47; 30; 4; 4; 11 2 added engraved prints.Highly interesting collection of five 17th-century print series one a set of plates for an illustrated book all in the field of art drawing and ornamentation. They seem likely to have been printed together sometime around or soon after 1688.Ad 1: A beautiful print series intended as plates for a manual to learn the art of drawing and painting ranging from images of the human body to battle fields by the famous French artist Abraham Bosse 1602-1676. In the event the plates were published on their own and the makeup varies from set to set. Ad 2: A numbered series of 30 engravings of ornamentation that could be used in sculptural architectural art and book illustration including putti grotesque masks garlands etc. Paolo Farinati 1524-1606 worked mostly in his native city of Verona. Ad 3: A series of 4 prints showing artists at work intended to illustrate art technique. Two are devoted to drawing and the other two are devoted to painting. These prints are often considered part of the larger series described here separately as ad 1.Ad 4: A beautiful series of 4 prints representing the four elements in the form of two male and two female figures elegantly dressed with various items related to the relevant element. Blum tentatively dates the series to 1630 making it one of Bosse's earliest mature works.Ad 5: A complete set of the plates made to illustrate the first and only edition of Pierre Bullet's work on surveying Paris 1688. With a few plates primarily in ad 2 spotted but otherwise a good copy. The binding is somewhat worn and the front hinge cracked.l BAL 494 ad 5; Berlin Kat. 4355 ad 2 1736 ed.; A.

22 “699” = 697 23; 38 944 48 pp. plus 2 folding letterpress title-pages and the 3 engravings.First edition rarely found complete of a detailed account of animals that are harmful to people and to their livestock the treatment of bites illnesses and poisonings they cause and instructions for their extermination. It covers animals on land in water in the air and underground. The large folding plate in vol. II shows 38 insects including 14 caterpillars and the two engraved title-pages for volumes I and II show well over 50 vol. I about 25 vol. II animals not counting a large group of ants and many birds in the distance in the former. The book also provides information about uses of the dead harmful animals for making clothes and medicines and includes many medicinal recipes. The animals discussed include wolves foxes mad dogs birds including birds of prey snakes frogs toads rats mice moles beetles caterpillars bed bugs lice fleas and other insects spiders snails and other molluscs various kinds of worms and even a dragon and basilisk the latter illustrated in the engraved title-page to volume I: it looks more cock-like than snake-like so most people would now call it a cockatrice but the two have long been used almost interchangeably. Krafft notes that dragons are rarely or never found in Germany but says one was found in Bohemia a few years ago and that they are more common in Nubia Libya and the largest ones in "Indien" probably meaning the East Indies and perhaps based on reports of the Komodo dragon.With an owner's inscription of Stefan von Clodt 1674-1737 Vicar General and Provost of Michaelsberg in Fulda on the title-page of vol. I. Somewhat browned vol. I only slightly and with an occasional small stain but still in good condition. The binding of vol. I is in very good condition with only a few small worm holes in the hinges; vol. II is rubbed and damaged lacking the lowest 3 cm of the backstrip.

8 17 1 blank pp. textVery rare first and only edition of an attractive suite of lithographs limited to 150 copies of the gardens at Beloeil "the principal example in Belgium of the classical French style". "It was not until the mid-18th century at Beloeil that the French classical garden finally gained a firm hold in the Belgian provinces . the present gardens are the result of rearrangement made for the most part in the mid-18th century under Prince Claude-Lamoral II de Ligne assisted principally by the French architect Jean-Baptiste Bergé." Oxford companion to gardens.The suite is preceded by letterpress text including a dedicatory poem to the Princess de Ligne whose husband Prince Eugène had commissioned the most recent additions to the gardens which included an orangery and rustic temple.

Large view of the city of Leiden by the Amsterdam engraver and publisher Leonardus Schenk. The viewer observes the city from the south from between the city's Koe and Zijl gates. In the background several windmills and a few characteristic buildings are identified by name in the engraving including the university the library the Pieterskerk the Town Hall the Mare kerk the "Burcht" the fort and the Hooglandse kerk. On the quay outside the wall groups of people walk sporadically passed by small boats on the nearby city moat. In the foreground we see a typical Dutch landscape with grazing cattle farm workers a loaded hay cart and haystacks in the field. We know of several other wall prints by Schenk depicting local situations with almost photographic detail. Thanks to this detail important socio-historical aspects have been passed on to later generations giving these prints an important cultural meaning today. A few spots formerly folded otherwise in very good condition.l Overvoorde Catalogus van de prentverzameling der Gemeente Leiden 1906 no. 640; Waller Biogr. woordenb.
