‎GOETHE - Moritz Retzsh Engravings‎

‎FAUST - Rare Bound Set - without any text‎

‎1826 Faust was Goethe's most celebrated creation with international editions in his lifetime and subsequently in films and books across the world with translations in most languages. This is a complete set of the 26 engravings Moritz Retzsh produced as an illustration of Goethe's text; the book has no words in it not even a publisher or date. What it does have is a fabulous set of the original plate pulls complete with plate marks. Friedrich August Moritz Retzsch was a German painter draughtsman and etcher; much celebrated in his day. This is in a way a fine example of what would now called a graphic novel. The 26 etched pictures tell the story and words are not needed. In Germany there were many such books without words and this one in particular influenced the English Pre Raphaelites. This volume is in its original binding with a very fragile leather spine which turns around to the original marbled cover boards which are also in a fragile state. There is no title page or date and no publishing house is mentioned. The corners are leather also and the spine has five subtly raised bands and no title. A much poorer copy of this was featured in the exhibition of Pre Raphaelites at Tate Britain. My copy is considerably better but it is by no means a fine one. It has been used and looked at probably a great deal over the last 200 years or so. The leather is very worn the marbled cover boards are patinated and there is a mixture of hand written names and an inscription on the front end paper. It is very rare in any state at all because it was easily broken up so the plates could be framed. This is I must stress a complete bound full set and as such it is very rare indeed. The earlier of the two dated inscriptions states 1826; but it cannot be viewed as an accurate issue date. An edition exists which has a German title page and text but this is not one of those. It's a bit of a mystery. The exhibited copy in the Tate exhibition was inspected by me I knew one of the curators and it was also without any text. International Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. hardcover‎

‎18th Century. 4 colour aquatints on rag paper. Sheet size 41.5 x 34.5 cm. Hamilton pinx. Gabrieli & Bonato sculp. William Hamilton RA 1751 - 1801:RA Collection: People and Organisations.Born in Chelsea West London in 1751 Hamilton spent time studying in Italy before entering the Royal Academy Schools in 1769. Although he had previously studied architectural draughtsmanship he chose to pursue painting at this time. He exhibited four paintings at the Royal Academy in 1774 and by 1789 was elected as a Royal Academician. In the early part of his career Hamilton focused on portraitur but he later began to paint subjects from poetry history and the Bible.Hamilton was also employed by print galleries to illustrate popular themes and literature. His representations of Shakespearean scenes were not well-received but his rural scenes were fashionable. Perhaps the most popular of these were his illustrations to James Thomson’s The Seasons 1730. This poem describes rural Britain and reflects on the role nature plays as an intermediary between Heaven and Earth. Hamilton’s illustrations such as The Monarch Swain were published in 1797 engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi RA and P.W. Tomkins. There is a copy of the book in the Royal Academy Library. 18th Century unknown‎

Der berühmte Katalog wurde in vier Bänden publiziert. Vollständige Ausgaben dieses heute seltenen Werkes erzielen Höchstpreise bei Auktionen. Für die vorliegende Ausgabe wurde das besonders schöne Exemplar der Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek in Weimar detailgetreu reproduziert, um den heutigen Leser in den Genuss eines Werkes zu bringen, das den klassischen Geschmack des britischen Königreiches, ja ganz Europas geprägt und Manufakturen wie Wedgwood zu den bekannten Reproduktionen inspiriert hat. Diese prachtvolle Publikation antiker Vasen ist das Ergebnis der überaus fruchtbaren Zusammenarbeit des britischen Diplomaten und Sammlers Sir William Hamilton (1730-1803) und des Abenteurers, Antiquars und Kunsthändlers Pierre-Francois Hugues D`Hancarville (1719-1805). Als Gesandter der englischen Krone am neapolitanischen Hof entwickelte Hamilton ein lebhaftes Interesse sowohl an der Antike als auch an der Vulkanologie. Er studierte die königlichen Ausgrabungen in Pompeji und Herculaneum und verfasste die ersten wissenschaftlichen Abhandlungen über den Vesuv. Während seines Aufenthaltes in Neapel trug er die erlesenste Sammlung antiker Vasen seiner Zeit zusammen, die er 1772 an das British Museum in London veräusserte. D`Hancarville erhielt den Auftrag, die wertvollen Vasen vor ihrer Verschiffung nach England, in Wort und Bild festzuhalten. Niemals zuvor waren antike Vasen mit solcher Präzision und in solcher Qualität dargestellt worden. PS4-1 ISBN: 9783836500869‎
