First edition. No binding. 93 p. In the May issue of the Democratic Review contains Samuel Morse's report (pp. 517-520) on the images Daguerre had demonstrated to him in March, 1839 in exchange for Morse demonstrating the telegraph to Daguerre.In his essay, Morse, famous for the invention of the telegraph, first describes the Daguerreotype, and then adds "Mr. Fox Talbot, an English gentleman, perfectly unconscious of Mr. Daguerre's operations, made the same discovery, and, after some years experiments, had succeeded in bringing it to even greater perfection than the other -- when the announcement in Paris of the French invention astonished Europe." Morse was so taken by the demonstration that on his return to the United States he established the first photography studio in America where he trained Matthew Brady, among others. With the issue of 1839 June, with an article about Talbot and Daguerre.
Judit Beck
In frame. 12 x 16 cm. Rendkívüli irodalomtörténeti értékkel is bíró műalkotás. Radnóti 1941 tavaszán lett szerelmes Beck Juditba. Az apa, Beck Ö. Fülöp szobrász, és a testvérek, András és Márta is Radnótiék baráti köréhez tartoztak. Utóbbi Radnóti felesége, Gyarmati Fanni gimnáziumi osztálytársa volt. Gyarmati Fanni naplójából tudható, hogy végig tudott a kapcsolatról, amely valószínűleg 1942-ig tartott. A kutatók számára csak 1982-ben vált ismertté a költÅ és a festÅművésznÅ viszonya, amikor Radnóti barátja, Kun Miklós szolgáltatott errÅl információt a PIM számára. A work of art with extraordinary literary historical value. Radnóti fell in love with Judit Beck in the spring of 1941. The father, Beck Ö. Sculptor Fülöp and the brothers András and Márta also belonged to the circle of friends of the Radnótis. The latter was a high school classmate of Radnóti's wife Fanni Gyarmati. It can be seen from Fanni Gyarmati's diary that she was aware of the relationship, which probably lasted until 1942. The relationship between the poet and the painter only became known to researchers in 1982, when Radnóti's friend Miklós Kun provided information about it to the PIM.
[Dezarnaulds, Jean-Baptiste]; [Boutan, Joseph Adolphe]; [Higginson, John]
Two separate sheets. Printed on silk. Framed with light blue silk ribbon frame (papered on verso). Silk sheet size: ca. 33 × 44,5 cm; frame: 2 cm. The programme and the results of the first horse races in New Caledonia took place on August 16, 1865. Both placards are printed on silk. New Caledonia's first horse race had four major attractions, flat racing, harness racing, poney racing, hurdling, and a race for amateurs also took place, as the present "programme-placard" - singed in print by the local notary, Jean-Baptiste Bernard dit Camille Dezarnaulds, the treasurer of the Horse Racing Committee - informs us. The event was under the high patronage of the Governor, Charles Guillain. The additional "commemorative placard" with the results of the races, lists the participant horses of each category, their jockeys and the winners of each race, and the owners of those horses; this print also introduces the members of the Horse Racing Committee. The first horse race in New Caledonia was organized by Joseph Adolphe Boutan and John Higginson, and it took place at the Styx-cove at the Baie des Citrons on August 16, 1865. (O'Reilly 1953). Its most popular race with twelve participants, the flat race, was won by Coquet (jockeyed by Mr. Casey), a horse belonging to Madame Guillain, the governor's wife. The races are annually took place after a two-year intermission, and ever since horse racing is one of the most popular spectator sports in New Caledonia. (Peyrolle 2000) Boutan (1828-1900), the French agricultural engineer arrived in New Caledonia in 1862, where he became the director of the agricultural school (Ferme-école) in Nouméa, and of the "ferme modèle" in Yawé near Saint-Louis. Probably he was the first to bring racehorses to New Caledonia and the initiator of horse racing on the island. Boutan served as the first president of the Horse Racing Committee, and also participated as a jockey of the first races in flat race and hurdling. Higginson (1839-1904) was an Irish-French businessman, one of the most important pioneering entrepreneurs of New Caledonia, and the founder of the mining and metallurgical company, Société Le Nickel. He was also a founding member of the Horse Racing Committee and participant jockey of the first races in flat race and poney race. Extremely scarce equestrian memorabilia, we couldn't trace any other copies on the market or in institutional holdings of the placards, which are also some very early examples of printing in New Caledonia, where the press was introduced only a few years earlier, in 1862.

[Goddard, J. T.]
First edition. In later half leather, publisher's illustrated paper wrappers bound into. With an illustrated plate, and 12 text illustrations. [5] iv-v [2] 8-107 [5] p., and 1 plate. Pioneering book in English written on bicycles, and the first American book to be published on the subject. Prefaced as early as March 20, 1869, and claims to be the first book on this machine: "So far as we can learn, there has been no book written upon the Velocipede, either abroad or in this country" (p. iv). The velocipede, the pedaled bicycle was invented by Pierre Lallement in the 1860s in France. This was the first of such machines to be mass-produced, and it immediately created the first bicycle craze which spread to the rest of Europe and soon reached the United States. The first books on velocipedes were published in 1868 such as Favre's Le Vélocipède (published in Marseille, appeared also in Italian), or A. Davis' The Velocipede (London). Goddard's The Velocipede is a scarce work on the market, and WorldCat locates only 3 copies in institutional holdings. Front and read cover restored, title page torn at the gutter, some pages lightly spotted, paper brittle, otherwise in fine condition. In later half leather, publisher's illustrated paper wrappers bound into. With an illustrated plate, and 12 text illustrations
[Riviére]; [Rimbert]
Handwritten pre-postal letter in ink. 3 pages on bifolium. Scarce pre-postal letter from Charlestown (USA) to Brest (France) by a Saint-Domingue-refugee, dated in 1804. Written to Mr. Rimbert in Brest, at the "bureaux du Préfet Maritime", by Mr. Riviére in Charlestown, South Caroline, who - according to his account - was taken from Saint-Domingue as a prisoner on parole to Jamaica, after Rochambeau's surrender to Dessalines in November 1803. Shortly, he could leave Jamaica via Havana to Charlestown; the journey took him almost 80 days. Riviére informs Rimbert about meeting his uncle, Mr. Verrier, and his children in Jamaica, and Havana, reminds him of their old friendship, and ask his help to forward his carrier in the marine administration, in case he decides to go back to France. During the French Revolutionary uprisings, thousands of French refugees from the West Indies arrived in the United States. Due to the conflicts of the Haitian Revolution (1790-1804) nearly 20,000, mostly white planters, gens de couleur, and slaves, fled the French colony of Saint Domingue to seek asylum mainly in American port cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Charleston. The present letter adds a personal touch to this episode of history. Torn at the wax seal and at a folding, with no effect on the text. Paper tanned at the foldings. Otherwise in fine condition.

Later on, Horthy was moved through a variety of detention locations in Germany, before getting interrogated in Nuremberg in late September 1945.
