    31    ARNALDI, ENEA. Idea di un teatro nelle principali sue parti simile a’ teatri antichi, all’uso moderno accomodato. Con due discorsi, l’uno che versa intorno a’ teatri in generale, riguardo solo al coperto della scene esteriore, l’altro intorno al soffito di quella del Teatro Olimpico di Vicenza, opera dell’insigne Andrea Palladio. (4), xxxii, 82, (2), 58, (2)pp., 6 fine folding engraved plates. Wood-engraved culs-de-lampe, lettrines. 4to. Contemporary heavy wraps. Count Arnaldi’s proposal, based on Palladian prototypes but with noteworthy innovations of his own, was originally prompted by the destruction by fire of Bibiena’s Teatro Filarmonico in 1749. He adds a discussion of Palladio’s original plans for the Teatro Olimpico. A few tears to the plates, well mended; two charming early wash drawings (a soldier, a man’s head) on the last blank leaf; a few plates touched with wash; occasional light foxing; a fine copy.

    54    (BAUHAUS) Bauhaus Standard 32. 91 original patterned and decorated wallpaper samples, printed in colors on various types and textures of stock, each with model and style numbers on the verso. Title-page on coated stock, with descriptive text and technical specifications; on the verso, a full-page photographic view of the Dessau Bauhaus. Oblong 4to. Turquoise boards, 1/4 cloth, lettered in white, secured with massive nickel bolts, as issued. The recent book ‘Bauhaustapete: Reklame & Erfolg einer Marke/ Advertising & Success of a Brandname’ gives a fascinating account of the fortunes of the Bauhaus wallpaper products during the Nazi era, and the amazing persistence of these commercial lines under the Bauhaus name, even with National Socialist endorsement, years after the Bauhaus itself had been shut down. In the case of this particular swatchbook, the Dessau Bauhaus was still in operation at the time of publication, and is illustrated on the verso of the title-page, captioned in an appropriate Bauhaus font. The well-known manufacturer of the papers, Gebr. Rasch, is not named in the present swatch-book, which is stamped “J.Z. & Co./ D.” on the front cover. Covers faded and rubbed; 11 small samples, originally mounted under front cover, crudely removed.

    55    (BAUHAUS) Gebr. Untermann. Bauhaus 1939. Jubiläumskarte. 1f. text, 115 original patterned and decorated wallpaper samples, printed in colors on various types and textures of stock, each with model numbers on the verso. Oblong stout 4to. Turquoise boards, 1/4 cloth, lettered in white, secured with massive nickel bolts, as issued. This 1939 ‘Jubilee’ collection, marking the tenth anniversary of the Bauhaus wallpapers, is introduced with a page of remarks set, notably, in a modern Bauhaus font and layout; so is the bold front cover. The four illustrated interiors which are interspersed with the samples (die-cut with holes, to expose the actual wallpapers in the appropriate place) are, on the other hand, quaintly old-fashioned. The well-known manufacturer of the papers, Gebr. Rasch, is not named in the present swatch-book, which was marketed by Gebr. Untermann, Berlin. Front cover slightly rubbed.

Narrative of the Operations and Recent Discoveries within the Pyramids, Temples, Tombs, and Excavations, in Egypt and Nubia; and of a Journey to the Coast of the Red Sea, in Search of the Ancient Berenice; and Another to the Oasis of Jupiter Ammon. Second edition. xix, (1), 533, (1)pp. Fine lithographic frontis. portrait (printed by Hullmandel), folding two-part lithographic map of the Nile; 2 plates (including 1 of inscriptions). Lrg. stout 4to. Modern cloth with printed label. Uncut. Second edition; the first was published London 1821, with a separate folio atlas of lithographic and engraved plates. We quote at length from Leonora Navari, in the catalogue of the Blackmer Collection: “Belzoni is ‘one of the most striking and interesting figures in the history of eastern travel’ (DNB), and certainly, next to Burckhardt, the most interesting in the history of Egyptology and Egyptian travel. He was an actor and circus strong man [who] had studied hydraulic engineering at Rome. In 1815 he went to Egypt with the idea of interesting Mehmet Ali in a hydraulic machine for irrigation. When this project failed Burckhardt brought him to the attention of Henry Salt and proposed that Belzoni should attempt to move the colossal head of Memnon (Rhamses II) from Thebes to Cairo. This was successfully carried out in 1816, and Belzoni embarked on his amazing career as an ‘archaeologist,’ still on behalf of Salt. He worked continuously from 1816 to 1819, and in spite of his limited knowledge he succeeded in removing an enormous number of statues and sarcophagi. In 1817, he excavated Abu Simbel, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings, and the tomb of Seti I, whose sarcophagus was purchased by Sir John Soane. In 1818 he opened the second pyramid at Gizeh, and identified the site of Berenice. In 1819, he left Egypt for England, undertook the production of his book, and organised an exhibition of the antiquities he had brought with him. His collection was sold at Sotheby’s in 1822. In 1823 he set out for Timbucktu to explore the source of the Niger and died of dysentery in December of that year. His wife Sarah was with him in Egypt, and contributed ‘Mrs. Belzoni’s Trifling Account of the Women of Egypt, Nubia and Syria’ to the ‘Narrative.’ Belzoni’s adventures were retold in a children’s book by Sarah Atkins as early as 1821.” Pale waterstain at foot of the portrait; 1 leaf with small loss of text (transcription provided); intermittent light waterstaining.
