GW, 2333. Goff, A-958. Sander I 580. Essling I 2,2 1163.First printed edition of Aristophanes, comprising Plutus, Nebulae, Ranae, Equites, Acharnes, Vespae, Pax and Contionantes in the recension of the fourteenth-century Byzantine scholar Demetrios Triklinios, and one of the most important productions of the Aldine Press. Aldus was the first to found his career on the publication of Greek texts, printing more of the editiones principes of the major Greek classics than any other printer. The editor was the Greek humanist Marcus Musurus who also wrote the preface on the reasons for studying Greek and the stylistic beauty of Aristophanes. Aldus' dedication to Daniele Clario, teacher of classical languages in Ragusa, commends the plays of Aristophanes as necessary for pupils to immerse themselves in pure Greek, in the way that Terence serves for Latin.One of the greatest English book and manuscript collectors, Sir Thomas Philipps began collecting while still at Rugby School and continued at Oxford. According to A. N. L. Munby he acquired about 40,000 printed books and 60,000 manuscripts, arguably the largest collection created by a single individual.

![Glaisher (James, 1809-1903) [and Glaisher, Cecilia Louisa, 1828-1892]. Snow Crystals, Observed by James Glaisher, Esq., F.R.S](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/dd84a124-1580-49ca-a704-b13201270f77/85d4c22c-c229-487c-9f4a-b16200a93671/468x382.jpg)
Glaisher (James, 1809-1903) [and Glaisher, Cecilia Louisa, 1828-1892]. Snow Crystals, Observed by James Glaisher, Esq., F.R.S., from February 8th to March 10th, 1855, no place, [1855], letterpress drop-title and 63 wood-engraved monochrome plates printed individually in black, blue, brown, green or grey on rectos of thin card, images 75 x 75 mm, three ownership inscriptions to title, P[eter] Le Neve Foster, W[illiam] B[olger] Gibbs (in pencil) and Michael K[ingsley] Williams, sepia half-tone illustration of ‘Spray Ridges of Ice’ after a photograph by Herbert Ponting bound before title, all edges gilt, early 20th-century green morocco gilt by Zaehnsdorf (dated 1907), slightly rubbed, spine browned, 8voQTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Peter Le Neve Foster (1809-1879) was an English barrister and mathematician. He is known as an innovative secretary of the Royal Society of Arts. Foster was an early amateur photographer, and was one of the founders of the Photographic Society and a pioneer photographer of the Calotype Club. He was a contributor to scientific and technical journals; in the Journal of the Society of Arts he wrote a good deal, but generally anonymously. He would have crossed paths with Glaisher at scientific meetings.One of his sons was Sir Clement le Neve Foster FRS (1841-1904), an English geologist and mineralogist.William Bolger Gibbs FRAS (1834-1925), was a Member of the Stock Exchange, but took a great deal of interest in astronomy, mathematics, microscopy and geology. He would have come into contact with the Foster family through shared scientific interests and related society meetings.Michael Kingsley Williams (1929-1958) switched from studying engineering to medicine while at Merton College, Oxford. He worked as a GP in Surrey for most of his life. The address given by him on the title-page is 12 Tower Park, Fowey, where his father was a vicar.Christie’s New York sold an identical set (loosely contained in a box) for USD 20,160 (27 January 2023, lot 35). Their suggestion that it was perhaps a unique set is now clearly incorrect but no other sets beyond these two have been located.As part a ‘Wonders of the Microscope’ soirée held by the [Royal] Microscopical Society of London on 11 April 1855 James Glaisher presented a special exhibition of photographs depicting snow crystals. Preparation for the exhibition was undertaken in collaboration with his wife, Cecilia Louisa Glaisher, a photographer and printer who redrew the observations for publication. During his presidency, the R.M.S. was granted a Charter and one of the Glaishers' magnified snowflakes was selected to be the Society’s official emblem, and remains so today.‘At the same time as making her photogenic drawings of ferns, Cecilia Glaisher was working with her husband, James Glaisher, superintendent of the Meteorological and Magnetic Department at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, on a study of snow crystals.Their observations, made through lenses of different power, resulted in an important scientific paper, 'On the Severe Weather at the beginning of the year 1855; and on Snow and Snow-Crystals'. It was read by James Glaisher at the Fifth Annual General Meeting of the British Meteorological Society on May 22nd, 1855, and was subsequently published by the Society in their 5th Annual Report.The paper was illustrated by 151 reproductions of precise schematic drawings of snow crystal forms which, Glaisher wrote, ‘were executed by Mrs Glaisher from rough sketches of my own.’ These illustrations have been described as ‘the most accurate observations published before the development of photomicrography.’’ (Ceciliaglaisher.com)The first four pages of Glaisher’s paper (including title-page with decorative rule) contain 88 numbered black and white illustrations of snow crystals reproduced at a diameter of 2 cm each. Glaisher wrote that ‘the greater number [of snowflakes] fell during the present year (1855), and before Feb. 8’ and that they had been observed through ‘a lens of very moderate power’, adding that ‘they are chiefly valuable as showing the general effect to the naked eye.’ These are followed by 63 crystals [as in the lot offered here] seen more greatly magnified, often examined under a microscope, the result of observations on 8 days between 8 February and 10 March. They were reproduced two to a page at a diameter of 7.5 cm and were ‘selected rather as varieties illustrative of a class, than for any special symmetry of form’.

Shanghai. Stanfords (publisher), Plan of Shanghai, published under Authority of the Municipal Council, 1928, colour printed lithographic map, sectionalised and laid on linen, printed table of explanation highlighting the drainage and creek system, facsimile signature of the Commissioner of Public Works, 820 x 1620 mm, bound in contemporary morocco with gilt title to the spine, slight wear to extremities, supplied with six sheets of personal notes and the career progression of Noel William Bailey Clarke M. Eng, M. Inst C. E., together with a contemporary photograph (with a pencil signature of the photographer) of Noel Clarke measuring 170 x 110 mm, tipped onto thin card and presented in a contemporary card wallet, overall size 245 x 165 mmQTY: (3)NOTE:Noel Bailey Clarke was a civil engineer who worked on the engineering staff of the Public Works Department of the Shanghai Municipal Council. He was particularly responsible for wharves, river walls, underground sewage pumping stations, sewage purification plants, incinerators and public swimming baths. He rose to become the President of the Engineering Society of China and served as Vice-Chairman of the Shanghai Association of the (British) Institution of Civil Engineers.The two-line key printed in the bottom right corner of the plan relates to drainage and canals and is hand-coloured on the main plan in green and dark blue. This would only be of use to an engineer responsible for drainage and sewage and is indicative that this map is a personalised and possibly unique variant made for Noel Bailey Clarke's sole use. This hypothesis is strengthened by Noel William Bailey Clarke's most comprehensive publication being entitled 'Buried Pipelined: A Manual of Structural Design and Installation'. It would make sense that, with this being his speciality, his focus in Shanghai would have related to drainage and as such the plan may have been specially customised for his use.We have only been able to trace three extant but variant copies of this map. The British Library, Library of Congress Geography and Map Division Washington, D.C. and one held by a London map dealer. This example appears to be a unique example, specifically annotated for Noel Bailey Clarke.

Little Friends WWII print 32x24 inch framed and mounted signed in pencil by the artist Robert Taylor, Lieutenant Colonel CLYDE B. EAST and Flight Lieutenant LEONARD L. SPIVEY. With machine gun turret positions in the nose, atop the fuselage, under the belly, in the tail, and with two side gunner positions, it was anticipated no hostile fighter would penetrate a B-17 defensive formation. The sheer mass of defensive fire from a group of B-17s flying in geometrically calculated boxes would be enough to see off any Luftwaffe fighter pilot brave enough to make an attack. But, at terrible cost, the B-17 crews quickly learned that their masters' theory didn't stand up when they met Messerschmit Me109 and Focke Wulf Fw190 pilots in mortal combat. With no escort fighters to worry about, the Luftwaffe fighters circled their prey, carefully chose their line of attack, and ripped into the American bombers from angles they were least able to defend. They were chopping the B-17s down seemingly at leisure. Good Condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide.
