The New England Test Kitchen. Interior View
New York: the photographer; John D. Chase Optician 1864. Albumen silver print stereograph 8.5 x 17.5 cm. Two prints mounted on card. The photographer is identified in a copyright registration statement. "The New England Kitchen" in The Brooklyn & Long Island Sanitary Fair February 22 1864 pages 72-78 states that this demonstration kitchen not of contemporary cooking methods but of old fashioned hearth cooking was a hit with the crowds at the fair and a significant financial success. An experiment in cooking education by example The New England Kitchen was aimed at weaning immigrants off of their food traditions and toward a "New England diet" see Laura Shapiro's excellent Perfection Salad pages 147 ff. Apparently the plans for the New England Kitchen began before the fair plans been begun. The image offered here labeled "Interior View" was one of a series of twelve photographs taken by W.E. James of 247 Fulton Steet. We have located no sets of the photographs in any institution collection. the photographer; John D. Chase, Optician unknown

Glasgow: Allan & Ferguson Single sided lithographic ticket approximately 150mm x 115mm in size n.d. c.1844 Light surface soiling small ink stain to reverse corners of reverse lightly stained with glue otherwise fairly clean. Sir David Wilkie see McEwan's Dictionary of Scottish Art & Architecture pages 605-6 and ODNB died in 1841 however the dates on the card don't work if the Thursday was the 3rd then the Saturday should be the 19th not the 18th both 1844 and 1850 would work with the dates on the invitation and the dates of the Finlays being located at 49 Buchanan Street between 1832 and 1854 according the the National Portrait Gallery it is presumably more likely to have been held closer to the date of Wilkie's death.

Glasgow: Allan & Ferguson Single sided lithographic ticket approximately 125mm x 90mm in size n.d. c.1850 Very minor soiling corners of reverse lightly glue stained but generally quite bright. There are several James Millers in McEwan's 'Dictionary of Scottish Art & Architecture' but only one seems to work with the probable date of the card but he is known as a portrait painter rather than still life. Described as fl. 1853 the SNPG has 'The Duke of Wellington' on a panel McEwan pg 404. He is offered as the best option with very little confidence.

[VIEW - AMSTERDAM].
Amsterdam. Caption: Amsterdam ville du Comté de Hollande et la plus considérable des Provinces Unies.
Amsterdam 1660. In a passe partout framed in a modern wooden frame. Engraving: ca. 38.5 x 50 cm; frame: 66.5 x 76 cm. Rare large engraved view of Amsterdam as seen from the inlet known as the IJ. The work is captioned in French and includes a numbered legend for the buildings in the background. According to d'Ailly it must have been engraved between 1660 and 1668 as it shows the Oost-Indisch Zeemagazijn a large warehouse built by the Dutch East India Company between 1660-1663 but not the Lutheran Church which was built in 1668. The present engraving is not signed but is very similar to a slightly later view of Amsterdam by French engraver Pierre-Alexandre Aveline 1656-1722. It bears the same caption and legend and has a nearly identical background but differs in the typography cartouche and the amount of ships in the foreground. The present state is exceptionally rare as we have not been able to trace any other copies of it in sales records and only three in literature.The engraving is slightly creased the upper right corner has been professionally repaired. Otherwise in very good condition.l D'Ailly E. A. Repertorium van de profielen der stad Amsterdam en van de plattegronden der schutterswijken 98 3 copies; cf. d'Ailly 101 and 102 Aveline view. unknown

[VIEW - MIDDLE EAST].
Mountainous landscape with Middle Eastern and classical Roman ruins 6 shepherds with their flocks several figures riding dromedaries and one riding a donkey date palms lakes etc.
Palestine 1910. Rolled up and kept in a cardboard tube. An enormous panoramic view drawn in coloured gouaches on a single continuous roll of unwatermarked wove paper 70 x 583 cm the drawing running to the edges of the paper. A panoramic view of what appears to be a fantasy Middle Eastern landscape with spectacular mountains in the background a body of water near each end and a wide variety of buildings and ruins some clearly classical Roman and others Middle Eastern. The combination of classical Roman architecture with dromedaries and other Middle Eastern features places it very likely in Palestine but we have not been able to identify specific buildings. The most distinctive ruin a round Roman temple with five columns on the viewer's side an entablature above them and a vertical base below them looks more like the Temple of the Vesta at Tivoli than like any known in the Middle East the columns are not rendered in sufficient detail to determine their order but they are almost certainly not Ionic and are probably Corinthian. There are also classical Roman aqueducts. The six shepherds with their flocks all wear broad-brimmed hats and have staffs and two are blowing long slightly curved horns. Several more figures with broad-brimmed hats and staffs might be pilgrims one together with what is presumably his wife. With a 33 cm tear into the left end a few insignificant and much smaller tears and with pin holes about 1 cm from the edges from mounting on a wall but otherwise in very good condition and with the colours fresh and bright. A spectacular panoramic view of the Middle East including many classical Roman ruins. unknown

[VIEW - NETHERLANDS - AMSTERDAM]. BAST, Pieter
Amstelredam.
Antwerp 1599. Pieter Bast Framed. Large engraved panorama on 2 sheets ca. 27 x 76 cm as assembled. Rare first state of a 16th-century view of Amsterdam as seen from the inlet known as the IJ made by Pieter Bast a Dutch engraver from Antwerp best known for his city map of Amsterdam and this view. "In its amplitude and the sheer audacity of the presentation this engraving is indisputably one of Bast's most significant creations. It is as much a portrait of the harbour of Amsterdam as of the city itself and underscores the unique importance of maritime trade as the principle source of the city's wealth and power". With its distinctive orientation he not only initiated the series of representations of Amsterdam as seen from the IJ but also "established the standard for an entire genre of Dutch maritime painting" Keyes. In 1611 a second state edition was published by Claesz Jansz. Visscher who drastically altered the composition. In very good condition.l Hollstein Dutch & Flemish I p. 168 8; Keyes Pieter Bast 8 and p. 19. unknown

It's the last state of the view by Jacob Savry published in 1647 and partly updated including the changes made by Visscher in his issue from 1653.

Amsterdam 1728. Leonardus Schenk Framed 82.5 x 121 cm. Large engraved wall print on 2 sheets together 57.5 x 97 cm showing the Leiden city wall between the Koepoort and Zijlpoort with various windmills and prominent buildings in the background identified by name. The title appears in a banderole at the head with putti on either side holding the arms of Leiden and Holland. Leonardus Schenk's name appears as engraver and publisher at the right end of the banderole. 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.

Unlike most other Dutch towns Leiden had no central market square so that the waterways formed the major access routes for merchandise. On the banks of the canals there is a lively market that converges on the bridge central in the print. Market traders and customers come and go. Women from the coastal fishing villages of Katwijk and Noortwijk display fresh fish for sale. Right in the print we see the monumental "Waag" the weigh-house built in 1658 following a plan by the Dutch architect and engraver Pieter Post. The splendid relief designed by Rombout Verhulst that crowns the entrance is reproduced with a sharp eye for detail. In front of the building commercial goods are hoisted up from carts and a number of ships for transport to the weigh-house. Several other ships had moored and now continue to their destination. A boat flying the Dutch flag brings in a prominent party while a herald standing precariously at the bow trumpets for right of way. 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. With some faint foxing otherwise in very good condition.l Overvoorde Catalogus van de prentverzameling der Gemeente Leiden 1906 no. 964; Waller Biogr. woordenb. Noord Ned. graveurs p. 287.
