AGRICOLA, Georgius : Vom Berghwerck xii. Bücher dariñ alle Empter / Instrument / Bezeuge unnd alles zü disem handel gehörig [...].

Basel: Jeronymus Froben & Niclausen Bischoff, 1557. Folio in-6 / [viii], 491, [xiii] pp. In 19th century half calf with marbled boards, a leather title ticket and gilt decoration to the spine. Illustrated with 273 woodcuts in the text and 2 woodcut plates, further decorated with a printer’s mark to the title page and the final page, and decorated initials. This copy with cropped margins, and scattered marginal annotations in ink. Pages lxxviii & lxxix were stuck together (now loose, damaging the page and illustration a little), a stain to the illustrations on page xxxvi-xxxvii. A quite crisp and clean copy in very good condition. The later spine faded. First German edition of Agricola´s famous work on metallurgy (original title: De re metallica libri xii [12 books on the nature of metals], 1556). Georgius Agricola (=Georg Pawer, 1494-1555) was born in Glauchau. His interest in mining began during his studies of medicine, physics and chemistry, but became poignant during his appointment as physician in Joachimsthal, a centre of mining and smelting works. Here, he decided to test theories on metallurgy and mineralogy. Later he moved from Joachimsthal to Chemnitz, the epicentre of the German mining industry, where he could intensify and freely pursue his studies into the art of mining. The book is a systematic treatise on state of the art of mining, detailing the extraction and processing of metal ore. Agricola also gives information on how to identify ore veins in the ground and describes prospecting and surveying in great detail. The woodcut illustrations show numerous uses of the watermills and winches in mining, among many other technical details. The rear of the book contains a list of terminology in German with their Latin translations. This work, building on Pliny´s Historia Naturalis, has long remained a standard work in the field of metallurgy. An English translation was published in 1912, by Herbert Hoover, who would later become the 31st president of the USA. *P.M.M. 79 / Hoover 18 / Ward & Carozzi 31 / Dibner 88.

AGRICOLA / HOOVER, Herbert Clark & Lou Henry : De re metallica Translated from the First Latin Edition of 1556 with Biographical Introduction, Annotations and Appendices upon de Development of Mining Methods, Metallurgical Processes, Geology, Mineralogy & Mining Law from the earliest times to the 16th century.

London: The Mining Magazine, 1912. First English ed. Folio in-8 / [iv], xxxi, [i], 640, [ii] pp. In original modern vellum with titling and decoration in black to the spine, in a clear mylar protective jacket. Illustrated with reproductions of all the woodcuts from the first edition, including the two plates (one of which folding).

Probably printed in an edition of ca. 1500 copies, this copy bears a stamped number 00217 on the title page. Although Hoover himself claimed 3000 copies were printed, Cyril Stanley Smith, in his catalogue of the Hoover collection (De re metallica: The Herbert Clark Hoover collection of mining & metallurgy), cites a total of 1476 copies. In very good condition: rear inner hinge with a tear near the head, cover a little soiled, small damage to the tail of the spine, scattered smudges in the page margins. All in all a clean and fresh copy of De re metallica’s first English edition COPY WITH A SIGNED TYPOSCRIPT LETTER BY HOOVER. Hoover, who would later become the 31st president of the USA, was a mining engineer before he entered politics. The translation was mainly written by Mrs. Lou Henry Hoover, Herbert’s wife, who was a former Latin teacher. This copy is unique in the sense that it contains a signed

typescript letter by Hoover to Mr. Walter Gardner, dated July 12, 1920.

The Hoovers added a preface, introduction (containing biography, general background to the work, introduction to the work) and appendices (A: Agricola’s Works, with bibliography; B: Ancient authors, a bibliography of works by earlier authors; C: weights and measures, comparison tables of the old and modern units of measure) and indices.*Hoover 28. - € 750, 3.

First Dutch edition of one of the oldest handbooks for the artist. Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the Northern Renaissance ever.

[Dance] - ARENA, Antoine de [=SABLÉ, Antoine de la]. : Antonius de Arena Provençalis, de Bragardissima Villa de Soleriis. Ad suos compagnones studiantes, qui sunt de persona friantes, bassas Dansas & Branlos practicantes.

[N.pl., Rothomago? =Rouen]: Stampatus in Stampatura Stampatorum, 1670. 8vo. 192 pp.

Later half morocco with marbled boards. titling and decoration in black to the spine, a heraldic device (bearing the name “L. Bouland”) adorns the front cover. The pages of this book were once entirely loose, every page is now mounted to the cut-out centre of a page of a newly created bookblock. No text was lost in this process. However, many of the pages are a little stained and browned. The edges and extremities rubbed.*”Edition la plus complète que l'on ait de ce recueil.” Brunet I, 393.

A curious collection of Macaronic poetry, many of which provide detailed descriptions of early 16th C. dances. Of particular interest to historians of dance are the poems “Introductorium ad bassas dansas”, “Consilium pro Dansatoribus”, “Modus de choreando benè”, & “Admonition ad Dansantes”. Another 4-page section, “autres basses danses qui ne sont pas communes”, gives the actual order of steps and movements for the dances described. The opening phrase of a related song is followed by strings of instructions: “R c ss d r d ss [etc.]”. Each of

these letters signifies a certain step or gesture. Very few such precise details remain from this period. The second part of the volume contains poems, in macaronics, in Italian and the patois of Bergamo. Macaronics are a form of burlesque poetry in which modern words with Latin endings are used to create an absurd effect. - € 850,10. PASCAL, Blaise : Pensées de M. Pascal sur la Religion et sur quelques autres sujets qui ont esté trouvées aprés sa mort parmy ses papiers.

Paris: Guillaume Desprez, 1670, 2nd ed. 12mo. [lxxii], 365, [xxiii] pp. Modern vellum. In good condition, the pages somewhat grubby and with sometimes ragged edges, the occasional small tear, but without damage to the text.

Both Brunet and Graesse give a 1670 edition with 365 pages of main text as the second edition of the Pensées. Tchemerzine delves a little deeper into the matter, acknowledging two contrefaçon (pirated) editions. The present edition is not the first pirated edition, as that edition supposedly has errors in pagination which do not occur in this edition. However, we think the present is not the second pirated edition either. Tchemerzine remarks: "Une autre contrafaçon sous la même date [1670], avec collation identique, a un titre un peu différent. Le monogramme de G. Desprez y est remplacé par le fleuron des Provinciales, éd. in-4 de 1657 [Tchemerzine V 62]." Although the title page of our edition does not bear the monogramme of Desprez, neither does it bear the fleuron of the mentioned edition (although another fleuron is present). Curiously, also, the privilege is dated "le 2. Ianvier 1679", which is odd at least, for an edition supposedly published in 1670. Also, the privilege (with corrections on the verso) is in the rear of the book as opposed to the front. *Tchemerzine 1977, V 71, *Brunet IV 398; *Graesse V 146. - € 1.450,11. DESCARTES, Renati : Opera Philosophiae ultima editio cum optima collata, diligenter recognita, & mendis expurgata.

Amstelodami: Danielem Elsevirium, 1677-78. 3 parts in 1 volume, small 4to. [xl], 222, [xvi], 248, [xxiv], 92, [iv] pp. With a wood engraved portrait of Descartes as frontispiece, woodcut printer’s mark (rept. thrice) and numerous (part full-page) woodcut text ills. In contemporary vellum with overlapping edges, the title in ms. to the spine. This selection from the Works of Descartes contains: Principia philosophiæ; Dissertatio de Methodo; Passiones Animae & Meditationes de prima philosophia. Ref: *Willems 1350; *Berghman 376; *Rahir 1660; *Copinger 1372. With an old owner’s entry of Philippus Gualterus Tuynslijper on the first free endpaper and on the title (the latter dated 1680); a later library stamp of the Conventus S.S. Trinitatis Overveen on the half title. The preliminary leaves of the third part slightly waterstained in the blank foredge margin. Nevertheless a fine copy with the often lacking portrait. - € 1.500,12. [Africa] - DAPPER, Olfert : Naukeurige Beschryving van Asie: behelsende de gewesten van Mesopotamie, Babylonie, Assyrie, Anatolie, of Klein Asie: beneffens eene volkome beschrijving van gansch gelukkigh, woest, en petreesch of steenigh Arabie.

Amsterdam, Jacob van Meurs, 1680. [First edition]. Two parts in one volume. Folio.

[6],357,[3]; 324,[4] pp .

Contemporary calf, spine ribbed with red morocco title-label. With engraved frontispiece, title printed in red and black, 3 double-page engraved maps, 12 doublepage/folding engraved views + one double-page extra plate of the plants Avelmosch, Semsem, and Sambak; 22 half-page engravings in text.

The first and only edition of this description of the Middle East. Olfert Dapper (1639-89) was a Dutch physician and indefatigable scholar and compiler of travel accounts.

Though he apparently never left

Amsterdam, Dapper produced several finely illustrated volumes describing travels in Asia, Asia Minor, the Middle East, and Africa. The first part is devoted to the ancient kingdoms of Mesopotamia, Assyria, Babylonia and Anatolia. The second part is entirely devoted to Arabia and includes a big part on the Islam, the prophet Muhamed, the Quran, and the different religious streams and sects within the Islam.

It also was the first Dutch work to deal exclusively with Arabia. This book gives many details on the geography, flora, fauna, country and the inhabitants of Arabia. The book has some fine engravings from the hand of Ch. Vasteau and K. Decker. The growing of coffee is also described and is nicely illustrated with a fine engraving of a coffee tree with in the background Arabs drinking coffee. - Tiele 300.

A very good copy, binding slightly rubbed on places. With extra plate not called for in 'List of Plates' or Tiele. - € 5.000,13. ALBINUS, Bernardi Siegfried [=WEISSENLÖW, Weiss von] : Historia Musculorum Hominis.

Leidae Batavorum [=Leiden]: Theodorum Haak & Henricum Mulhovium, 1734. First edition. 4to. 696 pp. With 4 double-page engraved anatomical plates of the muscles in the hand drawn and engraved by Jan Wandelaar. Later half vellum with marbled boards, the title in ms. to the spine.

"The plates contained in this work were drawn and engraved by Wandelaer, as we learn from Albinus' preface. The plates themselves do not bear his name.

They represent the hand of a man of particularly beautiful build, in life-size, with all the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones.

There are four finished plates, each one accompanied by an outlineplate upon which the reference letters are engraved. Both the drawing and the engraving are done most excellently" # Choulant, History and Bibliography of Anatomic Illustration , p. 280. This copy with some interesting ms. annotations in the contents. A fair copy, library ticket to the spine, spine discoloured, the spine ends lightly damaged, the boards scuffed, board edges worn. Several old ownership entries on the ffeps. Bookblock tight, but with several quite browned pages and marginal foxing. - € 1100,14.

Slightly rubbed on lower edges of sides and top spine of one volume slightly damaged. A fine set of this rare edition. - € 2.000,15. ALBINUS, Bernardi Siegfried [=WEISSENLÖW, Weiss von] : Tabulae sceleti et musculorum corporis humani & Tabulae ossium humanorum & Tabula vasis chyliferi explanatio & Tabulae VII uteri mulieris gravidae.

Lugduni Batavorum [=Leiden]: Joannem & Hermannum Verbeek, 1747/1757. 2 vols. Large (ca. 70 cm. tall) folio. [iv], [117 plates]; [xcii] pp. In modern half vellum with marbled boards, parts of the original spine retained. The plate volume contains the complete set of 117 plates as engraved by J. Wandelaar for the Albinus editions, (including the two engraved text pages of “Ossium humanorum”). The text corresponds with Sceleti et musculorum.

The 8 plates for Uteri mulieris were issued without separate text sheets. Rather, the text is engraved on the plates.

The atlas volume, quite literally showing each and every bone and muscle in the human body, contains both the plates for Tabulae Sceleti et Musculorum and the Tabulae Ossium (with its two appendages - Vasis

Chyliferi and Uteri mulieris). Tabulae Ossium is “a continuation of the 'Tabulae sceleti' and contains life-seized representations of all the different bones of the adult human being"(Choulant-Frank 281). The plates were drawn and angraved by Jan Wandelaer, a pupil of Jacob Fokema and Guillem van der Gouwen, as well as the painter Gerard de Lairesse (who was responsible for the drawings for Bidloo’s atlas). Before his work for Albinus, Wandelaer worked for Friedrich Ruysch. Albinus, however, created an opportunity for Wandelaer to fully express his drawing and engraving talents. Wandelaer worked with Albinus from 1721 until Wanderlaer´s death in 1754, after which Albinus is said to have gone through a period of severe despondency and depression. These plates are the result of an exceptional collaboration between the physician and the artist. Norman 29: “among the most artistically perfect of anatomical atlases ... Wandelaar placed his skeletons and musclemen against lush ornamental backgrounds to give them the illusion of vitality, using contrasts of mass and light to produce a three-dimensiol effect. The most famous plate in the atlas depicts a skeletal figure standing in front of an enormous grazing rhinoceros, sketched by Wandelaar from the first living specimen in Europe, which had arrived at Amsterdam zoo in 1741”. While Tabulae sceleti et musculorum is seen as Albinus’ magnum opus, the additional material in this collection offers a wealth of similar material, all engraved to the same high standard as Sceleti et musculorum. *Graesse I, 58 *Brunet I, 143 *Choulant-Frank 276-283 *Wellcome II 26 * An excellent, clean and bright copy. The title restored (with loss of lettering of the author’s name), the first few plates (titles etc.) a bit grubby, and some scattered light foxing. - € 17.000,16.

The tailpiece vignettes are of varying nature (one scene depicts a hanged man, another a graveyard, yet others depict the facets of country life), but without exception finely engraved and full of life and charm.

Bewick’s first work, “A General History of Quadrupeds” was the first

important book to be illustrated with wood engravings. Bewick’s Quadrupeds and British Birds were of great importance to the resurgence of wood engraving as an illustrative technique, as well as a landmark in British natural history publishing. - € 300,27.

Frontispiece lacking (reproduced in H.Turner, p. 100). Orig. boards with red roan spine, title in gold on spine.

Bound without errata but with 16pp. earliest state adverts (May 1848). In original green publisher’s cloth with blind decorated borders and lyre design. Light yellow end papers.

The second issue as described in Smith p. 6-14. This is a copy of the first edition published by Smith, Elder & Co., the advert. being still one leaf with the (cancel)title page. As soon as one realized the discrepancy between the advertisement and the date on the title page, the advertisement has been severed from the title page and pasted at the end (Smith p. 13). Containing the catalogue dated May 1848 (the earliest), but, as often, lacking the errata slip. This means that this copy is one of the 279 copies sold between 1848

and 1853. The fact that this is a very early copy is further enhanced by the lack of Westley’s binder’s ticket, which appeared from 1850 on. A very good clean copy in original binding, missing only a small fragment of the top of the spine and a small tear (hardly visible) halfway the spine. *Smith p. 6-14.

70. PESSOA, Fernando : English Poems I-II; III. I – Antinous, II – Inscriptions; III - Epithalamium.

Lisbon, Olisipo [= the author], 1921. 2 vols., 20 & 16 pp., original wrappers. First edition.

Two of only five volumes published by Pessoa during his lifetime.

‘English Poems I-II’ contains the first edition of ‘Inscriptions’, a collection dated 1920 of short epigraphs, inspired by Roman tombstones, as well as the second revised edition of the long poem ‘Antinous’, a poem with a homosexual theme (the relationship between Antinous and the Emperor Hadrian) which appeared for the first time in 1918. Preceding 'Antinous' is a note which reads: "An early and very imperfect draft of Antinous was published in 1918. The present one is meant to annul and supersede that, from which it is essentially different." In fact, although Pessoa rewrote parts of the poem, simplifying the language, the basic structure and contents remained unaltered. ‘Antinous’ was clearly very important to Pessoa as he revised it and published it a second time. At some time Pessoa himself described ‘Antinous’ and the poem 'Epithalamium’ as 'obscene’. Although tame enough by today's

standards, ‘Antinous’, with its references to the physical relations between Antinous and the Emperor, went beyond contemporary English poems on the subject which concentrated on the spiritual and symbolic aspects of the relationship. It is interesting to note that in a type of literature where pseudonyms were commonly used Pessoa chose to publish under his own name, although the heteronyms existed by this time. ‘English Poems III’ contains the 'Epithalamium', a poem dated 1913 about the musings of a bride on the morning of her wedding.

Pessoa later stated that 'Antinous' and 'Epithalamium' were to form part of a cycle of five poems on the various aspects of love, but so far no trace of the other three has been found.

Both volumes of the ‘English Poems’ were printed at the Printing Office of the Annuario Commercial, 24 Restauradores, Lisbon, and were published by Olisipo, Apartado 145, Lisbon. On the back cover of each volume is the price 'One and sixpence net', so it seems that Pessoa intended to put them on sale in Britain, although there is no evidence that this in fact happened. Olisipo was Pessoa's own publishing house and the ‘English Poems’ was its first publication.

Asger Jorn (1914-1973) was the central figure in the Cobra movement around 1948. From May to November 1951 he was hospitalized in the Silkeborg Sanatorium where he was confined to bed with pulmonary tuberculosis. During his stay there he wrote this treatise on aesthetics (‘Risk and Change’) and had it printed by himself (in co-operation with the hospital’s typographer Johs. Gregeren) on a small hand-press, a fact which calls for the numerous typographical irregularities (as the colophon states ‘handtrykt pa en korrekturpresse, hvilken udforelse forklarer de mange unregelmaessigheder’).

The printing represents arguably the most luscious gravure ever seen, the blacks being so rich and deep that after handling the book one expects to find sooty deposits all over one’s fingers. The gradation of tones is wonderfully subtle, describing an apparently infinite range of black and near-black tones. . . one should think of it as among the best produced and influential photobooks ever.

“Mr. Cartier-Bresson came to Jaipur, accompanied by his talented wife, on the auspicious occasion of the marriage of Princess Premkumari Sahiba in August, 1948 and revisited the palace in the same month when he stayed for over a fortnight. He developed a liking for Jaipur and its colourful scenes and took a large number of photographs for some foreign journals. The photographs were attractive and presented an artistic picture of Jaipur. We, therefore, requested him to allow us to issue some of these in an album. He readily agreed to the suggestion, and also persuaded his friend, Mr. Max J. Olivier, representative of the French News Agency in India and the President of the Foreign Journalists Association of New Delhi, to write a pen-picture of Jaipur which forms an introduction the album. Mr. Max Olivier also contributed captions to go with the photographs. The photographs and the text have been incorporated here in their original form and provide an interesting picture of modern Jaipur as seen by two distinguished Frenchmen. . . We are glad that we are now able to present to our readers this album which represents the joint work of Mr. Cartier-Bresson and Mr. Max Olivier”. Wrappers strengthened at some weak spots.

The death of the bull, when the iron penetrates into the nuptial ring, is that of the black ambassador of the white lady, who once again is defrauded of her mysterious wedding with the man who wishes it and dreads it. The funeral quadriga carries off this ambassador with his bouquet of banderillas, whilst the bridegroom remains alone on the place of the sacrifice. That is why he wears mourning in the garb of satin and gold. (-Jean Cocteau). Parr, The Photobook, vol 1, p. 219. Slipcase shows some minor wear. - € 600,143. DAVIDSON, Bruce : Brooklyn gang.

Santa Fe: Twin Palms. 1998. 98 pp. Cloth in dust-jacket. Printed in an edition of 4000.

During the summer of 1959, Bruce Davidson followed a loosely knit “gang” of teenagers around Brooklyn, New York. His camera captured these children of the James Dean generation in both private and public moments at the soda fountain, the tattoo parlor, Coney Island, and latenight basement dance parties. The beautiful adolescents that fill the pages of this book exude a cool sensuality which came by way of the young Brando and Dean, and travelled from American shores around the world. Davidson has created an exquisite photographic elegy for a time when, in retrospect, we all seemed young. - € 400,144. DOISNEAU, Robert & GREGOR, Arthur : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

William Eggleston’s Guide was the first one-man show of colour photographs ever presented at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Museum’s first publication of colour photography.

Published in 1965, it was the product of 10 years work. It went on to become one of the most important photo books of the sixties. Made up of eighty-two black-and-white photos and quotes, it shows Heath's dark and poetic vision of existence: "Photography is like making diary notes, that are inspired by my involvement in life," he has said. "The sequence of my photos create a poetic structure, a connecting link, that does not develop in chronological order or is narrative in structure like a visual story, but is emotional in development. When one image is connected to another, it creates a feeling that has a greater effect than each image alone."

New York: J. J. Augustin. 1945. Cloth in dust jacket. 148 pp.

Photographs by André Kertész. Edited by George Davis. Jacket designed by Alexey Brodovitch. Book designed by Peter Pollack.

Taken during the 20s and 30s, but not appearing until the end of World War II, the images have a wistfulness that make them some of his most appealing. In Roth, et. al., The Book of 101 Books, Vince Aletti writes,

"Though Day of Paris is full of cityscapes.... the photographer is always alert to the human heart of the city, and even his pictures of figures passing on the street are engaging." As Parr and Badger explain, "In the end, Day of Paris, despite the presence of the radical Brodovitch, is deeply nostalgic in tone. In the uncertain days following the war nostalgia for pre-war Paris was both inevitable, and probably an important part of the healing process."

A true classic containing some of Kertész'most famous photos! Cf. Roth .

While Kitajima"s black and white photographs of Tokyoites have a decidedly Provoke sensibility, his colour images signal a move away from Provoke towards a more Punk worldview.

“In various different projects he has photographed the imprisoned of this world. And in the universe of Anders Petersen imprisonment in life has many shapes and forms. There are regular inmates in prisons, but there are also the patients of institutions. While the most rudimentary imprisonment of all is self-imprisonment. Locked inside one’s body.

Filled with fear for the life one never attains. Photographing such states requires something special. “ -From the introduction by Ingrid Fischer Jonge.

München, Transmare Verlag /Kurt Wolff Verlag, 1929. In yellow cloth, in original cardboard slipcase.

First edition of one of the rarest photobooks of the century, August Sander’s magnum opus. “One of the great documentary works of all time, Antlitz der Zeit (Face of Our Time), is an affecting collective portrait of Germany during the Weimar Republic, on the way to the Third Reich.” Considered “a crowning achievement of photography in this century, ” Sander’s rare 1929 monograph “has influenced many photographers in the years since…” In an essay published in 1931, Walker Evans compared Sander to the French photographer Eugene Atget, and described his approach as ‘one of the futures of photography’… The simple act of showing things as they are, Sander demonstrated, can reveal meaning with a striking clarity, and even beauty” (New York Times). From 1910 to the 1950s, Sander made over 500 portraits of Germans from all professions and classes, but was unable to complete his planned masterwork, publishing only a select number here in 1929. “When his portraits were first shown in 1927…

Sander was hailed as the ‘Balzac of the lens. ’… It would be difficult to overestimate the influence of this work on later photography, documentary or otherwise, in Germany and elsewhere” (Roth, 52).

Sander’s “magnum opus… is not just penetrating, but was seen as positively dangerous, a little too acute in its analysis of society and class… This is made clear by the fact that when the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, publisher’s copies of Antlitz der Zeit were seized, the plates destroyed, and the negatives confiscated by Hitler’s Ministry of Culture” (Parr & Badger I:124). Mint copy, without the utmost rare dust-jacket, but with the original cardboard slipcase mentioning in black lettering ‘sander : antlitz der zeit”. - € 3.000,158.

Sanne Sannes (1937-1967) appeared out of the blue as Holland’s photographer of female eroticism, only to disappear in the same manner.

He had no predecessors to speak of, and certainly left no heirs in his wake. (…). In Sannes’ fantasy the woman is in command, she decides what happens, what she gives and what she doesn’t. (…). He was the author of many more plans for films and books than he actually produced. The only projects to materialise during his lifetime was the book: “ Oog om oog (An eye for an eye)” and the bowdlerised version of the film Dirty girl, which was relayed by VPRO television after the sadistic passages had been suppressed”. A book-adaption from the film dirty girl, titled ‘Sex a gogo’ was not published before 1969, two years after he died in a car-crash.

Printed in a limited edition of 1500 copies, each copy was hand numbered on a bookplate affixed to the inside of the lid of the box. Each volume in wrappers, in fine condition. The paper covering the set of books with tears, otherwise fine.

The books here reprinted, were originally printed in a small print runs (1000 copies), and were (in the editor’s words): "an artistic and philosophic manifesto, reacting to the upheavals of the late sixties. The participating photographers, among them Daido Moriyama searched for a radically new photographic language, as is reflected in the title of their books: titles like Moriyama's Bye, Bye Photography Dear, and Nakahira's For a Language to Come; publications that were turning points in postwar Japanese photography.” - € 900,160.
