Description
Prague: Aegidius Sadeler, 1606. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. A very fine, broad-margined copy with very rich and clear impressions of the plates. Occ. marginal soiling, a few pin-prick wormholes in the margins of a few leaves. Bound in contemporary morocco, richly tooled in gold. With an engraved allegorical title with the main title incised within a wolf's hide hung on a monument; an engraved dedication to Matthaeus Wacker von Wackenfels (numbered'1'), with the text incised on a stone tablet between flanking obelisks and with two putti supporting the dedicatee's arms; and 49 full-paged engraved plates (ca. 170 x 270 mm), all numbered and signed 'Marco Sadeler excudit', with descriptive captions in Italian. This is the first edition. Thirty-six of these images were copied by Aegidius Sadeler from Etienne Du Pérac's " Vestigi dell'Antichità di Roma" (Rome 1575). For the other images, Sadeler drew on drawings by Jan Breughel the elder and Pieter Stevens. Marco Sadeler, whose name appears on the plates, was an engraver and print seller in Prague in the early 1600's and probably the nephew of Aegidius. In the middle of the 17th century, a copy of the 1606 edition found its way to Rome where it was copied for Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi by Girolamo Ferri and published in 1660. In this series, the artists have depicted the ancient monuments of Rome, Tivoli and Pozzuoli as they appeared in the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century: crowned with vegetation, half-buried by the rising ground level and encroached upon by a host of post-Roman structures. The scenes are alive with Rome's inhabitants: herdsmen, mule-drivers, cattle, sheep, and every manner of citizen. The images, in which the ruins are depicted in their un-restored state and within the context of their early modern environments, serve as a record of the monuments as they appeared in this period and evoke the atmosphere of daily life in early modern Rome. Sadeler and The Bay of Naples: In addition to the views of Rome, the Sadeler series also includes a number of plates of ruins and views of the Bay of Naples and its environs: the Gulf of Baiae, Cuma, Lago Averno, the Campi Flegrei, Capo Miseno, and the Villa Agrippina at Oplontis, and other places within the confines of Pozzuoli.

1857. First Edition. THACKERAY, William Makepeace. The Virginians: A Tale of the Last Century. London: Bradbury and Evans, 1857-59. Octavo, 24 original parts in original yellow printed wrappers, uncut and occasionally unopened. Housed in two custom clamshell boxes. $1500.First edition in original parts, first issues, with all plates and advertisements, of Thackeray's tale of brethren divided during the American Revolution, the last book the author himself illustrated.Like his contemporary (and rival) Charles Dickens, Thackeray visited the United States (first in 1852-53, again in 1855-56); unlike his fellow novelist, however, Thackeray ""had on the whole a happy time… He was willing, as Dickens had not been, to see the greatness of the country and recognize that the promise of the future atoned for the shortcomings of the present… Impressions of the second tour were worked into The Virginians,"" Thackeray's continuation of the family saga he began in The History of Henry Esmond (1852) (Baugh et al., 1358-59). Here, the author traces the fortunes of Henry Esmond's grandsons as the Revolutionary War divides them. With 48 engraved plates and several small in-text woodcuts by Thackeray—the last book he himself illustrated. First issue, with the first word on page 207, line 15 from the bottom (in No. 7) misprinted ""actresses"" (corrected in later editions to ""ancestresses""); in part 12, chapters XLVII-XLVIII misnumbered XLVIII-XLIX. All parts conform in all particulars to the bibliographer's descriptions, including all slips and advertisements, except that a few of them are on different paper than called for. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the bibliographer's copy, which has a publisher's catalogue at rear of Part 24, may be anomalous. Afterward published in book form (two clothbound volumes, dated 1858 and 1859). Van Duzer 232. Two plates, in No. 8, with darkening to edges, otherwise all plates and text clean and fine. Wrappers in extraordinary condition. A beautiful copy.

Description
Cimarron, New Mexico Territory, 1867. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This three-page stampless letter was sent by A. J. Thomas, a hay farmer from Cimarron, New Mexico Territory, to J. B. Culver in Delaware, Ohio. It is franked with a 3-cent Washington stamp (Scott #65) tied to the envelope with a “Cimarron, New Mexico, Jul 18, 1867” postmark. It bears a straightline “ADVERTISED” hand stamp a circular handstamp that reads only “Sep 1” that were applied after the letter had sat unclaimed in the Delaware post office. In nice shape. In the letter, Thomas discusses the gold boom that began in 1866. “There has been a considerable excitement about gold mines in this country but I cant say what they are going to amount to. I was up there some time ago and took a claim but I havent got much faith in mining and if I had, I have got no time to spend on them now. I commenced mowing one week ago but make slow progress as it has rained nearly all the time. . .. I was talking some of coming to the States this fall but I don’t know whether I will get there or not. I may take a notion to get married to Some of these Black Eyed Mexican galls one of these days. . ..” . Cimarron had long been a ranching community at edge of Sangre de Cristo Mountains along the Santa Fe Trail. In 1841, a fur trapper, Charles Beaubien, married a young Native American girl, opened a store in Taos, and became a Mexican citizen. Together with Guadalupe Miranda, a local businessman-politician, he petitioned Governor Manuel Armijo and received a 1.7 million acre land grant. A year later, Charles Lucien B. Maxwell, another fur trapper, married one of Beaubien’s daughters, Luz. After inheriting their share of the ranch, the Maxwells bought out Miranda’s interest as well as those of Luz’s sisters. The area American pioneers but remained quiet, except for Apache and Commanche raids. Settlement gradually increased until copper was discovered on Baldy Creek in 1866, after which Maxwell formed a company to extract the ore. Almost immediately, gold was found among the copper, and soon prospectors, saloons, brothels descended upon Cimarron, which became a wild and roaring boomtown. Several years later, Maxwell decided to sell his land grant only to find it enmeshed in legal entanglements which led directly to the vicious Colfax County Range War that lasted until 1877. During most of the 19th century, mail was not routinely delivered by the post office. Rather, it was held for recipients to pick-up. If it was not, the postmaster would place an advertisement in the local newspaper and hold if for a little longer. If the recipient then picked up the mail, an additional fee, usually one cent, was charged. If it remained uncollected it was forwarded to the Dead Letter Office. (For more information, see “Maxwell Land Grant – Largest Land Grant in US History” and “Cimarron, New Mexico – Wild & Bawdy Boomtown” both at the Legends of America website and Epting’s “The Letter Opener,” a 7 May 2023 blog entry at stamps.org,) A scarce territorial letter documenting the beginning of the Cimarron Gold Rush. Nothing similar is for sale in the trade. The Rare Book Hub and ABPC show no auction records for similar items, however two companion covers from but without contents have been sold in the philatelic community. OCLC shows only one similar letter is held by an institution, the Huntington. .

Description
New Hampshire, 1815. Good. 3 3/8” x 2”. Boards. Pp. v, [6-]68. Good: front board nearly detached; only remnants of paper over boards; old tape to rear; penultimate leaf printed askew, causing the loss of one line of text; lightly spotted throughout with a few tiny dog ears. Bookplate and penciled signature of former owner to front pastedown. This is a delightful miniature children's storybook about the education of a young woman named Almira, published and printed by New Hampshire notables and previously owned by a woman in the state. The anonymous author's preface acknowledged that “It is not my wish to divert the attention of my young readers from their useful books, by putting another into their hands, but, to encourage them in reading more attentively . . .” And if the story was to seem “too trifling to my older readers, let them remember, that they too were once young and were pleased with trifles.” The text concerned young Almira's “parentage,” “disposition and manners” and how her obedience, “love for study” and “progress in learning” led to her enjoying a “useful” life: “her manners agreeable,” “her mind serene” and ultimately, “her death lamented.” She was said to “treat all classes of people with decency and kindness” and that “less disturbances filled her mind, than are usual with the illiterate and idle.” All this to suggest that “your happiness in this life depends chiefly on your behavior . . . and a strict attention to your book, now while you are young, will certainly make you wise.” The book's printer, George Hough, put out Concord, New Hampshire's first newspaper in 1790 and the state's first religious newspaper in 1819. Publisher Jason Lothrop was a New Hampshire school teacher who wrote and published several books of poems and hymns. He later became a pastor and founded the first Baptist church and first printing press in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The book holds the bookplate of a woman, Lucy P. Knowlton, who lived from 1808 to 1891 in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, as well as her later signature as Lucy P. Bailey. A fairly uncommon and charming work for children. OCLC shows 14 holdings of the physical book over two entries.

Description
A fine copy of a rare trade catalogue issued by the Trenton Potteries Company. Decorative wrappers bound in dos-a-dos style tied with two silk twists, one olive green, one ochre. "Bathrooms of Character" has 40 pages, beautifully illustrated with plans for creating a stylish bathroom. The cover design features a background in olive green squares outlined in white, suggesting tiles with title letters in a raised white Arts and Crafts font. Embellishments of "tiles" with soft ochre stylized irises and foliage complete the handsome composition. The pamplet's counterpart, "Porcelain Fixtures For Kitchen and Laundry" has 31 pages, also nicely illustrated. Its cover design is identical to that of the bathroom pamphlet, reversing the use of colors, with ochre squares outlined in white and the iris designs executed in olive green. The text presents a wide array of superior qualities of the products, including "Your Maid Will Find Cleaning Easy". It attests to shared contemporary frustrations, "Every woman has had experience with the "servant problem". Dimensions and prices are included. This is the sixth edition of a booklet that was updated, beginning circa 1914. Advertisements for the brochures were carried by some of the most prestigious periodicals of the day, including, House Beautiful, Country Life and The Fra. Very scarce indeed, particularly in fine condition and retaining the original postal envelope, addressed in this case to "Gladys Drinkwater, 1124 St. Vincent Street, Utica, N.Y." The envelope has a pencil date of 10/21/21 as well as the original three cent purple George Washington stamp (canceled).

Spokane: Arthur H. Clark Company, 2003. 1/55. 18pp. Octavo [23 cm] Blue printed wrappers. Near fine. Signed by Bigler on the limitation page. Collector's Edition Keepsake for volume 6 of the Kingdom of the West series, 'Fort Limhi: The Mormon Adventure in Oregon Territory, 1855-1858.' In 1855 the Mormons established a mission at the foot of famous Lemhi Pass near Salmon River, where the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery first crossed the Continental Divide and Sacagawea was reunited with her brother. Fort Limhi was, at first, part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' outreach to the Indians throughout the West. But the mission soon assumed a critical role in Brigham Young's plans for the Saints as they faced the imminent confrontation with the U.S. government which came to be known as the Utah War The Kingdom in the West Series, subtitled 'The Mormons and the American Frontier,' is an award-winning series begun in 1997 that explored the story of the Latter-day Saints and their part in the greater history of the Western Frontier. The history of the Mormons in the American West is so sweeping it is easy to ignore episodes that, for one reason or another, found no place in the traditional annals of the region. This series explored the story of the Mormon people and their part in the greater history of the Western Frontier. Primary source documents, many of them previously unpublished, comprise this series' core.
