Title: [Photo Album]: Late 19th century album of photographs from New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut
Seller: Between the Covers- Rare Books, Inc. ABAA (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, 1800. Hardcover. Good. Oblong 12mo album measuring 7¼" x 6¼". Contains 44 gelatin silver photographs measuring between 3” x 4” and 4¼" x 6½", most with captions, mounted to stiff boards. Disbound and lacking the spine, pages slightly warped and with a bit of toning, thus good, though the photographs are clean overall. A late 19th century view album of photographs from New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. Included are 13 photos from the Morristown, New Jersey area, including an exterior view of the Ford Mansion, which served as General George Washington’s headquarters for a period during the American Revolutionary War. There are several photos from Noroton, Connecticut, with one photo showing a Noroton train station, along with photos of homes and churches. Photographs from New York include eight scenes from Far Rockaway, views of the Hudson and East Rivers, two photos that show numerous large ships in what is identified in the caption as “the Bay” (presumably the Upper Bay), and a photo of a large docked ship, with buildings in the distance, captioned “N.Y. from Columbia Heights, Brooklyn.” One photo depicts a small run down house, captioned “Corner house on Madison Ave., N.E. cor. 77th St.” The album also includes two photographs of a Rogers 4-4-0 locomotive pulling a single train car labeled “N.Y.N.H. & H.R.R.”, which stood for the New York, New Haven, & Hartford Railroad, commonly know as The Consolidated. An album of well-taken and well-preserved photographs depicting Victorian-era New England, including several views from New York City.

Title: Press Photos of “The Paralyzed Industries of Japan” after the US and UK Froze Its Assets, 1941
Author: [World War II – Japan – Industrial History] Unknown Photographer
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Fine contrast and slight marginal damage; overall excellent to Near Fine.
Description: Japan: Brown Brothers, 1941. Five photographs. Photos measuring 6 ½ x 8 ½ inches. With typed captions previously affixed, typed captions verso, or manuscript captions verso; with Brown Brothers stamps verso. Fine contrast and slight marginal damage; overall excellent to Near Fine.. Following the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the United States imposed a number of economic sanctions against Japan, including the 1939 termination of its trade treaty with the country, 1940 oil export embargo, and 1941 executive order freezing Japanese assets in the US. Great Britain followed suit shortly thereafter. Offered here is a collection of press photographs documenting the effects of the US and UK’s economic sanctions on Japanese industry. One caption explains: “The industries of Japan, veritable bee hives until the trade treaty abrogatio by the United States followed by the freezing of funds belonging to the Niponese Government, resulting in the dripping of exports from Japan from $18,000,000 to $500 in the past year has brought about the condition seen in this series of photos.” The factories pictured include a locomotive plant, textile mill, match factory, and crockery exporter. The sanctions had a devastating impact on Japan’s economy, which is partly blamed for their attack on Pearl Harbor.

Washburne, with a signed presentation letter from the author to Colonel William Lamb, Confederate Army officer and Mayor of Norfolk, Virginia.. Octavo, 253pp, [2pp ads].

A few smudge marks to text pages, later ownership inscription written in ink on title page. Contains an engraved frontispiece portrait with tissue guard and six folded facsimile letters, light offsetting to text. Handwritten letter by the author to Col. Lamb attached to front flyleaf. In addition to commenting on the book, Washburne writes: "...I shall always guard the most agreeable souvenirs of my visit to the Old Dominion and of the many marked courtesies I received at your hand. / Should you ever visit Chicago, I shall expect the pleasure of entertaining you at my house. / I am, very truly yours, E.B. Washburne." (Graff 4552). Elihu B. Washburne (1816-1887) was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for the state of Illinois, serving from 1853-1869. An ardent abolitionist, Washburne was a leader among the Radical Republicans in Congress. During the Civil War, he was a strong supporter of President Abraham Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant. When Grant was elected president in 1868, Washburne briefly served as Secretary of State, then was appointed Minister to France. In retirement, Washburne wrote a memoir of his time spent in France, titled Recollections of a Minister to France, 1869-1877. The work was published shortly before his death in 1887.

Title: ILIAS AMBROSIANA
Author: HOMER
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Bern, Switzerland: In aedibus Urs Graf, 1953. No. 66 OF 800 COPIES. 365 x 275 mm. (14 1/2 x 10 3/4"). LVII, [3] pp., followed by plates. Publisher's stiff vellum with gilt illustration on front cover. In original plain dust jacket and (somewhat soiled and worn) blue backram slipcase with printed paper label on spine. With 58 color photographic reproductions of the illustrations from the Ambrosiana Library manuscript of the Iliad, printed on glossy paper and tipped onto plates, as well as 26 leaves of black and white photographic reproductions of the text. Color photos with captions in Italian, German, English, and French. With a prospectus for the publisher's forthcoming "Hellenistic-Byzantine Miniatures of the Iliad" laid in at front. ◆Top three inches of back cover of the dust jacket wrinkled, tape-repaired, and missing a three square-inch piece at the outer corner, minor soiling to the jacket, vellum with (naturally occurring) variations in color and grain, but the text immaculate and the binding unworn. This is the first color-printed edition featuring the illustrations from the fifth century A.D. manuscript of Homer's Iliad held by the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan. The miniatures depicting scenes from the Iliad are painted in a Hellenistic style, which leads scholars to believe that the manuscript may have been created in Alexandria. Sometime in the 11th century, the 58 scenes included in our book were cut from the manuscript and pasted into a codex of Homeric texts in the south of Italy. That volume later landed in the collection of Venetian humanist Gian Vincenzo Pinelli (1535-1601), who amassed the greatest library in 16th century Italy, and after Pinelli's death, the collection was purchased by Cardinal Federico Borromeo for the Ambrosiana Library. The images were removed from the 11th century text and rebound in 1612; they remained unrecognized for what they were until the early 1800s, when the scholarly Angelo Mai (1782-1854) began to study them. Our volume contains his descriptions of the illustrations in English and Latin, as well as an introduction in Italian, English, German, and French by Italian archaeologist and epigrapher Aristide Calderini (1883-1968). Following the reproduced color illustrations are black & white images of the text in the original Greek..
