  • Used
Early illustrated trade catalogue of steam ovens.

Mounted on front pastedown an engraved patent label with 2 illustrations of the stove, 20 numbered engraved leaves, of which 8 double-page, showing kitchen ranges, including portable models, necessary pots, utensils and internal fittings. 10 Plates with explanatory handbills, mounted on verso facing the plate, one text mounted on verso of front free endpaper. With small contemp. manuscript annotations in a fine readable hand. EXTRA: 7 Printed slips bound in with contemp. manuscript prices in ink. Compared to the few other historically sold copies in auction, our copy has the most plates and has extra printed slips.

Rare & early engraved trade catalogue for the newly patented steam ovens by the Birmingham manufacturer John Slater (unknown-1847), 'Coach spring maker' and 'Patent steam kitchen manufacturer'. The new patent of his machine was mentioned in 'The Gentleman's Magazine' of Dec. 1811 and the machine was extensively explained by his London agent in Jan. 1812.

The virtues of steam as a cooking medium were advertised for kitchen ranges in the late 18th- early 19th Century, stressing their fuel economy and preservation of food's flavours and goodness as central benefits. It also saved cooking utensils, since pots only needed rinsing with water after use, and preparing meals was faster. However these steam kitchen ranges were quite expensive and initially used in large high-volume, low-cost kitchens like workhouses and hospitals. They were cast iron stoves, including a roasting oven, that heated water to create steam that was then carried by internal pipes to reservoirs with custom-built rectangular pots.

Some signs of wear, first blank fly-leaf, outer blank margin of 1 plate restored, small patch of Japanese paper to strengthen plate mark corner on verso of last plate, occasionally slightly browned, occ. sl. offset, but - A good copy of a rare item. - cf: Sara Pennell, The Birth of the English Kitchen, 1600-1850. pp. 66-67.

San Juan Capistrano, California:: Inkswine Press,, 2021.. Edition of 5 variants. 14.5 x 11 x 0.5 inches, (37 x 28 x 1.25 cm); 13 pages. Graphite frottages on vellum over foil titles on 140lbs rag paper. Covers with quarter Kraft-tex leather binding. Title label on front board. Signed and numbered. Dirk Hagner: "A series of 11 exquisite graphite rubbings of breads from around the world. All pieces are one-of-kind images, gathered in a hand-made book binding. This project combines the oldest cultural staple of human kind, bread, with the oldest way of printmaking, rubbings, or as printmakers call it, frottage*." Using printmaking and rubbings, Hagner presents a lovely visual discourse of bread of the world. It is a reminder of how much bread and the partaking of it together is so much apart of the many cultures of our world. This simple act of sharing bread has a sense of friendliness and comfortable interaction whether it is a bagel, a baguette, or a bun.

Description:
Binding is generally fresh and clean with only minor signs of wear. There is a "bubble" on the face hard by the spine near the top. The dust jacket is price clipped and shows general rubbing, wrinkling, edge & hinge wear etc. About 12mm of the jacket head cap is chipped away(now since replaced with removable 'matching' backing complete with missing title portion; not perfect in execution but perhaps better than looking upon a large chunk of white paper!); the tail also shows chipping and splitting along the hinges(this area also has matching backing paper to fill in). A 13 mm tear is present on the upper edge of the front wrap. No tape repairs/re-enforcements. The front end papers contain some very faint spotting. Interior pages are clean. Most leaves are unopened: (12 "signatures"). Paper is almost like card stock and is beautifully letterpress printed by the estimable firm of Jarrolds & Sons. A NF antiquarian conditon book with a more than acceptable wrapper(at least Good+).
