Des Koniglich Baierisch Militarisch Hohen St. Georgii Ritter Ordens Wappen Calender
Munchen Fleischmann 1817 Vellum Very Good
16mo. With 119 Engraved Plates, one folding, of portraits, coat-of-arms, and sometimes ornate decoration and imagery beside. A mix of line and stipple engravings. This is a collection of the escutcheons of German princes. Followed by almanac and calendar. The almanac part has death notices, not recent at time, that might have been included as a fee by noble families wishing to honor their forbears. The principle part of the almanac is a historic table with dates of ascession (coronation) and death of princes during mostly the eighteenth century. The binding is of added interest, being a red vellum. The binding has considerable wear, especially along the edges, and spine labels are chipped. Tight and mostly clean within, with FFEP partly loose. Two bookplates, both attractive, of Dudrea and Sumner Parker, who had a museum in Lutherville, Maryland in their home called "The Cloisters" which was bequeathed by them to the City of Baltimore.

[Manuscript] B. Whippy & Son Crest Book
England Full Calf Very Good
N.d., circa eighteenth century. With 161 leaves, the first 120 having crests, escutcheons and heraldic imagery on both the rectos, the last 41 leaves with imagery only on the recto, for a total of 281 pages with illustrative content. The heraldic symbols are all drawn with ink, generally six to a page, sometimes more, sometimes less, and always with a cursive handwritten caption of the individual or title to which it belongs. The symbols run the full gamut of heraldic figures, from animals, both naturalistic and stylized, to human figures, to crowns, weaponry, flora, stars, more abstract designs, etc. All are done with a sure and precise hand, making the log, for that is what it amounts to, a highly appealing manuscript, the purpose of which one can only surmise. All we know from the spine label and the front board pastedown label is that the book was of B. Whippy & Son, who we might assume were responsible for the creation of the book. Some soiling of the leaves, but generally the plates are attractive. Contemporary boards, with heavy scuffing but appropriate and desirable. Rebacked with a complementary green calf and in a way that is impressive and substantial. Newer endpapers. One paper repair.
