Title: Terrina disegnata per un Cavaliere Cremonese da eseguirsi in argento
Author: ALBERTOLLI, Giocondo
Seller: Argosy Book Store (United States)
Description: Milan, 1787. Giacomo Mercoli. Etching. Image measures 18" x 12" This lovely 18th century etching depicts a tureen designed to be made in silver for a Cremonese Knight. Designed and drawn by Giocondo Albertolli, this print was engraved by Giacomo Mercoli and published in "Ornamenti Diversi inventati disegnati ed eseguiti da Giocondo Albertolli", 1787. This print is in very good condition, with heavy foxing to outer margin at right edge, not affecting the image. Giocondo Albertolli (1742-1839) was a Swiss-born artist, architect, and sculptor active in Italy during the Neoclassical period. He was nominated professor of architectural ornament at the Brera Academy in Milan, a post he held for nearly 30 years. Napoleon made him a Knight of the Iron Crown in 1809.

Title: Travels in America, Performed in 1806, for the Purpose of Exploring the Rivers Alleghany, Monongahela, Ohio and Mississippi, and Ascertaining the Produce and Condition of their Banks and Vicinity
Author: Thomas Ashe (1770-1835)
Seller: The Book Collector ABAA, ILAB, TBA (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: ix+366 pages. Small octavo ( (7 1/4" x 4 1/4") in the original leather binding with black label in gilt to spine. (Howes:354) First printed in 1806 in London in three volumes. Second printing.Thomas Ashe (1770-1835), was born in Dublin, Ireland and was a soldier and memoirist. Much of his life was checkered with intrigue and fraud. His Memoirs and Confessions (1815) is an autobiographical account of 'criminal and delinquent' escapades beginning with the seduction of a girl in France. In America he edited the National Intelligencer, and was arrested when attempting to steal treasures from churches in Latin America. His Travels in America first appeared in 1806. The narrative, chronicles Ashe's travels by flatboat down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers in 1806 and is one of the first travelogues written by a foreigner to comment specifically on the American inhabitants of the region. A unrestrained hatred of Americans can be found throughout the work. While the account is interesting and highly readable it was to create quite a stir, and added to the wave of anti-British sentiment that would ultimately lead to the War of 1812.
