Description
1812. RUSSIA. Histoire de Russie et des Principales Nations de l'Empire Russe. By Pierre-Charles Levesque. Eight volumes of text. xxxii, 371; 382; 395; 475; 420; 476; 453 [3]; 468 pp. 8vo., 220 x 135 mm, AND one volume Atlas in 4to., 272 x 218 mm, consisting of a folding map and 61 plates depicting portraits of the Tsars. Bound in original publisher's decorative wrappers. Uncut and partially unopened. Paris: Fournier, 1812. Fourth, and Best Edition of this classic history of Russia. An exceptional survival, completely preserved in the original publisher's marbled paper wrappers, uncut and partially unopened. This fourth edition is the most complete and desireable because it reprints Levesque's text from the 1800 edition, updated with extensive corrections and enlarged with the addition of his important life of Catherine the Great. The Histoire has further been added to with coverage up to the death of Tsar Paul 1 by Conrad Malte-Brun and Georges-Bernard Depping, creating an entirely different Volume #8. Pierre-Charles Levesque (1736-1812), a protege of Diderot, obtained his knowledge of Russia and its history while teaching in St. Petersburg during seven years, from 1773 to 1780. An appealing set in original condition with some insignificant wear to the wrappers of the atlas volume. Overall very fine.

Description
[New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and other locales, 3 Sept. 1936-23 Nov. 1940.]. Oblong 12mo (7.4" x 11.5"), blind-stamped brown marbled paper on boards. 200 b&w photos in three sizes (2.75" x 1.75", 3" x 2.5", and 3" x 4.5"), plus one 8.5" x 5.75" sepia-toned portrait; with manuscript white paper labels on black album paper. CONDITION: Very good, images clean with varied tonality, a few images overexposed or blurry as is common for snapshots, album leaves partially perished at edges. A photo album compiled by an unidentified young couple documenting their vacations between 1936 and 1940, including a substantial number of photos of the 1939-40 New York World's Fair. The 1939-40 New York World's Fair opened on April 30th, 1939 in Flushing Meadow, Queens. The first exposition to have a futuristic theme ("World of Tomorrow"), it hosted exhibits by sixty countries, the League of Nations, thirty-three U.S. states, several federal agencies, and the City of New York. By the time the fair closed on October 26th, 1940, over forty-four million people had visited the fair.  Seventy-four photos in this album depict the World's Fair and its buildings and landscapes in both 1939 and 1940, indicating that the couple visited at least twice. Images picture the buildings/pavilions of the League of Nations, Westinghouse, Corning Glass Works, and the modernist sculptures Trylon and Perisphere, as well as pavilions for individual nations including Poland, France, Japan, Russia, Italy, and America. Other highlights of the fair pictured here include Trains on Parade, the City of Light (presented by Consolidated Edison), man-made lightning, a view of the inside of the Perisphere, fountains, sculptures, elevated views of the fair, and the French ocean liner SS Normandie (the most powerful steam turbo-electric-propelled passenger ship ever built, crossing the Atlantic in a record 4.14 days). One image shows a group of Polish children wearing traditional Polish clothing, and several show the unidentified couple posing at the fair. A few evocative shots capture the fair at night, and a number of images reveal the house where the couple stayed during the fair. A series of photos document a visit to West Point, New York on August 14th, 1938, including images of statues, an armed cadet, the West Point campus, and cadets engaged in drills on the school's training grounds. Between 1936 and 1940 the couple visited the Mohawk Trail in Massachusetts (included here are a shot of a confined bear on the Trail, and a couple of shots show the couple posing next to a statue of a Native American man); Forest Park, Massachusetts; Hubbard Park, Connecticut; Bronx Park, New York (several images of caged animals in the zoo); Benson's Wild Animal Farm, New Hampshire, and Highland Lake, Winstead, Rhode Island. The album concludes with several shots taken on Thanksgiving Day in 1940-a little less than a month after the World's Fair ended. An appealing album with considerable documentation of the 1939-40 New York World's Fair.

The Clothes (Close) of the Confed’racy. Jeff Davis satire
Seller
James Arsenault & Company (United States)
Description
[No place, ca. 1865]. Carte-de-visite of a drawing, 3.5” x 2.3”, plus margins. “15” inscribed in ink in the lower-right margin. CONDITION: Very good, strong tonality, one minor abrasion at lower-middle along margin, trimmed along upper margin. This photo cartoon shows Jefferson Davis in his last moments as President of the Confederate States of America. Wearing a bonnet and spur-heeled boots, Davis lifts a dagger in one hand and the voluminous folds of his dress in the other as he attempts to make a run for it. On the morning of May 10th, 1865, Federal cavalrymen apprehended a small group of Confederates, including Davis and his wife, camped near Irwinville, Georgia. Amid the confusion, Davis attempted to steal away unrecognized—but not before his wife hurriedly threw her shawl and raincoat over his shoulders to protect him from the morning chill. Davis’s well-dressed arrest added insult to injury in the wake of the South’s defeat—a fact commented on in this image’s punning title. Though Davis would maintain that he was unaware of having donned his wife’s clothing, the more entertaining version—quickly capitalized on by Northern newspapers, magazines, photographers, and print publishers—was that the Confederate president had attempted to avoid capture by dressing up as a woman. Unsurprisingly, the incident was a boon for political cartoonists who began producing scores of cartoons depicting Davis as a bearded Southern belle, wearing petticoats, hoop skirts and bonnets. In the wake of Davis’s arrest, P. T. Barnum announced that he would pay $500 for Davis’s dress, and “Jeff in Petticoats” soon became a popular post-war song in the North. As one historian noted, “The North’s treatment of Jefferson Davis symbolized the humiliation being inflicted upon the South.” No copies recorded in OCLC.

Description
London: Bovis Ltd, 1950. First Edition. Portfolio, light card stock. With flaps. Plates loose within. Near Fine. Lawson Wood; H. M. Bateman; Peter Fraser; W. Heath Robinson; George Morrow; Bert Thomas; and Alfred Leete.. Quirky, funny send-up of many aspects of home renovation by a stellar line-up of literary and visual humorists. Published by a major London contractor or construction firm, surely as a promotional tool. The firm, Bovis Ltd., was acquired and absorbed by P&O in 1974 and is now under yet another corporate umbrella but the underlying business itself, as opposed to its corporate ownership or organization, remains a significant player in its industry. In any case, for a private enterprise to afford the services of the talent involved in this promotion, it really had a robust war chest, for W. Heath Robinson and Lawson Wood, to name just two of the contributors, were immensely popular illustrators. As a promotion, Bovis goes the offbeat or unusual route of poking fun, albeit perhaps gentle fun, at its own industry and itself. Anyone who has engaged contractors, or even just standard tradespeople such as plumbers and electricians, will nod their head in recognition of the inevitable missteps and blunders committed by these professionals. N.d., 1950. 4to. 28 by 21 cm. 17 loose leaves. Unpaginated. Printing on one side of each. Title leaf. Six leaves following primarily textual, with a small vignette drawing or two at their base. Then ten leaves dominated by illustration(s) with captioning at their base, and sometimes by drawings if they are arranged as comic strips with multiple cells. Also some text on inside back of portfolio. Scarce, with only copies reflected on OCLC First Search at V&A, National Library of Scotland and Dartmouth. One OCLC entry indicates there are 18 leaves, while we are representing there are just 17. We believe that they are counting the portfolio as a leaf, which after all, has content, but as of this date, we aren't 100 percent certain. We would note, though, that our number seems also likelier, as the odds are against a company arranging for 11 illustrated plates or 7 text pages, as opposed to 10 and 6, respectively. The portfolio shows considerable wear, with a number of small tears, creases and the like. Its internal folds have also been repaired non-professionally with scotch tape. The portfolio, though, is still completely functional for its purpose. The leaves within are completely clean and we would say close to Like New condition. Overall, we thus would grade this very rare collection of home renovation humor as Near Fine.

Very gentle bumps to head and tail of spine. Faint dust-spotting to text block. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: How does Christian ethics begin? This pioneering study explores the grammar of the Christian life as it is embodied and learned in worship as the formative experience of Christian communities. In a careful analysis of biblical and traditional conceptions of worship, Wannenwetsch demonstrates how worship challenges the deepest antagonisms in political thought and social practice. Particular worship practices (confession, preaching, praising, intercession, observance of holy days) are examined and their ethical and political significance is explored.(Publisher).

Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Real Estate Valuation Theory is organized around five categories of intellectual contribution to the whole-appraiser decision making and valuation accuracy, application of nontraditional appraisal techniques such as regression and the minimum-variance grid method, appraising contaminated property, ad valorem tax assessment, and new perspectives on traditional appraisal methods. One common thread is that all of the papers are exceptionally well written and thought provoking.(Publisher).
