hardcover. Condition: fine. Limited. Engravings and heliogravure illustrations throughout of plates, some full-page. All leaves mounted on hinges, with double-page map of Leipzig by Voss dated 1814. [16], 129, [5] pages. Massive elephant folio (measuring 21.5 x 27.25 inches and weighing 37 lbs), bound by Birdsall in half vellum over white cloth, gilt-lettered covers, spine and inner dentelles. London, 1898. Limited edition -- number 46 of only 100 copies printed. A magnificent production on specially manufactured paper with watermark facsimile of Richard Wagner's signature. Engraved and printed by Allan Wyon, Chief Engraver of Her Majesty's Seals; the heliogravures were printed in Paris by Fillon & Heuse. An important source for details of Wagner's life. Mary Burrell (1850-1898) acquired a collection of documents from Natalie Bilz, the daughter of Wagner's first wife Minna. This volume contains just the first part of her planned biography, which was published after her death by her husband, Willoughby Burrell. The substantial Burrell collection of Wagner letters was subsequently given to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, who sold them at auction in 1978. As only one hundred copies were printed, it remains an uncommon book. A reduced-size facsimile was produced in 2000.

Condition: Good. Two 8¾" x 6 7/8" sheets folded inside original 3½" x 5½" envelope. Four-page handwritten letter, about 575 words plus sketched drawing. Letter very good, creased at old folds; envelope about good, lacking 2" section, though both addresses unaffected. This is a fantastic letter written by an American woman describing sheep farming and fleecing in the Australian outback. Signed "Aunty" and addressed to "My dear Charles" (clearly a nickname for the recipient, one "Miss Alice C. Smith" of Watertown, Massachusetts), this letter goes into all-encompassing detail about working with sheep on an Australian farm. Mrs. Burrell observed that her present location, Netley Station, was "much like our large ranches in the west" and ran to about 600,000 acres with a whopping 85,000 sheep. "This is shearing time," she wrote, and "it is very interesting." The letter meticulously describes the work entailed in shearing and transporting the animals, sorting and grading the fleece, and the climate affecting the whole process. She also addressed other aspects of her sojourn ("I have not yet been into one of the mines women are not very welcome underground") and sketched out a drawing of the "sheep run and sheds," tables and stalls where the fleecing occurred, and the "press where wool is baled." A delightful introduction to sheep farming in Australia written by an American woman.
