Bundling; its Origin, Progress and Decline in America.
8vo; green cloth binding; 139pp; some wear and tear; some small paperloss on p13; o/w vg cond. A very interesting and rare treatise on an old tradition, known as bundling which originally is the practice of sleeping fully dressed with another person, with a board of wood in between them as part of courtship. It is said to have originated in the Netherlands and British Isles but also became in common in colonial America, especially in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, and is still associated with the Amish as a form of courtship. However, in the 18th century in America, travellers occasionally were permitted to bundle with locals, ie renting half a bed for an extra fee.

Grand Circuit des Capitales .offert par le Chocolat Menier
Jan-Loup aka Jannot colour printed map, separately published; folds as issued; some tiny holes in cross folds; o/e exc. cond. A most stunning promotional map of the World published for the French chocolate company Menier, centred on the Pacific and outlining a route across the globe, starting and finishing in Paris. Below the map is a table to stick on 120 coupons which could be found in selected bars of chocolate. Once completed and having solved three enigme along the route, one was supposed to sent off the completed table to Menier, resulting in most maps missing the lower part. This fine example has the table still intact. Jannot aka Jan-Loup was an artist and illustrator a French magazine from the 1950s to the early 1960s, and he also designed scarves for the fashion house Hérmes. The Menier Chocolate company was founded by Jean Antoine Brutus Menier in 1816. Though not trained as a pharmacist, he sold a variety of different powders for medicinal purposes and used chocolate as an ingredient to make the medicine more palatable. In 1836, Menier was the first company to introduce blocks of chocolate, covered in greenish-yellow wrapper which became iconic for the brand. And in 1893, the company started a poster advertising campaign, created by Firmin Bouisset, showing a little girl writing the name Chocolat Menier on a wall with a piece of chocolate. The company is still going strong though the Menier family withdrew from management in 1959.- $522
