Mit 41 Abbildungen von Wappen, Helmschmuck und-ornamenten. (24) S. Blauer Orig.-Leinenband mit goldgeprägtem Deckeltitel. Dieses kleine Büchlein richtet sich, ähnlich gestaltet wie ein Briefmarkenalbum mit sich wiederholenden Vordrucken für die Sammelbildchen, ausdrücklich an Sammler von Ornamenten und Emblemen, mit denen in vergangenen Zeiten die Helme und Wappen der Monarchen, der adeligen Ritter sowie der königlichen Angehörigen geschmückt waren. Aber auch für die Wappen von Universitäten, Regimentern, Admiralitäten, Hospitäler etc. sind in dem Album Seiten gelassen, so dass der Sammler ein breites Gebiet abdecken kann. Im hinteren Teil befindet sich eine Sammlung von klassischen Zitaten (so z.B. "Veni, Vidi, Vici") und Wahlsprüche, die an berühmten Gebäuden oder Gräbern stehen, teilweise aber auch als Schlachtrufe eingesetzt wurden. Zusammengestellt wurden in solch einem Sammelalbum ausgeschnittene Bildchen von Wappen- und Helmschmuck sowie Monogramme, die sich auf Umschlägen, Briefköpfen oder anderen Papieren befand. Es wurden aber auch gezielt Bildchen für Sammler produziert. Diese Art von Beschäftigung entstand um 1860 herum im Vereinigten Königreich und seinen Kolonien, kam jedoch mit dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs zum Erliegen. - Weitere Photos finden Sie auf unserer Internetseite.- Einband etwas berieben; Ecken und Kanten etwas berieben und bestoßen; Seiten etwas gebräunt; Titelseite zu zwei Drittel vom Einband gelöst.

album of crests, monograms and other decorative armorial devices, pasted in around original illustrations and mounts, ff. [86] oblong 4to (250 x 280 mm), contemporary burgundy coarse grained morocco, gilt and blind foliate borders, spine ornately gilt in compartments with raised bands, gilt edges; a little rubbed and scuffed, but very good. A fine Victorian album of crests, monograms, rebuses and devices, including royal and aristocratic arms, colleges, country houses, institutions and notable individuals. Most have a handwritten key, and all are arranged around a central illustration, such as kites, playing cards, flags, boats and heraldic devices. Some of the arrangements are more accomplished, and more eccentric, than others, but this is a very good example.

N.A. Condition: Very Good. Quirky homemade souvenir fan with many stickers pasted on from New England towns, colleges (Dartmouth, Wellesley, Mt. Holyoke College, New England Conservatory of Music, Williams College), prep schools (Phillips Exeter, hotels, and other points of interest. While there is no definitive dating, there is one sticker with the date of 1900 and another for "The Aegis: Dartmouth College Class of 1901. The stickers are on both sides of the fan, and the effect is same as on luggage with stickers from all the places the owner has traveled, except on the fan the stickers are much smaller. Given the preponderance of schools, we would conjecture that this particular fan was created by a young person, perhaps for his/her own enjoyment or conceived as a gift for a friend. Surely it was done as an act of love, and its very oddity must have been a source of fun for its creator. The fan has nine wooden spokes that fan out to 48 cm, and closed the fan is 26 cm tall. The labels and tags are pasted onto a black mackintosh fabric which has a luster. There is virtually no space available for additional tags, and so the project was fully realized by its creator. Solid and well-preserved.
