Item description from seller

In-folio (415x285mm), pp. XIV, 287-350, (paginazione continua rispetto al precedente fascicolo; numerose pp. di annunci pubblicitari illustrati e con paginazione in cifre romane; le pp. con i contributi scientifici sono segnate in cifre arabe), brossura originale azzurra con testo su più colonne (il piatto posteriore presenta pubblicità figurate). Numerose incisioni xilografiche n.t. Testo su 3 colonne. Ottimo stato. Celeberrimo periodico scientifico statunitense, fra le più antiche e stimate riviste di divulgazione scientifica, il cui primo numero apparve il 28 agosto 1845. La rivista (che continua a essere pubblicata ancora oggi e che si avvalse nella sua storia della collaborazione di molti grandi scienziati, primo fra tutti Albert Einstein) contiene contributi relativi a numerosissime discipline: industria e settore manifatturiero, meccanica, ingegneria, chimica, metallurgia, acustica, ottica, elettricità, architettura ed edilizia, agricoltura e orticoltura, medicina, igiene, scienze naturali, biologia, meteologia, geologia, climatologia, fisica terrestre, geologia, mineralogia, astronomia, ecc. Così recitava il programma originario della rivista: This paper is especially entitled to the patronage of Mechanics and Manufactures, being the only paper in America, devoted to the interest of those classes; but is particularly useful to farmers, as it will not only appraise them of improvements in agriculture implements, But instruct them in various mechanical trades, and guard them against impositions. As a family newspaper, it will convey more useful intelligence to children and young people, than five times its cost in school instruction. Il presente volume contiene i 4 numeri del novembre 1882, con scritti di vari autori su numerosi argomenti: le manifatture di gomma e di guttaperca, macchine di nuova invenzione, le gru a vapore, il triciclo a vapore, un curioso tipo di pattini a triciclo, le aringhe giganti, il cocomero di mare, ecc. Inglese. …

Store description

Galleria Gilibert antiquarian bookshop was opened in 1992 by the late Alfredo Gilibert, great bibliophile and collector throughout his life of all forms of art on paper. His son Massimo now owns and runs the bookshop and continues the family tradition of locating and providing books and prints to collectors around the world. Galleria Gilibert has been a member of L.I.L.A. since 1997. The bookshop occupies two floors in the magnificent gallery Galleria Subalpina in the heart of Turin, between two of the city's most important squares: Piazza Castello and Piazza Carlo Alberto. It is very close to the Biblioteca Reale, the famous Egyptian museum, and the Galleria Sabauda. …
