Thirteen folding engraved plates (12 of which are finely hand-colored). xii, 195 pp., [1] pp. 8vo,cont. yellow glazed boards, flat spine. Grimma: C.F. Göschen-Beyer, 1827. First edition of this very rare and attractively illustrated book on river management and dam construction. The author, “Königl. Sächs. Wasserbau-Director,” describes how to construct dams which could withstand floods and floating ice. The plates in this book are unusually fine and twelve of them are beautifully handcolored. They depict techniques to secure river banks, construct dams, and stabilize man-made objects in rivers, as well as some of the tools and machinery used. Very fine copy. Small library stamp on verso of title with release stamp.
