Koenig, Alexander.
Die Vögel am Nil von seiner Mündung bis in das Gebiet seiner Quellflüsse (Weisser Nil) auf Grund eigener Reisen und Beobachtungen in Wort und Bild dargestellt […] Zweiter Band. Die Raubvögel. [Bernburg, Kunze, 1936].
4to. 188 pp. Illustrated with 52 colour plates and 2 black and white plates depicting birds of prey, a plate with 4 photographs of nests, and 2 lithographed illustrations in the text of ancient Egyptian statues of falcons. Rebound in blue half morocco with title label. The very rare only published volume of "Die Vögel am Nil" by Alexander Koenig (1858-1940): a monograph on the birds of prey of the entire Nile region, with many beautiful plates. Koenig traveled to the Nile six times to study the local fauna and concentrated his findings in this second volume, completed near the end of his life. Koenig was a scholar and a man of wealth as well an an avid collector. In 1912 he founded the renowned Museum Koenig in Bonn. In 1964 the 'first' volume was published posthumously in Bonn by the Alexander Koenig Stiftung under the title "Alexander Koenigs Reisen am Nil". Koenig had first published his studies on Egyptian birds of prey in the "Journal für Ornithologie" over the course of many years (1907-32) under the title "Avifauna Aegyptiaca", with some plates. All of these contributions were assembled and expanded, with new plates added, in "Die Vögel am Nil". (The plates already published in the journals are marked "Avif. Aeg."). The birds are divided into three types: vultures, falcons, and owls. The chromolithographed plates of vultures are done by F. Naubaur after E. de Maes (the eggs only by De Maes). Most falcon plates are signed "FR" (A. Frisch) in the plate and executed by Otto Kleinschmidt, printed at the Kunstanstalt Köhler at Gera (Germany), others are by F. Neubaur and E. de Maes. Another plate of eggs (XLIX) is by Paul Preiss. Most of the owls are done by F. Neubaur, with the exception of plate LIV, which is signed "JCK" (Keulmans). The ornithological artist Otto Kleinschmidt was also a collector of bird specimens. His collections of over 10,000 specimens was sold to the Museum Koenig in 1935. - In fine condition. Anker 266. Nissen IVB 524.

Krafft, Albrecht, oriental scholar and dilettante painter (1816-1847).
Ansicht des Gesandtschaftspallastes in Constantinopel. Probably Constantinople, c. 1840.
Pencil drawing on paper (168 x 252 mm), mounted on tawny backing with inked border, autogr. caption, and signatures. Matted (390 x 312 mm). A pretty view of the Austrian Embassy Palace in Constantinople (Istanbul). The background shows a mosque and the Bosporus with ships, with a few human figures in the foreground. Signed at the bottom right on the backing paper: "Albrecht Krafft mpr", with the signature of "Joh. von Wörndle mpr" opposite (probably the like-named construction administrator of Vienna's imperial palace, whose sons Edmund and August both were to become important painters trained at the Vienna Academy of Arts). - The Viennese orientalist Krafft was admitted to the famous Oriental Academy at the age of 19; here, he catalogued the library's oriental mss. and studied Armenian and Hebrew. His lasting achievement is considered to be his catalogue of Arabic, Persian, and Turkish mss. at the Academy. However, Albrecht Krafft, son of the Viennese portrait painter Peter Krafft (who had studied with Tischbein and Füger), was also a gifted dilettante painter who had attended the Academy of Arts simultaneously with grammar school, thus obliging his father's wishes before he followed his own inclinations and turned towards oriental scholarship (cf. Wurzbach XIII, 99). "Only the first volume of his projected 10-volume catalogue raisonnée of the Imperial Gallery at the Belvedere Palace was published (in 1837) - an excellent achievement for its time [...] Parthey, in his 'Deutscher Bildersaal', lists three paintings copied by the younger Krafft" (cf. Thieme/B. XXI, 384). - A few edge defects of the backing paper have been professionally restored.

Krusinski, Judasz Tadeus / Müteferrika, Ibrahim / Clodius, Johann Christian.
[Tarikh-i Sayyah] hoc est: Chronicon peregrinantis seu historia ultimi belli Persarum cum Aghwanis gesti [...]. Leipzig, Johann Friedrich Gleditsch, 1731.
4to. (20), 108, (12) pp. 19th century blindstamped full calf with blindstamped spine-title. Rare Latin edition of a contemporary history of the Afghan-Persian wars of the Safavid era. This is a Latin retranslation of Müteferrika's 1729 Turkish edition ("Tarih-i seyyah der bayan-i zuhur-i Agvaniyan ve-inhidam-i devlet-i Safeviyan"), which was itself a translation of a work by the Polish Jesuit Judasz Tadeus Krusinski. The present Latin version is the work of the German linguist Johann Christian Clodius. - Krusinski lived in the Safavid Empire from 1707 to 1725/28. He acted as an intermediary between the Papacy and the Iranian court and also functioned as court translator. Proficient in Persian and well acquainted with the nation and its people, he lived in the Safavid royal capital of Isfahan and was a first-hand witness to the sack of the city by the rebellious Afghans in 1722. Krusinksi's accounts make him an important primary source on this particular period of the Safavid era. - Upper hinge professionally repaired. Paper evenly browned and brownstained throughout due to stock. Provenance: from the library of the British Indian civil servant and member of the Royal Asiatic Society, Thomas Newnham, with his ownership to title-page, stricken out, and with his ca. 1840 gift note to flyleaf: "Presented to the Royal Institution by Thomas Newnham Esq.". Faded library stamp to title-page and last page. A 19th century English handwritten genealogy of the Safavid dynasty is loosely inserted. Bibliotheque de Baron Silvestre de Sacy, III, 5310. Ebert 4844. De Backer/S. IV, 1264. Brunet II, 109 (s.v. Clodius). Zenker 930. OCLC 85075897.

Kuntz, Rudolf.
Abbildungen Königlich Württembergischer Gestütts Pferde von orientalischen Racen. Stuttgart, [Ebner], 1823-1824.
Oblong folio (550 x 635 mm). Issues I and II (of 3). With 12 (out of 18) tinted chalk lithographs by L. Ekeman-Allesson after R. Kuntz. Wants text and table of subscribers. Stored loosely in 2 original wrappers with title label and green original half calf portfolio with gilt-lettered title and borders. Traces of ties. First and only edition. Commissioned by the Board of the Württemberg Stud, the first Arabian stud in Europe, this almost unobtainable series of large format plates shows the Stud's full-blooded Arabian horses with decorative oriental backgrounds. The plates constitute extremely early examples of chalk lithographs (listed individually by Winkler, Frühzeit der dt. Lithographie, 180, 57). Kuntz (1797-1848) was known for his "excellent depictions of horses" (cf. Thieme/B.); throughout his brief career he studied thoroughbreds in England, Hungary, and Paris as well as in Germany. In 1832 he became Painter to the Court of Karlsruhe, Baden; he suffered a stroke in 1846 and died in the newly-founded Illenau mental hospital. - Very slightly stained in places, three plates slightly browned. Of the utmost rarity. This copy removed from the collection of the House of Hanover, dispersed from 2005 (largely through Sotheby's). Includes a publisher's ad (by L. Harrison, Strand) for "A Series of Lithographic Drawings of Celebrated Horses" after James Ward, dedicated to George IV. Nissen 2327. Thieme/B. X, 444 & XXII, 116. Winkler, Die Frühzeit der dt. Lithographie 180.57.
