Such an origin is also assumed for the example in the Staatliche Antikensammlungen, Munich NI 6499 ( elish? ). However, the decoration and red coating suggest that it was made in Magna Graecia.

In 1912 Montegrappa produces writing instruments on the banks of the Brenta River. Originally known by the name of Elmo, it was nurtured by the talent of a group of local artists who worked to produce objects crafted with the utmost meticulousness, style and mastery, always aiming for excellence. In 1930, in the midst of a golden period for Italian fashion, the Montegrappa firm was definitively born, standing out for the elegance of its products. The house found a wide public to sell its designs, always with a simple but elegant style, customized with a varied choice of colors and materials. In 2001, Montegrappa was acquired by the Richemont Group, one of the world leaders in the luxury goods sector. In the period that followed, 2001/2005, the brand initially operated under the signature of Cartier, later to be controlled by Montblanc. In 2019 The Aquila family acquired Montegrappa. No box.

PERCHERON (Luc). Pyrrhe, tragedy by Luc Percheron du pays du Maine (1592). Paris : imprimerie de Crapelet, 1845. - In-8, 202 x 115 : xiij, 80 pp. Red morocco, boards decorated in the center with a quatrefoil surrounded by four compositions of small filigree irons, the whole set within an inner quatrefoil frame composed of three gilt fillets and marked at the corners with a filigree iron, and an outer frame of three gilt fillets, richly decorated ribbed spine, inner gilt lace, gilt edges on witnesses, modern red half-maroquin slipcase (Bauzonnet-Trautz and Ateliers Laurenchet for the slipcase). Extremely rare first edition of this five-act tragedy by Luc Percheron, published by and at the expense of Max de Clinchamp and Raoul de Montesson. It is the only known poetic work by this author, printed here from the only known manuscript preserved at the time in the Le Mans library. This edition was announced in the Bibliographie de la France of May 10, 1845 (no. 2366). Only 16 copies were printed, some in-12 on strong paper, others in-8 on chine and at least 1 on vellum. This is the ONLY KNOWN EXEMPLAIRE ON VELIN, specially printed for Max de Climchamp. It is quite possible that a second copy was printed on the same medium for Raoul de Montesson, but we have found no trace of this. A superb copy in a period binding signed "Bauzonnet-Trautz". Antoine Bauzonnet added to his name that of his son-in-law Trautz from 1840 to 1851. Cracked hinges. Provenance: Max de Climchamp, with bookplate and his name printed on the fourth leaf.

[Photography]. [Portugal]. EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE de Paris 1878: Portugal. Photographic Album of the Regional Farm-School of Cintra. [Paris, 1878], oblong folio, 30 photographic prints [285 x 205 mm] including 2 panoramic prints, mounted on strong paper and mitered, contemporary red chagrin [Lisboa Company], smooth spine with triple gilt filleting, gilt title with coat of arms of the city of Paris on the front cover, interior lace, gilt edges, binding restored. Album produced for the 1878 Paris World's Fair for the Portugal section: it consists of a set of albumen prints showing the agricultural farm-school of Sintra (formerly Cintra). The "Model Farm" (Quinta exemplar) in Cintra, created in 1862 under the auspices of the Agricultural Institute, was the first school of its kind to be established in Portugal. It was equipped with important and innovative agricultural equipment, such as the adoption of the Fowler steam ploughing system and the centrifugal lifting of water. All livestock species were represented, with wheat and corn the main crops. A theoretical course was taught at the Lisbon Agricultural Institute, followed by a year-long practical course in residence at the farm school, which also boasted a precision instrument workshop and a meteorological observatory. This is most probably the only copy that was presented at the Exhibition (we have found no other for sale or in the library). It is quoted in a study on Portugal published at the time: "The magnificent and voluminous photographic album, exhibited in the Portuguese section, enabled us to study all the views and all the particular details of this model establishment" (J. Lemaire, Le Portugal en 1878, Paris, s.n., 1878, p. 115).
