Barr, John
Britain Portrayed: A Regency Album, 1780-1830
Around the turn of the 19th century the towns, villages and countryside of Britain attained a level of picturesque beauty and charm that has been unsurpassed since. In watercolour drawing artists caught the changing light and weather to perfection, and in aquatint engravings their subtle tones could be reproduced in prints virtually indistinguishable from the originals. Here nearly 50 of the finest views and scenes in prints of the period are reproduced, their colours still as fresh and vivid today as when they were first published. Drawing upon contemporary accounts, John Barr provides a commentary of the artists, engravers and prints in this album which portrays the elegance and robust variety of Regency Britain for today's armchair tourist.A selection 50 illustrations reproduced from Topographical and Colour Plate Books of the Regency period [1790-1840] "providing today's armchair tourist with an album that faithfully portrays the elegance and robust variety of Regency Britain." 127p.illus.

Hughes is famous for his unforgettably rich and accomplished landscapes, primarily depicting the British Columbia coast.

[Charlotte Amalie von Hessen-Barchfeld]. - Calamo / Trinks, Heinrich David.
Tuschzeichnung mit eigenh. Widmungsgedicht zum 32. Geburtstag. [Wohl Meiningen], 10. VIII. 1762.
Zeichentusche auf Papier (Blattmaß 485:295 mm). Unter Passepartout (615:430 mm). Die schöne Dedikationszeichnung zeigt Apoll, auf eine geborstene Schrifttafel weisend. Auf derselben findet sich ein 21zeiliges kalligraphiertes Festgedicht: "Apollo spielt, die Gegend hört | Den Wunderklang der reinen Leyer; | Mir ist kein gleiches Glück beschert, | Ich lodre nicht in gleichem Feuer, | Nur Ehrfurcht ist's und wahre Treue | Die ich der Grosen Fürstin weyhe | [...]". Der Steinblock, auf dem Apolls Leier ruht, trägt außerdem eine 15zlg. Widmung "Der Durchlauchtigsten Fürstin und Frau, Frau Charlotten Amalien, Herzogin zu Sachsen, Jülich, Cleve und Berg auch Engern und Westphalen, Landgräfin zu Thüringen, Marggräfin zu Meissen, gefürsteten Gräfin zu Henneberg, Gräfin zu der Marck und Ravensberg, Frau zu Ravenstein, gebornen Landgräfin zu Hessen, Fürstin zu Hersfeld, Gräfin zu Katzenelnbogen, Diez, Ziegenhain, Nidda, Schaumburg und Hanau, auch Sayn und Witgenstein [...]"; am Schluß der Widmung vom Gratulanten Heinrich David Trinks in millimeterhoher Schrift signiert. Das Motiv von etwas Pflanzenstaffage eingerahmt; im Hintergrund ein Monopteros. Außerhalb des Rahmens vom sonst nicht nachgewiesenen Zeichner signiert: "Calamo delin." (nicht im AKL). - Charlotte Amalie (1730-1801) war die Tochter des Landgrafen Karl I. von Hessen-Philippsthal und seiner Gemahlin Christine von Sachsen-Eisenach. 1750 heiratete sie 20jährig den 43 Jahre älteren Herzog Anton Ulrich von Sachsen-Meiningen, dem sie in der verbleibenden Zeitspanne seines Lebens noch acht Kinder schenkte. 1763 übernahm sie als Vormund ihrer Söhne die Regentschaft im Herzogtum, das finanziell und wirtschaftlich völlig ruiniert war. Aufgrund ihrer straffen Reformen und Sparmaßnahmen, ihres wirtschaftlichen Wiederaufbaus und ihrer Förderung des geistigen Lebens gilt sie als "Retterin des Herzogtums". Die beliebte und volksverbundene Herzogin wurde nicht in der Fürstengruft, sondern gemäß ihrem Wunsch auf dem städtischen Friedhof begraben. - Hübsche Zeichnung als Jubiläumsgabe, womöglich auch Vorzeichnung für einen Kupferstich.

Draner [d. i. Renard, Jules Jean Georges].
Les Soldats de la République. L'Armee Française en Campagne. (Souvenirs du siège de Paris). Paris, Bureau d'Eclipse, [um 1872].
Kolor. Titelblatt und 31 kolor. lithogr. Tafeln. Lose in Originalmappe mit montiertem, wdh. Titelblatt. Reste von Bindebändern. Folio (262:338 mm). Mappenwerk des belgischen Zeichners und Karikaturisten Draner (Anagramm für Renard; 1833-1926), der ab 1861 in Paris lebte und neben seiner Arbeit für diverse Zeitschriften auch Theater- und Opernkostüme entwarf und mehrere Alben mit Bildern zum Militärleben veröffentlichte. "Draner interessiert sich stofflich vor allem für das Militär" (Thieme/B.). Die Tafeln zeigen die verschiedenen Soldaten der französischen Armee um 1870 ("Officier de Turcos", "Dragons", "Artillerie", "Chasseur d'Afrique" etc.). - Die Mappe leicht bestoßen; Titel und Ränder gering gebräunt bzw. vereinzelt unbedeutend fleckig.

Jené, Edgar, Maler (geb. 1904).
Naturgaben. Ein Gedicht aus dem Anakreon. 3 Holzschnitte von Edgar Jené. (Wien, um 1925-30).
4 Bll. (als Blockbuch gebunden) mit mont. handschriftl. Titel, 3 handschriftl. Gedichten [von Rudolf Pointner?] u. den 3 Orig.-Holzschnitten (ca. 25:18 cm) von Edgar Jené. Karton der Zeit mit marmor. Umschlag und hs. Deckelschild ("Naturgaben"). 4to. Wohl sehr frühe Arbeit des österreichischen Künstlers Edgar Jené, vermutlich nur in kleinster Auflage (vielleicht aber auch nur dieses eine Exemplar) handschriftlich hergestellt. Während die ersten beiden Holzschnitte noch unausgereift und unausgewogen wirken, hat das dritte Blatt bereits den für Jené so typischen surrealistischen Anklang.

"Privately printed at the command of Emperor Franz I and published in a very small press run, not available to the common public [...] Shows views, interiors, decorations, etc. [...] The plates are not captioned or numbered" (cf. Nebehay/W.). Drawn by Jakob Alt, Johann Rupp, Carl Bschor, and Albert von Radmannsdorf. - Slight fingerstaining and foxing (usually confined to margins); some small tears. Portfolio is rather severly rubbed. Wants nos. 1, 4-6, 15-17, and 20. The view of the castle from the South is a lithograph by Jakob von Alt, not an anonymous etching as in the Albertina copy. No. 7 ("Gothische Brücke") is a trial print from the collection of the great Austrian otologist Adam Politzer (1835-1920), whose collection was sold by Schwarz in 1922 (cf. Lugt 2037 and 2741). "Il collectionnait depuis 1870 environ, sans système bien défini, mais seulement d'après son goût artistique [...] L' amateur a consacré une attention spéciale à la lithographie, de ses debuts à l'année 1880" (Lugt, p. 513). Nebehay/Wagner 359. H. Schwarz (Anfänge der Lithographie in Österr.) 76.
