Victorian Middle East Photograph Album Assembled by J. Menderson [NP]: NP, [ca. 1870-90]. Hardcover. Very good. Oblong quarto album if full leather with name stamped in gilt on front board, newly rebacked. Thirty 10" by 8" images plus four 5" by 4" images, each protected by a tissue guard. Small nicks to the edges of the first image [Bay of Algiers] , else contents in fine condition. Menderson remains anonymous, but was most likely an American of financial means and leisure. Of the identified photographers work, four are those of Luigi Fiorillo's studio and three are of Bonfil's. A nice grouping of images detailing people and places beginning with Algeria, progressing to Egypt, and finally ending at the Wailing Wall in Palestine; of particularly interest is the portrait of the reclining 'Zora', attributed to Jean Geiser. Though fully clothed, reclined with cigarette in hand, the image would no doubt nibble at the prurient interest of the Victorian traveler. [Bookseller: Kenneth Mallory Bookseller. ABAA]

An den Kunsthistoriker Otto Mündler (1856-1888), u. a. über den schleppenden Absatz seines neuen Buches (1862), mit einer Empfehlung des Kunsthändlers Land (1864) und über Mündlers Beitrag zu Burckhardts "Cicerone" (1870): "[.] Mit meinem eigenen Buch verhält es sich leider nicht so wie Freund Lübke glaubt. Es ist eine traurige Thatsache, daß wir in Summe keine 200 Ex[em]p[lare] abgesetzt haben. Man kauft in Deutschland so gar nicht mehr. Ich hatte den mir eng befreundeten Verleger, der vom (reichhonorirten) Cicerone her noch nicht auf seinen Kosten ist, umsonst gewarnt, nicht über 500 drucken zu lassen; er hat 750 gedruckt u. behält nun das Surplus in Ballen im Magazin. Auf diese Erfahrung hin habe ich mich entschlossen, von der 'Kunst der Renaissance' nur ein Geripp auszuarbeiten, etwa 20 Bogen, und bei diesem Anlaß nur diejenigen Resultate mitzutheilen, die mir neu scheinen [.]" (5. I. 1862). - "[.] Gestern erhielt ich [.] die 'Beiträge zum Cicerone'. Das Vorwort, worin Sie meiner Arbeit (viel zu sehr im Guten) gedenken, haben [!] mich gerührt u. beschämt, und als ich mich nun in das Heft hineinlas und der enormen von mir einst in Verwegenheit geschossenen Böcke inne wurde, fand ich es für eine wahre Pflicht, mich darob gegen Sie bestmöglich zu entschuldigen. Der Cicerone wurde nämlich unternommen nicht nur von einer äußerst ungenügenden ästhetischen Basis aus, sondern auch unter sehr zweifelhaften Umständen und mit geringen Mitteln, in einem Augenblick da ich meine hiesige Anstellung verloren hatte und nicht recht wußte, was aus mir werden sollte. Er hat mir dann allerdings treulich geholfen und mir die Professur am eidg. Politechnicum zu Zürich eingetragen, sodaß ich ihm immer ein ehrendes Andenken schuldig bin [.]". - Der Br. v. 5.

EL LIBRO ROJO Mexico, 1870. Large folio. Brown publisher's morocco, stamped in black and gilt, gilt inner dentelles, a.e.g. Hinges rubbed, corners lightly rubbed. Some light scattered foxing, but generally quite clean. Very good. An elaborate 19th-century Mexican lithographic book, issued on a grand scale with large lithographs after drawings by Primitivo Miranda, depicting a pantheon of martyrs of the Mexican nation. Riva Palacio and Payno were noted intellectuals, and with this book they clearly sought to immortalize those who had sacrificed their lives for the nation, thus the title, LIBRO ROJO or Red Book, signifying the bloodshed throughout Mexican history. Interestingly, many of the plates depict horrors inflicted either by Spaniards or by the Mexican Inquisition. Depicted here are Montezuma II, Cuauhtemoc, Martin Cortez, Pedro de Alvarado, la familia Carabajal, la familia Dongo, Hidalgo, Allende, Morelos, Guerrero, Los Marires de Tacubaya, and Maximilian. The plate titled "La Peste (1577)" is partially colored and depicts a country village in Mexico affected by the plague. The lithographs are by Hernandez and Iriarte, the whole printed by Diaz de Leon y White. A rare complete copy of this unusual lithographic book, here in a beautiful binding and in very nice condition. [Bookseller: William Reese Company - Americana]

[FORTY LITHOGRAPHIC VIEWS, MOSTLY OF THE WEST INDIES AND INCLUDING A FEW OF NORTH AMERICA] [Halifax or Bermuda, 1870. Oblong folio. Contemporary album of embossed cloth, rebacked and recornered in calf, gilt-lettered leather label ("West Indies") on front board. Some light spotting, but in very good condition. In a folding box, leather label. An album of exceedingly rare lithographic views of scenes in the West Indies and North America. Though unattributed, these lithographs are after original drawings by Vice Admiral Sir Edward Gennys Fanshawe of the British Royal Navy. The drawings were made by him while he was Commander in Chief of the North American and West Indies Station from 1870 to 1874, and we believe the lithographs to have been made about the same time. Vice Admiral Fanshawe (1814-1906) was the son of a distinguished general and the grandson of naval commander Robert Fanshawe, who served with Admiral John Byron. Fanshawe attended the Royal Naval College at Portsmouth and entered the navy in December 1828. He served in the Mediterranean, India, and in the home and Lisbon stations. In 1841 he was promoted to commander and was sent to the East Indies, where he earned acclaim for reducing a pirate stronghold at Borneo. He then served in the Pacific, in the Baltic during the Crimean War, and again in the Mediterranean. In 1863 he was promoted to Rear Admiral, and two years later was made a Lord of the Admiralty. In 1870, Fanshawe was promoted to Vice Admiral and was appointed Commander in Chief of the North American and West Indies Station, a position he held until 1874. Following that he was president of the Royal Naval College, then Commander in Chief at Portsmouth until his retirement in 1879. Vice Admiral Fanshawe was an accomplished artist who painted and sketched throughout his long career in the navy. The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich holds several paintings by Fanshawe, as well as an album of lithographic views after his sketches in the West Indies, North America, and Borneo (presented to the Museum in 1951). When Fanshawe was appointed Commander in Chief of the North American and West Indies Station in September in 1870, he sailed with his family for Halifax, Nova Scotia. Joining him was his son (a future Admiral of the Fleet), Arthur Fanshawe, as his flag lieutenant. The Fanshawes mainly lived at Admiralty House, Halifax in the summer and at Clarence Hill, Bermuda in the winter. During the winters Fanshawe took regular cruises around the West Indies to show the flag, visit British stations, and conduct fleet exercises. Among the places visited were Demerara, Trinidad, St. Vincent, Martinique, Barbados, Antigua, Jamaica (a yearly occurrence), and Cuba. He also visited the United States and Canada, taking his flagship, the Royal Alfred, to Annapolis and meeting with President Grant in Washington, as well as visiting Quebec, Ottawa, and Niagara Falls. Nearly all the lithographs in the present album match the lithographs as captioned and described in the Fanshawe album of views in the West Indies, North America, and Borneo at the National Maritime Museum (NMM). In their cataloguing of that album of lithographs, the NMM states: "It can only be assumed [Fanshawe] made the drawings that are the basis of the West Indian and American lithographs: who turned them into prints and when is unknown. It is not impossible he did so himself later but perhaps unlikely: his son Evelyn might be another possibility, since he was also an amateur photographer." We surmise the lithographs were created from Fanshawe's drawings while he was Commander in Chief in North America, and that they were likely made in either Halifax (where he summered) or Bermuda (where he wintered). In all there are forty views in the present album, including depictions of Bermuda, Jamaica, St. Kitts, Antigua, Trinidad, Tobago, and elsewhere in the West Indies. A few of the views are of North America and include views of Niagara Falls and the St. Lawrence River. The views included in the album are as follows: 1) "From Signal Hill, - Bermuda." 2) Untitled, showing a coastal fortress with sailboats and a canoe circling it. 3) "St. Salvador." Captioned in pencil. 4) "Court House. Berbice." 5) "Bocca Grande Trinidad." 6) "Rockly Bay. Tobago." 7) "Forte King George Tobago." 8) "U. Point of Man of War Bay." 9) "Man of War Bay. Tobago." 10) "Courtam. Tobago." 11) "Fort George. Grenada." 12) "Grenada." 13) "Bay of Cariacou Grenadines." Captioned in pencil. 14) "Dorsetshire Hill. St. Vincents." 15) "Berkshire Hill and Kingstown. St. Vincents." 16) "From Marne Fortune St. Lucia." 17) "Pigeon Island." 18) "The Pitons St. Lucia." 19) "Roseau. Dominica." 20) "Dows Hill. Antigua." 21) "From Shirley Heights. Antigua." 22) "Freemans Bay." 23) "Falmouth Bay. Antigua." 24) "Basse terre. St. Kitts." 25) "Entrance of the Harbour of St. Thomas's." 26) "Kingston Bay from Ft. Nugent - Jamaica." 27) "Off Morant. Jamaica." 28) "Kingston Bay. From near Port Royal. Jamaica." 29) "Port Antonio - Jamaica." 30) "Rio Bueno. Jamaica." 31) "Staten Island." 32) "7 Miles West of Gannequis." 33) "Falls at Montmorenci." 34) "Lake St. Peters. St. Laurence." 35) "Falls of Niagara." 36) "Riviere de Loup." 37) "Looking up Niagara River from near Fort George." 38) "Iceberg." 39) "St. Ann's Church." 40) "Near By Town." Apparently Ottawa. An outstanding album of rare and accomplished lithographic views in the West Indies and North America, by the British commanding Admiral of the North American and West Indies Station.

Vulgate Bible; decorated thirteenth-century Spanish manuscript on parchment DECORATED MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPT IN LATIN ON PARCHMENT, Spain, Kingdom of Castile (Seville?), c. 1240-1260. 172 x 123 mm. 328 folios on parchment, missing five leaves and two quires, else complete (collation, i2 ii6 iii-vii12 viii-xi14 xii13 [of 18, 14 through 18 cancelled with no loss of text] xiii-xxiii12 xxiv11 [of 12, 9 is lacking with loss of text] xxv12 xxvi6 [of 10, 7 through 10 lacking with loss of text] xxvii14 xxviii4), copied by at least three scribes with varying two-column layouts, all ruled in lead: 1, catchwords, written on 56 lines in a small upright Gothic bookhand with some documentary/cursive features; 2, quire signatures, written on 58 lines in a very tiny precise Gothic bookhand; 3, catchwords, written on 54 lines in a small precise Gothic bookhand, red and blue running titles and Roman numerals numbering th chapters, verses sometimes daubed with red, chapters begin with 1-line initials in red or blue or 2-line initials in red or blue with contrasting pen decoration, NUMEROUS VERY FINE PEN INITIALS preceding prologues and each book of the Bible, 3- to 16-line in red or blue (or parted with red and blue) with contrasting pen decoration, often with touches of green or pale yellow wash. BINDING: Bound in fifteenth-century Spanish or Italian brown leather, blind-tooled with large compartments with intersecting diagonal double fillets forming numerous small compartments, each enclosing a small round stamp, all over beveled wooden boards (possibly original?) with rounded edges, cut flush with the bookblock, sewn on five bands of tawed leather (split or double) pegged into channels cut into inside board, formerly with two straps and catches, front to back (partial remains of one strap, front board), rebacked, housed in red leather fitted slip case, tooled in gold and lettered on the spine, ?"MSS. Bible / 13th Century,?" with protective folded inner covering. TEXT: This is a rare example of a thirteenth-century portable Bible copied in Spain. Small Bibles containing both Old and New Testaments were copied in great numbers in thirteenth-century France (particularly Paris), England, and Italy, but Spanish Bibles of this type are significantly less common and await full scholarly study. This Bible demonstrates a knowledge of many of the up-to-date features of the Paris Bible, but it does not follow the text of that Bible and was probably copied from locally available exemplars. PROVENANCE: Written in Spain in the middle of the thirteenth century, c. 1240-1260. The distinctive pen decoration link this to other Bibles made in Castile, and the medieval binding is probably also Spanish. This was used by Franciscans early on and was likely made for Franciscan use. An ownership note suggests that the book was then owned by Dominican friars, posibly in Italy (Urbino?). Marginal annotations by several thirteenth- to fifteenth-century hands reflect interests of early owners; one has compared the text with the Hebrew. Belonged to John S. Doney; his extensive notes on inside front cover and f. 1 signed and dated 1 June 1870. Belonged to Charles V. Wheeler of Washington, DC; sold by Walpole Galleries, 29 July 1919, lot 594. Belonged to Coella Lindsay Ricketts (1859-1941), calligrapher and illuminator of Chicago, Illinois. Belonged to Otto Orren Fisher (d. 1961?); his bookplate inside back cover. CONDITION: Several small holes in back and front covers, bottom half of the final leaf cut away with no loss of text, but overall in very good condition.

The Vicar of Bullhampton. By Anthony Trollope. With thirty illustrations by H. Woods. London: Bradbury, Evans, and Co., 11, Bouverie Street, 1870. Demy 8vo, gathered irregularly in eights and sixes (v. note); wood-engraved frontispiece with conjugate vignette title-page, twenty-two inserted plates with tissue guards, and eleven vignettes printed in the text; 10pp. integral advertisements at end; pp.xvi (including frontispiece and title-leaf)+481+[i (blank)]+[x (not paginated)]; smooth brown cloth, blocked black on sides and spine, pictorially blocked gilt on front cover, blocked and lettered gilt on spine; t.e. uncut, fore-edges lightly trimmed; end-papers faced grey. Slight wear to head and tail of spine, with slight loss of gilt to top rule; slight marginal foxing to one plate; otherwise a very nice copy. Scarce thus. A volume too heavy for its binding, which is seldom found to-day in its original cloth - and rarely in nice state. Sadleir, ?'Trollope?', 32: Sadleir?'s ?'A?' issue (preferred) with the advertisements corresponding to those of the parts issue. In this copy the plate to p.245 has a full-stop after ?'in?' instead of a comma, whilst that to p.311 lacks the closing inverted commas: both points noted by Sadleir as characteristic of the book issue rather than copies bound up from the parts. One or two light pencilled corrections have been made using proofing marks, which suggests that this may at some point have been a publisher?'s copy. The book was never reprinted in its original form, but a reset edition was published in 1871. All books listed by Robert Temple are first editions unless otherwise stated.

A SKETCH OF THE HISTORY AND RESOURCES OF DAKOTA TERRITORY Yankton, 1870. Colored frontispiece map. Modern half cloth and paper boards. Very clean and fresh internally. Fine. One of the earliest works on the Dakota-Wyoming frontier, and among the first locally printed works on Dakota Territory and on gold in the Black Hills. "Batchelder compiled this report in response to numerous requests from acquaintances in the East. The section on railroads, pp.40-43, states that in August 1870, Dakota has not yet a line of railroads, but describes the Northern Pacific railroad which is to pass through the territory, and gives a list of other projected roads" - Streeter. Batchelder was the Secretary of Dakota Territory, and this work covers the early history and exploration of the region, Indians, climate, soil, produce, stock raising, mineral resources, and investment possibilities. A "Map of Dakota in Miniature" is the frontispiece. The first letter of each section of text is printed with a large, stylized initial, quite unusual for an early frontier imprint.

EL LIBRO ROJO. Mexico. 1870. - [2],153pp. plus lithograph titlepage and thirty-eight lithographed plates (at least one with hand coloring). Large folio. Brown publisher's morocco, stamped in black and gilt, gilt dentelles, a.e.g. Hinges rubbed, corners lightly rubbed. Some light scattered foxing, but generally quite clean. Very good. An elaborate 19th-century Mexican lithographic book, issued on a grand scale with large lithographs after drawings by Primitivo Miranda, depicting a pantheon of martyrs of the Mexican nation. Riva Palacio and Payno were noted intellectuals and with this book they clearly sought to immortalize those who had sacrificed their lives for the nation, thus the title LIBRO ROJO or Red Book, signifying the bloodshed throughout Mexican history. Interestingly, many of the plates depict horrors inflicted either by Spaniards or by the Mexican Inquisition. Depicted here are Moctezuma II, Cuauhtemoc, Martin Cortez, Pedro de Alvarado, la familia Carabajal, la familia Dongo, Hidalgo, Allende, Morelos, Guerrero, Los Marires de Tacubaya and Maximilian. The plate titled "La Peste (1577)" is partially colored and depicts a country village in Mexico affected by the plague. The lithographs are by Hernadez and Iriarte, the whole printed by Diaz de Leon y White. A rare complete copy of this unusual lithographic book, here in a beautiful binding and in very nice condition.
