Title: Scraps From the Sketch-Book of Henry Alken
Author: ALKEN, Henry
Seller: David Brass Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: London: Thomas M'Lean, 1825. Very Scarce Alken With Forty-Two Hand-Colored Plates Engraved by Alken Himself ALKEN, Henry. Scraps From the Sketch-Book of Henry Alken. Engraved by Himself. Containing Forty-Two Plates. London: Thomas M'Lean, 1825. Second edition (plates dated 1820), complete; preceded by the oblong quarto edition of 1823, but of equal rarity. Tall octavo (10 x 8 1/4 in; 254 x 210). Title leaf (verso blank), and forty-two hand-colored engraved plates, twelve with multiple images. Title-page watermarked "1822", plates watermarked "J. Whatman 1822 & 1823". Contemporary half crimson morocco over pink paper boards. Original red leather title label lettered in gilt to upper board. Smooth spine ruled in gilt. Small bookplate to front free-endpaper. A fine copy of an extremely scarce album by Henry Alken. This edition of 1825 has not been seen at auction since 1968. The last copy of the first edition of 1821 came to auction in 1970. OCLC records just three copies of the first edition of 1823. There are no copies of the edition under notice in institutional holdings across the globe. While Siltzer notes an Alken Sketch Book of 1820 (34 plates), and the Scraps... edition of 1822, he makes no mention of an 1825 octavo edition. It is not in found in Tooley or Abbey in any edition. The "Scraps" include equestrian, hunting, dog, bowling scenes, etc. In short, each print features a sporting tableau. Of Alken, Siltzer wrote, "It took but a short time for the leading art publishers of London to recognize his genius and to discover that they had 'struck a reef' of both artistic and financial value, and the well-known firms of Thomas M'Lean, S. and J. Fuller, and Rudolph Ackermann were not slow to reaping full benefit... It appears that Alken himself occasionally engraved plates, and thus added to the facility of production..." Cf. Siltzer, p. 71.

Title: Los Tres Siglos de Mejico Durante el Gobierno Español Hasta la Entrada del Ejercito Trigarante
Author: Cavo, Andres
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Mexico City, 1852. Very good.. vi,415,[1]pp. Quarto. Contemporary blind-embossed calf, with gilt floral borders on the boards and gilt spine titles. Marbled endpapers and ell edges marbled. Minor edge wear and rubbing. Occasional foxing and toning. An important study by two notable Latin American historians. The first part of the work was written in Rome by Father Andrés Cavo, a member of the Jesuit order, who served as a missionary with the Nayar Indians until 1767 and who had to leave New Spain due to a decree of expulsion from the Jesuits. He passed away in 1803. The second part and the supplement were written by Carlos María de Bustamante based on his research in the National Archives, taking up the story of Father Cavo starting with the decree of expulsion of the Jesuits and culminating with the entry of Iturbide to Mexico City in 1821. The book also contains details of colonial life not found in any other source. Cavo reveals in various features his alignment with a separate Mexican nationality, rather than Spanish or New Spanish. OCLC reports only one copy in the United States, at the University of Minnesota, and a half dozen institutional holdings in Germany and Spain.
