Title: Nineteenth century American, turned (carved?) wood, torah pointer
Author: TORAH POINTER - AMERICAN JUDAICA
Seller: Palinurus Antiquarian Books (United States)
Condition: Very good; wanting(?) two small decorative insets at the hand where, what appear to be, filled placement sockets are visible.
Description: [New England?], Last half of 19th century. As made.. Very good; wanting(?) two small decorative insets at the hand where, what appear to be, filled placement sockets are visible.. Wood (Elm?) with 5 onlaid (tacked) panbone plaques and a fitted coin silver collar (appx. 15 mm. long) with applied "chain link" design to secure the tip of the pointer. The pointer is appx. 230 mm. long and appx. 23 mm. at its greatest diameter. Rare. An American Torah pointer made in New England (? - given the whalebone plaque onlays) some time in the last half of the 19th century. The plain turned body (somewhat eccentric) and off-center inset plain "button" and plaque decoration indicates an untrained craftsman but with facility with, and access to, panbone (flat pieces of whalebone from a rear jawbone extension of a sperm whale cut as sections and polished). The five plaques are fitted along the longitudinal axis (they each meas. appx. 175 x 10 x 2 mm.) secured by small brass tacks that are skillfully applied.

Title: A Practical treatise on Painting in Three Parts
Author: Burnet John
Seller: The Book Block (United States)
Description: London jas. Carpenter, 1828. 4to. (10 3/4 x 8 1/8 inches), full crushed brown morocco with a triple gilt fillet border surrounding a series of blind blocked borders and four small corner fleurons; the spine, which is lightly sunned, has four raised bands and is nicely gilt titled and decorated within the compartments. Board edges gilt, inner gilt fillets, a.e.g. Signed in gilt on the inner front fore-edge turn-in: COLNAGHI COCKSPUR STREET.The work with a general title (above) contains three separate essays as follows: Practical Hints on Composition in Painting (1828); Practical Hints on Light and Shade in Painting (1827); and, Pracitcal Hints on Colour in Painting (1828). Each essay contains a section of etched illustrations, some by Burnet himself but most after the world's acknowledged masters: Titian, Vandyke, Rubens, Rembrandt, et. al. There are over 100 etchings from celebrated pictures of the Italian, Venetian, Flemish, Dutch and English schools. Particularly good are the hand-colored examples from the last part. The book was very popular as evidenced by the fact that it was published well into the last third of the century. The three sections, each with its own title-page, are designated respectively third, second, and second edition. The letterpress is nicely printed by Chas. Whittingham.Colnaghi & Son, one of London's leading art dealers since the eighteenth century, is seldom thought of as a source of finely bound books. Ramsden (London Bookbinders 1780-1840), however, on page 52 makes the following observation about a Colnaghi bound book seen in 1951 at Marks: "Impressed in gilt on the inside edge of a russia binding on an 1818 publiction." A scarce example. Signed Binding: COLNAGHI COCKSPUR STREET
