Rome: Faro Disegni 1965. Beautiful archive of midcentury porcelain designs each an original hand-colored work of art spanning a wide variety of botanical geometric and figural styles. Some feature realistic portraits of flowers and birds while others are much more stylized: traditional folk motifs linear Art Nouveau florals bright mod blossoms. This is a working archive: many of the images are annotated and corrected in pencil and themes like the firebird are developed over multiple sheets. Of the 168 designs that survive eight are unnumbered and the others are numbered as follows: 1-47 49-67 69-138 140-144 146-155 157-165. Roman firm Faro Disegni is best known for their textile designs; this archive testifies to their participation in other aspects of the decorative arts. A remarkable survival. Collection of 168 original hand-colored designs for porcelain plates each on a separate sheet of various sizes: a group of 111 designs executed in pencil ink and watercolor on heavy paper most measuring 14.5 x 13 inches and a smaller group of 57 sketches executed primarily in pencil and crayon on onionskin measuring less than 12 inches square. Most designs labeled "Faro Disegni" and numbered in ink; a few designs mounted many marked in pencil with annotations in French and English. Housed in two chemises within a custom clamshell box.

London: Rudolph Ackermann 1817. Delightful example of the "line and dot" caricature craze of the Regency period. Although the art of the stick figure dates back to prehistoric times English caricaturist George Moutard Woodward is generally credited with inspiring the modern "pinmen" genre with his "Multum in Parvo or Lilliputian Sketches" early in the nineteenth century. Soon publishers across London were turning out prints of comically expressive pinmen hunting riding dueling flirting and acting Shakespeare. In February 1817 Ackermann's Repository of Arts published a satirical poem "Dottator et Lineator Loquitur" from the perspective of an exultant caricaturist: "I know that I can do much more / Than artists ever did before; / With but a DOT and eke a LINE / In ev'ry shape and act I'll shine." The poem was illustrated with a series of pinmen performing scenes from a ball: "Asking to Dance" "Cross Hands" "Hornpipe" and so on. This engraving printed on heavy paper and trimmed within the plate mark features the same dancers depicted in the pages of Ackermann's. A very good caricature print. Engraved caricature print measuring 3.75 x 8.25 inches imprint trimmed. Occasional stray spot. [Rudolph Ackermann] unknown books
