Description
Paris: Chez Le Clerc, 1768. First Edition. Hardcover. Vellum covered boards, raised bands, spine title missing. Very good. [2], i-viii, 1-242, [4] pages. 16.5 x 10 cm. Engraved frontispiece titled "L' Art de bien faire les glaces" and two engraved plates of utensils. Elizabeth David's oval bookplate at verso of front cover. Annotated in pen (not David). Laid in: Three page of Elizabeth David's notes plus notes on previous sales of this publication. This is the first and only edition of the first treatise devoted to frozen desserts. The author, Emy, traces the history of freezing since Antiquity. Nearly one hundred and fifty ice cream and ice recipes are followed by twenty recipes for whipped cream mousses. Coloring techniques are explained in detail and uncommon fruit combinations and preparations are discussed. An example of some of these unexpected flavors include saffron, truffle, rye bread, spinach, bergamot, violet, and many more. This book contains one of the earliest references to the use of pineapples. Elizabeth David's interest in this work dates back to the mid 1970s when she began researching early ice-cream recipes, and the links between Levantine sherbets and the sorbets and ices of Europe. David wrote a number of articles on early ice and sorbets before turning her interest to the role of ice and snow as both luxury and necessity in warmer countries. David later investigated the seventeenth-century inventors and scientists who had experimented with freezing and producing cold by artificial means. David's notes - laid in - comment on some of these topics as well as early Chinese use of salts for freezing. Light water staining to head 3 cm. from approx. pg. 60-100. All edges red.

Description
Various places, 1940. Good. 11" x 15". Full leather over flexible card. 58 loose leaves with 406 photographs mostly adhesive mounted and another 32 laid in. Approximately two thirds of the photos are captioned. Album good as all leaves are detached and the leaves themselves are chipped, and prone to more chipping such that handling the album results in flecks of black paper and dirty fingertips; contents good to very good. This is a mammoth album compiled by an entrepreneurial Cuban American which documents his life in both Cuba and the United States as well as his worldwide travels. It's the creation of one Ruben Ares, who was born in Cuba in 1915 and became a United States Citizen in 1954; a copy of his Certificate of Naturalization is included. A couple photos taken on the roof of the Havana University Hospital show that Ruben's brother was studying medicine and his sister was studying to be a pharmacist. There are also a few photos of his brother Argelio at the University of Montana in 1947. Many show Ruben and family members in Cuba, including more than one series around his parents' home. Ruben's father owned a cattle ranch and farm in Santa Rita and there are many images showing the ranch, stock, areas of planting and workers during the 1930s. Ruben's father also owned a rice mill and there are several images of Ruben at the mill in 1948. There are images of Ruben's sister and her family as well as his brother's farm in Veguitas. One series shows Ruben and his brother on the streets of Baltimore in 1947 while another series of ten larger photos were taken inside of a bar and nightclubs in Miami and Baltimore in the 1940s; there are also several photos of Latin American performers. The collection further includes two of Ruben's business cards and images of his occupational duties. One business card is from Baltimore when Ruben was the manager of a coffee shop and another is from Hialeah, Florida where he was the manager of a women's sportswear manufacturer. One photo shows that Ruben owned and ran a barber shop in Baltimore while another photo from Baltimore in 1947 shows that he ran two other small businesses there: the Pan-American Export & Import Company and the Universal Travel Agency. In that vein is a photo of Ruben in Washington, D.C. with the caption, "Me-coming out of the US Dept of Commerce Building -I was there obtaining a license for a shipment of lard and soybean oil to Cuba and Venezuela." Another shows him in Atlantic City in 1947 for the 100th anniversary of the American Medical Association where he was attached to the delegation of the Dominican Republic. There are also series of photos documenting Ruben's worldwide travel including trips to Japan, Jamaica, Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia. A couple of photos in each locale show he spent time in the Philippines, Italy, and Iraq as well. A massive album, worthy of deeper research.
