[Paris, Bureaux de l'Isthme de Suez, Journal de l'Union des Deux Mers], 1861 Lithographic map (83 x 57 cm) in black, blue green and sepia, dissected into 21 segments, linen-backed and folding; linen along folds a bit brittle, light spoting and toning; route of the Suez Canal with altitude above sea level [?] marked in red ink; contemporary stamp Broquier Godefroy under title.

The map was linen backed for use in Egypt. Unfortunately the imprint in the lower margin is covered by the linen-backing.

London, George Philip, [late 1861]. A full-colour map, printed surface 610 x 510 mm, cut into 20 panels mounted on linen (as issued), folded, and mounted in the publisher's gilt-decorated cloth case (external dimensions 190 x 118 mm). Slight wear to the corners of the case, with minimal restoration to the spine; light erasures to the pastedown and paper-lined verso of the exposed panel of the folded map; the map is lightly marked in one spot, but is essentially in fine condition. There are two interesting rubber-stamps on one cloth panel, that of 'W.C. Rigby, Newsagent, Adelaide' and 'Archiv. Provinciae Austriae S.

Tooley 974 (basic details of the map only, not noting the Travelling Maps series). Pertinent details printed on the map that provide evidence of the date of publication include 'Burke & Wills 1860-61', and the locations where King, and the bodies of Gray, Burke and Wills, were found (King was found in September 1861).

Joseph Hyrtl gewidmet, speziell zum Ursprung der Lymphgefäße und ihrer Verteilung in den Lymphdrüsen, sowie in den einzelnen Organen. Besonders erwähnenswert sind die schönen Abbildungen (in weiß auf schwarzem Grund gedruckt). Ludwig Karol Teichmann (1823-1895) war Professor in Göttingen und später als Professor der Anatomie in Krakau tätig. Entdecker der Häminkristalle. First Edition, dedicated to the great anatomist Hyrtl, this is an important work on the lymphatic system. Teichmann "mastered time-consuming anatomical preparations to supply Henle with illustratons for his Handbuch der systematischen Anatomie.. Teichmann's main scientific interest was in the lymphatic vessels and their origin, which he studied by means of an original injection method. He maintained that no direct communication exists between blood capillaries and lymphatics, and discovered the obstruction of lymphatic vessels in elephantiasis ... Das Saugadernsystem ... is his main publication on the lymphatic system" -DSB, 13,274 Teichmann was professor on anatomy in Krakau and he is remembered by "Teichmann's Network" (superficial and deep lymphatic plexuses in the wall of the stomach), and the invention of the hemin crystals. cf.

Internally very clean. Binding nicely aged to brown on spine, some wear to top corners. This copy with half-title and the scarce 4-page advert for the 'autobiography' bound in at front, plus regular 16-page catalogue at rear A vintage receipt for the sale of this book is loosely inserted. Mary Ann Evans began her literary career as a translator and later editor of the Westminster Review. In 1857, she published 'Scenes of Clerical Life', the first of eight novels she would write under the name of 'George Eliot' including the important 'Middlemarch', and the popular 'Silas Marner', which was the author's own favourite. The novel centres on Silas Marner, the linen weaver of Raveloe, a village on the brink of industrialization. George Eliot's affectionate but unsentimental portrait of rural life combines irony, humour and sharp social comment. Above all, she demonstrates a profound and enduring knowledge of the human mind and heart.

Bruxelles, undated. - 8vo. 2 pp. on bifolium. Amicable letter to Carl Moll (1861-1945, Viennese Art Nouveau painter) telling him how much Khnopff would like to be able to do something that Moll obviously offered to him in a previous letter. Khnopff might be referring to a joint exhibition project in Vienna as he talks about his "profound acknowledgment" of Moll's reception. (Indeed, the two artists exhibited together at the Secession.) Khnopff continues by assuring Moll that he has never before experienced such a brotherly sympathy and that he will keep a precious memory of it "for the dark days to come". Fernand Khnopff ends his letter by sending his best compliments to Carl Moll's family and by looking ahead to a meeting in October: "Veuillez, je vous prie, présenter mes meilleurs compliments à Madame Moll et à Mademoiselle Alma la Grande et Grethel la Petite et agréer, cher confrère et ami, l'expression de mes remerciements les plus sincères [ ]" ("Please present my best compliments to Madame Moll and to Mademoiselle Alma the Big and Grethel the Little and accept, dear comrade and friend, the expression of my most sincere gratitude [ ]". - The Mademoiselles that Fernand Khnopff refers to are the two daughters that Carl Moll's wife, Anna Sofie Bergen, brought into the marriage. "Alma the Big" will later be known as the famous Alma Mahler-Werfel (1879-1964), muse to many artists, among which Oskar Kokoschka and Walter Gropius, and famous personality of the Viennese art world of the first half of the 20th century.
