Description:
Frankfurt: A.M. Mallet, 1719. The mounts have very slight bumping, but are in good, clean condition. The plates are good impressions, and cleanly mounted. Plate 71 has a slight crease to the right edge, with a "crack" of loss of ink. This would seem to have occurred at the time of printing. Overall in very nice condition. . A pair of copper engravings of the heavens. The first shows Three globes are floating in the sky, an active seaside scene across the bottom including boats, an old coastal village scene, etc. The globes show the Anteciens, the Perieciens and the Antipodes. These are two small to have been of use to a navigator, and were purely decorative. This is numbered plate 49 to the corner. The second, labeled plate 71 shows a pastoral scene, above which there is a disc showing the sun and the astrological symbols. These were issued by A.M. Mallet in 1719, although these would appear to be slightly earlier impressions (without German text overlaid). Both of the engraved plates are held…

Brest: Emile Mage, 1875. First Edition. A lovely leporello of hand coloured lithographs produced by Emile Mage. Original decorated cloth boards with cloth spine. Boards are somewhat rubbed and faded, but overall in sound condition. Publisher's advert to the inside board, but no publication details. 15 pages containing 30 views of Brittany (to one side only). Very nice colouring. A touch of marking to the first page, otherwise very clean. We can find no examples of this publication on OCLC or online. Emile Mage was primarily an artistic photographer, but he also dabbled in objets d'Art, Breton costumes, and - it would seem - lithographed views. 175 x 115 mm (7 x 4½ inches). Première édition. Un joli leporello de lithographies coloriées à la main produite par Emile Mage. Planches en tissu décorées d'origine avec dos en tissu. Les planches sont un peu frottées et décolorées, mais dans l'ensemble en bon état. Annonce de l'éditeur sur le panneau intérieur, mais pas de détails sur la…
