nebst Bemerkung 1ten Der Numeren ihrer Wohnhäuser der Ordnung nach. 2tens. Deren Namen nach Alphabetischer Ordnung. 3tens/ Eines Gewerb- und Handlungs-Register gemäs erhaltener Angabe. 4tens. Register deren Strassen. 5tens. Einem Genauen ganz neu von Herrn Cardon in Brüssel verfertigtem Grundris dieser Stadt. Cologne, printed by Thiriart Und Compagnie für Metternichischen Buch-Handlung, 1797, (8),414 p., w. fold. engr. plan, rebacked w. use of the orig. ribbed and gilt halfleather and free endpapers, modern boards and pastedowns. Some minor defects/ imperfections, but a good copy. Very rare and early address book of Cologne, listing 7404 citizens in order of the streets, with their professions. The work indexes the population of the city in 3 different ways, on address, name and profession. Probably the second or third edition (the first one appeared in 1795 and did not mention the professions of the citizens). Worldcat mentions a single copy in the The Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, by Thiriart und Compagnie, supposedly printed in 1747 but this date is almost certainly erroneous. Also listed on Worldcat are copies of an edition in magazine-form (1794-1798). Otherwise just a few copies (or one copy listed by var. sellers, without the plan) traced. Our edition contains the first mention of the later Eau de Cologne-maker (Kölnisch Wasser) Wilhelm Mülhens, under number 4711 in the Klöckergasse (Glockengasse). It also mentions other producers of Eau de Cologne (incl. Joh. Anton Farina), sculptors of the Imhoff family, printers and booksellers, printmakers, coffee producers- and houses, tobacco-dealers, wine-dealers, makers of musical instriments, jewellers, watchmakers, weapon-makers, etc. etc.

A collection of 41 beautiful chromo-lithographs of different horse breeds produced after paintings by the famous Groninger animal painter Eerelman (1839-1926). The lithographs resemble oil paintings, thanks to a very expensive printing procedure which gives the surface of the prints an oily expression. Each lithography accompanied by a 4 page descriptive text printed on laid paper. A list of subscribers is added to this copy. Rare.

N.pl. (Stockhom?), n.publ., n.d. (ca. 1900?). Rare album w. 89 orig. col. gouaches; each gouache w. 2 views of the uniforms. Cl. w. gilt title. 4to. The gouaches are all 15 x 11.5 cm, on light cardboard, and were mounted on blank sheets of another work (according to the mostly scratched out impression: "Axel Rydins Fotogr. Inst., Stockholm").

Binding worn, some sheets loose, some marginal browning, but gouaches themselves in good condition. Fascinating album.

Satirical map of the First World War in Europe. Ryozo Tanaka. Tokyo, Shobido & Co., 1914. 39 x 55 cm. Text in both English and Japanese. Rare Serio-comic map showing the political relations during World War I, shortly after the Chinese Revolution, from the Japanese point of view. This map was designed and printed by Tanaka Ryozo (1874-1946), who ran a print shop in central Tokyo and later became well known for producing prints of works by prominent modern woodblock artists. Although it is described as 'map of the world', it is really a map of Europe, Asia and part of North Africa. The US is interestingly shown as a man in a top hat looking at Asia through a telescope from a small patch of land that appears to be somewhere in the middle of the Pacific. The rest of North and South America and all of Australia and New Zealand are missing. The colourful and decorative map cleverly depicts each country as an animal, or more rarely as a human figure, giving an intriguing insight into Japanese perceptions of the state of the world (and some Japanese prejudices about neighbouring countries!) at the start of World War I.

The map rolled, and w. a few sm. tears and pinholes in blank margins, otherwise fine. Very rare separate edition of the map also published in the booklet Plan statistique des vignobles produisant les grands vins de Bourgogne (...), first published in Beaune in 1861. Not coincidentally, the booklet was published just before the great London world exhibition of 1862. The map is divided in areas w. different colours indicating the vineyards of the 1st, 2nd or 3rd classes.
