    There is an anonymous biographical memoir of Hingston at the beginning of the book, written in a rather florid, late Victorian style. It is recorded here that she died in a tragic boating accident in 1907. In fact, her death was the result of a suicide pact, agreed with her fiancee Shirley Davidson, the son of Sir Charles Peers Davidson, Chief Justice of the Quebec Supreme Court. He refused to allow the marriage, as Aileen was a Roman Catholic. Ironically, in 1912, another son, Thornton Davidson - Shirley's older brother, was to die on the Titanic.

  • Signed by the engraver to the printer Charles Wittman
    PIUS X Pontifex Maximus by BURNEY Eugène after GAILLARD Ferdinand.
    BURNEY Eugène after GAILLARD Ferdinand.
    PIUS X Pontifex Maximus

    Paris: Charles Wittman. A large and attractive engraving of Pope Pius X (Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto) Circa 1903. It is signed to the engraving "a monsieur Ch Wittmann, cordialement E Burney." To the base of the sheet, and in the same (or very similar) hand is written "gravée par Burnay, aprés C Gaillard." This is problematic. We can find no copies of this engraving online, but Burney and Gaillard often worked together, and Gaillard was Burney's teacher. BUT Gaillard died in 1887, years before the Elevation of Sarto to the Papacy. This work uses an identical frame / surround to Gaillard's portrait of Pius IX, which made his name. (obviouisly the name panel has been updated). We suspect that Burney…

We can find no copies of this engraving online, but Burney and Gaillard often worked together, and Gaillard was Burney's teacher. BUT Gaillard died in 1887, years before the Elevation of Sarto to the Papacy. This work uses an identical frame / surround to Gaillard's portrait of Pius IX, which made his name. (obviouisly the name panel has been updated). We suspect that Burney is paying homage to his tutor, in the use and credit of the frame and style. The engraving is in very good condition, with a good, deep impression. There is a little foxing to the edges of the sheet, and a couple of very small tears to the page edge. Francois Eugéne Burney (1845-1907) was a French engraver and illustrator. Ferdinand Gaillard (1834-1887). Chrales Wittmann was a Parisian Intaglio printer. He often worked with Burney, and presumably was also the printer of this sheet, which Burney has signed for him. Engraved panel is 49cm x 34cm. The sheet is 62cm x 46cm. First Edition.

    . Une grande et belle gravure du pape Pie X (Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto) datant de 1903. Elle est signée sur la gravure "a monsieur Ch Wittmann, cordialement E Burney". Au bas de la feuille, et de la même main (ou d'une main très similaire), est écrit "gravée par Burnay, aprés C Gaillard". Cette mention est problématique. Nous n'avons trouvé aucune copie de cette gravure en ligne, mais Burney et Gaillard ont souvent travaillé ensemble, et Gaillard était le professeur de Burney. MAIS Gaillard est mort en 1887, des années avant l'élévation de Sarto à la papauté. Cette œuvre utilise un cadre identique au portrait de Pie IX de Gaillard, qui a fait sa renommée. (évidemment, le panneau du nom a été mis à jour). Nous soupçonnons que Burney rend hommage à son tuteur, dans l'utilisation et la reconnaissance du cadre et du style. La gravure est en très bon état, avec une bonne impression profonde. Il y a un peu de rousseur sur les bords de la feuille, et quelques très petites déchirures sur le bord de la page. François Eugène Burney (1845-1907) était un graveur et illustrateur français. Ferdinand Gaillard (1834-1887). Chrales Wittmann était un imprimeur en taille-douce parisien. Il a souvent travaillé avec Burney, et a probablement été l'imprimeur de cette feuille, que Burney a signée pour lui. Le panneau gravé mesure 49 cm x 34 cm. La feuille mesure 62 cm x 46 cm. Première édition.

    Antwerp: Sadeler / Sadler, C1585. A lovely engraving from the series Vita Christi / The Life of Christ after Maarten de Vos. This is plate 5.

Title (end papers look newer, although still quite old), dedication, imprimatur, author note, subject index, twenty sermons, biblical index, index of notable things, printer's register. NB - the text is entirely in Italian. The publisher's paper boards have a few minor stains to them. The spine is new, and is in "as new" condition. The end papers (and inside board lining) looks newer, but has a watermark of a bird on three mountains. I have traced this back to three items, all bound in Italy between 1650 and 1690 - so they probably are original. The title page has some darkening / foxing to it, the rest of the pages have a touch of darkening / marking. The binding has slightly cracked to register +, but is still holding well. A couple of the pages have closed tears, where they have strained to the binding, and the rear end paper has a loss of about 1 inch square. Otherwise sound. There is only one copy recorded at Copac (BL). There are a small number held in Italy. At the time of writing this, there are no other copies available, and none recently sold. There is a digitised copy of part of a first edition (up to p 184) (held at the Bavarian State Library). This has an ornate additional page (in the style of a title). I believe this is a later large bookplate. There are two reasons for this. Although the digitisation makes it hard to certain, this looks like a steel engraving, it is certainly in a different style to any of the woodcuts. Additionally, my copy, which is complete, has its complete register, and so is not lacking any pages. [xvi], 1-512, i-xxvii pp. 23cm x 17cm Première édition. Plats d'édition originaux recouverts de papier. Dos récent en percaline. Titre sur une étiquette papier au dos. Le livre contient quarante sermons de Mattioli. Il existe de nombreuses vignettes gravées sur bois, des chapiteaux historiés et d'autres dessins. Titre (les pages paraissent plus récentes, quoique encore assez anciennes), dédicace, imprimatur, note de l'auteur, index des sujets, vingt sermons, index biblique, index des choses notables, registre de l'imprimeur. NB - le texte est entièrement en italien. Les cartons de l'éditeur présentent quelques taches mineures. Le dos est neuf et est dans un état "comme neuf". Les papiers de garde (et la doublure intérieure du carton) ont l'air plus récents, mais ont un filigrane d'un oiseau sur trois montagnes. J'ai retracé cela jusqu'à trois objets, tous reliés en Italie entre 1650 et 1690 - ils sont donc probablement originaux. La page de titre présente des assombrissements / rousseurs, le reste des pages a une touche d'assombrissement / marquage. La reliure s'est légèrement craquelée au registre +, mais tient toujours bien. Quelques pages ont des déchirures fermées, où elles ont tendu à la reliure, et le papier de fin arrière a une perte d'environ 1 pouce carré. Sinon le son. Il n'y a qu'un seul exemplaire enregistré chez Copac (BL). Il y en a un petit nombre détenu en Italie. Au moment d'écrire ces lignes, il n'y a pas d'autres exemplaires disponibles et aucun n'a été vendu récemment. Il existe une copie numérisée d'une partie d'une première édition (jusqu'à la p 184) (conservée à la Bibliothèque d'État de Bavière). Cela a une page supplémentaire ornée (dans le style d'un titre). Je crois qu'il s'agit d'un grand ex-libris ultérieur. Il y a deux raisons à cela. Bien que la numérisation rende difficile à certains, cela ressemble à une gravure sur acier, c'est certainement dans un style différent de l'une des gravures sur bois. De plus, mon exemplaire, qui est complet, a son registre complet et ne manque donc pas de pages. [xvi], 1-512, i-xxvii pp. 23cm x 17cm

Le musée d'art Havard indique seulement qu'il s'agit d'une gravure du XVIIe siècle et cite les catalogues Hollstein 172 ; LeBlanc 13 ; Andresen 5. Nous soupçonnons qu'il s'agit d'une gravure plus tardive, car il n'y a pas de détails sur le graveur et l'artiste. De plus, l'image est inversée, de sorte que la Madone et l'enfant admirent une fontaine à droite plutôt qu'à gauche. Un très bel exemplaire propre, avec une bonne impression. Conservé dans une pochette de film d'archivage sous un grand passe partout. La gravure mesure 22 cm x 18 cm. Le Passe Partout mesure 50cm x 40cm. Il y a une petite marque au recto du carton d'art, au verso de la feuille, il y a pas mal de marques (mais cela serait caché lors de l'exposition).

    Lisboa Occidental: Antonio Manescal, 1724. First edition. Regulations and laws on the Missions of the States of Maranhão and Pará and on the freedom of indigenous peoples. This is a curious item. Published as part of a gathering together of laws regarding indigenous peoples and printed at the wishes of King João V. This codified volume was printed with 86 pages. Here is bound up the title page, with the large vignette showing the arms of the royal family of Portugal. It also contains a leaf (two pages) of the instructions from the king to publish the laws. Then is presented the first of these laws, The "Regimento das Missões" (1686) (Pages 1-16 of the codified text). This granted missionaries (particularly Jesuits and Dominicans), temporal and spiritual authority over indigenous aldeias (villages). It regulated "descimentos" (forced relocations of natives to missions), prohibited white settlers from residing in aldeias, and prohibited any non native from entering the villages and removing the villages for service (ie. slavery). This was an effort to protect the natives of Brazil and Maranhão from the abuses of the temporal powers. The governor had expelled the Jesuits, and in this law, he was instructed to allow and facilitate their return. In the copy presented here, the king's instructions are bound at the rear of the book (in the codified volume it is present to the front, immediately after the title). When compared to the copy held at the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, our copy is identical in collation (ie signatures are exactly the same), with the exception that the final leaf (page 16) in the BNP copy has the catchword "Tras-" printed to the bottom edge, and followed on page 17 by "Traslado." Although our copy has all other catchwords, this last one has either NOT been printed or has been rubbed away very carefully. Recent black cloth hardback. This is in very good, clean condition. The pages inside are mainly bright and clean. The title page has some darkening and staining, and has a (slightly faint) manuscript annotation to the top of the page, outlining the dates of the original law. Most of the pages have small archival tape repairs to the top edge. The final leaf (instructions for printing) has more extensive archival repair. Overall in good condition. pagination: [pi1], A-B7 [pi²]. 29.5cm x 20cm. Conforms to the first part of WorldCat / OCLC: 84632059. No copies (of either full or this version) available for sale or in auction records.

    . Première édition. Réglementations et lois relatives aux missions des États de Maranhão et du Pará et à la liberté des peuples autochtones. Il s'agit d'un ouvrage curieux. Publié dans le cadre d'un recueil de lois concernant les peuples autochtones et imprimé à la demande du roi João V, ce volume codifié compte 86 pages. Il comprend la page de titre, avec une grande vignette représentant les armoiries de la famille royale du Portugal. Il contient également une feuille (deux pages) contenant les instructions du roi pour la publication des lois. Vient ensuite la première de ces lois, le « Regimento das Missões » (1686) (pages 1 à 16 du texte codifié). Elle accordait aux missionnaires (en particulier aux jésuites et aux dominicains) une autorité temporelle et spirituelle sur les aldeias (villages) indigènes. Elle réglementait les « descimentos » (déplacements forcés des indigènes vers les missions), interdisait aux colons blancs de résider dans les aldeias et interdisait à tout non-indigène d'entrer dans les villages et d'en faire sortir les habitants pour les mettre au service (c'est-à-dire les réduire en esclavage). Il s'agissait d'un effort visant à protéger les indigènes du Brésil et du Maranhão contre les abus des pouvoirs temporels. Le gouverneur avait expulsé les jésuites et, dans cette loi, il recevait l'ordre d'autoriser et de faciliter leur retour. Dans l'exemplaire présenté ici, les instructions du roi sont reliées à la fin du livre (dans le volume codifié, elles se trouvent au début, immédiatement après le titre). Par rapport à l'exemplaire conservé à la Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, notre exemplaire est identique en termes de collation (c'est-à-dire que les signatures sont exactement les mêmes), à l'exception de la dernière feuille (page 16) de l'exemplaire de la BNP, qui comporte le mot-clé « Tras- » imprimé en bas de page, suivi de « Traslado » à la page 17. Bien que notre exemplaire comporte tous les autres mots-clés, ce dernier n'a soit PAS été imprimé, soit été effacé très soigneusement. Reliure récente en tissu noir. Elle est en très bon état, propre. Les pages à l'intérieur sont principalement claires et propres. La page de titre présente quelques traces de noircissement et de taches, ainsi qu'une annotation manuscrite (légèrement effacée) en haut de la page, indiquant les dates de la loi originale. La plupart des pages présentent de petites réparations à l'aide de ruban adhésif d'archivage sur le bord supérieur. La dernière feuille (instructions d'impression) a fait l'objet de réparations d'archivage plus importantes. Dans l'ensemble, l'ouvrage est en bon état. Pagination : [pi1], A-B7 [pi²]. 29,5 cm x 20 cm. Conforme à la première partie de WorldCat / OCLC : 84632059. Aucun exemplaire (ni de la version complète ni de cette version) n'est disponible à la vente ou dans les registres d'enchères.
