Description
London: Ollier, 1819. First Edition. 1st edition. Gilt and inlaid crushed green morocco, signed by Riviere & Son in gilt on the turn-in. Inlaid morocco doublures, green silk moire endpapers, original wrappers preserved and bound in. Slightest bit of rubbing at the extremities, clean and fresh internally, near fine. Written after Shelley had left England for good and with a preface dated in Naples, December 20, 1818, Rosalind and Helen tells the story of two lovers (based on Percy and Mary Shelley) whose love is sacred and justified, though unconsecrated by marriage. One of the "Other Poems" included here is the well-known Ozymandias, a sonnet exploring the impermanence of grandeur (a piece apparently inspired by the British Museum's acquisition of a massive Egyptian statue of Ramesses II).

Description
Four leaves of illus. 30 folding leaves. Large 8vo (305 x 208 mm.), orig. yellow semi-stiff wrappers (upper wrappers somewhat soiled, both wrappers with some worming), new stitching. [Korea]: 1765. First edition of this book published on royal command by King Yŏngjo of Chosŏn. The book was compiled by Kim Kwi-ju 金龜柱 (1740-86), the older brother of Queen Consort Chŏngsun (1745-1805). The royal Preface is furthermore written in Kim’s standard script calligraphy. Years after the compilation of this book, factional intrigue under Yŏngjo’s successor, Chŏngjo, led to Kim being exiled, after which he soon died. Our book outlines sacrifices at the Confucian temple in Seoul, including the Kyesŏng 啓聖祠 and Songjŏl 崇節祠 shrines. The Kyesŏng shrine, built in 1669, was the site of sacrifices to the fathers of several Confucian sages, including Confucius and Mencius. At the temple as a whole, a number of Chinese and Korean Confucian sages and worthies were worshipped. The book contains illustrations outlining the layout of the shrines, with the placement of the tablets for the various Confucian scholars marked with their names. The royal Preface is dated 1765. Ordering the compilation of a record of past exemplars apparently made the king reflect on his own character and actions. He wrote, “when I with my shallow learning recite the writings of the sages and worthies, but remain unable to learn the Way of the sages and worthies, and when I admire the deeds of the sages and worthies, but cannot act in their manner, it is like knowing what something tastes like but not get to eat it, or like knowing the road but being unable to follow it. Even though I might laugh at people of the past, why would people of the future not laugh at me too?” Minor worming, mostly marginal, towards end. See WorldCat 855527023 for a digital copy.

Description
Amsterdam: Nico Israel, 1976. First and Limited Edition. Leather bound. Near fine. One of 1000 copies, folio size, 257 pp., in a custom binding with clamshell box. The Nuremberg Chronicle (also known as the "Liber Chronicarum") "is, after the Gutenberg Bible, probably the most celebrated of early printed books. It is a compendium of history, geography and the wonders of the world as viewed from medieval Nuremberg, with some 1800 illustrations provided by the multiple use, for different subjects, of 645 beautiful woodblocks..." (n.b., quote from "The Nuremberg Chronicle Designs" by Adrian Wilson, printed for The Roxburghe Club of San Francisco and the Zamorano Club of Los Angeles, 1969). Adrian Wilson, known for his Press in Tuscany Alley (one of the best of the San Francisco fine press printshops of its day), here turned his considerable talents and experience in book design to the exploration of the page layouts for the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493). The story of the discovery of these layouts (exemplars) is herein recounted, telling the story of how this magnificent book came into being. Wilson relates how he worked with the librarians who had custody of the German and Latin Chronicles, the many serendipitous finds of stray pieces of the puzzle, and the many with whom he worked to put all of these pieces into place. "With all the resources at hand we have attempted to reconstruct the making of the Nuremberg Chronicle: the compilation of manuscript sources by its author; the artists' first concepts for the illustrations; the patrons' agreements for financing the publication; the layouts; the printing; the advertising; the distribution, and the final settlement..." (n.b., from the Preface, p. 11). This copy with a unique custom binding by Ernest Hassbaum of Lodi (1913-1994). The volume is bound in full brown leather, with a debossed wrap-around silhouette of (presumably) the skyline of medieval Nuremberg, protected by a clamshell box with the same skyline in black leather laid onto the cloth covering. PLEASE NOTE: the first picture shown is our best attempt to depict the debossed skyline, it is not representative of the colour of the leather binding. Selected as one of the Netherlands Fifty Books of the Year. ___DESCRIPTION: Custom binding as described above with Hassbaum's name on the bottom front turn-in, the spine with two slightly darker brown pieces of leather laid down (one with the middle of the wrap-around skyline silhouette, the other with the title and author debossed in black), hand-made marbled endpapers, at both front and back are reproductions of a medieval map on rust-coloured paper, the lettering of the title on the title page by Hermann Zapf, replete with reproductions of individual pages of the Chronicle (both the exemplars and the final, printed pages) as well as other, related illustrations, most of them in black-and-white, twelve pages in full colour, with extensive Bibliography at the rear; Monotype Bembo printed offset on specially made ivory wove paper, folio size (13 7/8" by 9 3/4"), pagination: [2, printed map pages] [3-8] 9-253 [1, blank] [1, colophon] [2, printed map pages], one of 1000 copies (unnumbered). Housed in a custom clamshell box as described above. ___CONDITION: Volume near fine, the boards clean, the leather smooth and supple, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; a few very light marks to the leather, some lighter areas surrounding the silhouette (we assume from the process of depicting the same), else fine. The clamshell box almost near fine, the leather skyline onlay without noticeable wear, the cloth covering clean other than a few light, stray marks, structurally sound with no tears, however, a bit of looseness (likely due to the weight of the book), light wear along the bottom edges, the corners just beginning to fray a bit, some light dustiness to the top edge. Altogether, a near fine, visually stunning binding, compatible with the subject. ___CITATION: Wilson, no. 177. ___POSTAGE: Please note that the book and box together are unusually heavy and additional postage may apply; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

Milano: Giovanni Ricordi [PNs 23171-186], 1852. Oblong folio. 19th century marbled boards with decorative label to upper with titling in manuscript within decorative blue border. 1f. (recto title incorporating a fine lithographic illustration of a scene from the opening of Act III of the opera by Corbeita after a drawing by Focosi, verso blank), 1f. (recto index of 16 numbers, verso blank), 5-133, [i] (blank) pp. With occasional performance markings in pencil and violet ink and occasional additional text in violet ink. Binding slightly worn, rubbed and bumped; rebacked in brown cloth. Some wear and thumbing, primarily to corners; minor foxing; title slightly soiled, with 2" tear repaired and early signature to lower right corner trimmed; restoration to first two signatures, primarily to edges and lower outer corners. First Edition of the arrangement for piano solo. Rigoletto, in three acts to a libretto by Francesco Maria Piave after Victor Hugo's play Le roi s'amuse, was first performed in Venice at the Teatro La Fenice on March 11, 1851. "The première, with a cast that included Raffaele Mirate (Duke), Felice Varesi (Rigoletto...) and Teresa Brambilla (Gilda), was an enormous success, and the opera, in spite of continuing problems with local censors, almost immediately became part of the basic repertory, being performed more than 250 times in its first ten years. Rigoletto has never lost this position and remains one of the most frequently performed operas in the international repertory... Rigoletto is almost always placed as the true beginning of Verdi's maturity, the essential dividing line between 'early' works and the succession of repertory pieces that will follow..."

Description
New York: Beadle and Company, Publishers, 118 William Street, 1863. Octavo (16 x 10.5 cm.), [vii]-x, [11]-99] pages. Stated "Revised and Enlarged Edition"; originally published 1859. The Dime Recipe Book serves as companion to the Dime Cook Book that was published just fourteen days earlier in July 1859; second in the series of Beadle's Housekeeper’s Hand Books. "The first edition has ... 100 pages ... A revised edition of the same size and with buff wrappers was issued by Irwin P. Beadle & Co. and was copyrighted December 19, 1862. It has 72 [sic] pages..." (Johannsen, A. House of Beadle and Adams and its dime and nickel novels). ~ Metta Victoria Fuller Victor (1831-1885) was author of more than one hundred dime novels, including Alice Wilde (1860) the first dime novel; and the Dead Letter (1866) considered the first full-length work of crime fiction. The salmon-colored wrappers depict a young woman carefully pouring a liquid into a beaker. In front of her, a scale and mortar and pestle sit on a table; and behind her a cabinet with small drawers, indicating more of an apothecary’s shop than a kitchen. The recipes do indeed lean more toward medical and household recipes, but a section for the kitchen is included as well. ~ Internally age-toned; rubbing to the corners. Publisher's faded salmon-colored wrappers lacking a 1 cm. chip from lower right corner; closed tears to wrapper at spine. A single thick stitch with a loop of cord was added by a homemaker seeking to hang the book on a nail or hook. Better than good. Very scarce. [OCLC locates four copies of this enlarged edition (and four copies of the 1859 first); Cagle 782 notes the 1859 first edition only; not in Lowenstein (the Dime Cook Book of 1860 is included), not in Bitting (includes the Dime Cook Book 1864); Johannsen, vol. 1, pages 373 & 375, no. 2].

Description
Philadelphia, Penn: I. L. Cragin & Co, 1890. Cord-bound booklet, stapled in wrappers (11.5 x 7.8 cm.), 31, [1] pages. FIRST EDITION. A promotional cookbook for Dobbins' electric soap, manufactured by I.L. Cragin & Co. The recipes alternate with testimonials for the laundry soap. The company used 'electric' in the title in order to capitalize on people's fascination with electricity at that time. The soap itself was formulated with a very alkaline base, which actually gave it a bit of a 'sting' which reminded people even more of electricity. This booklet starts off with several pages of advertisement for Dobbins Electric Soap, emphasizing how the soap is so strong, one doesn't need to be rough with one's clothes to clean them. The booklet spends the rest of its pages alternating between Aunt Matilda's recipes and testimonials from customers who have used the soap. Some of the recipes included are: Pea Soup, Pepperpot, Broiled Salmon, Roast Duck, Chicken Croquettes, Lobster Salad, and Lemon Pie. It is unclear if the title of the booklet was meant as a play on words or a spelling mistake, after all it is full of recipes and 'receipts' from Dobbins' Electric Soap's customers in the form of testimonials. On the inside front cover, I. L. Cragin states if you buy fifteen bars of their soap, and mail in the wrappers as proof, they will send you a dollars worth of "first class sheet music for free!" Also there is an advertisement for S. E. Brackett, a grocery and general store in Leeds Junction, ME, that states if you buy 7 bars of soap from them you can get seven "beautiful Shakespeare cards". Fine, in publisher's black-titled salmon colored wrappers. [OCLC locates ten copies].

Description
México: Construcción, 1945. (weak hinges, marginal wear in covers, some foxing, not affecting text or plates). b/w plates, drawings, plans, measured plans, elevations, tables, graphs, advertisements, illustrated wrappers. This periodical is virtually unknown and does not appear in the National Library of Mexico, or UNAM or OCLC. The contributors were leaders in post WWII an integrated movement of architecture, engineering and planning to build a modern Mexico. Despite the technical sounding title of the magazine, the interest was in achieving a broader integration of architecture, urban planning, construction and art and thus "Construction" was born along with the words "decoration, art and industry in the title. Many of the contributors to the magazine were part of the planning and construction of the University Nacional Autonóma de Mexico and generally in post-WWII urban planning and influenced modernity in architecture. Alberto Dovalí Jaime pioneering work with reinforced concrete led the way to the boom of buildings and public structures that used that material. Architect Carlos Lazo Barreiro (Mexico City 1914-1955) was a founder in 1943 of the magazine "Construcción". Engineer Alberto Dovalí Jaime, the Mexican pioneer of reinforced concrete (RC) in Mexico was also one of the founders. Engineers Dovalí Jaime (Secretary of Communications) and Vicente Guerrero and Gama designed the first prestressed concrete bridge in Mexico, over the Santa Catarina River, in Monterrey. General director was Almiro P. (Pérez) Moratinos from UNAM. The magazine documents planning and architecture in states outside of Mexico indicating a national viewpoint. The The sections of the magazine included with some variations: Temas Generales Ingenieria, Matematicas, Planificacion, Arquitectura, Arqueologia, Seccion Industrial, Arte, Decoracion and each issue contains robust contributions. The archaeology sections included information on what could be considered patrimonial, such as colonial churches One of the only references to this publication: "Bajo una línea parecida, surgió en 1943 "Construcción, revista de ingeniería, arquitectura, arte, decoración e industria". El apartado que se dedicó a urbanismo estuvo a cargo de Carlos Lazo, y a pesar del enfoque técnico de la revista, destaco el interés por lograr una integración más amplia. Lejos de los debates surgidos en la primera revista de principios de siglo -El Arte y la Ciencia- cuando las carreras de ingeniería y arquitectura se disputaban sus alcances, la revista "Construcción" nació insólitamente junto a las palabras "decoración, arte e industria" (Canales González, Ana Fernanda.
