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.

The books are hand printed using movable types on the high-quality Hahnemühle paper produced in Germany. Annually "Pulcinoelefante" publishes hundreds of small plaquettes formed by a text (aphorism or short poem), accompanied by small engravings or original drawings made by artists. Each edition is published in a very small number of copies hors de commerce.
"[…] Piegata dal vento della vita, sub specie mutationis, l'opera di Alda Merini, in un flusso inarginato, si muove dalla narrativa alla poesia, dall'eros al mistico, dall'informe alla forma, dal terrestre al celeste, dal vissuto al sognato.
E' significativo notare il profondo legame di Alda Merini con le edizioni Pulcinoelefante di Alberto Casiraghy (edizioni veloci, stampate in giornata). Si attua una produzione sconfinata di Alda Merini, dove si riconferma un'intuizione consequenziale: una sorta di frase infinita nella temporalità, nella durata… Read More
