Description
Paris, ca. 1430. 191 x 140 mm. (7 1/2 x 5 1/2"). Single column, 16 lines, in an elegant gothic book hand. Rubrics in gold, line-fillers with color foliate and geometric designs on burnished gold ground, two one-line initials and three two-line initials in blue or pink enclosing colored vines with foliage on gold ground, one four-line initial in blue with white decoration, enclosing a lattice pattern, each compartment with an orange or blue leaf on gold ground, BOTH SIDES WITH A DENSE RINCEAUX BORDER consisting of colorful acanthus, flowers, and many hairline vines terminating in gold leaves, ivy and seed pods, and with numerous gilt bezants. With just a couple tiny scuffs to paint and with slight rubbing to some of the small gold details, but in lovely condition. This is an opulently decorated leaf from a Book of Hours, offered in fine condition with glittering rinceaux borders, delicate initials, and luxurious gold rubrics. These sumptuous details and the high quality of the work indicate that this leaf was part of a costly manuscript commissioned by a wealthy patron. Other leaves from the same parent manuscript were sold at Bloomsbury on 6 December 2017, lots 63 and 64. One of these leaves showed St. Genèvieve leading the female saints in the Litany, pointing to Paris as the place of origin..

Description
Portsmouth, N.H.: Printed at the N.H. Gazette office,, [1808].. A New Englander's defense of the Embargo Act against Daniel Webster's recent pamphlet, CONSIDERATIONS ON THE EMBARGO LAWS (1808), which is considered to be Webster's first publication. The anonymous author of the present pamphlet recounts the military and economic events leading up to the passage of the embargo laws and calls for fellow northerners - and specifically residents of New Hampshire - to evince their patriotism and unite with the southern states in support of the Embargo and U.S. neutrality. New England, whose economy was largely dependent upon international shipping and trade, suffered disproportionately after Congress passed the Embargo Act in 1807 and produced a large share of its most vociferous opponents. By the end of 1808, the Act had lost all but its most ardent supporters and was replaced with the weak Nonintercourse Act in January 1809. As economically damaging as the Embargo was to New England in the short term, it would prove to have far-reaching benefits, forcing the region to develop the strong manufacturing base that would lead to its later prosperity and self-sufficiency. OCLC locates four copies. Scarce. Dbd. First leaf detached. Soft horizontal fold. Toned and foxed. A good copy. SABIN 96013. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 16331.

Description
Philadelphia: J.W. Moore,, 1851.. Although this work was published anonymously, Hinckley is listed as the illustrator. Whether or not he also wrote the text is debatable. Unlike many drawing books of the period that focus exclusively on perspective and the empirical side of painting, this one considers contrasting use of color, the formation of figures, etc., with an eye towards creating certain aesthetic effects with one's technique. Original green cloth, stamped in blind and gilt, spine gilt. Corners bit bumped. Light scattered foxing. Very good. SCHIMMELMAN, AMERICAN IMPRINTS ON ART 259. DREPPERD, AMERICAN DRAWING BOOKS, p.17.
