The list of words generally printed with publications which relate to the East-Indies, have always been so short and incomplete ... it is from this consideration, of the insufficiency of all vocabularies of Bengal words hitherto published, that the editor ... has been induced ... to collect into one series, all such terms (in whatever publications they lay scattered) as could, by their explanation, in any resepct tend to the elucidating and better understanding of East-India affairs”. (Preface). This vocabulary has an important place in the history of Anglo-Indian linguistics (see Schwarz). At the time the English language was being enriched with words introduced through the employees of the East India Com­ pany.

A rare work of one of the most important accounts of Ceylon in the 17th cen­ tury. Schweitzer was employed by the East India Company and accompanied this VOC voyage between 1676 and 1682. After a brief stay in Java he was assigned to Ceylon where he first served at the fort at Sitavaka and later as secretary to the Dutch commander at Colombo. He also commanded contingents of troops during a mission to Kandy, and along the Malabar coast. Schweitzer’s accurate account written in Dutch but translated into German for publication is based on his own experiences and observations. He makes inter­ esting comparison between the Sinhalese and the Tamil regions. Schweitzer, an amateur artist, made the drawings of the engraved plates. Howgego S71.

This edition was printed on remanufactured white paper and became the first book printed on recycled paper in the West! The appendix (pp. 259–274) is printed on paper made from wood . Matthias Koops was a pioneer of me­ chanical paper production with great experience of man­ ufacturing from waste paper at Neckinger mill in South London. He invented new processes for making paper from wood pulp rather than from rags, and for recycling paper it­ self so it could be used for printing. Between 1800 and 1801 Koops was granted three patents for making paper from a number of unusual substances. The first edition of this work was printed entirely on yellow paper made from straw. This version of the second edition was printed on recycled paper 53 with the exception of the frontispiece which was printed on straw paper. It includes much statistical information about 54.

Tristan Tzara (1896– 1963) was the renowned Roman born writer and artist who was known for being one of the central figures of the anti- establishment Dada movement. His noted play “Le cœur à gaz” was first staged as part of the 1921 “Dada Salon” at the Galerie Montaigne in Paris. It was written as a parody of classical drama in the form of an absurd dialogue between characters named after human body parts; mouth, ear, eye, nose, neck and eyebrow (Tzara himself). The second stage production, also titled “Le Cœur à barbe” was performed at Théâtre Michel in July 1923. Sonia Delaunay, the famous Ukrainian-born French artist, designed and costumed the production, creating bright coloured eccentric geomet­ rically-shaped costumes of thick cardboard. The play has been viewed as the final event in the evolution of Dada as a cultural movement.

69. TZARA, TRISTAN / DELAUNAY, SONIA (Ills.): [Two original lithographs of costumes for “Le coeur à gaz” signed in pencil by Delaunay]. [Paris, Jacques Damase, 1977]. € 850 One lithograph (20.5 x 44 cm) depicting the famous dadaist writer Tristan Tzara (1896–1963) with his monocle in a geo­ metrically-designed costume rendered in green, red and beige. The other lithograph (21.5 x 44 cm) depicting Jac­ queline Chaumont in an eccentric trapezoid costume ren­ dered in black, white and yellow. Both the costumes were designed by Sonia Delaunay for the performance of “Le cœur á gaz” (the second staging titled “Le cœur à barbe”) in 1923 at théâtre Michel. The original watercolour designs are held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1977 Paris gallerist Jacques Damase published a limited edition of the play (125 copies) accompanied by 12 original litho­ graphs by Delaunay, seven of which reproduce her original costume designs. At the same time a special collector’s edi­ tion of another 25 copies was issued, together with a suite of seven signed lithographs, including these two striking examples. Sonia Delaunay was a Ukrainian born artist who spent most of her working life in Paris. In 1964 she was the first living female artist to have a retrospective exhibition at the Louvre.
