as new. This sizable, attractive publication reproduces one of the largest complete sets of 16th century globe gores. Dating from around 1574, the original gores, which, when assembled, would make a globe measuring just under 70 centimeters in diameter, have been attributed to brothers Livio and Giulio Sanuto, Venetian cartographers and engravers. Little is known about the gores' origin; the accompanying essay suggests they may have never made it to the final stages of publication and production, possibly stopped by an outbreak of plague. This facsimile was created from the only extant set, in the collection of Arthur Holzheimer (1932-2025), and was produced by his research foundation, along with the Newberry Library. The gores are accompanied by a booklet by noted cartography scholar David Woodward (1942-2004), which provides background and the evidence supporting the attribution of the gores to the Sanuto brothers..

Title: Plain Directions for Accidents, Emergencies, and Poisons : keep this where you can readily find it... Enlarged edition. One hundred twentieth thousand
Author: [Turner, Alexis Paul; a Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia and physician to several of the charitable institutions of the same city.]
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: New York: Mutual Life Insurance Company of New-York, 1875. Octavo (18.5 x 13 cm.), 126 pages. Illustrated. Appendix. Index. Stated "Enlarged edition" and "one hundred twentieth thousand". Author name from OCLC records. While all recorded printings prior to this are dated 1875, the "one hundred tenth thousand" and other lower numbers contain the printers slug "S.W. Green, Printer". This work appeared in shorter form(64 pages) in 1874, credited to Alexis Paul Turner (1840-1892), for sale by James Hammond, and "Distributed through the Howard Hospital and Infirmary for Incurables, 1518 and 1520 Lombard Street, Philadelphia." The many subsequent printings were publications of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York. It's only fitting that an insurance company would publish a guide to first aid in the home. And this guide, developed by doctors at Howard Hospital, was "Distributed to its policy-holders by the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New-York, F.S. Winston, President." Some light age-toning to text block. Gray wrapper, titled and decorated in black, and with a printed number ticket applied to spine; some light wear to wrapper at spine, otherwise near fine. The wrapper contains the stamps of "Amos D. Smith, General Agent, Boston" and "Highland Springs Public Library". [OCLC locates no copies labled "one hundred twentieth thousand" and just twenty copies of all 1875 printings; just one copy of the 64 page, 1874 edition].
