Albuminabzug. Carte-de-visite. Der bedeutende Baß, wurde mit 15 Jahren Mitglied des Chores der Berliner Hofoper, wo er bald kleinere Rollen in Opern bekam. Er war Autodidakt und hatte nie eine richtige Gesangsausbildung erhalten. Seinen Durchbruch erzielte er am Stadttheater Leipzig, wo er sieben Jahre lang zu den Publikumslieblingen zählte. Hier begann auch eine innige Freundschaft mit dem Komponisten Albert Lortzing, der für ihn die Titelrollen seiner Opern "Der Freischütz" und "Hans Sachs" schrieb und bei deren Uraufführungen er natürlich sang. Er war dann ab 1846 41 Jahre Mitglied der Münchner Hofoper und wurde dort zum Kammersänger und Ehrenmitglied ernannt. Er galt als bedeutender Wagner-Interpret und sang in den Uraufführungen von Wagners Opern "Rheingold" 1869 und "Die Walküre" 1870 in München den Wotan, 1882 sang er den Titurel bei der Uraufführung des "Parsifal" in Bayreuth. Der Photograph Otto Reitmayer (1838-?) betrieb 1859-94 ein namhaftes Münchner Atelier.

1st Edition. iv, 214; [2], 171, [1 (blank)]; lxxii, [2 (blank)] pp. Couple illustrations, at least one lithograph by W[alter]. [Hood] Fitch (1817-1892). 8-3/4" x 5-1/4" Walter Fitch was a botanical illustrator from Scotland. Fitch's illustration have appeared in Curtis's Botanical Magazine, most publications issued by Royal Botanical Gardens Kew, George Bentham's 'Handbook of the British Flora', James Bateman's "A Monograph of Odontoglossum" and William Hooker's "A century of Orchidaceous Plants". "Fitch was made a fellow of the Linnean Society in 1857." [wiki]. The previous owner inscription reads "Skipper Kent 1953". Skipper Kent was a restauranteur in the San Francisco Bay Area, owning Zombie Village in Oakland and Skipper Kent's in San Francisco. These "tiki" inspired restaurants were his pride and joy as he was already and avid collector of Polynesian art and artifacts. Kent was also an avid orchid collector, so we suspect this was in his library at one time, with his interest in botany. The embossed library stamp comes from the library of Herman Knoche (1870-1945). Knoche was born in San Jose, California and studied botany at Stanford University. He moved to France to further his studies at University of Montpellier; his particular interest was island vegetation.

Hacia 1839 fue enviado como misionero August Hardeland, quien con el tiempo fue convirtiéndose en lingüista, publicando en 1858 una gramática del Dayak y en 1859, este fantástico diccionario y las traducciones al Dayak del viejo y del nuevo testamento.La lengua que estudió Hardeland ya no es denominada Dayak, puesto que las lenguas Dayak son múltiples, formando una familia lingüistica con muchas diferencias. De este modo, la que estudió Hardeland es la hoy denominada Ngaju, la hablada por el pueblo del mismo nombre.
