This watermark belongs to the well-known French paper maker Jean Villedary who in the middle of the 18th century was employed in France and in Angouleme whose paper was exported to Holland. From 1758 Villedary also had a paper mill in Hattem in Overijssel where he paper produced for the Dutch market.

Armorial Bookplate And Ownership Signature Of Alexander Balmain Bruce Valentine. Per Wikipedia, Sir Alexander (Alec) Balmain Bruce Valentine Ostj Ma (1899 - 1977), Was Chairman Of The London Transport Executive From 1959 To 1963 And Chairman Of The London Transport Board From 1963 To 1965. Valentine Was Educated At Highgate School And Worcester College, Oxford Before Working In The Gas Industry Until 1927. In 1928, He Moved To The Underground Group Where He Worked As Assistant To Its Managing Director Frank Pick. After The Underground Group Was Absorbed Into The London Passenger Transport Board (Lptb) In 1933, He Remained With Pick (Who Became The Lptb's Vice-Chairman) Until 1936. Valentine Then Held A Series Of Senior Management Positions Within The Lptb Including Chief Commercial Officer And Operating Manager (Railways). When The Lptb Was Nationalised In 1948, Valentine Was Made A Member Of The Board Of The London Transport Executive (Lte), The Lptb's Replacement. As Part Of The Board, Valentine Argued For The Abandonment Of Trams In London, Seeing Them As A Major Cause Of Road Congestion, Which Would Be Relieved By The Introduction Of Buses, With The Aesthetic Benefit Of Doing Away With Overhead Wires And The Noisy Operation Of Trams. He Was Also A Member Of The London Plan Working Party Between 1946 And 1948 Which Led Planning For New Transport Routes In The Capital Including The Victoria Line Built In The 1960S And 1970S. He Served On The Lte Board Until 1954 When He Moved To The Board Of The Lte's Parent, The British Transport Commission (Btc). In 1959, While Remaining A Member Of The Btc Board, He Returned To The Lte As Its Chairman And Remained In That Position Until The Lte Was Abolished And Replaced With The London Transport Board Of Which He Was Also Chairman Until He Retired In 1965. Valentine Was A Member Of The Channel Tunnel Study Group From 1957 To 1962 And A Director Of The Channel Tunnel Company From 1956 To 1969.

Interior covers with decorative blue endpaper. -- Front and back cover with the coat of arms of Marie Joséphine of Savoy (1753-1810). -- Very rare armorial binding of a well-known figure of French royalty. || Marie-Joséphine de Savoie was princess of France, and through her marriage to the future king Louis XVIII (Louis Stanislas Xavier, 1755-1824) also a countess of Provence. One notable fact about Marie Joséphine of Savoy is that, despite her position as the wife of Louis XVIII, she never became Queen of France - even though she was regarded as such by Bourbon royalist Legitimists. This is because she passed away in 1810, 4 years before her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVIII in 1814, following the fall of Napoleon and the Bourbon Restoration. Her life was marked by personal and political difficulties. She lived through the tumultuous period of the French Revolution, went into exile with her husband, and spent much of her later life in relative obscurity, moving between different European courts. Marie Joséphine was also known for her frail health and devout Catholic faith, and she reportedly led a somewhat melancholic and reclusive life during her exile. Her marriage to Louis XVIII was famously unhappy, and she was overshadowed by the events of the revolution and the Napoleonic era. Despite this, her connection to both the House of Savoy and the Bourbon dynasty placed her at the center of some of the most important political changes of her time. -- Binding slightly rubbed, otherwise in very good condition. // Wir, das Antiquariat Steffen Völkel, kaufen und verkaufen alte Bücher, Handschriften, Zeichnungen, Autographen, Grafiken und Fotografien.

[10 (misbound)], 284 [i.e. 283 (several mispaginated, some misbound)] [1 (woodcut ill.)]. [Complete]. A scarce Portuguese treatise on astronomy, navigation, and geography, with early references to America and Asia. Manoel de Figueiredo's Chronographia: Reportorio dos Tempos is a comprehensive work compiling astronomical, calendrical, navigational, and geographical knowledge, with references to America and Asia. It follows the tradition of earlier Iberian Reportorio dos Tempos, a type of encyclopedic work or almanac that combined astronomical, calendrical, and astrological knowledge. The book provides detailed descriptions of celestial motions, the structure of the universe, and divisions of time, including religious calendars with saints' feast days. Additionally, it discusses meteorological phenomena, eclipses and their astrological implications, as well as practical information on navigation, tides, and agricultural practices. Intended for a broad readership, it contributed to the widespread popularity of such works (Valleriani 2020). Figueiredo's Reportorio is distinguished by its integration of practical mathematical applications, including instructions on the construction and use of navigational instruments such as the balestilha (cross-staff) and geometric quadrants. His work was essential for pilots, scholars, and mariners, synthesizing practical navigation with theoretical knowledge. The book is structured into six main sections, covering Chronographia (chronology), Astronomia (astronomy), Geographia (geography), Astrologia (astrology), Computo Calendario (calendar calculations), and a sixth book (Do radio astronomico), dedicated to the fabrication and use of mathematical instruments such as the balestilha (cross-staff), a geometric quadrant, and various types of clocks. The text provides detailed solar and lunar cycle tables, designed for practical applications in calendar-making and eclipse prediction up to the year 1630. It explains the determination of longitude and latitude, essential for maritime navigation. Parts 26 are richly illustrated with corresponding woodcuts. The title page of the second part features a large woodcut armillary sphere, and the section is further illustrated with zodiac signs, figural representations of the planets, and other scientific diagrams. This chapter includes a large, nearly full-page world map depicting the classical division of the Earth into five climatic zones (f. 78r). America appears as a distinct landmass in the western hemisphere but is crudely shaped, while Asia is merged with Africa, showing prominent bodies of water on the continents. The Geographia section includes three smaller world maps: the first illustrating wind directions (f. 120v), the second explaining the Earth's spherical shape and its division into hemispheres (f. 128v), and the third likely indicating meridians and reference points (such as the Canary Islands and Cape Verde) for navigation (f. 140r). The Astrologia section contains a full-page illustration of the Zodiac Man, while the Computo Calendario section is illustrated with schematic moon faces representing different eclipse phases. The final section includes illustrations explaining the use of the cross-staff, the quadrant, and sundials. A significant portion of the Reportorio is devoted to geographical descriptions, offering insights into European knowledge of the world in the early 17th century. It describes the four known continents and references major colonial centers in the Americas, Africa, and Asia (ff. 208209). Some charts indicate the start dates of the hottest period of summer (dog days) in major cities worldwide, while others provide location charts based on the Lisbon meridian. America is mentioned on f. 130, stating that the discovery of the New World, driven by royal ambition, revealed vast riches previously unknown to much of the world. The newly explored territories include Brazil, Peru, and the Indies (New Spain). To the north lies Terra Nova (Newfoundland), while to the south, extending to the Strait of Magellan, the text mentions the Caribbean islands, such as Cuba and Santo Domingo. The Río de la Plata region is noted for its wealth in silver, sugar, and other valuable commodities. Additionally, the book references the Amazon River, which flows into the ocean near one degree south of the equator. The text also outlines Asia's borders, islands, and rivers, mentioning Java Minor, Luconia, New Guinea, Ceylon, Mindanao, Borneo, and major rivers such as the Euphrates and Ganges. Asia is described as a fertile land rich in spices, silks, and other goods. It is home to Anatolia, Syria, Arabia, Persia, India, China, and Tartary, with key islands such as the Philippines, Japan, and Sumatra. Manoel de Figueiredo (15681630) was a Portuguese cosmographer, mathematician, and astronomer. His work was deeply influenced by Pedro Nunes, and he contributed significantly to the organization and dissemination of mathematical and navigational knowledge. His work reflects the intellectual transformation of early modern Europe, where empirical observation and practical sciences were gradually overtaking medieval scholastic traditions. He was also known for his Hidrographia (1608) and Roteiro, e Navegação das Índias Ocidentais (1609), one of the first Portuguese roteiroscollections of sailing directionsdetailing voyages from Lisbon to Portuguese outposts in the East and West Indies. Extremely scarce, with only one record on RBH in a 1926 Maggs catalogue. IB locates only 14 copies worldwide, of which nine are held in Portugal, two.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. [Chevrier, François-Antoine]Recueil de ces dames. A Bruxelles.[Paris] aux dépens de la compagnie, 1745. 8vo. xvi + 290p. Late 18th century French red morocco with Talleyrand arms of three crowned lions rampant and motto 'Re Que Diou' gilt-stamped in centres of sides within triple line borders, spine gilt with olive morocco title label, edges gilt, marbled endpapers. First edition of this satire on the frivolity of contemporary society ladies, apparently the earliest book by the acerbic writer and pamphleteer, François-Antoine Chévrier (1721-62), best known for his libellous Le Colporteur (1762) shortly after whose publication he was forced to flee to Holland and was supposedly murdered there. This superbly bound volume is a fine example of the earliest period of book-collecting by Charles Maurice de Talleyrand (1754-1838), celebrated statesman and connoisseur, who used the arms of his father, Charles-Daniel Comte de Perigord (1734-88), to decorate the bindings of only some of his favourite books. A selection from Talleyrand s first library was sold at Sotheby s in 1793 to support himself as a refugee in England; a second, more extensive selection was sold in London in 1816 to pay debts. But most of his books, notably those kept at the library at Valençay, only contained armorial bookplates which makes this volume so special. A unique opportunity to acquire a choice item from Talleyrand's first library which contained only a very few volumes bearing his arms as supra libros. A fine copy elegantly bound in the best tradition of 18th century bibliophily. For the arms of Charles Comte de Talleyrand, father of Charles Maurice, who married Alexandrine-Marie-Victoire-Eleonore de Damas d'Antigny cf: Olivier I, plate 944.
