Pierre (or Pieter) Mortier was born in Amsterdam, but lived and worked in Paris for various cartographical publishers from 1681 to 1685.

'The two hemispheres are drawn on an enlarged scale, engraved with distinction, and usually printed on heavy quality paper. The limited decoration enhances the overall effect: at the top cherubs with flowing banners are seated astride dolphins and support the arms of France.

A major figure in American food and dining circles, Shircliffe is best known for the Edgewater Beach Hotel Salad Book, published in 1926, and for his large collection of early culinary printed books and manuscripts which was sold after his death in 1952. H. B. Meeks' preface to the sale catalogue describes him as 'an early and avid albeit a well-informed and discriminating collector. His every selection should stand as personally endorsed by one of the great epicures of our day'. His collection of some 14,000 menus was donated to the New York Historical Society.Together with the sheer number and variety of receipts, what is also striking about this volume is the inclusion of at least eight remedies for cholera, contemporary with the epidemic of 1853-1854. The years 1846-1860 saw the third worldwide cholera pandemic and the 1853 outbreak claimed 10,000 lives in London alone. An extract from the London News, 19 November 1853 written out in this volume reads '...during the time the cholera was at its height here I was suddenly attacked with violent pains in the bowels which I succeeded in removing after taking in about thirty minutes three doses of the above... This was not the only cure that came under my immediate knowledge during the trying time the pestilence was here among us...', another urges that on the onset of symptoms one should '...send off for medical men immediately... people disregard the incipient stage and then the Disease often soon becomes too powerful to counteract by medicine...'.Provenance: Arnold Shircliffe, bookplate; sale of his cookery book collection, Parke-Bernet Galleries, New York, 9 and 10 November 1954, lot 434.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The marriage of his parents in 1850, Mary Ann Alexander (1815-1913) of Goldrood House, Belstead, Suffolk and draper Henry Shewell Corder (1814-1912) of Ipswich, brought together two well-established and respected East Anglian Quaker families; the Alexanders, wealthy Quaker bankers, and the Corders, family of educationalist and Quaker biographer Susanna Corder, who also had connections to the Gurneys of Norfolk (indeed, a J.J. Gurney is credited here with a recipe for 'Rögröd. 'The Crowning dish of Scandinavia''). Mary Ann and her family were the subject of several photographs by relative and pioneer of photography Richard Dykes Alexander in the late 1850's. This collection of family recipes appears to date from the early years of the Alexander banking dynasty and may well have come from the household of Samuel Alexander, who founded the Needham Market Bank in 1744. With a number of branches throughout the county, it eventually became one of the banks merged to form Barclay & Co. in 1896. Life at the Alexander family home, Goldrood, was depicted in a series of charming watercolours by Mary Ann painted between 1840-50 and published in 2013 by her great granddaughter (Joan Jackman, Goldrood: The History of a Quaker Family), including such scenes as Miss Fisk in the back kitchen preparing food and Miss Dawson in the pantry, the larder and the bacon closet.Provenance: Alexander family of Suffolk, thence by descent to Henry Corder.

It was in the early eighteenth century that English cookery books began including table plans as well as 'bills of fare' in their pages, influenced possibly by seventeenth-century French writers such as François Massialot and Nicolas de Bonnefons. According to Fiona Lucraft in her paper 'The Fine Art of Eighteenth-Century Table Layouts' (The Meal: Proceedings of the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery, 2001, ed. Harlam Walker, p.167-73), the first English cookery book to depict how a table should be laid à la française seems to be Henry Howard's England's Newest Way of 1708. The popularity of this more formal table plan increased and by 1747, 'when Hannah Glasse declared in The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy that she thought it an impertinence 'to direct a Lady how to set out her Table' she chose to stand out from the crowd of eighteenth-century cookery writers who clearly believed it was pertinent.' (Lucraft, p.165). The decorative borders in our book may also be a nod to Martha Bradley's The British Housewife of 1756 which included a 'decorative edging on the page which adds to the attractive design and seems very feminine in comparison to the strict linear arrangement of previous layouts' (Lacroft, p.171). In our volume, as was common practice, there are two courses comprising savoury and sweet dishes on the table together, with three sizes of plates relating to the type of dish being served demonstrating symmetry and a clear hierarchy of recipes, the lesser ones being placed at the corners. Our first course has a centrepiece dish of 'Beef Royall' surrounded by dishes such as a 'Lamb Pye' and 'Sheeps Tongues a la Mode', the second course comprising 'Tartes and Custards', 'Ducks and Geese', and 'Hartichokes'. A great pie or a sallamagundy could be a suitable addition, and our book contains a receipe for 'A Salamgundy' comprising chicken, rabbit and veal ('...this is proper for a second course side dish or middle dish for supper...'). Several of our recipes helpfully indicate where they should be placed on the table ('a genteel side dish' or 'serve it for a pretty side dish to your Ladyships Table') and how they should be presented to best effect ('Garnish with horse raddish, pickles barberries and shred lemon'), and are written in a clear, friendly style (in one recipe, for example, the writer apologises for repeating an instruction, saying 'I forgott I told you before...').This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The very elaborate perspective figures were designed by the master goldsmith Hans or Johannes Lencker (1523-1585), and engraved by his colleague Matthias Zündt. Lencker was the eldest of a dynasty of goldsmiths and engravers from Nuremberg. He worked in many fields, including the design of tableware, glass cutting and the art of bookbinding, helping to inspire a whole generation of 'perspective' artists, including the renowned Jamnitzer.The Perspectiva literaria is extremely scarce, only two or three copies recorded as having sold at auction in the post-war period. USTC and World Cat locate a total of 8 copies, all in European institutions, mostly in Germany. The present copy, uniquely hand-coloured, contains 21 plates (of 22, a geometric figure plate is missing), comprising a frontispiece using the letters of the word 'perspectiva', 12 plates of intricate letters of the alphabet in various perspective arrangements, and 8 plates of geometric figures.
