Manuscript ex-dono on the title page and a holograph letter of the author tipped on to the first fly leaf. Publisher's red half leather binding, blindtooled frontcover with large gilt title. Cloth of binding rather seriously soiled, especially back cover. Some soiling and staining at the first 3 leaves and a heavy stain at page 27, overall still in good condition and an acceptable copy. Rare impressive publication by France's leading civil engineering contractor who played a mayor role in the construction of the French railway system. This is a very early attempt to promote a private company and its achievements by means of a publication which has the looks of an objective scientific description but which was also intended to advertise the company. Nevertheless they executed some projects which were real technological breakthroughs. These are well documented here: the introduction of steam dredgers which could excavate 1500 cubic metres of spoil per day already in 1850; the construction of the Rhine railway bridge at Kehl, a milestone in foundation engineering. Castor used here the compressed air caisson technique on a size and to a depth never used before. Through the whole book emphasis is placed on the efficiency and cost-cutting advantages of the application of the steam-engine in civil engineering projects. Castor was certainly one of the major players on the European continent to realise the transition during the mid -19th century from manpower to machinepower in construction projects. This is the second edition (first in 1860). The number of plates is augmented with 8. New projects described here are e.g. Tubular foundations of a bridge in Argenteuil (Paris-Dieppe railroad). Idem over the Adige river (Padova-Rovigo railroad). Idem over the Rhone in Arles. price: €2500.00 |

The photographs are mounted on stiff board leaves with printed captions and a typographical border. The album is finely preserved but the leaves show nasty and disfiguring foxing spots. Binding: full brown morocco with a large oval embossed design with a human figure and the lettering I.C.G.A. 1872 - 1922. Frontcover with 4 leather studs, further elaborately gold-tooled with finely executed floral ornaments , raised back, edges gilt, endpapers doubled with yellow silk. A truly magnificent binding but unsigned. As the Antwerp station is represented with more pictures than even the London head office we tend to assume that the binding was made in Antwerp . It could well have been made by an Antwerp bookbinder (Laurent Peeters ?) who made similar embossed bindings in brown morocco for commemorative albums during this period. Company history: The Imperial Continental Gas Association was one of the first companies to start gas production on a multinational scale. It arrived for instance in Hannover in 1825 not 10 years after the first commercial exploitation of gas. In 1826 they started gas lighting of the Berlin streets. In 1928 they founded the Belgian company Distrigas, still the main gas distributor in Belgium. price: €1850.00 |

Collation identical to Voet - Plantin item 1578 , Variant B (Part II , III , IV), our index bound in as last part. With 276 woodcut illustrations of plants (of which 5 on loose sheets pasted onto the text.). Bound in contemporary full calf, sprinkled edges, raised gilt back with a small coat of arms (crowned lion) and thrice repeated the initials IOIO (French 16th-17th century binding). Small paper restoration at upper margin of the title leaf (no loss of text) , some old waterstains at inner margin of index and appendix leaves, headcaps and upper joint expertly restored, still a good/fine copy. Matthias De Lobel (Rijsel - Lille 1538 - Highgate-London 1616) studied medecine and botany at Montpellier university with Rondelet. There he befriended Petrus Pena. In 1569 he was in England, where he published the first edition of ''Nova Stirpium Adversaria'' in 1571. It was printed by Thomas Purfoot and Christopher Plantin bought 800 copies (received 556) from him for the sum of 1200 Florins. This explains the place and year of the dedicatio : ''London 1570''. Plantin rearranged the Purfoot edition somewhat and added an appendix (presented as a continuation of the English edition), an index and the Formulæae Rondelletti. The work is complete as such although sometimes it is offered together with Lobelius' ''Plantarvm seu Stirpium Historia'', compiled and published 5 years later (1576). In his exhaustive study on De Lobel and the complicated publication history of his Stirpium (see A. Louis: Mathieu de Lobel, épisode de l'histoire botanique) Louis clearly demonstrates that the editions of 1571 (editio princeps), 1576 (Plantin edition, our copy) and a 1605 edition are all the same and derive from the copies printed in 1571 in London by Purfoot (see pp.215). price: €4800.00 |
