Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bücher zählen bis heute zu den wichtigsten kulturellen Errungenschaften der Menschheit. Ihre Erfindung war mit der Einführung des Buchdrucks ähnlich bedeutsam wie des Internets: Erstmals wurde eine massenweise Weitergabe von Informationen möglich. Bildung, Wissenschaft, Forschung, aber auch die Unterhaltung wurde auf neuartige, technisch wie inhaltlich revolutionäre Basis gestellt. Bücher verändern die Gesellschaft bei heute.Die technischen Möglichkeiten des Massen-Buchdrucks führten zu einem radikalen Zuwachs an Titeln im 18. Und 19 Jahrhundert. Dennoch waren die Rahmenbedingungen immer noch ganz andere als heute: Wer damals ein Buch schrieb, verfasste oftmals ein Lebenswerk. Dies spiegelt sich in der hohen Qualität alter Bücher wider.Leider altern Bücher. Papier ist nicht für die Ewigkeit gemacht. Daher haben wir es uns zur Aufgabe gemacht, das zu Buch gebrachte Wissen der Menschheit zu konservieren und alte Bücher in möglichst hoher Qualität zu niedrigen Preisen verfügbar zu machen.…

XIV S., 1 Bl., 178 S. Mit 24 altkolorierten Aquatintatafeln von T. Sutherland und D. Havell nach Christian Georg (II.) Schütz sowie grenzkolorierter gestochener Faltkarte. Gr.-4° (34,5 x 29 cm). Grünes Halbmaroquin um 1900 mit Rückentitel, Rückenvergoldung und dreiseitigem Goldschnitt (signiert: "Sangorski & Sutcliffe"). Erste englische Ausgabe, das deutsche Original war 1819 in Wiesbaden ohne Illustrationen erschienen. Für die englische Ausgabe entwarf Schütz prachtvolle Aquatintaansichten von Bacharach, Bingen, Boppard, Braubach, Johannisberg, Koblenz, Köln, Mainz, Oberwesel, St. Goar etc., im vorliegenden Exemplar in Abdrucken vor der Numerierung auf Papier "Whatman 1818" und "1819". P. O. Rave gelten sie als "schönste Folge englischer Rheinstiche [.] Sie zeichnen sich durch eine köstliche Weichheit der plastischen Formung aus mit zart behandelten Übergängen der Tonwerte, wodurch eine gepflegte Einheitlichkeit des Bildganzen erzielt wird" (Rheinbilder der Romantik, in: Wallraff-Richartz-Jahrbuch, 1924). - Der Frankfurter Diplomat und Schriftsteller Gerning (1767-1837) war unter anderem Bundestagsbevollmächtigter von Hessen-Homburg und Direktor des Vereins für nassauische Altertumskunde. Seine langjährige Freundschaft mit Goethe zerbrach auch am Vorwurf der Undankbarkeit des großen Dichters: "So geschah mir's mit meinem deutschen Rheinwerk, und ich bin nun kein Narr, ihm noch die englischen Prachtkupfer obendrein zu spenden" (aus einem Brief Gernings an Karl Ludwig von Knebel, zitiert nach Bode, Johann Ludwig Christ, S. 436). - Vorderes Innengelenk aufgeplatzt, Buchblock aber fest eingehängt. Wie stets etwas gebräunt und stockfleckig, acht Tafeln mit deutlicher Bräunung, die Ansicht von Mainz lose. Der elegante Einband minimal berieben, die Leinwandbezüge der Deckel mit schwachem Lichtrand. - Eines der schönsten Rheinbücher in sehr guter Erhaltung. *Abbey, Travel, 217.

British aquatints of the Rhine for South Americans --- Exceptionally rare edition in Spanish of one of the most successful illustrated books of the time, specifically conceived for South America: a remarkable example of transatlantic commercial publishing. "Following the capture of Buenos Aires by the private enterprise of Commodore Sir Home Popham and Colonel Beresford in 1806, and the sending home of 1,100,000 worth of 'Treasure', paraded through the streets of London in eight wagons, each drawn by six horses, British interest in South America had boomed". Even though the British forces were pushed back the next year, a vast number of British merchants went to Buenos Aires, and "by 1824 there were at least 3,000 British subjects [. A] mania for speculation in South America swept Britain, huge sums being invested in companies and in South American Government Bonds" (Abbey). The celebrated London publisher -and acute businessman- Rudolph Ackermann (1764-1834) was among those English entrepreneurs to expand his business into the New World: from 1823 he published the magazine Variedades o Mensagero de Londres and in 1824, he sent his young son George (1803-91) to Mexico so that he could open a bookshop and establish sales outlets in Mexico City, Caracas, Bogota, Guatemala City, Lima and Buenos Aires. This allowed Ackermann to become a leading publisher in Spanish in Latin America: "Ackermann. published over 100 books in Spanish, including textbooks which played an important part in the education of the newly independent republics" (Ford). By the end of 1828 however he had to shut down his business in Latin America because of "the volatile economic and political climate and the frequent pirating and selling of his books by the French" (Harris). Ackermann included a Spanish version of Gerning's bestseller in his output aimed at South America, and stated this clearly on the title page: the book is published in London by Ackermann, "y en su establecimiento en Megico : asimismo en Colombia, en Buenos-Ayres, Chile, Peru, y Guatemala". A Picturesque Tour along the Rhine, first published with illustrations in 1820, was one of his most successful illustrated publications, "perhaps the most famous magnificent work of the early Rhine Romanticism" (Schmitt). The new publication includes a title, an introduction and plates explanations in Spanish, whereas the 24 plates are the same as the first English edition, all engraved in aquatint after watercolours by the late German artist Christian Georg Schütz Jr. (1758-1823), and here subtle hand-colouring from Ackerman's celebrated London workshops and still with English captions dated 1819. The original German text, Die Rheingegenden von Mainz bis Cölln, had been written by the German diplomat Johann Isaak von Gerning (1767-1837) and first came out in German without illustrations in 1819. Abbey suggests that Ackermann was already working on his edition at that time as he commissioned the text and plates in 1819. Gerning's work opened Ackermann's famed series of "Picturesque Voyages" (1820-28) that would later include the explorations of the Seine, Ganges and Thames among others. "There is no more attractive figure [in the publishing world] than that of Rudolph Ackermann, through whose extraordinary enterprise and spirit of adventure, aquatint was successfully applied to the illustration of books" (Prideaux). The book offers attractive topographical descriptions of the so-called Middle Rhine from Mainz to Cologne, as well as short insights about the local history and traditions (with for example a full plate showing a salmon fishery), which altogether contributed to the romanticisation of the region, particularly favoured by English tourists. For the Spanish edition, Gerning's text was replaced with an introductory text and explanatory notes by the writer and educator José Joaquín de Mora. This publication was very timely, resonating with the growing local romantic aspirations which were particularly fulfilled in the works of one of the main Latin American Romantic authors, Esteban Echeverría (180551), in the 1830s. Very rare: this edition mentioned, but not owned by Abbey. Worldcat could not locate any copy in US or European libraries, showing only one copy, at the Biblioteca Nacional de Mexico. No copy traced in COPAC, none in the BL. Apparently only one example at auction in recent decades, in 2010. A fine, clean example, in contemporary binding and with the original, subtle colouring keeping its lovely freshness. Provenance: Physical description:Folio (35 x 28 cm). 8 pp. incl. title, introduction leaf and plate explanations, and 24 aquatint plates by Sutherland and Havell after Schütz, all with original hand-colouring and some with gum arabic highlights, title with 1817 watermark, plates with 1820, 1831 or none (most). Contemporary half calf over marbled boards, flat spine gilt in compartments, leather label to upper cover framed and lettered in gilt. Condition:Skilfully and sympathetically rebacked retaining most of the original spine, corners repaired, leather minimally stained; occasional minor foxing or staining, barely affecting images, the plates overall very fresh.

FIRST EDITION. Folio (33.5 x 28 cm). Title, verso blank; Dedication, 1 leaf; List of Subscribers, pages (v) to viii; Preface by the Translator, pages (ix) to xii; Preface of the Author, pages (xiii) and xiv; Contents, 1 leaf, verso with List of Plates; Text, pp. 1-178. Period style half red morocco over marbled boards, spine with raised bands and intricate gilt tooling, all edges gilt. 24 aquatinted plates D. Havell and T. Sutherland after C.G. Schutz with original hand-colouring, engraved folding map with colour highlights at rear entitled "Map of the Course of the Rhine from Mentz to Cologne; And of the Course of the Maine and the Lahn". Minor scattered spotting, slight offsetting to map, generally an excellent copy. One of Ackermann's major colour plate books and apparently the first in his "Picturesque Tours" series, others of which explore the Seine, the Ganges, and the Thames. The book describes a trip down the Rhine on that part of the river generally considered most romantic and charming, "from Mentz to Cologne, and of the Bathing-Places of Wiesbaden and Embs". The account contains not only topographical descriptions, but considerable historical information and details of popular traditions, the book being written "with a view chiefly to the information of travellers of cultivated minds who may be induced to visit this interesting portion of Germany (Preface of the Author)". The original German edition was published in Wiesbaden in 1819 as Die Rheingegenden von Mainz bis Cölln, without illustrations. The third issue, with the plates numbered in top right corner.
