Title: Histoire Pittoresque, Dramatique, et Caricaturale De La Sainte Russie.
Author: Dore, Gustave.; NYBF19; Sotain.; GUSTAVE DORE
Seller: Ursus Books (United States)
Description: 1854. DORE, Gustave. Histoire Dramatique, Pittoresque et Caricaturale de la Sainte Russie, D'après les Chroniquers et Historiens Nestor, Nikan, Sylvestre, Karamsin, Segur, etc... [4], 207 pp. (printed on recto only), illustrated with 500 engraved illustrations by Gustave Doré cut onto woodblocks by Sotain. 4to, 290 x 195 mm., bound in contemporary brown quarter cloth over marbled boards, with the original front and rear wrappers preserved. Paris: [Lacour for] J. Bry Ainé, 1854. First edition, early issue. Containing 500 surreal illustrations by Doré, this volume presents a blistering criticism of the tyranny of the Russian Czars. In the first issue, pages 89 and 97 have large blots of red ink, depicting "le regné d'Ivan-le-Terrible." In this copy there is a red blot on page 97, but page 89 is blank. The collaboration between Gustave Doré and the woodcutter Sotain represents an important moment in both artist's development. "Sotain began engraving for the Magasin Pittoresque, having executed for Philipon the plates to Beau Monde by Gustave Doré. The understanding that Sotain had for his art, his methods, and his ingenuity, reassured the artist for this project. In the designs of this album, Gustave Doré voluntarily multiplied the details of the images which are not usually found in such clarity" (Valmy-Baysse, Gustave Doré p. 150). Binding repaired and a few spots but overall a fine copy of an extremely rare work. Forberg, Gustave Doré: Das graphische Werk II, pp. 900-925. Leblanc, Catalogue de l'Oeuvre Complet de Gustave Dore, p. 135.

Title: THE AMERICAN ARMY IN THE WAR OF SECESSION
Author: General [Adolphe] DeChanal | First Lieut. M. [Michael] J. O’Brien [Translator]
Seller: Black Swan Books, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Good binding
Description: Leavenworth, Kansas: George A. Spooner, 1894. First Edition in English. Hard Cover. Good binding. 8vo.; in black library cloth with a leather title label, and a chipped paper call label; 245 pages, including Content; [1] in which Geo. Spooner described the advertisements in “this series” [Spooner’s Military Library] as “of benefit to the readers” ... “and to those firms represented”. This copy with library marks from “The General Service Schools Library” at Fort Leavenworth, stamped “Withdrawn”. With the publisher’s pink errata slip laid in. With the first couple of leaves separating at the bottom of the gutter.~~We find the book cited in Nicholson, (and even Nicholson misstates the publisher) but not in the other usual bibliographies. The content seems to be mostly statistical, trivial, and laudatory of the US Army. For example, regarding the convalescent camp at Fairfax: “Everything is provided which would tend to keep soldiers from being tempted to leave the camp. There are promenades, a chapel, a library containing six thousand volumes, well-stocked sutler’s stores ... sister of soldier are often authorized to remain in the camp and no inconvenience has resulted. The camp is, in reality, quite like a city.” (p. 103). A soldier is allocated a hat, coat or jacket, Greatcoat (in the first year), flannel shirt, flannel drawers (4 pairs), stockings, bootees (4 pairs), leather gaiters (1) etc. (p. 175); regarding rations, “The ration of the American soldier is incomparably better than that of the soldier in any European army” (p. 200) and “in cases of excessive fatigue or severe exposure issues of whiskey are ordered” (p. 201). It’s no wonder they won.~~The French edition was issued in Paris in 1872. Uncommon in commerce. (Nicholson 224). Good binding.
