- Abstract:
- A collection of prints, assembled by an unidentified individual, added as extra-illustrations to a copy of the sixth edition of Horace Walpole's The castle of Otranto (Parma : Bodoni, for J. Edwards, 1791). Included are the six plates drawn by "a Lady" (Anne Millicent Clarke) and engraved by Andrew Birrel, published by E. and S. Harding in July 1793 to accompany either this Bodini edition of The castle of Otranto or the small octavo edition (see: Hazen, A.T. A bibliography of Horace Walpole, page 61). Also present are several prints issued with other editions of the work: four plates from the German translation Die Burg von Otranto (Berlin : C.F. Himburg, 1794); one plate published as the frontispiece to Sivrac's Italian translation Il castello di Otranto (Londra : Molini, Polidori, Molini e Co.; Ed I. Edwards, 1795); and one plate likely from a London edition of the 1790s, with the publication line "Published by Wenman & Hodgson, 144 Fleet St." trimmed away. Tipped in at the end flyleaf is an oval design trimmed from the title page to Francis Grose's Supplement to The antiquities of England and Wales (London : S. Hooper, 1777); it depicts a cross in cloister, with two monks standing to the right and a tower in the background, and has verses from Milton's Il penseroso etched below. Also tipped in is a map of the southern tip of Italy entitled "Apuliae quae olim Iapygia, nova corographia", likely a copy of a late-16th century original and With two small manuscript scraps, in Thomas Kirgate's hand, mounted on a leaf tipped in before page xv. The first notes that Mrs. Fenn's 1784 work The female guardian contains "two whole pages in praise of The castle of Otranto as a moral storey", and that Mr. Jephson's play The Count of Narbonne "is taken from The castle of Otranto." The second pertains to the drawing from which the frontispiece plates in this edition were engraved: "South view of the Castle of Otranto, with the Acroceraunian Mountains of Epirus in the distance: taken on the spot March 22d, 1785. Given to Mr. Horace Walpole by Lady Craven, November 1786."

- Abstract:
- A photomechanical print probably created during the early twentieth century as a forgery that reproduces twelve gores for a globe published in 1507 by Martin Waldseemüller based on his wall map, Universalis Cosmographia (1507). and Evidence of the forgery includes the superimposition of the gores over glue already on the paper surface, which suggests use of a sheet removed from a period volume, as well as details that replicate gores from an authentic woodcut print formerly owned by Austrian cartographer Franz Hauslab and acquired by the James Ford Bell Library at the University of Minnesota in 1954
- Description:
- A gore is a roughly triangular or wedge-shaped segment of an object, as found in domes and globes, where a sector of a curved surface, or a curved surface that lies between two close lines of longitude on a globe, and flattened to a plane surface with little distortion., Martin Waldseemüller (1470-1519) was a German cartographer. His wall map Universalis Cosmographia (1507) and printed globes contemporarily derived from it were the first published globular maps of the Western Hemisphere and the first maps on which the name America appears in honor of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci (1454-1512)., In Latin., Title devised by cataloger., and Publication place and date of creation supplied by the cataloger.
