Londres W.H. Allen 1836 4to. publisher's blind stamped cloth x, (6), lxxx, 214 pages, 5 lithographs, (2) with errata
First edition of the French translation done by Sarah Davids. A grammar of the Turkish language with a preliminary discourse and Ottoman Turkish excerpts with translations. In the discourse, Davids (1811-1832) argues that the Turks are a separate, honorable, and intelligent race with a beautiful and complex language. Davids' writings were translated into Turkish in 1851, and the historian Bernard Lewis writes that this book, "made the Turks imagine themselves as having a distinct nationality and independence." Also contains five lithographs illustrating excerpts from ancient and modern Turkish texts by the early English lithographer Joseph Netherclift. (see Twyman, Early Lithographed Bookspages 236-239). Netherclift had been producing lithographic work in London since around 1820, and as Twyman states became "the leading producer of lithographed facsimiles in Britain," until he was succeeded by his son in 1855. Multiple tables with French, phonetic Turkish pronunciation, and Turkish script. Wear to head and tail of spine with some small holes to rear hinge. Minor discoloration to boards.

Dordrecht Atelier De Distelkamp 1992 8vo. cloth, paper slipcase. 121, (5) pages.
Facsimile of the first Dutch edition published in Dodewaard in 1899 (first published in Germany in 1895). This is the first treatise on the technique of marbling to be published in the Dutch language, and it also contains the only known portrait of Josef Halfer printed as a frontispiece. Richard Wolfe (Marbled Paper, p.127) notes: "Josef Hauptmann of Gera and Berlin (1867-1917)...in Paul Kersten's opinion was Halfer's best pupil. According to Kersten, the manual Hauptmann produced was second only to that of the master himself." This facsimile reprint contains an English language translation and an added commentary by Jan Stoorm van Leeuwen who notes, "Written almost a 100 years ago, the little volume is easy to read even now. It is a crisp, clear-cut and plainly-written manual. Equipped with Leo's 'marbling kit' and Hauptmann's little volume, the interested reader has all he needs to try his hand at marbling" (The Art of Marbling, p. 121). Printed letterpress in only 275 copies and containing 21 tipped-in marble paper specimens (some gelatinized) produced by Lia and Geert van Daal in facsimile of those in the actual 1899 edition. Beautiful and important book.
