Rare Books Berlin - Internationale Messe für Bücher und Graphik

PAULIN Gustave, Théorie sur l’extinction des incendies (Atlas only).

Paris, Bachelier, 1838. Small landscape folio; title page, table of contents, and 50 engraved plates. In its original printed blue paper wrappers (with minor staining). An extremely rare atlas accompanying the operational manual by Chevalier Paulin. In it, the author presents his inventions—such as a pressurized suit, a rescue chute, and ladders—and, above all, his mobile fire pumps. The majority of the illustrations depict the use of these pumps: transporting them to the scene, deploying them, operating them, and stowing them away. The final plates provide examples of firefighting operations in basements, on ground floors, and on upper stories. The firefighter's suit is strikingly reminiscent of Alfred Jarry's "Père Ubu". A manual blending technical detail with forward-looking innovation, it is exceptionally rare; OCLC lists only eight copies in public libraries.

REYMANN Daniel Gottlob, Map of Berlin.

Berlin, Schropp, 1807. Map in 18 sections, 53 x 38 cm, mounted on beige linen and folded. Housed in a speckled paper slipcase (minor defects to the slipcase). A very rare map showing the city within its walls (similar to the Parisian *octroi* or toll barriers), including its former ramparts. The map clearly depicts the layout of buildings crowning the plots in this capital—at a time when the population was around 150,000 (compared to twenty times that today). Major thoroughfares (Unter den Linden), main squares (Gendarmenmarkt), and islands are clearly visible, as are the fields located within the city walls. The back of the map bears the handsome label of the publisher, Simon Schropp.

René Herbst, a French architect and interior designer, was one of the co-founders of the Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM) in 1921 and a leading figure in Modern Art.
