Description
xii, [3], 250 pp.; 8 pp. Two vols. 8vo, attractive antique mottled half-calf & grey boards, spines gilt, red morocco lettering piece on spines. Paris: Veuve Tilliard et Fils, n.d. [sale: 20 Feb. 1800]. Very rare. “Ce catalogue renferme des articles précieux. M. André-Claude Patu de Mello, ancien payeur des rentes de l’hôtel-de-ville de Paris, né en 1726, est mort en 1799…M. Patu de Mello…possédoit un très beau cabinet de machines de physique et d’astronomie.”–Peignot, p. 117. Patu de Mello had strong scientific interests and the catalogue of his library lists 1957 lots, which for the largest part consisted of books on natural history, medicine, and the physical sciences. It is followed by the catalogue of his scientific instruments, here separately bound, describing 77 lots of magnets, electrical machines, barometers, thermometers, microscopes, astronomical instruments, and pendulums. The catalogue contains interesting notes concerning provenance, questions of bibliographical priority, and medical curiosities. Fine set. With the three-page schedule of the sale. ❧ Gustave Brunet, Dictionnaire de Bibliologie Catholique, col. 509–“Collection importante sur la physique et les sciences naturelles.” Grolier Club, Printed Catalogues of French Book Auctions...1643-1830, 402.

Description
Ca. 148 x 105 mm. Very slight smudging to one syllable of inscription and first letter of signature, not affecting legibility; minor annotations in pencil and slight remnants of adhesive to verso. "Besides his stage and film works [Stolz] composed several hundred individual songs and dances, and received many honours including Academy Awards, honorary citizenship of Vienna (1970) and a statue in his native city (1972). Stolz's longevity and his extensive promotion of his own music on LPs have led to him being ranked among the leading names of classical Viennese operetta. However, his more ambitious scores are less effective than the lighter songs he wrote for films and song-and-dance musicals, where he was able to display his melodic touch and rhythmic invention to particular effect." Andrew Lamb in Grove Music Online.

Description
Zurich: Max Künzli Verlag, 1970. Stiff wraps. Near fine. 12mo (6 5/16" x 7"); [12pp]; chromolithographed pictorial of anthropomorphic insects on stiff wrapper, a butterfly wedding on the front, and a queen bee riding on a flower petal on the rear; 2 staple binding; produced as a coloring guide book with text, color pictorial to one page and the facing page in black outline; light crease to bottom corner; near fine. Not recorded. The publisher, Max Künzli, of Zurich, Switzerland, had a long history of high quality chromolithography. The family was in the printing business from before 1880, and established several companies in Zurich. After his father's death, Max took over the management of the business, Carl Künzli-Tobler, and changed the name to Max Künzli. Max's son, Raymond, took over the business in 1965, and it closed in 1974. [Alan Petrulis, Metropostcards (dot) com]. During its heyday, it was known as a printer of viewbooks, greeting cards, and postcards, most notably, what became known as the Mainzer Cat series after Alfred Mainzer Inc of New York acquired the rights of these humorous drawings by artist Eugen Hartung. The dressed, anthropomorphic cats continue to be a highly collected postcard series today. Following in this vein of humorous anthropomorphic animals, this little coloring book features insects, reptiles, birds, and small mammals involved in play.
