Peters, Harry T. Currier & Ives: Printmakers to the American People
New York Doubleday 1942 First Edition Hardcover Very Good/No Jacket Illustrated
Quarto, 192 pp., Nice clean crisp book. Gilt lettered and decorated cover and spine. Old name in ink. Currier & Ives was a printmaking firm headed by Nathaniel Currier (1813–1888) & James Merritt Ives (1824–1895). Currier first worked as a printmaker in the firm of Stodart & Currier, and then later as N. Currier (1835-1856).Newspapers did not have pictures. Therefore, the public was interested in some source for pictures of recent newsworthy events. In 1840, he produced "Awful Conflagration of the Steamboat Lexington in Long Island Sound by which over One Hundred Persons Perished". The print was very successful, and Currier soon had a weekly insert in the New York Sun. In 1852, Ives started working as the accountant for the firm and also streamlined the print production process. In 1857, Ives became a partner in the firm. Currier and Ives described itself as "Publishers of Cheap and Popular Pictures". Their pictures were hugely popular; from 1835 to 1907 they produced over a million prints by a process of hand-colored lithography. A staff of artists produced the lithographs. The colors were applied in an assembly-line style of operation, typically by German immigrant girls, each of whom added a single color to the print. The prints depicted a variety of scenes in American life, including winter scenes, horse racing, portraits, ships, sporting events, and ferocious battle scenes from the Civil War. Currier died in 1888. Ives remained active in the firm until his death in 1895. Due to improvements in offset printing and photo engraving, the public demand for lithographs gradually diminished. Currier & Ives closed in 1907.

Piranesi, Giovanni Battista Giovanni Batista Piranesi The Prisons (Le Carceri): The Complete First and Second States
New York Dover 1973 Stiff Paper Good/No Jacket Illustrated
Folio, Back cover has a mildly creased corner. Not bad. Giovanni Battista (also Giambattista) Piranesi (4 October 1720 - 9 November 1778) was an Italian artist famous for his etchings of Rome and of fictitious and atmospheric "prisons." The Prisons (Carceri d'invenzione or 'Imaginary Prisons'), is a series of 16 prints produced in first and second states that show enormous subterranean vaults with stairs and mighty machines. These in turn influenced Romanticism and Surrealism. While the Vedutisti (or "view makers") such as Canaletto and Bellotto, more often reveled in the beauty of the sunlit place, in Piranesi this vision takes on a Kafkaesque, Escher-like distortion, seemingly erecting fantastic labyrinthian structures, epic in volume, but empty of purpose. They are cappricci -whimsical aggregates of monumental architecture and ruin. The series was started in 1745. The first state prints were published in 1750 and consisted of 14 etchings, untitled and unnumbered, with a sketch-like look. The original prints were 16” x 21”. For the second publishing in 1761, all the etchings were reworked and numbered I– XVI (1–16). Numbers II and V were new etchings to the series. Numbers I through IX were all done in portrait format (taller than they are wide), while X to XVI were landscape (wider than they are high).

Pollok, Robert The Course of Time: A Poem
Portland Sanborn & Carter 1841 Leather Very Good/No Jacket
About 3" Tall, 276pp., Gilt lettered spine. All edges gilt. Upper half of fore-edge bumped mildly. Robert Pollok (c. 1798 - 15 September 1827) was a Scottish poet best known for The Course of Time, published the year of his death. Pollok was born in Renfrewshire, Scotland. Sources differ on the exact year of his birth, some giving 1789, some 1798, and some 1799. He studied at the University of Glasgow for the ministry of the United Secession Church. During this time, he anonymously published three poems: Helen of the Glen, The Persecuted Family, and Ralph Gemmell. After Pollok's death, these would be published together under his name as Tales of the Covenanters. In 1827, shortly before leaving the University, Pollok published what was to be his final and most famous work: The Course of Time, a ten-book poem in blank verse. By its fourth edition, The Course of Time had sold 78,000 copies and was popular as far away as North America. Later that year, suffering from tuberculosis, Pollok was advised by his doctors to travel to Italy. He left Scotland with this intention, but his health worsened rapidly, and he died at Shirley (at that time near, and now a part of Southampton) on the 15th of September. A monument to Pollok stands in Newton Mearns, Scotland, at the junction of the Glasgow/Ayr Road and the Old Mearns Road. It was unveiled on September 24, 1900, and bears the inscription "Robert Pollok, Author of 'The Course of Time' / Born 1798 Died 1827 / He soared untrodden heights and seemed at home".

Rabelais, Mr. Francis and illustrated by W. Heath Robinson The Works of Mr. Francis Rabelais: Doctor in Physick. Containing Five Books of the Lives, Heroick Deeds and Sayings ...
London Navarre Society Limited 1954 Hardcover Near Fine/No Jacket Illustrated
Octavo, 462pp., Gilt lettered and decorated spine. François Rabelais (c. 1494 - April 9, 1553) was a major French Renaissance writer, doctor and Renaissance humanist. He has historically been regarded as a writer of fantasy, satire, the grotesque, and both bawdy jokes and songs. Gargantua and Pantagruel tells the story of two giants – a father, Gargantua, and his son, Pantagruel - and their adventures, written in an amusing, extravagant, and satirical vein. Most scholars today agree that the French author wrote from a perspective of Christian humanism. This has not always been the case. Abel Lefranc, in his 1922 introduction to Pantagruel, depicted Rabelais as a militant anti-Christian atheist. M.A. Screech opposed this view and interpreted Rabelais as an Erasmian Christian humanist, the view that commands majority support today. Franç ois Rabelais himself was Roman Catholic. Timothy Hampton writes that "to a degree unequaled by the case of any other writer from the European Renaissance, the reception of Rabelais's work has involved dispute, critical disagreement, and ... scholarly wrangling ..."But at present, " whatever controversy still surrounds Rabelais studies can be found above all in the application of feminist theories to Rabelais criticism."

Reed, Andrew & Matheson, James A Narrative of the Visit to the American Churches, By the Deputation From the Congregational Union of England and Wales [2 Vols]
New York Harper and Brothers 1835 First Edition Hardcover Very Good Set
Octavo, Gilt lettered and decorated cover and spine. Mild spotting and wear on covers. A collection of letters chronicling a meeting of Presbyterian and Congregation bodies from the United States and England. Interesting work that makes the case that the American Indian ought to be preserved and that slaves ought to be emancipated. This is in 1835. The book points out that Slavery now has a legal existence only in America. But America is the very place, of all others, where it cannot, must not be tolerated. The eyes of the world are now fixed on America. Of course the so called Christian religion was used largely by the Southern states to justify the extension of the slavery of Africans for about 30 years longer than the rest of the civilized world considered it fashionable and ultimately did not end it without first assassinating a large portion of an unfortunate generation. Also includes much information on travel in the east and midwest, Shakers, Hicksites, slavery, Buffalo, Cleveland, other midwestern cities, female academies, colleges, manners and customs

Rice, William Gorham Carillon Music and Singing Towers of the Old World and the New
New York Dodd and Mead 1925 Limited Hardcover Very Good/No Jacket Illustrated
Octavo, 397 pp., Gilt lettered and decorated cover and spine. One of 150 copies signed by author. This is copy #146. Light wear to cover. Carillons evolved in the lowlands of Holland, Belgium and northern France. The rich mercantile towns of the lowlands exhibited their status by installing fine carillons in their church towers, and arranging tunes to be played every quarter hour (or more often!) by an automatic mechanism. The town carillonneur played on market days and holidays. It was said that good bells and good schools were the sign of a well run city. The first tuned carillon was cast by the brothers Pieter and Francois Hemony, and installed in Zutphen, The Netherlands, in 1652. The Hemonys produced many fine instruments; their work set a standard to which modern carillons are still compared. By the time of the French Revolution, changing musical tastes and the wars sweeping across Europe put an end to the first "golden age" of the carillon. Although several Flemish and French founders continued to make large sets of bells, the tuning secrets of the Hemonys and their successors were lost. In addition, new "power" mechanisms were developed to make the carillon easier to play; unfortunately, these mechanisms sacrificed musicality for loudness and ease of playing. Just before the turn of the 20th Century, there was a resurgence of interest in this ancient instrument, due in large part to the efforts of Jef Denyn, carillonneur in Mechlin, Belgium. He improved the musical qualities of his carillon and began a series of weekly concerts that became famous. In particular, they inspired an American civil servant, William Gorham Rice, who wrote a series of books popularizing this old world instrument
