Unpaginated. 186 attractive hand-colored botanical plates (numbered 1-185, plus an unnumbered plate of "Atropa belladonna" in Vol. I). 19th cent. half calf, marbled boards, a little rubbed.

The handsome hand-colored plates make a very good impression next to more celebrated works by Sowerby, Edwards, etc. See G-M 5740 for Stephenson, who was the first to be operated on by Roux for cleft palate, and who first described the operation in his thesis of 1820. Churchill was the great pioneer of acupuncture in England; see Lu & Needham, "Celestial Lancets," pp. 297-99. Nissen 1891. Pritzel 8946. .

Title: Fine pastel portrait of the composer by Copmann after the 1828 pastel portrait by Christian Horneman (1765-1844). Signed with the artist's initials "PC" and dated 1832
Author: [KUHLAU, Friedrich 1786-1832]. Copmann, Peter 1794-1850
Seller: J & J Lubrano Music Antiquarians LLC (United States)
Description: 51 x 42 cms. (20 x 16.5"). Canvas over wooden board. A sensitive portrait of the composer, blind in his right eye since childhood, depicted head-and-shoulders, turned right, wearing a blue coat and white-collared shirt. Some minor wear and smudging but in very good condition overall. "Together with C.E.F. Weyse he was the foremost representative of the late Classical and early Romantic periods in Denmark. ... Unlike Weyse, the other principal Danish composer of the period, Kuhlau was extrovert and modern. His style contains many elements of the Danish musical tradition but is mainly cosmopolitan. A conspicuous feature is his parody technique, in which themes, passages and sometimes whole movements by other composers function as a catalyst for his own compositions. However, Kuhlau has his own distinctive artistic character, and his best works - the piano, flute and chamber music and the dramatic works, including several masterly overtures - exerted a profound influence on Danish music during the rest of the 19th century." Gorm Busk in Grove Music Online Hornemann, a Danish painter of pastels and miniatures, was known mainly for his portraits. He was the father of Johan Ole Emil Hornemann (1809-1870) and grandfather of C.F.E. Hornemann (1840-1906), both composers. Of Danish origin, Copmann worked in Copenhagen and as an itinerant portrait and landscape painter in Hamburg and Dresden, Germany. He immigrated to the U.S. in ca. 1834 and was active in Brooklyn, New York (1834); Charleston, South Carolina (1834-35); in New Orleans (1837); and in Louisville, KY (1848). Rutledge: Artists in the Life of Charleston, 154, 177. Encyclopaedia of New Orleans Artists, 86. Artprice Website A highly attractive portrait of this important Danish composer by a Danish-born artist working in the U.S. in the first part of the nineteenth century.

Description: Boston: Gould and Lincoln, 1853.. Bourne was captured enroute to the California gold fields. His sprightly narrative deals mostly with South America and its natives, but he did ship out on various craft, one of which was a whaler, "the ship Hudson, Captain Clift, of Mystic, Connecticut - a whaling vessel, just from the Falkland Islands."Imagine my surprise at discovering there actually was a whaler of this name with Clift as captain, homeported in Mystic and bound for the Falkland Islands, 1848-1852! See Lund, 6828. I've had copies of this book before, but I think this is an unusual configuration, in that it contains 28 pages of product advertisements by publisher Gould and Lincoln. Bound as issued in blindstamped brown cloth with gold spine lettering. Top of backstrip repaired, else a very good copy.. 11.5 x 19 cm.

Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Perceptual Modification: Adapting to Altered Sensory Environments is about the study of human perception using a particular research strategy: the systematic alteration of vision or audition. It is assumed that by observing how the sensory apparatus copes with this disturbance it will be possible to formulate valuable hypotheses about the structure and development of "normal" perception and perceptual-motor coordination. The specific goals of this book are, first, to organize the vast and confusing literature on adaptation to perceptual rearrangement and, second, to assess its contribution to the understanding of "normal" perception and perceptual learning. The book begins with discussions of adaptation to small prism-induced displacements of the visual field. Separate chapters follow on the proposition that adaptation to prismatic displacement and other forms of rearrangement is actually a form of learning; adaptation to inverted and reversed vision; optical tilt; illusory motions of the visual field; size-depth distortions; and distortions of form. Subsequent chapters deal with studies of auditory rearrangement; examine individual and interspecies differences in adaptability; and the study of adaptation to the visual distortions encountered by the underwater observer. The book is written for researchers and graduate students in experimental psychology. It will be of value and interest whether the reader is a specialist in the area of perceptual modification, or indeed a generalist.(Publisher).
