Riguardo questo articolo

Oblong folio (345 x 283 mm.). 109 engraved plates (some folding). Later mottled calf. Extremely rare, complete series of the New Year's engravings issued by the "Society of Constables and Fireworkers of Zurich". A single comparable set is known in libraries and special collections (Berne University Library). "Durch die von 1689 bis 1798 fortgesetzte Herausgabe von Neujahrsbl�ttern, welche eine belehrende Reihe bildlicher Darstellungen �ber das Artilleriefach, begleitet von zweckm��igen Erl�uterungen, enthalten, beurkundete die Gesellschaft der Constaffler und Feuerwerker in Z�rich eine fruchtbringende Theilnahme an der milit�risch-wissenschaftlichen Erziehung der Jugend; seit 1806 setzt dieser Verein auf �hnliche Weise seine anerkennenswerthen Bem�hungen fort, obschon die �u�ern Merkmale einer milit�rischen Genossenschaft nicht mehr vorhanden sind" (Leemann, Abriss der Milit�r-Statistik der Schweiz [1839], p. 249). Other Zurich military societies issued similar series for the New Year. The splendid engravings show artillery, drill, maneuvers, fortification, guns, ordnance, and powder-making; engravers include Johann Balthasar Bullinger, Johannes Meyer, Johann Melchior F�ssli, David Herrliberger, Johannes Lochman, David Scheuchzer, A. G. Sch�bler, Johann Heinrich Lips, D. B�yel, and Schellenberg. The 1751 plate ("Einleitung zur Artillerie-Wissenschafft") doubles as a half-title. - Traces of old folds to a few plates, occasionally somewhat stained in the margins or remargined altogether; one (for 1788) trimmed to the plate edge and rebacked. A fine, complete set from the collection of Thomas Fremantle, 3rd Baron Cottesloe (1862-1956), commander of the Territorial Army and president of the Society for Army History Research. - Spaulding/Karpinski 198. Lipperheide Qf 1 (only 89 plates: wants 1776-77 and 1780ff.). Codice articolo 51146

Descrizione libreria

We have been dealing in valuable books, manuscripts, and autographs since 1883. As members of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), the Verband der Antiquare �sterreichs (Austrian association of antiquarian booksellers), as well as the Verband deutscher Antiquare e.V. (German association of antiquarian booksellers), we are bound by these organizations' code of ethics. A large proportion of our customers is made up of institutions, including renowned international universities and major state libraries. We keep contact with our private customers at international book fairs and through our online catalogues. You are welcome to visit us on our business premises from Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM. We are happy to take buying orders for the important book auctions in Germany and Austria, which we attend regularly. We dedicate special attention to the estates and archives of important personalities of the arts and sciences in European and world history. Through specially prepared archive catalogues we have been able to sell the archives of Viktor L�on (librettist, 1859-1940), Leo Fall (operetta composer, 1873-1925), Lotte Lehmann (singer, 1888-1976), Otto Tressler (actor, 1871-1865) and Max Reinhardt (director, 1873-1743), as well as the last privately owned important original manuscripts by Ludwig Wittgenstein (philosopher, 1889-1951). Along the lines of this specialization our buying policy concentrates especially on these fields.
