(Argentina) CATALOGO DEL DEPARTMENTO DE LIBRERIA, 1920.
N.P. (Buenos Aires) n.p. (Gath & Chaves) 1920 large 12mo. stapled, stiff paper wrappers. 174 pages.
Catalogue of the book dept. of a Buenos Aires business called The South American Stores, Gath & Chaves Ltd. for 1,000's of current titles. Listings include: much art and literature (emphasizing classics); no children's category except for school and educational books; serious works on natural science, psychology etc., often of an introductory nature, and historical and some political works, but relatively little on current/controversial topics. Many titles in French and English. Some modern customers would find this all deplorably primitive: no cat calendars, celebrity bio's, swimsuit issues, pop-psych tomes, or messages from UFO's. And how did they dare offer all those foreign-language books without a proper, correct multicultural section? Wrappers soiled, rather loose.

(Argentina) CATALOGO DE MANUSCRITOS, PAPELES DE GREGORIO FUNES, INDICE DEL PLAN DE
Buenos Aires Biblioteca Nacional 1940 small 4to. sewn, stiff paper wrappers. 2-53, (3) pages.
In 1813, the Argentine educator, historian and statesman G. Funes submitted a "Plan of Studies for the Main University of Cordoba" to the University. This plan relected the influence of the Enlightenment and, among other things, discussed the teaching of French (not a popular language in certain circles)! Around 1940, the National Library of Argentina reprinted the Plan and also issued this "index" (which is certainly not a catalogue) with about 350 entries under names, titles, and concepts appearing in the Plan, often with page references and/or comments. With a fragment of a letter from Funes to the Bishop of Cordoba and a bibliography on higher education in (Spanish) colonial America. Wrappers chipped, browned, covers detached. Coming unbound (sewing has separated).

Baudicour, Prosper De. PEINTRE-GRAVEUR FRANCAIS CONTINUE, OU CATALOGUE RAISONNE DES ESTAMPES GRAVÉES
2 volumes. Paris Bouchard-Huzard 1859, 1861 8vo. original paper wrappers. viii,312; viii,328,iv pages.
Catalogue of engravings by French painters born in the eighteenth century. Artists discussed include Joseph-Marie Vien, Jean Honoré Fragonard, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, and François Boucher. For each artist, there is a brief biographical sketch followed by a list of that artist's engravings, with a detailed description of the scenes depicted. The engravings listed are generally reproductions of the painters' own works; nineteenth-century collectors, especially in France, would have sought out these engravings in lieu of the paintings themselves as a way of gaining a better understanding of the artist's disegno (design or conception), which was considered more important than the execution. This catalogue, then, would have been a useful aid in forming such a collection. Wrappers creased, chipped, and worn, especially at spines. Vol.1 front wrapper torn and partially lacking. Corners bumped. Back wrapper of volume 2 detached. Some foxing in volume 2.
