Al Privilegio dell' Immacolate Concezione di Maria Santissima. Sia Resa in Terra la Maggior Gloria Possible.
Rome 1850
First edition. A broadside about the Association of Prayers. Undated, but Circa 1850. Printed in Italian. Presumed 1st edition - no printing details given. Excellent condition. A touch of handling to the edges only. Single sheet folded. Unpaginated - 4pp. 195 x 130 mm (7Ÿ x 5 inches).
A Full View of the Roman Catholic Question.
London: J.J. Stockdale, 1813
An Anti-Catholic pamphlet, printed by J.J. Stockdale. An examination of the Claims of Roman Catholics, particularly those in Ireland, and concluding that "Too much is already conceded to the Papists." The initials W.L.J. appear in ink to the top of the title page. There are some annotations in ink throughout the text. These are in a contemporary hand, and appear to be proofing corrections - changing the grammar, correcting errors, and altering some footnotes. Perhaps this copy was being prepared for a second publication? If so, it came to nothing, as Copac cites only two holdings of this issue, with no others cited.Good clean, but with no wrappers (if any). This was once part of a larger work, and has been removed from this - but was published alone (with price, printers details and colophon here). There is a touch of darkening to the outside pages. Internally clean, with the annotations as described above. This work was published anonymously, and there is no reference on Copac or in bibliographies of anonymous literature to any author. However, the name Richard Mence Esq. is written in a contemporary hand alongside the stated "Country Gentleman" This would certainly fit well. Richard Mence was a Barrister, at Middle Temple, who went on to write about the Law of Libel. He was active in writing at this time, and his dedication in the Law of Libel, was to those who oppose "Disloyal and Seditious Principles" These almost certainly included Catholic Emancipation. With his awareness of Libel laws, he was perhaps wise to remain anonymous! 49 [i]. pp

Livre relié en toile bleue avec décoration et titres dorés au dos. Limité à 500 exemplaires. La jaquette présente une perte en haut et en bas du dos, ainsi qu'un assombrissement modéré.

A Chinese night soil collector.
China No Publisher C1890 Une jolie aquarelle à la gouache sur papier, portant le cachet de l'artiste en bas à droite de la feuille. Il semble s'agir d'un artiste reproduisant l'uvre de Zhou Pei Qun, dont l'aquarelle de la collection Wellcome présente de grandes similitudes. On note toutefois des différences notables. Bien que l'image et la posture soient identiques, notre peinture est légèrement plus grande. Elle témoigne d'un niveau de maîtrise technique tout aussi élevé. De légères différences au niveau du pantalon, des chaussures et du visage montrent qu'il s'agit d'une uvre sensiblement différente. L'étiquette de l'exemplaire de la collection Wellcome indique en chinois : « Ramasseur de fumier, va de maison en maison tôt le matin ; porte une lanterne dans la main gauche. » Une autre description, tirée de l'« Illustrated Guide to Beijing Customs » de Michio Uchida, indique : « Il était courant de voir un homme ramasser le fumier de cheval et de vache et le jeter dans un seau qu'il portait sur le dos. » La coloration est excellente, et le papier ne présente que quelques légères traces / traces de noircissement. Joliment encadrée sous verre derrière un passe-partout aux bords dorés profonds et dans un cadre laqué foncé. Le cadre présente quelques traces d'usure, mais est globalement en excellent état. La feuille exposée mesure 34 cm x 22 cm. Le cadre mesure 49 cm x 39 cm. Collection Wellcome 571517i.
An attractive water colour with gouache on paper with an artist's seal to the bottom right of the sheet. This appears to be an artist copying the work of Zhou, Pei Qun, whose water colour in the Wellcome collection is very similar. There are significant differences though. Although the image and stance are the same, our painting is somewhat larger. It is of a similar very high standard of craftsmanship. There are slight differences to the trousers, shoes and face that show it to be substantially different. The label on the example in the Wellcome collection states in Chinese "Scavenger of night-soil, goes from house to house early in the morning; carries lantern in left hand." An alternative narrative, as stated in Michio Uchida's "Illustrated Guide to Beijing Customs", "It was a common sight to see a man scooping up horse and cow dung and throwing it into a bucket on his back." This was then sold on as fertiliser. The colouring is excellent, and the paper is only a little marked / darkened. Attractively framed under glass behind a deep gilt edges passe partout and in a dark lacquered frame. There is a touch of handling to the frame, but overall in excellent condition. The sheet exposed is 34cm x 22cm. The frame is 49cm x 39cm. Wellcome Collection 571517i. .

Paris Claude Robustel / Chez Hippolyte-Louis Guerin 1740 Nouvelle édition. Il s'agit d'une édition dévotionnelle de L'Imitation de Jésus-Christ, traduite en français par le jésuite Jean Crasset de Gonnelieu, publiée avec des ajouts pratiques destinés aux laïcs et au clergé dans la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle. Il s'agit d'une traduction de l'uvre originale, un classique dévotionnel latin médiéval, généralement attribué à Thomas à Kempis. La combinaison du texte de von Kempis, des « pratiques » méthodiques et de l'ordinaire de la messe bilingue en fait un manuel compact de piété catholique, adapté à la fois à l'utilisation en retraite et à la dévotion quotidienne des laïcs dans la France du XVIIIe siècle. Reliure en cuir pleine peau, avec nerfs et décorations dorées sur le dos. Le titre doré est usé mais reste légèrement visible. Les coins des plats sont frottés et le plat avant est légèrement bombé. À l'intérieur, le livre est en très bon état compte tenu de son âge. Conforme au numéro WorldCat / OCLC : 20539224. Collation. xxxvi, 574 pages. 17 x 10 cm. Il s'agit de la plus ancienne copie de la version de Gonelieu que nous ayons pu trouver.
New edition. This is a devotional edition of L'Imitation de Jésus-Christ, in a Jesuit French translation by Jean Crasset de Gonnelieu, issued with added practical material for lay and clerical use in the first half of the 18th century. This is a translation of the original work, a Medieval Latin devotional classic, generally attributed to Thomas à Kempis. This combination of à Kempis's text, methodical "pratiques", and the bilingual Mass Ordinary made this a compact manual of Catholic piety, suitable both for retreat use and for everyday lay devotion in 18th century France. In full leather binding, with raised bands and gilt decoration to spine. Gilt title has worn away but is faintly visible. Boards are rubbed to corners and front board has a slight bow. Internally, the book is very clean for its age. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC Number: 20539224. Collation. xxxvi, 574 pages. 17 x 10 cm. This is the earliest copy of Gonelieu's version that we have been able to find. .

Il y a un léger pli sur les couvertures (et sur le catalogue lui-même, où il a été clairement plié et mis dans une pochette). Agrafé, la couverture commence à se séparer mais tient encore bien.

Il était membre du groupe de Puteaux, une ramification orphiste du cubisme dirigée par Jacques Villon. Son uvre la plus célèbre est La conquête de l'air, 1913, qui les représente, lui et son frère, en plein air, avec un ballon à l'arrière-plan. Il a contracté la tuberculose pendant son service militaire et a été malade à partir de 1918.
A copy of this rare gallery catalogue. First edition. No copies available at the time of cataloguing. Soft blue covers, with a little fading to the corners and edges. There is a light crease to the covers (and indeed, the catalogue itself, where it was clearly folded and put into a pocket. Stapled with the cover starting to separate but still holding well.

The catalogue lists 63 items available (by date and name). There is a second illustration of "nature morte." 13 pages plus plates. 18cm x 15cm. Roger de Fresnaye (1885-1924) was a French artist and sculptor linked to the Cubist movement. He was influenced by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, but his work has a more decorative than structural feel and his prismatic colours reflect the influence of Robert Delaunay. He was a member of the Puteaux Group, an orphist offshoot of cubism led by Jacques Villon. His most famous work is The Conquest of the Air, 1913, which depicts himself and his brother outdoors with a balloon in the background. He contracted tuberculosis during his military service, and was ill from 1918 onwards. ,

Abbaye de Maredsous Albumen photographs
Anhée Wallonia, Belgium Abbaye de Maradsous 1885
First edition. Complete. A collection of 20 large albumen photographs laid onto backing card with description of each printed to the bottom edge, showing the Abbaye de Maredsous and the Ecole Abbataile. These are held in a red clamshell box with black and gilt decoration, crest and titles. The box has significant fading / spotting from damp, but is still holding well, and has done its job of protecting the photographs inside. The photographs are of high quality, and show the building of the abbey and the new school there. They are dated by the fact that the school was founded in 1881 (earliest date) and that the the Abbey was completed in 1892, but in these images is still some way off completion. Interesting architectural prints, but also of the students and staff at the school, both being educated and relaxing. A very nice collection. Images are mostly 17cm x 24cm and backing cards are 25cm x 32cm. Box is 35cm x 27cm.
