Nathaniel Hughes John Baird R.O.I. (1865-1936), Rural scene with figure and two horses, monogrammed, watercolour, 19.5 x 33.5cm.; 7.75 x 13.25in. * Nathaniel Hughes John Baird (1865-1935) was born in Yetholm in Roxburghshire and was the son of John Baird the minister who is famed for his work in reforming the gypsy population and particularly for the founding of the first 'Ragged Schools'. Baird first studied under his father and then at the Coldstream Academy, Edinburgh, then London and later Paris. He had his first Royal Academy work accepted in 1883 and exhibited at many of the principal galleries from that date including the R.O.I. of which he was elected a member. He was equally at home with both oil and watercolour and a favourite subject was the heavy horse at work. He continued to exhibit until the 1930's. He moved to Devon in 1880 living at Dawlish where he was given an interesting commission by the Miller family of Torquay to paint portraits of the family. One of the sitters was the youngest daughter Agatha who was to gain worldwide fame as the crime writer Agatha Christie. Following the death of his wife in 1919 he moved from Devon to Sussex where he died in 1935. Condition report: see terms and conditions

Spazi bianchi per iniziali, con letterine guida. Ãncora aldina alla carta aaAA1r . Altra marca aldina al verso della carta ÏÏSS4. Esemplare in buono stato di conservazione, accuratamente rinfrescato. Legatura ottocentesca in marocchino rosso a grana lunga, piatti decorati da una doppia cornice delimitata da triplice filetto a secco; al centro dei piatti stemma in oro del Comte de Bruce (1781-1860). Dorso a quattro nervi, scomparti delimitati da cornice a doppio filetto impressa a secco, al secondo scomparto nome dellâautore, del tipografo e data di stampa impressi in oro. Labbri dei piatti decorati in oro, dentelles interne, tagli dorati. Contropiatti e sguardie in carta decorata a pettine. Al contropiatto anteriore ex libris inciso della âBibliotheque du Chateau dâHarzillemontâ del conte di Bruce. Annotazioni marginali di antica mano in greco e latino, visibili solo con la lampada di Wood. Editio princeps dei Îόγοι ἐννέα (Historiae libri novem) di Erodoto: fino allâaldina, Erodoto era stato accessibile solo nella traduzione latina curata da Lorenzo Valla su richiesta di Niccolò v, e impressa per la prima volta a Venezia nel 1474 (Goff H-88). âHerodotus is the heir of those intellectual attitudes which inspired the archaic adventure epic (the Odyssey, the Herakleiai, the Argonautika, the Arimaspeia) and the first prose work on geographyâ (A Commentary on Herodotus Books i-iv, p. 14). Il volume si apre con la lettera di dedica di Aldo al âdottissimoâ Giovanni Planza dei Ruffinoni, noto come Calphurnius (1443-1503). Manuzio rivendica con forza â richiamandosi a Quintiliano - lâimportanza e il valore documentario di Erodoto, contro coloro che ne avevano messo in dubbio la credibilità , tratti in inganno dallo stile novellistico e dal gusto per il âmeravigliosoâ. Riguardo al testo, Aldo afferma di aver proceduto alla collazione di diversi codici, senza però fornire indicazioni sulla loro provenienza. Importante è, però, il riferimento a quelle decem charta in più rinvenute nel libro intitolato Clio, non incluse nella versione del Valla. Particolare che porta a individuare il manoscritto utilizzato nella più antica famiglia âfiorentinaâ, e non di quella âromanaâ a cui appartengono i codici vaticani usati dal Valla. Renouard, 35.8; Ahmanson-Murphy, 62.
