Single sheet. RARE. Thirteen years had elapsed since an attempt was made to afford relief to those persons who were labouring under the complicated misfortunes of poverty and blindness, by forming an institution where they might be cheered by conversation, and where, by being engaged in different occupations, their minds might be relieved from the fatigue of inactivity. The object was attained without difficulty; but after the experience of a few years, and when the establishment had, in a greater degree, engaged the public attention, the committee gradually extended their views with respect to the objects under their care; and endeavoured to convert the institution from an Asylum, where the present ease and comfort of the blind were principally considered, into a School, where they might be instructed in some useful art or trade, by which they might be enabled, altogether, or in part, to procure for themselves a comfortable livelihood. Since the opening of the new building, in the spring of 1800, the number of pupils in the school has been above seventy. They are all of them usefully employed; and they exhibit a picture of cheerfulness and comfort, which can perhaps scarcely be paralleled by an equal number of individuals, of any description whatever, collected under the same roof. Note: Spotting; see images. Paper watermarked HS 1806. 22 x 27 cm.

Single sheet. RARE. The Monks' Well at Wavertree with the cross as it formerly stood. This is a place where charitable contributions were once collected. The base of the cross (added with the cross itself in the late 19th century) bears the inscription Qui non dat quod habet Doemon infra ridet and Anno 1414, roughly meaning The Devil laughs below at he who does not give what he has. The date 1414 may not be an exaggeration. The Pevsner Guide describes the lower stonework including the arch as undoubtedly mediaeval. Moss's Liverpool Guide of 1796 states that a monastic house was once alongside. On the cross itself is the inscription Deus dedit homo bibit or God gives, man drinks. The whole lies on the site of a spring where pure water once bubbled out from the sandstone of Olive Mount. The archway, now bricked up, once led to steps giving access to a stone cistern containing water. 22 x 27 cm.

Single sheet. RARE. St. Peter's Church was erected in 1700. Church Street used to be cut off from Lord Street by salt water and, until the Pool was closed in 1709, Church Street and the country beyond could only be reached by crossing over the Pool by the bridge at the foot of Lord Street. Church Street remained unpaved until 1760, and was not flagged until 1816, although there were constant complaints of its muddy state, whilst one writer depicts it as a quagmire, for there was a cattle market held there once a week. Faint water stain in left margin. Paper watermarked HS 1806. 22 x 27 cm.

Single sheet. RARE. The first stone was laid on the thirtieth of June, 1803, and the masonry completed in March, 1807. To give the greatest degree of beauty possible to this noble design, stone of a very fine quality has been obtained from the quarries of the Earl of Sefton, in Toxteth-park, near Liverpool; and a sum of eighty thousand pounds has been raised by subscription, in shares of one hundred pounds each. The area of the Liverpool Exchange-buildings, is more than twice the area of the London Exchange; that of the one is 197 feet, from north to south, and 178 feet from east to west; that of the other is 144 feet by 117; the former contains 35,066 square feet; the latter only 16,848 square feet. 22 x 27 cm.

Single sheet. RARE. Custom House at the end of the Old Dock. The old docks were built after an Act of Parliament was passed in 1710. The inhabitants and merchants made a large basin or wet dock, at the east end of the town. The custom house was at the east end and on the quays are shops, houses and warehouses. A guide of 1810 comments: many of which have a very old and a very inelegant appearance. In the vicinity of this dock, the streets are in general low and wet, but the rent of the houses high, and they are numerously inhabited. There was a wet dock - where ships were continuously afloat- and a dry dock-which at low tide drained of water and allowed ships to be accessed easily. Numerous vessels used the old docks such as ships from Ireland, the Mediterranean, West Indies and Africa. Faint water stain in left margin. Paper watermarked HS 1807. 22 x 27 cm.

Single sheet. RARE. The Town Hall is situated near the centre of the town, having the New Exchange Buildings on the north, and Castle-street on the south. The first stone was laid in 1748, and the whole was completed in 1754. In 1795 the interior was consumed by fire, but has since been rebuilt. The expenses, including the furniture and internal decorations, were £110,000. The old cupola being thought too heavy, and not harmonizing with the rest of the structure, was removed, and the present one erected. The east and west fronts remain unchanged; but the part on the north side, which comprises the principal ball-room, has been added; and on the south side, a few years since, was built the portico and pediment; an addition that has contributed much to improve the general appearance of this edifice. 22 x 27 cm.

Single sheet. RARE. It was still relatively unspoilt in the 1950s and 60s when it was known as the Cast Iron Shore. After The Pool, probably the most famous of Liverpool's lost rivers was the Dingle Brook with its outlet near Knott's Hole. It gave its name to the adjacent district and, along with the surrounding wooded dell (The Dingle), the area was a famous local beauty spot for centuries. Knott's hole also provided an occasional sheltered landing place for crossing the Mersey when rough weather prevented the use of the Pier Head. The Ordnance Survey map of 1893 makes it clear that the area described as Knotts Hole was actually two little rocky coves separated by the headland known as David's Throne. Dingle Brook emptied into the southerly one of these, the other being Knott's Hole proper. Faint spots. 22 x 27 cm.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 61 Full Colour Plates (illustrator). First US Edition. Dust jacket complete. Illustrated boards. No ownership inscription. 61 Full Colour Plates, 15, LXIII pages clean and tight. MANET By Claudia Lyn Cahan. With 61 plates in full colour. The superbly reproduced colour plates in this volume tell the visually exciting story of a painter who became, however, unwillingly, one of the founding fathers of modern art. Edouard Manet stands as a figure apart in the history of painting. Though seen in his own time as the leader of the Impressionists, he refused that designation, as he did all other labels for his work. In the face of almost constant criticism and rejection, he employed new techniques to portray subject matter that shocked equally the viewing public and the art establishment. Manet carried artistic tradition along new pathways, in time revolutionizing both the concept of beauty and the role of painting. Among the works in this volume is Dejeuner sur 1'Herbe, the famous painting that set Paris agog in 1863. The official art critics, scandalized, refused to recognize this portrayal of a nude woman picnicking with two gentlemen fully clad in fashionable dress, and the controversy became a motivating factor in the formation of the Salon des Refuses and a rallying point for the young independent artists in their revolt against academic painting. In the middle of the nineteenth century, France was alive with social and economic changes that were reflected in its cultural life. Manet, a product of the rapidly expanding bourgeoisie, wanted to record the new sense of excitement and joy of life as it was expressed by people of his own class. He saw his age filled with movement and pleasure and, like the Impressionists, wanted to capture that, to paint the moment of reality he saw before him. After six years of academic training, he began to depict not the mythological and historical scenes that tradition required but his own compeers as they boated, picnicked, listened to concerts, or sat at the beach. Size: 4to.
