[Karl August, Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach].
Portrait of Duke Karl August of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. [Weimar, after 1775].
590 x 460 mm. Pastel on vellum. Framed and glazed. Unsigned, undated half-length portrait of the Duke (1757-1828), Goethe's friend and patron, in his early twenties. This work by an unidentified Thuringian master strongly resembles the one at Dornburg castle listed as no. 19 in Hans Wahl's census ("Pastellgemälde von unbekannter Hand. 1775-80"). Goethe frequently stayed at this Ducal palace when in Dornburg on business. The painting is probably one of a small number of contemporary copies based on the oil painting by Johann Ernst Heinsius (Wahl no. 14), but with softer contours and brighter colours, as common for pastel crayons. - Two tears of about eight centimetres each near top and bottom edge of paper, professionally restored. Occasional rubbing to colours; some overpaintings and staining. Ownership of the anthroposophical physician Karl Hanno Matthiolius (1923-91), dated Solingen-Landwehr, 28 Nov. 1945, on the reverse. H. Wahl, "Die Bildnisse Carl Augusts von Weimar" (Weimar 1925), no. 19.

[Klimt, Gustav] - Geyling, Remigius, painter and stage designer (1878-1974).
Collection of 23 portrait drawings and caricatures, all drawn "from life" and signed, dated, and titled by Geyling (often citing the place of the sitting). Includes two T.L.S. by Arthur Schnitzler. Vienna, 1897-1935.
Royal folio. In later years mounted onto uniform backing boards by Geyling himself and laid into two simple portfolios, both of which contain his autogr. table of portraits. All leaves numbered throughout by the artist (1-24; Schnitzler's letters on their own backing are no. 23) and captioned with the name and dates of the person portrayed. The earliest portrait dates from 1897, the year in which the Vienna Secession and the artistic periodical "Ver Sacrum" were founded. According to his inscription, it was for the latter that Geyling drew the present portrait of the Secessionist sculptor Rudolf Bacher. Many of the pictures collected in these two portfolios were created several years later, in 1905, during the heyday of the Wiener Werkstätte (for which Geyling designed postcards) and a year after Geyling and his partner Otto Prutscher closed their joint studio for furnishings and décor. "Although a member of the conservative 'Künstlerhaus', Geyling always was close to the Vienna Secession" (cf. AKL LII, 462). For Geyling, "Klimt, Hoffmann, Roller, Olbrich were not only my colleagues, but also my friends, and many a night did we debate about the 'new and pure art'" (cf. Remigius Geyling erzählt, aufgezeichnet von Gerald Szyszkowitz. In: Nebehay/Krug, pp. 5-8, here: p. 7). These nights apparently offered numerous opportunities for Geyling's portrait studies: apart from the portraits of the aforesaid, the present collection contains a picture of the frequent Tivoli patron Egon Schiele (from the year of his death) as well as a portrait of Adolf Loos, drawn in the famous Café Museum. It was probably here where also Karl Kraus (entitled "Fackl-Kraus" by the artist) sat for Geyling. The great painter enjoyed an especially close relationship to Gustav Klimt: for many years he belonged to the circle of those who shared breakfast with Klimt at the Tivoli (cf. Nebehay/Krug, p. 3). In that legendary restaurant at the Green Hill in Vienna's Meidling district, he drew the two portraits of Klimt in May 1905. Together with Peter Altenberg and Otto Wagner, Klimt is one of the few persons whom Geyling sketched in more than one portrait only (all on a single page). It was upon Klimt's recommendation that Geyling was hired as head of decorations at the "Neue Wiener Bühnen" in 1910; his first production was the premiere of Schnitzler's "Undiscovered Country". It was during the rehearsals for this production, on 14 October 1911, that Geyling produced the present portrait of Schnitzler. Schnitzler's two letters to Geyling concern their joint project of a "Medardus movie". Geyling had worked as decorator for the most important Austrian film productions. So successfully had he transferred the stylistic devices of the Wiener Werkstätte into historical tragedy that in 1924 Fritz Lang used Geyling's designs for his great silent "Nibelungen" series (cf. AKL LII, 462). - Provenance: From a Viennese private collection, to which the artist himself sold both portfolios. Nos. 6-8 and 18, 21 and 22 are each illustrated in full-page size in: Ch. M. Nebehay & H. Krug (eds.). Remigius Geyling. Künstler und Literaten. Gezeichnet in Wien um 1900. Wien 1974. (= Jahresgabe der Wiener Bibliophilengesellschaft). This work does not describe the present collection; all other drawings are unpublished.

Folio (290 x 388 mm). 12 matted portrait etchings, individually numbered and signed by the artists as well as the sitters. Stored in publisher's original portfolio with vellum spine and gilt title to papered boards.

The sitters are Lovis Corinth, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Gerhart Hauptmann, Wolfgang Heine, Ludwig von Hofmann, Arno Holz, Arthur Nikisch, Wilhelm Ostwald, Max Reinhardt, Richard Strauss, and August von Wassermann; the artists were Eduard Einschlag, Friedrich (Bedrich) Feigl, Ivo Hauptmann, Ernst Oppler, Robert Friedrich Karl Scholtz, and Walter Zeising (one etching each) as well as Hermann Struck (six etchings).

Extremely rare: libraries record a single copy of the sequel ("Köpfe 1921"), a series of only nine portraits that the publisher issued the following year (National Library of Israel).

[La Chatre, Pierre-Denis de], officer of the Empire and Baron (1763-1820).
2 miniatures. No place, [ca. 1805].
60 mm (diameter) and 62 x 75 mm. In their original brass and wooden frames. Half-length portrait of baron de La Châtre, the father of the publisher Maurice Lachâtre, with the decoration of the "Légion d'honneur" clearly visible on his robe. He was born and died in Issoudun, was appointed a knight on 12 December 1803 and promoted to the rank of an officer on 14 June 1804. He participated in the Revolutionary Wars as well as in the Napoleonic Wars, reaching the rank of colonel, and was granted the title of a "Baron de l'Empire" on 19 March 1808. Narrow cracks in the portrait; small flaw at lower margin. - Half-length portrait of his wife and the mother of Maurice Lachâtre, Élisabeth-Constance Séonnet (born on 23 June 1784 in Issoudun, died on 13 November 1860 in Maisons-Laffitte), in a sitting position, her left arm resting on the back of the chair, wearing a white dress and a furry scarf round her shoulders. The miniature was probably created soon after her wedding on 13 April 1803. Marginal flaw to wooden frame.

[LAFRERI - DUCHETTI - FLORINI - MAPS AND ENGRAVINGS - ITALY].
Large album with 16th-century maps and engravings of Italy.
Italy 1550. Large oblong folio ca. 59 x 42.3 cm. 17th-century gold-tooled brown calf sewn on 6 supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine a red morocco title label on the spine with the title "Novissima urbis Romae descriptio" lettered in gold gold-tooled board edges. With 76 full-page engravings and 12 full-page etchings. Remarkable album with 77 beautiful examples of 16th-century Italian cartography all in very fine dark impressions. The collection includes plans of important Italian towns such as Rome Venice Genoa Naples Milan Florence Palermo Siena Bologna and Pisa as well as detailed views of individual buildings and monuments in Rome. They are engraved by several cartographers from the school of Antonio Lafreri 1512-1577 primarily Claudio Duchetti d. 1585 Matteo Florimi d. 1613 and Lafreri himself. Florimi's works are among the rarest of the Lafreri school map makers especially his Siena imprints of which several have here been included.In the middle of the 16th century Italy was the centre of map production and distribution in Europe. This industry primarily took place in Venice and Rome. The most notable of the publishers in Rome was Lafreri. His most important and most popular work is the Speculum Romanae magnificentiae a collection of plans an views of Rome's monuments; no two copies of the Speculum are the same. The present collection contains more than thirty plates from the Speculum. When Lafreri died his nephew Claudio Duchetti inherited the company. He continued to produce the Speculum plates but often made small adjustments and signed his own name at the bottom. Most of the Speculum plates in the present album are by Duchetti. After his death the copperplates were sold to other publishers such as Giovanni Orlandi before 1590-after 1640 who reissued them. The majority of the plates in the present album were printed by Orlandi in 1602.The album further contains 32 engraved city plans mostly of Italian towns although a few foreign cities are also included; one of the rarest is the view of Moscow which is also included here. The collection ends with a incomplete series of 11 etchings of landscapes and biblical scenes.A list of contents is available upon request.With the bookplate of Louis Routy de Charodon seigneur de Grésigny and Charodon 1710-1794 on the front pastedown and remnants of another bookplate above. The boards are somewhat scratched and stained the spine shows traces of use the edges of the boards have been professionally restored and the boards have been lengthened to fit the maps. The maps are slightly browned some are slightly foxed the first few maps have been mounted onto 17th-century leaves the longer maps are somewhat soiled on the fore edge three maps are restored at the fore edge and one at the bottom edge some maps have been cut slightly short. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Parshall P. "Antonio Lafreri's "Speculum Romanae magnificentiae"" in: Print Quarterly vol. 23 1 2006 pp. 3-28. hardcover

[Mary Magdalene].
Coloured and "dressed" devotional print of Mary Magdalene. Probably France, mid-18th century.
255 x 180 mm. Copperprint engraving, cut, hand-coloured and dressed with several fabric fragments, some with metallic threads, metallic lace details, and ground glass. Stitched at an early date to a ruled paper mount. Later giltwood frame and glazing with framer’s label ("Collard Doreur sur bois. Versailles’", ca. 1830-40). Striking and well-preserved example of a so-called "dressed print", based on a devotional engraving of Mary Magdalene by the German engraver and publisher Martin Engelbrecht (1684-1756), dating to the mid-18th century. The materials and style of the adornments point to the 18th century, though a later reuse of older fabrics cannot be ruled out. As often, the dressing has been ingeniously applied both under and over the surface of the original engraving. The penitent Mary Magdalene has been modified by being pasted onto glazed paper, producing a dramatic black-sky background, her body is embellished with three different brocade fabrics (two with metallic threads), and the print was further enhanced with hand-colouring, some metallic lace and ground glass. The saint is characterized by her traditional attributes of a cross, a book, a myrrh jar, a straw mat, and a skull, while her left foot rests on a globe or orb. The precious clothes that were added to Mary Magdalene, who is usually just covered by her long open hair as an expression of her ascetism and atonement, almost transforms her into a celestial Mary, thus altering the meaning of the engraving. - The fashion for dressing prints existed probably from the beginning of printed illustrations themselves, though it was a widespread, predominantly female recreation, especially in nunneries and convents, during the 17th and 18th centuries. Dressed prints were often overlooked by art historians and, due to their fragile nature, are rarely preserved in such good condition.

[MODE]
Almanach des Modes et de la Parure
1804 Couverture rigide Paris, Marcilly, 1804. Un volume in-24 (11 x 6,5 cm), cartonnage maroquiné de l'éditeur, dos lisse orné, roulette dorée d'encadrement sur les plats, fermoir maroquiné (sans son crayon), tranches dorées, coiffe supérieure fendue, coins émoussés. Titre gravé, calendrier révolutionnaire en 2 feuillets dépliants ornés de petits bandeaux illustrés, 1-20 et 45-62 pages (pagination non continue), 24 pages et 21-44 pages (pagination non continue), 30 feuillets blancs avec filigrane destinés à la prise de notes, almanach illustré de 12 figures gravées autour de la mode, rousseurs éparses. La pagination non continue s'explique par le fait que les feuillets dédiés au budget (pages 21-44) ont été déplacés en fin d'ouvrage ; exemplaire bien complet. Sous le Premier Empire, les almanachs étaient des publications très prisées, mêlant informations pratiques, divertissement et illustrations. Ils pouvaient être généralistes ou spécialisés, comme l’Almanach des Modes et de la Parure. Le nôtre contient des chansons, des notices historiques sur la mode et la toilette, ainsi que des pages dédiées à la gestion du budget, et en fin d’ouvrage, des feuillets blancs pour prendre des notes. Charmant almanach illustré témoignant de l’élégance du Premier Empire. Bon exemplaire, en assez bon état.
