unbound. Lithograph. Image measures 4" x 7". This image shows the east side of 42nd Street in the early stages of its development. Marking some of the northern-most settlement of Manhattan, the area shown here is little more than a shantytown, with small wooden houses built into a rocky terrain. Playing children cavort with scattered livestock such as pigs, goats, and sheep, while the adult residents work with carts and wagons carrying goods. The image appeared in the 1868 edition of Shannon's Manual of the Corporation of the City of New York, an annual compendium of records about city history, city council information, and public works through text, maps, lithographs, and engravings.

523 S., 184 farb. Abb. Lit.verz. Reg. Kart. *neuwertig* The presence of gold, silver, and other metals is a hallmark of decorated manuscripts, the very characteristic that makes them "illuminated." Medieval artists often used metal pigment and leaf to depict metal objects both real and imagined, such as chalices, crosses, tableware, and even idols; the luminosity of these representations contrasted pointedly with the surrounding paints, enriching the page and dazzling the viewer. To elucidate this key artistic tradition, this volume represents the first in-depth scholarly assessment of the depiction of precious-metal objects in manuscripts and the media used to conjure them. From Paris to the Abbasid caliphate, and from Ethiopia to Bruges, the case studies gathered here forge novel approaches to the materiality and pictoriality of illumination. In exploring the semiotic, material, iconographic, and technical dimensions of these manuscripts, the authors reveal the canny ways in which painters generated metallic presence on the page. Illuminating Metalwork is a landmark contribution to the study of the medieval book and its visual and embodied reception, and is poised to be a staple of research in art history and manuscript studies, accessible to undergraduates and specialists alike.

hardcover. View. Lithograph. 8 1/2" x 12". This view depicts an early image of what would be the Brooklyn Bridge, the first bridge across the East River from Manhattan to Brooklyn. Folds as issued and some stains, otherwise in good condition. It comes from the 1869 edition the "Manual of the Corporation of the City of New York," which was one of the two manuals published by the New York City Common Council, issued by Joseph Shannon, clerk of the council in 1868 and 1869. The "Manuals of the Corporation" were directories of extensive historical and contemporary records of New York first compiled by D.T. Valentine. These books include detailed information on the meetings of the Aldermen Council, ordinances passed, public officials, the city's debts, directories of hospitals, alms houses and schools, ferry schedules, lists of public porters, demographics and census information, and descriptions of historic buildings and streets. Much of the information was gleaned from Dutch and English sources, as processed by Valentine. By this late date in the publishing of the manuals - the first was released in 1841 and the last in 1870 - the volumes had become extremely lavish, filled with illustrated and full-color folding maps. The 1869 edition is no exception, as it is illustrated throughout with lithographs and engravings of important city landmarks and personalities. There are a number of fold-out maps, including a "Map of the City of New York Showing its Political Divisions and Subdivisions" from August 1869 at the front of the volume. D.T. Valentine (1801-1869) served as the Deputy to the Clerk of the Common Council for thirty-seven years and took it upon himself to compile the "Manuals", which he updated and published annually from 1841-1866. Joseph Shannon succeeded Valentine as Clerk and published the manuals for 1868 and 1869. It is an excellent source of early New York City history, and this view of the Brooklyn Bridge before it was completed in 1883 is a principal facet of that.

unbound. Color lithograph. Measures 8.5" x 10.25" This is an unusual 1868 republication of Thomas Kitchin's 1778 map of New York City and surroundings during the American Revolutionary War. Originally published in The London Magazine, it features the whole of Manhattan as well as western Long Island (part of Brooklyn and Queens today), southwestern Westchester County, and New Jersey along the Hudson. Incredibly detailed, it notes topographical features, roads, areas of settlement, fortifications, and forts. The City of New York extends from to the southern tip of Manhattan to today's City Hall, depicting the relatively small city at the time. Thomas Kitchin (1719-1784) was an English engraver and map-maker. His maps and atlases of England earned him the position of hydrographer to the King. This large map of Poland is an impressive example of his work.

unbound. Map. Color lithograph. Image measures 14.5" x 24". This incredible 1868 map of Upper Manhattan illustrate the early stages of the American Revolutionary War, specifically the Battle of Harlem Heights. The map shows Upper Manhattan from 81st Street to Fort George and includes the Upper East and West Sides, Morningside Heights, Inwood, Harlem and Washington Heights. Topography and geographical features shown in extensive detail with relief in hachures. Shows street grids, parks, notable buildings, docks, tunnels, waterways and swampland. Central Park is not delineated. The Battle of Harlem Heights was fought during the 1776 New York and New Jersey campaigns of the American Revolutionary War in what is today the Morningside Heights neighborhood. After being defeated in the Battle of Long Island, Washington held a few high ground positions in the northern parts of Manhattan and galvanized his troops against the superior British attackers. The Americans managed to push back the British, resulting in Washington's first battlefield victory of the war. He would however be forced to withdraw from New York later that year. The map indicates colors illustrating the British and American positions in red and blue respectively. A key near the bottom locates the Americans and British troops and the line of march for each. The map is in good condition with some foxing and verso repair along a tear near the left border and original fold lines.
