Author: [Mexico]. [Texas]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Near fine.
Description: Victoria de Durango: January 19, 1836. Near fine.. Broadside, 11.5 x 8.25 inches. Contemporary manuscript rubrics. Very minor dust soiling. The Durango bando printing of this rare Mexican decree, in which the acting President orders that the Mexican government commandeer half the income of the states to prosecute the war against Texas -- "El Gobierno solo podrá disponer hasta de la mitad de las rentas de los Departamentos mientras subsista la guerra provocada por los colonos de Tejas...." "The series of alarming events of rebellion in Texas, culminating with the Siege of Bexar in late 1835, prompted authorities in Mexico to issue this decree to raise the funds needed to underwrite Santa Anna and his army of about five thousand ill-provisioned green recruits who were enduring the frightful ordeal of marching six hundred miles from San Luis Potosí to San Antonio in the dead of winter across the desert to punish the Texans. Santa Anna had energy and nerve, but not a cent in his war chest. The same might be said of the Texans" -- Sloan. OCLC shows just three copies of the Mexico City printing, at Yale, Baylor, and the University of Texas; none of the present Durango promulgation. Eberstadt 162:868 (ref). Sloan 6:53 (ref).

Title: Les Mille et une nuits Contes Arabes.
Author: [Arabian Nights ; Les Nuits d'Arabie].
Seller: Jeff Weber Rare Books (Switzerland)
Description: [France?]: ca.1890-1910., 1890. 4to. [approx. 11.5 x 8.75 inches. 21, [1] pp. 5 chromolithographic plates, figures. Cover with original chromolithographic image; some wear to extremities, creasing. Very good. VERY RARE. Publisher is not stated, though there is a serial number on the supper cover "19 33.B." Beautifully produced chromolithographic plates. The drawings for this edition are unique. The front cover depicts Sinbad on his ship with sixteen imps attacking and or creating a nuisance. My favorite is probably the three princes taking a ride on the magic carpet, entitled "Histoire du Prince Ahmed et de la Fee Pari-Banou." Another image shows a magic horse with a princess. Not in the Cotsen collection, Princeton; not in WorldCat.

Author: PHOTOGRAPHIC ALBUM; ALTEMUS & CO
Seller: David Brass Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: Philadelphia: Manufactured by Altemus & Co., 1864. A Fine Altemus Photographic Album [PHOTOGRAPHIC ALBUM] The Photographic Album. Hinged-Back Patented July 21st 1863. Philadelphia: Manufactured by Altemus & Co., ca. 1864. Small square quarto (5 3/4 x 5 inches; 146 x 127 mm.). Calligraphic title-page printed in gold and purple, Index to portraits, and twenty five thick card, double sided window frame leaves bordered in gold. The first eighteen with a single nineteenth century family photograph. We have been unable to identify the family name. Publisher's full brown embossed morocco over boards. Covers and spine elaborately decorated in blind, both covers with four circular ivory stones set in gilt. Spine embossed and decoratively lettered in gilt "Album" "Patd. July 21st. 1863". Two brass clasps, decorated in relief and fitted with two circular ivory stones with gilt centers, gilt board edges and turn-ins, all edges gilt. A fine example of an early Altemus album. Altemus and Company first published photographic albums in 1862. During the next thirty years it published numerous elegant albums in many different styles. Although many albums from this time period can be easily identified as Altemus productions since they have the Altemus and Company imprint, a number of albums had no imprint. Some of the pre-1863 albums had a very similar look as the "post 1863 new patent hinged back design". All the albums post-1863 did note the patent somewhere in or on the album. In 1863 Henry and Samuel Altemus became the assignees of a patent of John Mets. This patent gave Altemus the right to use the special hinged back design for their photographic albums. The albums using this special design have the Altemus & Company imprint on the title page along with a line that says patented July 21, 1863. By 1864 Altemus was touting its special photographic album design. "It having the advantage of laying open perfectly flat..." Altemus had the patent for the "hinged back" design. As described by Altemus-- "each leaf is attached to a small rod covered with morocco forming a separate hinge of its own, admitting the book to be opened to its full extent without danger of the slightest injury

Condition: Very good plus in very good jacket.

In 1948, Fletcher adapted her story as a screenplay for what was to be a classic film noir starring Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster, and in the same year this novelized version, written with Allan Ullman, was published.
