Handcoloured map, 28.5 x 39 cms (including platemark); 34 x 41 cms (sheet), relief throughout shown by hachures, publisher's or binder's numeric stamp (102), the margins a little browned and chipped, but in very good condition. This sheet maps a sweeping, wild, and politically fragmented area of North-Eastern and Central-Eastern… India. It captures the dense, rugged interiors of Allahabad, Bahar (Bihar), Gangpoor, Sumbhulpoor, and Ruttunpoor. The sheet explicitly delineates the territories under direct East India Company British administration from those of the sovereign regional native rulers, specifically marking out the lands of the Rajah of Berar, the Rajah of Rewah, and the Bundelcund (Bundelkhand). The maritime port city of Balasore sits near the lower right-hand margin where the land meets the Bay of Bengal.

Contact seller5-star sellerComplete two volume first edition set of the Jervas translation. Bindings need professional repair for Volume I's front board is detached with slender splitting to rear joint although with rear board still firm; likewise Volume II's joints have splitting with some pliability to front board but with its rear board still firm - so…ld as is. Hardcovers: H 28cm x L 22cm. Uniformly bound in contemporary (mid to late 1700s) full tree leather; boards rubbed with some old surface losses at bottom margins; shelf-wear to boards' gilt tooled edges; boards' gilt inner dentelles remain reasonably bright; spines retain their gilt tooled compartments and original dark red title labels and black volume# labels. No bookbinder marks present but likely the set is the product of a higher-end London bindery. Both volumes share the same Tonson and Dodsley 1742 London imprint and their title pages credit translator Charles Jarvis which is an incorrect spelling of his surname as it should be "Jervas" (the misspelling also occurs on the spine titles which specify "Jarvis's Don Quixote"). Each volume retains its original sewn-in dark green silk ribbon page markers although the usual expected fraying at their bottom ends. Marbled endpapers; both volumes have mid-18th century style armorial bookplate of Andrew Lindegren on their respective front pastedowns (which may or may not be Swedish immigrant iron ore importer Andrew Lindegren, ?-1783, of Portsmouth, England).

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. A very fine example, with high contrast, of this rare print. This is the first published engraving dedicated to Michelangelo's Moses, and one of only two made in the 16th century. The funerary monument of Julius II occupied Michelangelo, in various phases, from 1505 to the 1540s. Prints of the entire…monument are few. In them, the figure of Moses is necessarily reduced in size and imperfectly executed. Later prints of the statue in isolation, such as that by the Netherlandish artist Jacob Matham (1571-1631), in which the figure is shown in reverse, fail to match the standard set by this early engraving. The inscription reads: Moysis ingens ex marmore simulacrum, in Julij Secundi/ Pontificis Maximi ad petri in Exquilijs uincula sepulcro / præstanti Michaelis Angeli Bonarotae manu, fictum. [The immense marble statue of Moses in the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli on the Esquiline Hill, sculpted by the hand of Michelangelo Buonarroti for the tomb of Pope Julius II.] Michelangelo's design for the tomb of Pope Julius II, with the master's iconic figure of Moses, was originally intended for St. Peter's but was, ultimately, installed in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. The work was commissioned by Pope Julius in 1505, at which time Michelangelo received an initial payment of 100 gold ducats, but was not completed until March 1545. Michelangelo re-worked his initial design numerous times, first in 1513 (after Julius' death), and again in 1516, 1525/1526, 1532 and 1542. The final monument includes three figures carved by Michelangelo: the aforementioned Moses, and Leah and Rachel (symbols, respectively, of the active and contemplative life). Michelangelo's sculptures of the dying and rebellious slaves (now in the Louvre) and the Genius of Victory (Palazzo Vecchio, Florence) were not used in the final design. On the second tier of the monument as it stands, is an effigy of the reclining Julius II attributed to Tommaso di Pietro Boscoli (1503-1574) but with the face possibly the work of Michelangelo, watched over by the Madonna and Child (carved by Alessandro Scherano di Settignano after a model by Michelangelo) and flanked by a sibyl and a prophet; these last two sculptures were carved by Michelangelo's pupil Raffaello da Montelupo (ca. 1504-ca. 1567). "The engraving reproduces, accurately, in the same direction and without substantial variations, the sculpture of the tomb of Julius II, identifying the light source at the top left. The work, attributed by Bottari to Beatrizet (Heinecken, 1768), was treated as anonymous by Heinecken in the Nachrichten of 1768, but later included by him in the list of Beatrizet's works (Dictionnaire, 1788). Nagler recorded it both under the monogram of Cornelis Bos and as the work of Beatrizet. Appearing in the Hollstein repertoire as Bos, it was subsequently treated among works of doubtful attribution both of Bos (Schéle, 1965) and of Beatrizet (Bianchi, 2004). "Due to the fact that copies of this print are found in volumes of Roman composition on the model of the Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae (El Escorial; Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional; both datable between the mid-1580s and the 1590s) one would be led to believe that the plate was engraved in Rome, where in the last decade of the 16th century it was acquired by Van Aelst. This does not, however, exclude Cornelis Bos as a possible author (since more than one of his plates is ??known to bear a Roman address in late editions), even if it makes it more likely -in our opinion- the identification with a Flemish engraver active in Italy. In the sparse and luminous texture and in the clean geometries one could also perceive the burin of Niccolò della Casa."(Alberti, Rovetta, and Salsi, "D'après Michelangelo"(2015), p. 219 ff.). SECOND STATE, of three, with the addition of "Romae" incised at lower right.

In this infamous tale, our hero little Frank has many strange adventures after falling asleep full of plum cake.

Humoured children's - though just as entertaining for well coiffed adults - novel by English author Tom Hood, son of Thomas Hood, Senior. . a thread of persiflage which may be appreciated by the older reader;" Dedication: "To my puzzledom pilgrims, who have been often in my mind while I was writing these pages, I inscribe this work. Tom Hood." Author Tom Hood was a humorist and playwright famous for editing the magazine "Fun" and satirical literature such as this novel. His father Thomas Hood was an English poet and humorist known for works including "The Bridge of Sighs." Both contributed significantly to English literature in their respective eras. This was one of many over-the-top comedic novels for children following "Alice's Adventures" first published in 1864; near a decade prior. Controversy ensued in the late nineteenth century when an English critic mistook the dates and attributed "From Nowhere to the Moon" the influence upon Lewis Carroll's high-jinks andventure and not vice versa as was correct according to the original publishing dates. William Brunton was a 19th-century Irish artist and cartoonist known for his work in magazines like Punch and The Illustrated Times. He also illustrated children's books, including this and "Moonshine Fairy Stories" in 1882.

A highly detailed example of political a…nd military cartography from the height of the Victorian era, capturing the Central Asian frontier at the dawn of the "Great Game". The map covers the expanse of Central Asia, stretching from the deserts of modern-day Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan down through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Arabian Sea. It maps out the Emirate of Bukhara in the north and the Desert of Khiva. It explicitly references the "Nomadic Tribes of Turkomans" roaming the steppes. Afghanistan is centred on the map, and displays the fractured geography of the Afghan kingdom. It details the treacherous mountain passes of the Hindu Kush, alongside the major strategic cities of Kabul, Kandahar, and Herat. Beloochistan (Balochistan) & Sinde (Sindh)anchor the southern third of the sheet, it routes down toward the coastline, showing the vast desert paths, tribal domains, and the mouth of the Indus River.
