        Libyan Chain of Mountains, from the Temple of Luxor.

      G. Moon 1847 Litografia colorata di mm 350x500 su foglio di 450x605.Tratta da Egypt & Nubia, considerata assieme a The Holy Land (sempre dello stesso autore) la più grande opera illustrata in litografia di tutto il XIX secolo. Dopo aver compiuto studi d'arte e aver lavorato come pittore di scene teatrali in Glasgow e Londra, David Roberts (1796-1864) compì un lunghissimo viaggio che lo portò a visitare buona parte dell'Europa, del Medio Oriente e del Nord Africa, località affascinanti ed esotiche che lo colpirono particolarmente e che egli provvide a ritrarre in numerosi acquerelli. Tornato in Inghilterra, riuscì a pubblicare i dipinti presso l'editore Moon di Londra il quale, oltre a pagarlo profumatamente per la concessione dei diritti, lo assunse come supervisore all'opera di Louis Haghe, che doveva riprodurre gli originali in litografia. Questo è il giudizio che Roberts espresse sull'opera di Haghe: "Haghe has not only surpassed himself, but all that has hitherto been done of a similar nature. He has rendered the views in a style clear, simple and unlaboured, with a masterly vigour and boldness which none but a painter like him could have transferred to stone". La pubblicazione dell'opera ebbe un immediato e grandissimo successo, che contribuì non poco a collocare Roberts tra i più grandi pittori di paesaggi e di architetture.Abbey Travel I, 272: "One of the most important and elaborate ventures of nineteenth-century publishing, and...the apotheosis of the tinted lithograph".Bell'esemplare, con leggere e sporadiche fioriture marginali.

        Plate CXVI American Black or Silver Fox. (Vulpes Fulves, Desm. Var Argentatus, Rich.) The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America

      Philadelphia: Audubon, J.J. , 1847. Imperial Folio Edition Fine with rich original hand-coloring. Plate CXVI. Vulpes Fulves, Desm. Var Argentatus, Rich. Black and Silver Fox Original and rare hand-colored lithograph (21 x 27 inches, 533.4 x 686.8 mm) by JT Bowen after painting by John Woodhouse Audubon, for the Imperial Folio Edition of the Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America. This Black and Silver Fox is in Very Fine condition with bright and rich original hand-coloring, the brightest we have seen to date. Expertly custom framed in conservation materials, as shown, by Lowry-James Rare Prints & Books, ABAA, ILAB. Framed size is 36 x 31 inches, 914 x 787.4 mm. The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America (Philadelphia c.1845-48) represents the culmination of a lifelong dream held by America&#39;s most prominent naturalist and visionary, John James Audubon (1785-1851). Following the completion of his magnum opus, the Double Elephant Folio Edition of Birds of America, c. 1824-38, Audubon was at liberty to pursue a project close to his heart, large scale portraits of all of North America&#39;s native animals. Audubon&#39;s effort to render America four-legged (thus quadruped) mammals in their natural settings pioneered the way for an entire culture of naturalist artists and engravers. Once the animals were placed within their native habitat, inspired by Audubon&#39;s classical composition and watchful eye, most subsequent naturalist painters rarely presented animals and birds void of a full botanical perch, landscaped setting, or woodland background. Very few, if any naturalist artists returned to the solo vignette so commonly found in most natural history works from the previous three centuries. Audubon&#39;s dream to complete this monumental work was made manifest through the artistic and clerical assistance of his two sons, John Woodhouse and Victor Gifford, as well as the Reverend John Bachman, who contributed the excellent text for the production. Today, the tale of Audubon&#39;s westward journey to hunt and gather skins and specimens and thus inspiration to complete the 155 paintings for the Quadrupeds is common enough. The story of how he sold his work through subscription format and created a smaller (Royal Octavo Edition) as a more democratic and affordable option to the production has been told religiously, and in great detail, by anyone reviewing these masterpieces once again. Yet through these critiques, America&#39;s premier ornithologist, painter and naturalist has gained his rightful place among the masters of Animal Portraiture, painters like Edwin Landseer and George Stubbs. Regardless of any criticism his artistic practices and personal affairs may have encountered, Audubon&#39;s legacy has enriched our understanding and appreciation of America&#39;s native species, both birds and animals. In addition, through Audubon&#39;s paintings we are offered the very first glimpses of the American landscape west of the Mississippi, as his work predates that of the Hudson River Artists. Although Lowry-James Rare Prints & Books has featured the monumental edition of Audubon&#39;s work since 1989, this new collection of plates is the strongest body of mammals we have has the good fortune to acquire. These plates have not seen the light of day, thus the coloring of each of the plates is strong and rich, hand-painted with a multitude of subtle colors which are often lost to fading. In a word, these prints are the finest Audubon animals available, and must been seen. (Blum, Picturing Nature, Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1993. Sabin 2367, Wood 208).

        [MANUSCRIPT LETTER, SIGNED BY U.S. NAVY COMMODORE GEORGE CAMPBELL READ AT CAPE VERDE OFF THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA, TO THE SECRETARY OF THE U.S. LEGATION AT MADRID, REGARDING THE NEED TO GUARD AMERICAN COMMERCE IN THE ATLANTIC AGAINST MEXICAN PRIVATEERS DURING THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR]

      Porto Praya, Cape Verde. May 31, 1847.. [2]pp. on a folio sheet. Docketed on the bottom of the second page. Old folds. Leaf strengthened with tissue along left edge. A few small closed slits in the sheet, and a chip in the upper right corner, not affecting text. Good. In a folding cloth box, gilt leather label. A very interesting letter from the commander of the United States Navy&#39;s African squadron stationed at Cape Verde, regarding the threat to American shipping from Mexican-hired privateers during the Mexican-American War. Commodore George C. Read writes the secretary of the United States legation in Madrid, assessing the danger posed by English or Spanish privateers, and the U.S. Navy resources available to combat the potential threat. The letter, in a secretarial hand, is signed by George Campbell Read, commander of the U.S.S. United States and of the U.S. Navy&#39;s African Squadron. Read (1788- 1862) had a long and distinguished naval career. He joined the crew of the U.S.S. Constitution in 1806, first serving under the command of his uncle, Capt. Hugh G. Campbell, and then as a lieutenant under Commodore Isaac Hull during the War of 1812. Read also served under Commodore Stephen Decatur when the U.S.S. United States defeated H.M.S. Macedonian. Read rose steadily through the ranks and took command of the Constitution in 1825. After several years at the Philadelphia Naval School he was put in command of the African Squadron from 1846 to 1847, the period in which this letter was written. Read later commanded the Mediterranean Squadron, and was promoted to Rear Admiral in 1862, a month before his death. Read&#39;s letter is in response to a January 31, 1847 letter from J.C. Reynolds, which was addressed to "the officer in command of any armed vessel of the U. States." Reynolds had apparently sent out a message to all the captains of Navy vessels in the Atlantic, warning them that the Mexican government may be trying to hire European privateers to harass and capture American shipping during the Mexican-American War. Read, whose ship was anchored at Cape Verde, off the west coast of Africa, writes in response: "I can readily conceive the danger to which our commerce may be exposed, if the Mexican agent in England & Spain should succeed in persuading the subjects of those nations to fit out privateers. But it seems to me so improbable that men, having no ports into which they could carry their prizes for adjudication, should attempt it. And if their object should be merely to plunder our vessels of such articles as privateers could store, their gains would hardly compensate them for the expense incurred and the risk they may take." Read notes that he has been directed to send the sloop of war Marion to Gibraltar in response to Reynolds&#39; concerns. He writes, however, that "the &#39;Marion&#39; is by no means fit to cruize [sic] for privateers. This vessel has become very foul from the length of time it has been kept on the coast of Africa; but it is the only cruizer [sic] we have on this station that can, with propriety be employed for such service." A very interesting letter from the commander of the U.S. Navy&#39;s African squadron, discussing a little-considered aspect of the Mexican- American War.

        Fuller's computing telegraph. Volvelle plus text & plate (text & plate extensively repaired)

      New York, 1847. Fuller, John Emory (1799-1878). Fuller's computing telegraph [cover title]. Telegraphic computer, a most wonderful and extraordinary instrument, by which business questions, of every possible variety, are instantly performed. . . [text]. Text plus separate double-sided volvelle engraved by George G. Smith, mounted on heavy cardboard, containing "Fuller's Time Telegraph" on one side and "Palmer's Computing Scale" on the other. [22]pp. plus portion of folding lithographed table, entitled "Analytical table of mechanical movements." New York: John E. Fuller, [1847]. Text measures 276 x 276 mm.; volvelle measures 286 x 285 mm. Original cloth, back cover lacking, front cover worn at corners. Volvelle a bit worn at corners and edges, light soiling, but generally in very good condition. Text and plate extensively restored, margins of several leaves chipped with some loss of text, large portion of lithographed plate lacking. Boxed. Fuller's "Time Telegraph" was a circular nonlogarithmic slide rule, designed by Fuller in 1844 and intended for calculating the number of days or weeks between any two given dates. The title reflected the fascination with the new high-speed telegraphic technology, implying high speed in calculation. On the other side is a later, improved edition (Feazel's issue 4) of "Palmer's Computing Scale," the copyright of which had been purchased by Fuller in 1844 or 1845 (Feazel, "Palmer's computing scale," Journal of the Oughtred Society 3: 9-17; see pp. 11-15). This item represents a very early use of the word "computer" for a machine rather than a person. Until the invention of electronic computers in 1945, the term "computer" usually referred to a person who compiled mathematical tables with or without mechanical assistance. Sometimes the term referred to "lightning calculators" who performed remarkably fast computations in their heads. During the first decade of electronic computing, the term was apparently used interchangeably for people and machines. By about 1960 the word was generally applied only to machines.

        [Two Original Drawings, Pencil, and Pencil & Ink: "Atala" and "Chactas Mourning at the Grave of Atala"]

      Paris: The Artist ca.1847. [Paris: The Artist], ca.1847.. Two drawings, 175 x 120 mm and 170 x 125 mm, matted together. Some tanning, otherwise very good or better. Two highly finished drawings executed as illustrations for V. Lecou's 1850 edition of Chateaubriand's OEUVRES COMPLÈTES (5 vols), wherein they were engraved by Charles Geoffrey. The subjects are "Atala," and "Chactas Mourning at the Grave of Atala." The latter is a prime example of the highly romanticized and influential image of the Natchez Indian portrayed in Chateaubriand's fiction, derived from oral tradition among the Seminole. The former, executed in pencil alone, is signed and faintly dated 1847. The second, which features ink highlighting and a trace of white wash, is signed, and bears a red ink paraph. The engravings were then later reproduced in album form. Staal (1817-1882) was a prolific artist and draughtsman, illustrating works by Balzac, Sue, Sainte-Beuve, and Mme de Staël, as well as periodicals and anthologies. His portraits of women, of which the first of these images is an example, were published widely. A label on the verso of the mat assigns provenance to the collection of V. De Seglise.

        Observations on the Temple of Serapis at Pozzuoli near Naples: with, an attempt to explain the causes of the frequent elevation and depression of large portions of the earth's surface in remote periods, and to prove that those causes continue in action at

      [London], privately printed [by Richard & John E.Taylor] 1847.. 42 p., 2 double page lithograph plates, one with hand-colouring, 4-page list of Babbage's works, with bound between text and plates: Abstract of a paper entitled Observations on the Temple of Serapis at Pozzuoli: with remarks on certain causes which may produce geological cycles of great extent, London, Richard Taylor, 1834, inscribed by Babbage at head of first title 'To M. Elie de Beaumont Member of the Institute of France from the Author', with a note in Babbage's hand on blank facing 'With the Abstract added', a 4-line addition by Babbage to the list of his works, stamp on title and at end 'Don de Mr Elie de Beaumont 1875' (recipient not given), original red cloth with large vignette of the ruin in gilt on upper cover, discreet repair to backstrip (not affecting the lettering), a bright and attractive copy. Besides inventing the computer Charles Babbage (1791-1871) threw brilliant shafts of light or cast erratic patches of darkness on many branches of science; both are exemplified in this book. The major part is an important contribution to geology, stemming from a visit he paid to Pozzuoli, the ancient Puteoli (the locale of Petronius' Satyricon) in 1828, while hunting volcanoes. Now known as the Macellum, the 'temple' was actually part of a market in the ancient Puteoli. It contained lavatories and was possibly used for hot baths. The columns of the Macellum, standing in water, with corrosion at a higher level caused by lithophagi (date mussels), had long been known (Oliver Goldsmith, for one, had visited the site). Babbage took exact measurements, and concluded that the 'subsidence of the building was not sudden, or at one period only, but gradual, and by successive movements.' On this he developed a theory of brachyseismic phenomena caused by the movement of isothermal surfaces within the earth, of which he published an abstract in the Proceedings of the Geological Society in 1834: it is an offprint of that paper which Babbage has, apparently uniquely, had bound into this copy. He had communicated his findings and theories to Lyell, who was sufficiently struck by their central importance to geology that he printed a view of Serapis as the frontispiece to the Principles of Geology, 1834. Babbage did not print the full paper until 1847, when he had this attractive little book privately printed, apparently for presents: it is not clear that any were for sale. The 1834 Abstract circulated mainly through the journal publication, and perhaps not many copies of the offprint were produced: certainly it is very rare today. In 1847 Babbage could hardly have had enough to include in all copies of the book (his own copies of the two works in University Library, Cambridge, are bound as nos. 2 and 3 in a tract volume). Why select Elie de Beaumont for this favour? Babbage's friends in the British scientific world already knew this research, but between British and Continental geology there was rivalry, almost a gulf, though personal relations were good (in Darwin's correspondence there is a letter from de Beaumont in 1839 thanking for a gift of the Journal of Researches). Jean-Baptiste Armand Louis Léonce Elie de Beaumont (1798- 1874) is now mostly remembered for his immensely detailed geological map of France, but in 1847 he was the undisputed doyen of the Continental geologists, and his selection as recipient of this unique copy imposed itself. Alas, he never read it: it went by bequest in 1875 to a French provincial library (who have left no marks except the presentation stamp), and its pages remain unopened to this day.I mentioned Babbage's 'patches of darkness'. He had been reading Darwin on coral reefs, and this book ends with a speculation that the lunar craters are coral atolls.

        Valley towards Saltillo, From near the base of "Palace Hill," at Monterey (Looking to the S. West) [No. 3 of a Series]

      New York: G. & W. Endicott, 1847. Tinted lithograph, engraved by C. Parsons after Whiting. Very good condition apart from some overall light soiling and a 1 3/4" loss in the lower left corner of the sheet. Trimmed on all sides. 14 1/8 x 19 inches. 15 1/4 x 20 inches. From Whiting's "Army Portfolio," a very scarce series of Mexican War views, which is not only one of the primary visual records of the conflict, but also a fine topographical work that accurately recorded the area at a crucial turning point in its history. "The rarest lithographs of the war" (Tyler). According to Whiting family tradition, the work was limited to no more than 24 sets (quoted by Goodspeed's of Boston: "The Month at Goodspeed's Book Shop" vol. XXI, nos. 2-3, Nov-Dec. 1959, p. 43). In late 1845, General Taylor's army was camped at Corpus Christi, Texas. In January 1846, they advanced to the United States side of the Rio Grande, where they remained until May, and then marched on to the strongly fortified city of Monterey, which was taken in September. Whiting's work documents this campaign. Although he originally intended to continue the series beyond five plates, the original drawings for the additional plates were lost aboard a steamboat that sank in the Mississippi. Daniel Powers Whiting was born in Troy, New York, and graduated in 1832 from the U.S. Military Academy, where he received formal training as a topographical artist. He was assigned to the 7th U.S. Infantry, with which he served in various garrisons before being promoted to captain in the spring of 1845. During the Mexican War, he served in the army of General Zachary Taylor and was made major "for gallant and meritorious conduct" in the battles of Fort Brown, Monterey, Vera Cruz, and Cerro Gordo. After the war, he fought the Seminoles, joined the Utah expedition of 1859, served in various garrisons in Missouri and Kansas, and completed frontier duty in the Indian Territory. During the Civil War, he commanded at Fort Garland, Colorado (1861-1862), was a member of the Board of Examination at Annapolis (1862-1863), and commanded at Fort Mifflin, Pennsylvania (1864). At the time of his retirement for "disability resulting from long and faithful service," he was Lieutenant-Colonel of the 6th Infantry. Cf. America on Stone, p. 175; cf. Eberstadt 162, 910; cf. Streeter Sale 275; cf. Tyler, The Mexican War, pp. 24-45.

        Plate 7. Cymindis Wilsonii, Cassin (Cuban Kite) From The Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences

      Philadelphia: The Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, 1847. First edition Fine with original hand-coloring A Fine original hand-colored lithograph. Folio (9.25 x 13 inches, 235 x 330 mm). The Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia was established by the learned naturalists of high Philadelphian society in early 19th century America to document the recent natural discoveries of a new nation. The founding members, and contributors, were the luminaries of early American natural history and sciences; Titian Peale, Thomas Say and George Ord, to name a few. The Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences was their clarion, and was illustrated with wonderful folio-sized hand-colored lithographs by J.T. Bowen and Co. in Philadelphia, America&#39;s premier lithographers of the mid-19th century, and the very same company to produce John James Audubon&#39;s landmark lithographs for the first seven Royal Octavo editions of the Birds of America (c. 1840-65) and both the Imperial Folio and Royal Octavo editions of the Quadrupeds of North America. (c.1840-54). In essence, the same artists and printers who produced Audubon masterful lithographs created this work. We classify these fabulous plates as one of the best unsung values in the art of 19th century ornithology.

Further, in 1832, he was elected a member of the state legislature. 1833 saw his appointment as Attorney-general, and in October that year, President Judge of the 8th Judicial district. In January, 1843, he was made president judge of the 2d district, in 1851 he was elected a justice of the State Supreme Court, and in 1854-7 was Chief Justice.
