AERONAUTICS -- [POCOCK, George]. The Aeropleustic Art or Navigation in the Air by the Use of Kites or Buoyant Sails. [London: W. Wilson ?for the author, 1827]. 4° (315 x 245mm). Engraved title by A. Adlard with hand-coloured aquatint vignette by P. Roberts, 3 hand-coloured aquatint plates, 2 signed by Roberts, one after T. Butterworth, the other after S. Colman. (Two plates detached, text leaves loose, spotted and occasionally dust-soiled, tear to margin of F2.) Original paper-backed boards with printed cover label (spine worn). Provenance: J. Whittuck 1828 (inscription on label). FIRST EDITION. The eccentric Bristol schoolmaster, George Pocock, dedicated this work to his ex-kite-flying pupils. Recognising the force of wind power, it provides a history of the kite as a scientific invention, and examines its potential adaptations as a kind of ascending parachute for mariners before describing the famous Charvolant, a kite-powered carriage capable of speeds of twenty miles per hour. The vignette shows a rescue at sea by means of a kite, while the three plates illustrate a kite-powered 'Boat Race', the 'Patent Kite and Charvolant' and 'Charvolants travelling in various directions in the same wind'. The work drew serious attention as well as satire, and a second edition appeared in 1851. See front cover illustration. View on Christie's.com

BROWN, Richard (fl. 1804-1845). The Rudiments of Drawing Cabinet and Upholstery Furniture. London: printed for, and sold by, the author, 1820. 4°-in-2s (282 x 215mm). 25 engraved plates, 17 with hand-colouring. (Occasional light spotting and offsetting.) Contemporary half calf (extremities lightly rubbed, spine slightly faded). EXTREMELY RARE FIRST EDITION. Richard Brown, an architect, designer and drawing-master, became increasingly interested in furniture design, and the present work demonstrates his belief that designers in this field needed to master the art of perspective. The work consists of 25 plates, each accompanied by commentary, and includes 3 plates (2 plain and one fully coloured) developing a design for a library. The designs throughout are in the Classical style and acknowledge the work of Thomas Hope, George Smith and Charles Percier (p.viii), as well as John Soane (p.38, pl. XVIII). ONLY THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF SCOTLAND COPY CAN BE TRACED IN INSTITUTIONS. RIBA suggests there is another copy in Grand Rapids Public Library, MI, but this is not found via their online catalogue or through Worldcat. A new edition with 32 plates was published in 1822, and a third edition in 1835. RIBA 438 (3rd edition). View on Christie's.com
