Title: Le Promptvaire de tovt ce qui est advenv plvs digne de memoire depuis la creation du monde iusques à present
Author: ONGOYS, Jean d' (1530?-1600?)
Seller: Musinsky Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: Paris: Jean de Bordeaux, 1579. 16mo (112 x 82 mm). Collation: ã⁸ ẽ⁸ ĩ⁸ õ⁸ A-Z Aa-Pp⁸ (-Pp3-8). [64], 602 pages (with mispaginations); bound without the last 3 leaves, a supplemental index of bishoprics in France. Italic type, headlines and headings in roman. 12 half-page woodcuts in text, one for each month, all signed with a symbol-monogram of an asterisk atop a small 3-sided rectangle. Typographic headpiece ornaments. (First line of title shaved, a few headlines shaved, especially in quires Hh to the end, title and a few other leaves somewhat finger-soiled, occasional small inkstains). Contemporary sheep over pasteboards, sewn on three double cords, gilt lettering-piece on spine (Chronologie de l’Ongoys), red-speckled edges, blue paper pastedowns, no free endpapers (joints and edges quite worn, some chipping of leather, lower headcap loose). Provenance: a[?] Presteveille, contemporary signature on title-page, the title date crossed out in ink and replaced at the foot with the date 1536 (M.D.XXXVI) in the same hand; contemporary and later marginalia and annotations in the blank portions of the pages on approximately 243 pages (mainly long entries, but including a few pen trials, doodles, and manicules), in at least seven contemporary and later hands (a few early marginalia slightly shaved). *** An illustrated pocket-sized largely secular chronological calendar, copiously annotated by several generations of readers. Printed in small italic types, the calendar records historical events for each day of the year, with a single page devoted to each day. The opening day of each month bears a woodcut illustration. Since only one or two events are recorded for many of the days, large blank spaces abound, inviting readers’ annotations. Whether or not the author and/or printer intended readers to supply their own notes, it was almost inevitable, given the contents and layout, making this a de facto “interactive” book. For this edition d’Ongoys enlarged his historical calendar, first published in 1575, adding supplementary lists of Popes, Emperors, and Kings of France, England, Spain and Portugal. This copy was bound without the final 3-leaf index of French archbishoprics and bishoprics (perhaps for a Protestant reader?). The work may have been inspired by Paul Eber’s bestselling Protestant Calendarium historicum (1st ed. 1550), the first calendar to replace the traditional daily Saints with historical and Reformist figures. D’Ongoy’s emphasis is more secular than Protestant, although a few Biblical references were unavoidable, but he may have himself been of the Reformed faith. (There is only a brief mention of the “troubles” under the 24th of August; it would have been risky in 1579 to allude to the St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre, Henri III having revoked in 1577 most of the concessions granted to the Huguenots the previous year.) A native of northern France, d’Ongoys wrote a few historical compilations and popular circumstantial works, including (according to the BnF) an allegorical satire of the events of St. Bartholomew’s Day. He worked as a printer after his marriage in 1573 to Marie Gervais, widow of the printer Mahiet Le Roux, whose stock she had inherited. Preceding the calendar is a long alphabetical index of the events listed, an index of sources (mainly biblical, classical, and medieval), and, enhancing the resemblance of the work to an almanac, a list of the annual French fairs. Following is a chronological “memoire” of notable historical events which cannot be associated with specific days of the year. The catalogues of Emperors, etc., complete the volume. The fine woodcuts illustrating each month of d’Ongoys’ Promptuaire are signed with a symbol of an asterisk above a table-like 3-sided rectangle. The blocks had previously appeared in 1565 in the calendar of a sextodecimo Book of Hours printed by Thielman II Kerver, where they at that time bore the monogram “I.L.B.” (the abbreviation of the printer-bookseller Jean Le Blanc). Monograms and initials on 16th-century French woodblocks were ownership marks of the publishers or printers who used them, and they were easily excised and replaced. Brun somewhat fancifully called the symbol used here (and in the 1575 edition) a “simplified version” of the device of the de Marnef printing firm. Whether it had anything to do with the de Marnefs (it seems unlikely), the symbol was certainly a mark of the new ownership of the blocks (possibly by Jean de Bordeaux), which had evidently been dispersed along with the rest of Kerver’s printing material after his death in 1572 or 1573. Seven or eight annotators wrote in this copy from shortly after its publication to the second half of the 18th century. The most consistent writer was a contemporary, educated reader whose very small, neat, and now faint notes, in French and Latin, are confined mainly to the margins of the calendar and the following Memoire: he preferred to ignore the large blank spaces on most pages. His notes (I assume he was a man) highlight facts of interest and add personal comments as well as supplementary details, including remarks on the defeat of the Ottomans in Spain in 1491 and 1492 (p. 341). Subsequent annotators recorded later historical events, both political and local: these include floods (in 1697 and again 1755, in and around Tours) and other weather-related events, deaths of well-known individuals, and political events. USTC and OCLC together locate five US institutional copies of this edition, and one of the 1575 edition. The work was reprinted in 1589 under the title Memoire certain des choses les plus notables... (one US copy, Houghton). USTC 3593; Brunet IV: 187, Brun, Livre illustré, p. 260. Cf. Cioranesco 16769 (a 1576 edition, now lost).

Title: The World of To-Morrow. A Junior Book of Forecasts.
Author: EVANS, I.O.
Seller: Ursus Books (United States)
Description: 1933. FUTURISTIC WORLD. The World of To-Morrow. A Junior Book of Forecasts. By Idrisyn Oliver Evans. 163 pp., illustrated with 24 transparent "Diophane" photo-mechanical plates. 8vo, 213 x 135 mm., bound in original publisher's translucent "Rhodoid" boards over original wrappers, yellow cloth spine. London: D. Archer, 1933. First and only edition of this visionary work in which the author anticipates and illustrates with transparent "Diophane" plates, the future uses of solar power, wind generators, tidal generators, "railplanes," a "road-liner" (shades of Bel-Geddes), mid-ocean airports, an artificial planet, cities designed by Le Corbusier, firemen's protective gear, bizarre farming mechanisms, scary "offices of the future" (visions of Orwell's 1984), radiographic forgery detectors, lie detector tests, anti-gas Rayguns, a "World League of Peace" (foretelling the United Nations), a "Super-Calculator" (a proto-computer) and much more. The back cover extolls the book's ultra-modern construction: "This is the first attempt to bring book construction into line with modern requirements... The binding is on the 'Neo-Nevett Tape Slot' principle... With THE BOOK OF TO-MORROW the jacket, which was soon destroyed, has become an integral part of the binding. The covers are made of translucent 'Rhodoid' on which the design has been printed, and this can be given any colour effect of variety of expression by the use of suitable endpapers. The yapp fore-edge also protects the book from wear and the whole cover is stainless and washable" (!). The plastic covers have bowed, and some plates are slightly crinkled, but nevertheless a very attractive copy of an extremely scarce book.

Author: Baxter, George
Seller: Jeremy Norman & Co., Inc. (United States)
Description: London: Chapman & Hall, 1837. Baxter, George (1804-67), printer. The pictorial album; or, cabinet of paintings. Containing eleven designs, executed in oil colours . . . [4], xvi, 71pp. 11 plates (10 in color) plus color-printed vignette on title. London: Chapman and Hall, [1837]. 249 x 185 mm. Publisher's binding of full straight-grain morocco with elaborate gilt stamping on the covers and spine, red and green leather inlays, all edges gilt; boxed. Minor scuffing and edgewear, first few leaves coming loose, some foxing but very good. First Edition, variant without the date in the title; some other copies have the title reading "The pictorial album; or, cabinet of paintings for 1837." George Baxter invented the first commercially viable color printing process, a combination of intaglio and relief methods that he dubbed "oil-color printing." The process, which he patented in 1835, involved "the coloring of an impression from an outline or key block, which could be either a copper, zinc or steel plate, or a litho stone-though the latter was but seldom used-by successive impressions from color blocks of wood or metal, one for each tint used . . . there was, in fact, no color printing in use in England at the time when Baxter commenced his work, and for a few years he had the field to himself" (Burch, p. 126). Baxter remained in the oil-color printing business until his retirement in 1860, at which time his methods were beginning to be superseded by cheaper color-printing processes like chromolithography. One of the best examples of Baxter's color printing is The Pictorial Album, which contains 11 oil-color-printed illustrations; it has been called Baxter's greatest collection of his work. According to Geoffrey Wakeman, Chapman and Hall planned to issue the Album as a Christmas gift book in 1836, but "it missed the mark and was not published until 1837, with the result that it was a financial failure" (Wakeman, p. 9). Copies were issued in full morocco bindings with inlays of red, green, yellow or blue leather, the colors of the inlays varying from copy to copy. This binding would have been primarily done by hand with the using of a stamping machine to create the elaborate gold tooling. Wakeman, Victorian Colour Printing (1981). .

Title: 1830 Letter Written from Mauritius, Describing Economic and Social Conditions on the “Ebony Isle”
Author: [British Empire – Mauritius – Slavery] Unknown Author
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Folded with some stains and pencil marks. Overall near fine.
Description: Mahébourg, Mauritius, 1830. Single unsigned fourteen-page letter measuring 8 x 12 ¾ inches. Folded with some stains and pencil marks. Overall near fine.. In 1830, Mauritius was a British colony, captured from the French in 1810 during the Napoleonic Wars. It was originally a Dutch colony, and the Dutch had introduced enslaved labor to the islands. Enslaved people were imported from Madagascar, India, and Southeast Asia to harvest the valuable ebony trees, and later to farm sugarcane. It became a French colony in 1715 and, among other provisions, the French government awarded upper-class colonists large land grants, each with twenty enslaved people to work them. Slavery was abolished in 1835 under British rule, after which the planters, still farming sugarcane, turned to indentured servant labor from India and China alongside illegal slavery.[1] Offered here is a lengthy single letter written by an unknown author to an unknown recipient from Mahébourg in 1830, shortly before this radical change. The letter describes the lives and economic circumstances of the planters and merchants, and of the non-white population, particularly Malabar people and free and enslaved Black people. Noting that “every inch of ground that will produce sugar cane is planted with it,” including “the former fine gardens to some of the Habitations”, the author reports on the situation for sugar planters: “The price of sugar here is not more than 20/per Cwt. for the best quality which does not now remunerate the Planter as his expenses are becoming every day more heavy in consequence of their slaves diminishing [...] The want of Slaves induced many of the Planters to send for Chinese [?] Labourers and several hundreds were imported at a great expense, but unfortunately they did not answer, and were obliged to be reshipped for their native Country again at the charge of those who sent for them.” The author later notes that “nearly everyone of the Planters have heavy mortgages on their Estates and [are] obliged to pay this immense Interest, which keeps them poor and will I fear ultimately ruin them”. In fact, the planters in British Mauritius had extra duties on their sugar exports compared with their Caribbean counterparts. The shopkeepers, on the other hand, “calculate on retiring with a fortune in five years,– therefore you will fancy what must be their prices + also their profits.” Though writing from Mahébourg, the author describes the capital city of Port Louis at length, especially its Malabar Indian and free Black residents—the lives of the latter, particularly the free Black women, seem especially grim. They write: “The Centre [of Port Louis] is inhabited by all the respectable people and many most excellent houses + buildings,– the Catholic Chapel + the English Church amongst the number. The Suburbs to the West is the part occupied by about 3000 Malabars, + called ‘Malabar Town.’ – They are dressed mostly in white, with Turbans, ear rings, +c +c and the females with ornaments in their noses and on their Toes, as they generally go bare foot. – Once a year they have what is called a ‘Yamsee’ or a festival in honor of Mehomet which lasts for about a fortnight, during which time they seem to get no sleep, a continual beating of tom toms, – jingling of bells, – carrying pagodas (which are made of various coloured paper and most richly ornamented) followed by all the population of their Caste with their faces daubed with red, white, +c and which has a most ludicrous appearance. The Suburbs to the South, is called ‘black Camp’ – the Houses being very small and poor and inhabited by all the free blacks as well as many Mulattoes. – Also a certain class of females of the population of colour – who are visited immediately on the Arrival of a Ship the Crews soon enquiring the way to the ‘Camp.’” As regards relations between the races, the author recounts an incident that followed the 1828 abolition of the color bar, which would ostensibly give the free non-white population the same rights as the whites: “The Theatre is a very good one, but has been closed for several months past + the Actors + Actresses gone to Bourbon in consequence of the promulgation of the act ‘causing all free people of the population of Colour’ to have the same laws – + the same privileges as the Whites,’ + fearing they ought come to the Theatre which they had hitherto been forbidden, + thereby cause disturbances, (as the French Whites detest them + wd. not sit in the same box), it was considered best to shut the Theatre which is a great loss to the Place it being the chief public amusement, and indeed the only one we have here.” Overall a detailed letter giving insight into life in a slave colony at a time when significant changes were on the horizon. Of interest to scholars of the colonial history of Mauritius and the second wave of British colonialism.

Condition: Near Fine
Description: London: Macmillan and Co, 1881. First Edition, First Printing. Near Fine/No Dust Jacket, As Issued. A Landmark of Victorian Nursery Literature. A beautifully preserved first printing of one of Mrs. Molesworth's most charming efforts. Known as the Jane Austen of the Nursery, Molesworth captured the nuances of childhood speech and duty with a psychological depth that was revolutionary for the period. This edition is elevated by 12 wood-engraved plates on tinted backgrounds by Walter Crane, the "Academician of the Nursery." This copy has been elegantly rebound in full levant morocco, with the original gilt-designed cloth cover meticulously preserved and bound-in at the terminal leaf. KEY FEATURES +++ Provenance of Design: Original pictorial cloth cover, designed by Walter Crane, is preserved and attached to a blank leaf in the rear. +++ Illustrations: 12 full-page wood-engraved plates on tinted backgrounds by Walter Crane; this represents one of the artist's earliest and most influential collaborations with Molesworth. +++ Bibliographic State: True First Edition, First Printing (London: Macmillan, 1881). +++ Binding: Finely bound in full tan levant morocco with gilt rules, corner designs, and dark morocco spine labels. CONDITION: Near Fine -- The leather is supple and bright with only faint rubbing to the bottom corners. Internals show occasional light foxing, though the text and plates remain remarkably clean and crisp. The top edge is stained tan to match the binding. A superior, gift-quality example. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- Mary Louisa Molesworth was the bridge between the moralizing tales of the early 1800s and the Golden Age of Children's Literature. The Adventures of Herr Baby is celebrated for its authentic (if stylized) depiction of early childhood language-the famous 'lisping' style-and its emphasis on the Victorian virtues of self-sacrifice and duty.
