Jones Jr. was a Confederate officer during the Civil War and author of several books and articles pertaining to the south including a pamphlet on "Hodgson Hall". His son was Charles Edgeworth Jones of Augusta. From the Georgia Historical Society (regarding W. B. Hodgson): "The distinguished scholar-diplomat William Brown Hodgson (1801-1871) became a core member of the cultural and intellectual life of Savannah following his marriage in 1842 to Margaret Telfair, the youngest daughter of Georgia governor Edward Telfair. Born on September 1, 1801, in Georgetown, D.C., Hodgson was left fatherless as a young boy. During his childhood, he developed an unusual talent for foreign languages and ultimately would master thirteen of them, including Hebrew and Sanskrit. Although he never attended college, Princeton University would later award him an honorary degree in 1824. Hodgson spent many years of his life in his country’s service in the East and is distinguished for his studies of oriental life and language and his collection of rare books and manuscripts.

Seller: Eclectibles (United States)
Condition: Good. Some scattering foxing. Extremities worn, spine heavily chipped.
Description: Leipzig: Expedition des Klosters, 1847. Good. Some scattering foxing. Extremities worn, spine heavily chipped.. A scarce Victorian rendering of the Basel Dance of Death, presented in "81 illustrations on 22 copperplates and 27 lithographed sheets" (translated form the German title-page). The Basel Dance of Death was painted inside a cemetery wall near the Predigerkirche in Basel in the 1400s, and featured memento mori imagery of a skeleton ("Death") dancing with different characters, reminding viewers that Death comes for everyone, regardless of class, wealth, or social status. The characters range from farmer to merchant to jurist and duchess, and have become iconic symbols of the "danse macabre" trope in art history. This edition reproduces the images, and provides viewers with copperplate engravings with line drawings and simplified line drawings of each image, as well as several pages of lithographic reproductions of a 16th century woodcut edition of the images. Advertises an upcoming colored edition to be published the next year at foot of title-page. Single vol. (11" by 9.25"), 49 unnumbered leaves printed on rectos only (copperplate engraving, lithography, letterpress), in contemporary (original?) marbled paper boards backed in red sheep, spine stamped in gold, later engraved bookplate of Charles Frederic Crehore to upper pastedown. Loose contemporary engraved handbill advertisement for Oxford baker and confectioner J. Boffin enclosed in front. Hans Ferdinand Massmann (1797-1874) was a medievalist, poet, and professor of German studies.
