Description
Worthing, East Sussex, UK. Original sheep backed plain boards.. Good; the binding showing signs of shop use and wear; contents clear; text block broken; hinges cracked; occasional rumpling to extremities of a few pages.. Small folio notebook; 207 pp. (recto and verso) with a 5 page alphabetical index. Heavily illustrated with detailed notes on design, structure, and materials. A superb and apparently complete record of orders for this firm of specialty coachbuilders (still in existence as J S Arnold) during the last half of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century. The output is presented in chronological order.The record is meticulous in describing each of the carts, carriages, wagons, and vans for private and commercial use. It is illustrated throughout with sections, plans, and design notes. Most of the jobs undertaken were for special purpose vehicles, e.g., furniture van, scavenger cart, miller's cart, butcher's cart etc. Renovation or alteration of older carts or re-purposing of the same are given in detail with extreme care given to specifications (e.g. providing direction for the size of the horse to be used), materials, construction (with small drawings of particular fittings where necessary). The text was apparently also used as a pattern book for prospective customers. An incredibly useful resource.

Wien: A. Diabelli & Comp: Graben No. 1133 [PN 2451], 1830. Oblong folio. Disbound. 1f. (recto title, verso blank), [i] (blank), 4-7 pp., [i] (blank) pp. Engraved throughout. On wove paper without watermark. Slightly worn and foxed; minor ink stain to blank lower margin of title; small tear to blank lower outer corner of title repaired with archival tape to verso. First separate edition, second issue. Deutsch 742, p. 447. Hirsch IV, 545. Raab I, p. 274, A-2. Der Wachteschlag (The Quail's Song), set to text by Samuel Friedrich Sauter, was first published in 1822 in the periodical Wiener Zeitschrift fur Kunst, Literatur, Theater und Mode. "The only canonic Viennese composer native to Vienna, [Schubert] made seminal contributions in the areas of orchestral music, chamber music, piano music and, most especially, the German lied. The richness and subtlety of his melodic and harmonic language, the originality of his accompaniments, his elevation of marginal genres and the enigmatic nature of his uneventful life have invited a wide range of readings of both man and music that remain among the most hotly debated in musical circles." Robert Winter, Maurice J.E. Brown, and Eric Sams in Grove Music Online.
