London & Paris: Maggs Brothers, 1932. Two volumes. Quarto. Cloth and boards, untrimmed. Illustrations and facsimiles. Boards a bit edgeworn and smudged, some faint splashmarks to spines, tiny snag at crown of one spine, bookplates and ownership stamp (see below), a good set, internally very good. First editions, limited to 250 and 275 numbered copies respectively. A charming association copy, inscribed on the free endsheet of the first volume: "O. Madox Hueffer Hommage amical André L. Simon." The recipient, Oliver Madox Hueffer (1876-1931), was himself a productive novelist and journalist, although he has been largely overshadowed by his better known older brother. According to his biographer, on 21 June 1931, after "an exceptionally good dinner" (wine choice unreported), Hueffer is said to have exclaimed "I've never felt better in my life," and died of a heart attack, aged fifty-four. The first volume subsequently rested for awhile with the Polish Naval Association, London, with their stamp on the front pastedown, and then migrated to the reference library of London bookselling firm, Francis Edwards Ltd, where it joined the second volume and had inserted their bookplate in each volume (noted as "Not for Sale" but sold with the substantial portion of the Edwards reference library by Maggs Bros ca 1985). A key work from the period of the first blush of wine bibliography, by its long dominant figure. GABLER G38730.

1775 Liger Rustic House Bees Beekeeping Hunting Wine Cuisine Rustique Falconry
Louis Liger was a prominent 17th-century French writer known for his works on flora and fauna. He is chiefly remembered for his major work 'Nouvelle Maison Rustique,' or 'The New Rustic House.' Originally titled 'General Economics of Country Goods,' this work went through dozens of editions and reissues following its initial release in 1700. This work covers all aspects of rural life in an encyclopedic form including hunting, gardening, fishing, falconry, wine making, beer brewing, cooking, and bee keeping.
This two-volume 1775 edition is filled with fascinating full-page and folding plates alongside in-text woodcut engravings.

Description:
Octavo (9 3/4 x 5 7/8 inches) Baltimore: Bacchus Press Ltd., 1992. Facsimile of the 1864 second edition. 540 pages and 24 pages of period publisher's ads., fold out charts, numerous illustrations. Wine colored leatherette, decorative cover (the title is surrounded by grape vines which frame a charicature of a happy vintner sitting on a barrel; all done in gold). very good condition.

A faithful reproduction of a scarce work. Shaw was originally from Scotland and had much to do with lowering the duty on wine imported to England. His writing is informative and humorous. He mentions American wines and in a prophetic remark states, "California seems better adapted for producing wine."
