Title: Histoire Naturelle des Lepidopteres d"Europe

Seller: Biomed Rare Books LLC, ABAA, ILAB (United States)
Description: Paris: F. Savy, 1864. Second edition. 80 VERY FINE HAND-COLORED ENGRAVED PLATES OF EUROPEAN BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS. Two 9 1/4 inches tall hardcover volumes, brown pebbled cloth binding, 3/4 brown leather spine with raised bands, black gilt leather title labels, leather corners, gilt rulings, marbled edges, patterned endpapers. Vol. I, 285 pp; Vol. II, hand-colored engraved half-title, 80 hand-colored steel engraved plates of lepidoptera and 2 uncolored plates of collecting equipment with tissue guards. Leather corners and spine edges rubbed, browning to preliminary pages and tissue guards, plates bright and clean, light pencilled species names and author citations following engraved generic names below the framed engravings. Very good in custom archival mylar covers. PIERRE-HIPPOLYTE LUCAS (1814 – 1899) was a French entomologist, assistant-naturalist at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle Paris. From 1839 to 1842 he studied fauna as part of the scientific commission on the exploration of Algeria. ALPHONSE NOEL (1838-1904) was a French artist who painted the engravings "following nature." HIPPOLYTE AND POLYDORE PAUQUET were French brothers and natural history illustrators. Hippolyte-Louis-Émile Pauquet (1797 – 1871) was the elder of the two and was largely responsible for engravings based on the illustrations by Polydore Jean-Charles Pauquet (1800 – 1879), though the two shared credit for their works. They first served as apprentices to their father, Jean Louis Charles Pauquet, and in 1812 enrolled at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Their work was exhibited at the Paris Salon through the 1820s and 1830s, though their recognition came mainly from their publications.

Description: New York, New York: Women Against Daddy Warbucks, 1970. Good to very good. Some toning, creasing/wear. One or two closed short tears.. On July 2nd, 1970, five members of the all-female coalition "Women Against Daddy Warbucks" broke into the midtown Manhattan office that held important 1-A draft files, denoting men who would soon be drafted into the Vietnam War. They destroyed these documents, all of the "1" and "A" letters on the typewriters, and posted graphic imagery of the devastation caused by the war in the offices; the next day, they turned themselves in and published the present statement several days later, including the full names of the women involved. Part of their statement, addressed to the Dow Chemical Company, Chase Bank, Standard Oil, and Shell (all tenants of Rockefeller), reads: "We are sending you the file of a dead soldier taken from Upper Manhattan's draft board on July 2, by a group of women. We are those women ... We send this file to tell you that we do not accept your measure of a man. He is not to be bought for oil or sold for plastics. He happens only once and that happening is sacred." Offered together with an original enamel pin depicting a feminist symbol with a fist inside. Pin measures approx. 1.5" in diameter. Tri-fold printed pamphlet, illus., measures 8.5" by 3.75" folded.

Description: Fairfield, Washington: Ye Galleon press, 1985. An exciting, early, and popular work, by a strong and courageous woman. Mrs. Bradley, along with her husband and his crew, were captured by desert Arabs after a shipwreck off Morocco. She endured six months of captivity and was ultimately ransomed by the British Consul. Unfortunately, according to Huntress, "This narrative is almost certainly spurious, another in the succession "Captivity and Sufferings of Mrs. Mary Velnet" and "Captivity and Sufferings of Maria Martin" having been extracted "directly" from Riley's narrative, "Sufferings in Africa." Nonetheless, Mrs. Bradley's book has wormed its way into the imaginations of generations and is now a part of shipwreck literature. See Huntress 202C. Bound in brown boards with gilt lettering. Fine condition. . 22.5 cm. 99 pp. Duotone frontispiece and illustrations.
