Description: [Paris]: Imp. de Lemercier, [1840?]. First Edition. Original cloth backed publisher's burgundy patterned, gilt stamped cloth. This copy has the original binder's ticket from Barth in Tours.. Very good; title-page somewhat spotted; some modest scuffing to the binding; hinges strained; the plates have some scattered, modest spotting.. Oblong folio. Tinted lithographic title and 20 tinted lithographic plates. A facility for juvenile delinquents that was founded by Frederic Demetz in 1840. It was revolutionary at the time because it was the first segregated penal institution for juveniles. The goal was to rehabilitate juvenile criminals by promoting manual labor, education, religious, and moral instruction. The book offered here illustrates daily life at Mettray. The camp fell into disarray and overcrowding in the late 19th century and became infamous for its cruel and harsh treatment. Jean Genet spent time at Mettray as a youth and wrote about his experiences. The lithography is by Sauve, Tirpenne and Faivre after A Thierry. See J. Bourquin et E. Pierre, 'Une visite à Mettray par l'image: l'album de gravures de 1844,' in "Sociétés & Représentations", 2004/2 (no. 18), p. 207-216.

Title: Heydrick's Ownership Map of Knox Co., Texas
Author: [Texas]: [Oil]
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: About very good.
Description: Wichita Falls, Tx: Heydrick Mapping Company, 1976. About very good.. Blue line map, 45.5 x 42 inches. On paper. Folded. Toning across top and bottom portions, light edge wear. A late but nonetheless instructive oil map of Knox County, Texas, printed by the Heydrick Mapping Company which was known for its oil maps. Indeed, their slogan on the map indicates, "Oil men have used Heydrick maps since 1870." The legend shows various kinds of oil and gas wells -- producing, dry, drilled, etc. Most of the oil activity is along the southern part of the county, with a deep concentration of wells and oil companies noted across the D.G. Burnett lands. Dozens of oil companies are represented here, many of which would be gone when the Texas oil boom busted in the early-1980s, though production in Knox County was relatively steady through the lean times. Knox County is located between the DFW metroplex and Lubbock, and oil was discovered there in 1945. "Oil was discovered in Knox County in 1945. By 1946 the county's first successful oil well had been spudded on the Beavers Ranch, north of Benjamin; in subsequent years other wells were drilled in the southern part of the county. In 1948 oil production was only thirty-seven barrels, but in 1956 it reached 978,715, and in 1960, almost 2,415,000. County oil wells produced 2,065,000 barrels in 1965, 771,089 barrels in 1974, and 1,421,964 barrels in 1982. Production totaled about 888,000 barrels in 1990, and by January 1, 1991, almost 55,881,000 barrels had been taken from Knox County lands since discovery in 1945" - Handbook of Texas online. All Heydrick maps of Texas are scarce, regardless of when they were produced, with the vast majority being located in only one or two copies. OCLC shows one copy each of editions printed in 1930 and 1957, but not this 1976 version.
