Three photographs of the Great Eastern, 1857 albumen prints, mounted, comprising:Starboard elevation from mid-Thames, 17 November 1857, 21.5 x 33cm, mount aperture 20.8 x 26.8, extensive loss to left edge (mostly concealed by mount) [V&A; PH.248-1979];Bow-on view, c.1857, 24.8 x 29cm, mount aperture 23.8 x 25cm, loss to left edge (mostly concealed by mount) [V&A; PH.250-1979];Workers (man and boy) beneath the paddle-wheel, 27.5 x 35.5cm, loss to left edge [V&A; PH.257-1979](3) Robert Howlett’s iconic images of the construction of the Great Eastern are remembered as ‘some of the most significant photographs of the 19th century’ (Hannavy, Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography, 2008, vol. 1, pp. 717-18). The Great Eastern was by far the largest ship ever built at the time, and remained so when she was scrapped in 1888. Though an unprecedented marvel of engineering, the project was a financial disaster. Brunel died a few days after her departure on its maiden voyage in 1859. Howlett himself had died the previous year, his colleagues believing that his untimely death had been brought about by the chemicals used in his photographic work; his Great Eastern series is today regarded as ‘epitomizing the spirit of Victorian engineering and endeavour’ (ODNB).

Science fiction.- Fontenelle (Bernard le Bovier de) A Plurality of Worlds, second English edition, translated by John Glanvill, 2 initial blank leaves present, some light foxing, contemporary speckled sheep, [Wing F1417], 8vo, Printed for R. Bently, 1695. *** An excellent copy of this rare work. Bernard Le Bovier de Fontelle (1657-1757) was a French mathematician who wrote on the history of mathematics and the philosophy of science. This, his most famous work, was aimed at popularising the science of Galileo, Descartes and others, and then " became a seminal influence on proto science fiction. This is one of the earliest works ever written popularizing science, notably astronomy, for the layman, which it does by wittily presenting its speculations -- many about the possibility of life on other worlds -- in the form of conversations after dinner between the author and a marquise", see - Clute and Nicholls , The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1993 ), page. 437.

Astronomie - - Jacques Cassini. De la carte de la France et de la perpendiculaire à la méridienne de Paris, prolongée vers l'Occident (et) l'Orient. 2 Tle. in 1 Bd. Französisches Manuskript auf Papier mit zwei handgezeichneten und mehrfach gefalteten Karten. Paris, um 1730. 21 nn. Bll. u. 22 nn. Bll. Gr.-8°. Zeitgenössischer dunkelroter Ganzmaroquin auf fünf Bünden mit ornamentaler Vergoldung auf Deckeln und Rücken und goldgepr. Wappen von Germain-Louis Chauvelin, marquis de Grosbois auf beiden Deckeln. Steh- und Innenkantenvergoldung, dreis. Goldschnitt und Marmorvorsätze (etwas berieben und beschabt, Rücken mit kl. professionellen Restaurierungen). Vgl. Poggendorff I, 390/391. Hockey, Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers I, 207. DSB III, 104f. Gallois, L'Académie des Sciences et les origines de la carte de Cassini. In: Annales de Géographie, 1909, 289-310. - Der französische Astronom und Geodät Jacques Cassini (1677-1756) wurde 1694 in die Académie des Sciences aufgenommen und begann, gemeinsam mit seinem Vater wissenschaftliche Arbeiten zu verrichten. Um 1698 besuchte Cassini Flandern und dann England, wo er Newton, Flamsteed und Halley traf und in die Royal Society of London gewählt wurde. Im Jahr 1700 unternahmen Cassini und sein Vater ein Projekt zur Messung des Meridians von Paris nach Perpignan. Sie erhielten Ergebnisse, die fälschlicherweise darauf hindeuteten, dass die Erde an den Polen gestreckt war. 1713 schlug er eine neue Methode zur Bestimmung der geografischen Länge anhand der Verfinsterungen der Sterne und Planeten durch den Mond vor. Mit dieser Methode und unter Verwendung der Daten der Vermessung von Paris nach Perpignan aus dem Jahr 1700 wollte er beweisen, dass die Längengrade des Erdmeridians vom Äquator zum Pol hin kleiner werden. Leider hielt Cassini sein Leben lang an dieser Position fest und weigerte sich, die Abflachung trotz der vorgelegten wissenschaftlichen Beweise anzuerkennen. - Das Manuskript folgt Cassini und seinem Gefolge (dem Astronomen Jean-Dominique Maraldi, dem Kartographen l'abbé Jean Delagrive, dem Uhren- und Instrumentenbauer Julien Le Roy und zwei seiner Söhne) quer durch Frankreich. Das Werk ist in einer sauberen und gut lesbaren Kalligraphie geschrieben und mit zwei großen handschriftlichen Karten geschmückt, die die beiden Teile des Manuskripts begleiten. Die gedruckte Version der beiden Texte wurde 1734 an der Académie de Sciences mit leichten Varianten vorgetragen und veröffentlicht. Dort nur eine der beiden Karten vorhanden, die andere Karte wohl unveröffentlicht. - Provenienz: Germain-Louis Chauvelin (1685-1762), Marquis de Grosbois, war ein französischer Politiker, der als "garde des sceaux" (Siegelbewahrer) und Staatssekretär für auswärtige Angelegenheiten unter Ludwig XV. diente. Im Jahr 1727 wurde Chauvelin mit der Leitung der Abteilung für das Verlagswesen, die Druckerei und die Zensur betraut und erhielt den Vorsitz über das Siegel. Seine beeindruckende Bibliothek wurde 1762 in Paris verkauft. Unser Manuskript ist im Katalog unter der Nr. 2365 gelistet. - Eines von vermutlich vier existierenden Manuskriptexemplaren, von denen sich drei in öffentlichen französischen Institutionen befinden, die dem König und anderen wichtigen Vertretern der französischen Regierung gewidmet sind. - Eine Karte mit kurzem Einriss am Falz. - Ein schönes und ausgezeichnet erhaltenes wissenschaftliches Manuskript in einem sehr dekorativen zeitgenössischen Wappeneinband. Astronomy - French manuscript on paper with two hand-drawn and folded maps. 2 parts in 1 vol. Contemporary red full morocco on five bands with ornamental gilt on covers and spine and gilt stamped coat of arms of Germain-Louis Chauvelin, marquis de Grosbois on both covers. Gilt edges and marble endpapers (somewhat rubbed and scuffed, spine with small professional restorations). - The French astronomer and geodesist Jacques Cassini (1677-1756) was admitted to the Académie des Sciences in 1694 and began to carry out scientific work together with his father. Around 1698, Cassini visited Flanders and then England, where he met Newton, Flamsteed and Halley and was elected to the Royal Society of London. In 1700, Cassini and his father undertook a project to measure the meridian from Paris to Perpignan.They obtained results that falsely indicated that the Earth was elongated at the poles. In 1713, he proposed a new method for determining longitude based on the eclipses of stars and planets by the moon. Using this method and the data from the 1700 Paris to Perpignan survey, he wanted to prove that the longitude of the Earth's meridian decreases from the equator to the pole. Unfortunately, Cassini clung to this position for the rest of his life and refused to recognise the flattening despite the scientific evidence presented. - The manuscript follows Cassini and his entourage (the astronomer Jean-Dominique Maraldi, the cartographer l'abbé Jean Delagrive, the clock and instrument maker Julien Le Roy and two of his sons) across France. The work is written in neat and legible calligraphy and decorated with two large handwritten maps that accompany the two parts of the manuscript. The printed version of the two texts was presented and published with slight variations at the Académie de Sciences in 1734. Only one of the two maps is present there, the other map is probably unpublished. - Provenance: Germain-Louis Chauvelin (1685-1762), Marquis de Grosbois, was a French politician who served as "garde des sceaux" (keeper of the seals) and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs under Louis XV. In 1727, Chauvelin was put in charge of the department of publishing, printing and censorship and was given the presidency of the seal. His impressive library was sold in Paris in 1762. Our manuscript is listed in the catalogue under no. 2365.- One of probably four existing manuscript copies, three of which are in French public institutions dedicated to the king and other important representatives of the French government.- One map with short tear at fold. - A beautiful and excellently preserved manuscript in a decorative contemporary armorial binding.

Berühmt wurde er mit seinen Arbeiten zu Vögeln, Insekten, Blumen und Kleintieren. In der traditionellen Tuschmalerei ist er für seinen abstrahierenden und sparsamen Stil bekannt geworden. Neben seiner malerischen Arbeit verfasste er zahlreiche Dichtungen, die er den Bildern beigab. 1937 unterrichtete er Malerei an der Pekinger Kunstakademie (vgl. Sullivan/Murphy, Art and Artists of Twentieth-century China, 8/9, Perkins, Encyclopedia of China, 404). Das Album zeigt eindrucksvolle Arbeiten zu Tieren und Pflanzen. - Vorsatz mit Stempel.

In addition to his painterly work, he wrote numerous poems to accompany his paintings. In 1937 he taught painting at the Beijing Academy of Art (see Sullivan/Murphy, Art and Artists of Twentieth-century China, 8/9, Perkins, Encyclopedia of China, 404). The album shows impressive works on animals and plants. - Endpapers with stamp. Slightly browned in the margins. Partly with inconspicuous brown spots.

Architektur - - Friedrich Hitzig. Ausgeführte Bauwerke. 4 Tle. in 1 Bd. (= alles Erschienene). Mit insgesamt 68 Tafeln, davon 25 in farbiger oder getönter Lithographie. Berlin, Ernst und Korn, (um 1850-1862). 2 Titelbll., 10 Bll. Text. Folio (52 x 38 cm). HLdr. d. Zt. mit goldgepr. RTitel und RVergoldung, Marmordeckel, Lederecken und Marmorvorsätze (etwas berieben und bestoßen). Äußerst seltene, vollständige Ausgabe. - Enthält Band 1 u. 2 je mit Supplement. - Erste Ausgabe. - Univ. Cat. Books on Art I, 841. Berlin Kat. 491. - Text in deutscher, englischer und französischer Sprache. - Eine großartige und vollständige Dokumentation der von Friedrich Hitzig (1811-1881) entworfenen Gebäude bis zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung. Jedes der abgebildeten Gebäude wurde tatsächlich gebaut, was das vorliegende Werk zu einer unschätzbaren, architektonischen Dokumentation der vielfältigen klassizistischen Bauten und ihrer Ausstattung macht. Die Bauten wurden im Zweiten Weltkrieg fast alle vollständig zerstört. - "Hitzigs größtes Verdienst lag jedoch im Wohnbau. Um 1845 hatte er zusammen mit Strack einzelne Wohnhäuser im Bereich des Tiergartens, 1847 sein eigenes Haus mit Mietwohnungen unweit vom späteren Königsplatz erbaut. 1852 errichtete er das vornehme Palais des Grafen Pourtalès am Königsplatz, ein Jahr später ein Doppelmiethaus in der Bellevuestraße. Vollendet in seiner klaren, noch völlig an Schinkel orientierten Formensprache war das Haus Stülerstraße 1 (um 1855). Am umfassendsten konnte Hitzig seine architektonischen Ideen 1855-60 in neun zwei-beziehungsweise dreigeschossigen, elegant-wohnlichen Häusern der neu angelegten Viktoriastraße im Tiergarten verwirklichen, für deren Fassaden er sich sehr geschickt und zurückhaltend klassizistischer und renaissancistischer Elemente bediente." (NDB IX, 274). - Teils etwas braunfleckig. Einige Textbll. gebräunt. Insgesamt sehr schön erhaltenes Exemplar des seltenen Werks. 4 pts. in 1 vol. (=all published) With a total of 68 plates, of which 25 in toned or colour lithography. Cont. half leather with gilt title on spine (slightly rubbed and bumped). - Contains two parts and their supplements. First edition. With text in German, English and French. - A magnificent complete architectural record up to the date of publication of the buildings designed by Hitzig (1811-1881). Each of the buildings depicted was actually constructed, thereby creating an invaluable record of the varied neo-classical structures and their appointments that were almost all completely destroyed during WW II. "A pupil of both the Architecture and the Applied Crafts Academies in Berlin, Friedrich Hitzig (1811-1881) was trained under Karl Friederich Schinkel and in 1835 in Paris, where he was much influenced by the works of Charles Percier and Pierre Leonard Fontaine. Hitzig's efforts to integrate Italian, and later French, Renaissance elements into the neoclassical framework of Schinkel's style were also found in the domestic work of Johannes Strack, Eduard Knoblauch, and other Schinkel pupils; together, they defined Berlin's domestic architectural types.... From the late 1850s Hitzig's designs favor greater plastic elaboration played off against sheer wall surfaces and draw on a broader historical range; he introduced mansard roofs and certain baroque motifs as in the Kronenberg Palace, Warsaw (1866-1870)." (Bary Bergdoll in: Macmillan Encyclopedia of Architects, II, p. 395) - Partly somewhat brownstained. Some text pages browned. Overall a very beautifully preserved copy of this rare work.

The Manual of Birds was a large-size comprehensive compendium comprising pictorial representations of 360 birds, each image accompanied by a title slip designating the bird illustrated and paired with a textual description written in regular script (kaishu), such as exemplified in this lot and the next lot. The album which disappeared at the end of the Qing dynasty, was notable for its ambitious size, meticulously accurate illustrations, and long texts that combine historical references with rigorous mensuration and details gained from close observation. The album was painted by Jiang Tingxi 蔣廷錫 (1669-1732) for the Kangxi emperor in around 1721/1722. The Qianlong Emperor's catalogue of art in the imperial collection, the Precious Records of the Stone Moat (石渠寶笈, Shiqubaoji), first records the Manual of Birds and lists that a total of 360 birds illustrations were paired with descriptive texts by the scholar Wang Tubing 王圖炳 (1668-1743), a poet and artist who specialised in representations of the natural world. Because of the unusually large format of each leaf and comprehensive nature of the work, it was organised into twelve separate albums each comprising thirty birds, each image carefully numbered in black ink on the back of the mount, corresponding with the album and leaf numbers. As demonstrated on this image of a cockatoo, great attention was given to representing the distinctive physiognomy of each bird and the accurate coloration of its coat of feathers. A text cartouche to the right of the painting reveals the name of the bird, in this case a red or salmon-crested cockatoo (Cacatua moluccensis) (yase dinghua xiao bai yingshi 牙色頂花小白鸚鵡), realistically depicted with its textured white coat of feathers and distinctive salmon-coloured crest, prominent black bill and sturdy feet. The cockatoo is perched on a flowering branch, precariously leaning forward while looking directly at and engaging the viewer with a lively black eye, the bill ever so slightly open. During the Tang dynasty, exotic parakeets, lories, and cockatoos arrived at the Chinese court as tributes and gifts, and became popular at court where they were kept in aviaries and gardens.In 1751, a copy of the Niao Pu was commissioned by the Qianlong emperor. Executed by Zhang Weibang 張維邦 (ca. 1725-1775) and Yu Sheng 余省 (1692-1767), it is a direct or close copy or facsimile (摹本, moben) of the original album and today is in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei. The corresponding illustration of the salmon-crested cockatoo can be found in album two, accession number 故畫003600N000000017 (Fig. 1).Very few leaves from the Niao Pu have come to the market. More recently, five leaves depicting various birds including a phoenix, the first leaf of the album bearing seven Imperial seals of the Qianlong emperor, was sold in Sotheby's Hong Kong, 6 April 2023, lot 2575.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
