8vo. Woodcut frontis., 56p. & TWENTY FULL-PAGE WOODCUT PLATES with thirty-three figures. Contemporary binder’s boards, uncut. A remarkable pattern book, technical advertisement and domestic architecture treatise on the design, construction, placement, installation and use of upright stoves — primarily intended for building heat but also for food preparation and chemical production. The author describes and illustrates the various finished products and their components, suggests where and how they work best and proposes efficient floor plans. Details show the roasting and STEWING OF MEATS, THE DISTILLING OF LIQUOR AND THE PREPARATION OF SALPETRE. The author regularly mentions stoves he has installed in and around Magdeburg, and he occasionally refers to his 1717 work, of which I have found no trace. Of the present catalog I have located two copies in the U.S. (Winterthur, UCLA). In fine original condition.
