Condition: Very Good

4to, 9.5 by 7 inches, 24 by 17 cm. 64 plates, each accompanied by a page or two of description (on separate leaves). Colas 2358. This is derived from the same title published by John Murray in 1814, which itself was based closely on the work published by Miller in 1803 and the plates of Georgi from the 1770s (Colas 1223). Notwithstanding the derivative nature of the plates, as hand-colored stipple prints they are exquisite, with color that to this day springs off the page and delights. Leather on spine is dried out and rubbed by extremities. Rubbing of gutter areas. Boards' leather still ...

Binding: Half Morocco

Condition: Good Plus

32mo, 8 by 6 cm. 120 pp. The French equivalent of a rare English miniature -- Alfred Mills "Costumes of All Nations". Woodcut plates are simple and even naive but tend to depict people in some kind of activity. Thus there is the free black man making his slave climb a tree, a young "negress" playing ouri, Congolese carrying their cheif on a chaise, South Sea natives in mourning, etc. Leather is heavily rubbed. Cloth boards with scuffs and abrasions. Light occasional foxing and other minor soiling. Some leaves with minor corner creases.

Price: $1,000.00

Publisher: London, C. Hullmandel:

Seller ID: 001974

Feminine Fashions Past and Present

By: N/A

Price: $150.00

Seller ID: 003115

Binding: Cloth

Condition: Very Good

N.d., circa 1920. 4to. 32 by 24 cm. No title, as it was probably issued. Unpaginated, 22 pp., all with hand-colored illustrations of women's dress, hair-styles, etc. from 1600 to the late 1800s. This would appear a reprint, in a smaller format, of part of a work by H. Rouit, and perhaps this was issued privately, or by a non-publishing commercial concern. While the rendering of women's faces is undistinguished, the colors used in some of the garments are lushly rich, and as a visual survey of the three centuries, it is exemplary.

Antique Box and Feathered Ladies Mitt from Otto Huster, Importer and Manufacturer of Fancy Furs, Wholesale & Retail, No. 38 Maiden Lane, New York.

By: N/A

Price: $500.00

Seller ID: 003484

Binding: NA

Condition: Near Fine and Fine

N.d, but the latest date would be 1876 when the Otto Huster company filed for bankruptcy. The box itself is round like a hat box, with a blue paper pastedown label on top, and the round edges sewn together. Its dimensions are 23.5 cm tall, and 19 cm in diameter. The box has light abrasions and wear but is excellently preserved overall, with the label fully intact, its lettering perhaps faded but still easily legible and attractive. The mitt is an incredible survivor and would appear to not have ever been used. Because of its age, it has a delicacy that demands it be handled with care.

The salesman sampler is oversized, measuring 17 by ...
