Most Extraordinary Invention. Pulvermacher's Patent Portable Hydro-Electric Chain for Personal Use. [...] Acute nervous pains, such as Head, Tooth, and Ear Ache, Rheumatic Pains, &c. are relieved instantaneously, the moment the Chain is applied [...]
[n.d., c.1851.]
Letterpress with wood-engraved vignette. Sheet 135 x 75mm (5¼ x 3"). Trimmed to printed border, laid on card.
An advert for a type of voltaic battery invented by Isaac Lewis Pulvermacher and marketed as a tool for electrotherapy. It includes a glowing testimonal from Golding Bird, a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, who had been given a sample to test and found it a good source of electricity for medical purposes. However it was used here by Charles Meining, the Pulvermacher Company's London agent, without permission, alongside outrageous claims about its benefits. Bird's threat of legal action (against Meining as a quack rather than Pulvermacher) caused The Association Medical Journal, Medical Times and The Lancet to remove adverts for the machine.

Hypsipyle, Destroying the Arms & Sceptre of her Father Thoas...
J.H. Permotin pinxt. Engraved by L. Legoux Pupil of F. Bartolozzi R.A. Engraver to his Majesty.
London Publish'd Feby. 1 1791, by L. Legoux, No.52 Poland Street, Soho.
Stipple engraving, in brown ink, 410 x 355mm. 16 x 14".
In Greek mythology, Hypsipyle was the Queen of Lemnos. During her reign, Aphrodite cursed the women of the island for having neglected her shrines. All the women developed extreme body odour that made them repugnant to the men folk. The men took up with female slaves taken on raids on Thrace. The women of the island decided upon revenge and, in one night, killed all their male relatives. Hypsipyle alone spared a male - her father, Thoas, whom she hid.

I Promessi Sposi. Del Sig.r D. Alessandro Manzoni. Disegni del Sig.r Roberto Focosi.
Focosi dis. Milano Litog. Vassalli. [&] W. Gail del.t.
[n.d., c.1840].
Book of 18 lithographic prints; the first 12 are illustrations to Alessandro Manzoni's 'I Promessi Sposi' by Roberto Focosi. The following six are Italian scenes by Wilhelm Gail. Oblong, marbled boards with title. Scarce. Foxing to some plates. Sight damage to bottom of spine.
The first set of prints in this book are the first twelve scenes (of thirteen) from 'I Promessi Sposi', a novel the Italians regard as a masterpiece of world literature, and the basis for the modern Italian language. It is the most widely read work in the Italian language. Set in 1628, in northern Italy, then under the harsh rule of the Austrians, it tells of how the local baron, Don Rodrigo, attempts to abduct Lucia from her betrothed, Renzo. The pair flee, get separated and endure tribulations of war, famine and plague in Milan before being reunited. When the novel was first published in 1828 the Austrians were still in control, but the independence movement had moved so far forward that there was heated debate on which Italian dialect was going to be the 'official' version. Manzoni prefered the Florentine dialect and he revised the text of the novel for republication in 1842. At the back are the following set of prints of six Italian scenes by German painter of architecture, Wilhelm Gail (1804-1890).

Henrick Ibsen (1828-1906) was a Norwegian playwright, theatre director and poet. He is often referred to as "the father" of the modern theatre and was one of the founders of Modernism in the theatre. His play "The Master Builder" of 1892 was one of Ibsen's most significant and revealing works, which explored more psychological conflicts that transcended a simple rejection of current conventions.

Four of the eight plates to the British publication of Ida Pfeiffer's 'Visit to Iceland and the Scandinavian North' (first published in German, 1846). The Dannemora mine in Sweden was an iron ore mine which has been in use for several hundred years, and the Trollhättan falls in Sweden. Other plates show a geyser in Iceland, and the volcano of Hekla (which erupted in 1845, when Pfeiffer visited the island). Pfeiffer (1797-1858) was one of the first female explorers, who published several books of her journeys. These also included accounts of visits to the Holy Land and Madagascar, and two narratives of separate trips around the world.
