Contact seller5-star sellerA RARE LONDON-PRINTED GERMAN ANNUAL, BY THE JEWISH PURVEYOR OF GERMAN BOOKS FOR THE BRITISH MUSEUM. Sm 4to. [20 x 13.5]. (40) pp, plus engr. frontispiece and 17 [of 18?] stipple-engraved, tissue-guarded portraits of women signed by various artists including "Miss L. Sharpe". Bound in original publisher's embossed brown cloth wit…h gilt title on spine; all edges gilt. An immaculate, beautifully-preserved copy.Extremely rare example, beautifully-printed on thick paper, of this curious short-lived German-language annual brought to the press by Abraham Asher (1800-1853), a German emigré Jew resident in London with ties to the British Museum. The book consists of 17 striking, late-Romantic full-page steel engravings accompanied by poetic interludes drawn from celebrated German authors (Herder, Uhland, Immermann, and so on). The Anglo-German Louisa Sharpe (1798-1843) forged a successful career as miniature painter, and in 1834 moved from London to Dresden. The title, Ehret die Frauen ['Honor the Women'] seems to have been drawn from a 1796 Schiller poem of the same name. The audience for Asher's publication was undoubtedly Continental; it is interesting to note that Ehret die Frauen is advertised in all of the contemporary Germany literary journals often as 'in an embossed English binding' and seems to have attracted much acclaim for its typography and the quality of the illustrations. We can trace no copy of any edition or issue in UK libraries, while OCLC suggests that single volumes are held at Chicago (1837) and Northwestern University (1838) as well as in a number of German institutions. No institution seems to hold a complete run of the series (1835-1843?). * on Asher and the British Museum, cf Thomas Keiderling, "Ein jüdischer Buchhändler mit englischem Sortiment: Abraham Asher (1800-1853)" Berlinische Monatsschrift 8 (1996), pp. 55-60.
