[Lorck, Melchior (artist) / Happel, Eberhard Werner (ed.)].
Der Türckische Schau-Platz. Eröffnet und fürgestelt in sehr vielen nach dem Leben gezeichneten Figuren [...]. Hamburg, Thomas von Wiering, (1683-)1685.
Folio (210 x 340 mm). (12), 136 (instead of 138) ff. With one engraved folded map, one engraved folded view and 138 woodcut illustrations in the text (including 15 views). Contemporary full vellum with ms. spine title. A very rare and extraordinarily interesting volume published as a series of bi-weekly news sheets in the wake of the 1683 siege of Vienna, consisting of single sheets, each with a title ("Türckis. Estats- und Krieges-Bericht") and number, a woodcut on the recto, and from no. 76 onward a date (26 May through 22 Dec. 1684). This series of more than 130 large woodcuts by Melchior Lorck, the Danish draughtsman who only recently was hailed as "one of the sixteenth century's most original artists" and to whose life and work the publication of a five-volume monograph by E. Fischer (cf. below) paid ample tribute, provides us with the hitherto most extensive western-commissioned visual record of Ottoman society and Islamic culture in general. It is here published for the first time with the accompanying text written by the artist himself during two extended stays in Constantinople. Only two copies recorded at auction, the last one being incomplete, with three leaves missing, and heavily restored with the title-page and map partly supplied in facsimile (Christie's London, 13 July 2016, lot 188, £74,500). - The editor is suggested to have been E. W. Happel, an active miscellaneous writer of the period best known for his "Thesaurus exoticorum". In the introduction he states that the aim of the publication was to present a report on Turkish society, customs, beliefs, manners, as well as fortifications and recent battles. The work is prefaced by an account of the Battle of Vienna, including an engraved map showing the territories between Vienna and Constantinople and an engraved view depicting the siege. Lorck's illustrations fall into several groups: first, those of people and things, consisting of pictures of natives of different parts of the Ottoman Empire, different grades of person and trades, with a few plates of horses or things (no. 87: a Tartar covered wagon; no. 92: reproductions of Turkish coins). Then comes a group of views of towns, Damascus, Smyrna (93-98), portraits of lady sultans (99-104), followed by some more individual types (including a dervish), then views of the great mosques of Contantinople, including the Hagia Sophia and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (113-122), then more pictures of animals (horses, including an Arab horse, camels), individuals and things such as Turkish standards (123-136). The accompanying text describes each image in some detail and is printed across the page. It is followed (printed in a smaller type and in two columns) by contemporary news dated from 2 September to 24 December 1684. - A complete, continuous run of the first 136 issues of these news sheets as issued from 1683 onwards and jointly re-issued with a general title-page and prefatory matter in 1685; the final, double page issue (no. 137, titled "Das Türkische Kirchen-Gemählde") was obviously never bound with this set. Variously browned; slight worming to pastedown, flyleaf and title-page. Old ownership of Friedrich Engl of Wagrain on title-page; later ownership "Seiffenburg" to flyleaf. Latterly in the library of the Viennese collector Werner Habel (1939-2015) with his ownership stamp. An excellent, genuine copy in its original binding, especially in comparison with the few copies traceable in libraries and the two recorded at auction. Erik Fischer, Melchior Lorck (2009), vol. III, passim. Atabey (Sotheby's cat.) 1594. Sturminger 2635. VD 17, 23:231261H. Not in Blackmer, Kábdebo, or Koc.

"Zimmerreisen", zunächst als Parodie auf die zahlreichen Reiseberichte jener Zeit zu lesen.- Das im Anhang abgedruckte Werk (dt. 'Der Aussätzige von Aosta') entstand etwa 20 Jahre nach der 'Reise', als der Autor - Konterrevolutionär und Gegner der französ. Revolution - noch in Diensten der russischen Armee stand.

[Malaysia - Istana Besar].
Set of 3 photographs. [Singapore, ca. 1880-1900.
3 albumen prints. 265 x 210 mm. Each mounted on a cardboard carrier (330 x 420 mm). Handwritten German captions. Excellent professional photographs of Istana Besar, the royal palace of the Sultan of Johor in Johor Bahru. The residence was built in 1866 by Sultan Abu Bakar overlooking the Straits of Johor. The set comprises an external view of the residence as well as two images showing off the monarch's luxurious salon and dining room, featuring delicate furniture, large chandeliers and enormous vases, as well as paintings and a grand piano. - The photos were presumably taken by G. R. Lambert & Co., a Singapore photo studio founded in 1875 by the Berlin-born photographer Gustav Lambert. Setting up bases in the Deli Sultanate, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, and Borneo, the company quickly advanced to the biggest photo studio on the Malay Peninsula, producing some 3,000 images of the Far East at the turn of the century alone. - Cardboard somewhat browned and slightly foxed; images crisp and clean.

[manuscript; travel sketchbook]
1893 sketchbook of an Americans spring tour of key monuments in Europe
1893. Hardcover. Fine. Dated 1893 sketchbook album in oblong 12mo 120 x 170mm manuscript in pencil with drawings and notes; 40 cream sheets lightly aged at edges 2 sheets are blank. The sketches are generally of building façades captured from a distance but also with some extreme close-ups of sculptural details or decoration on the monuments from gothic towers to ornate door hinges. Some sketches are accompanied with notes by the artist and most are captioned with the site or dated with the month and year being 93. The formatting of the date and spelling throughout suggest this album belonged to an American traveler who visited several sites in Western Europe during the spring of 1893. The drawings are accomplished works of art done by a skillful hand perhaps a novice architect others are barely sketched perhaps unfinished but displaying an interesting narrative which weaves moments of voyage through Martigny St. Maurice and Lausanne in Switzerland; Heidelberg Castle Mainz Cathedral Mayence and Cologne Germany; Utrecht and Holland; and cathedrals at Soissons and Reims in France. Original canvas covers with elastic strap somewhat loose back cover splitting otherwise sound and in very good condition. Inside there is a label of the Carlo Cogiola store in Milan. A great little item full of classic yet original views of historical churches and building parts. <br/><br/> hardcover

The anonymous author - indicating himself with his initials "J.F. v. H. St." - has composed the poem at the manor house “Adegeest” at Voorschoten between The Hague and Leiden and has dated his work: “Mars deleted and 1 April 1853. At the time the manor house was in the possession of the very rich family Dorrepad. G.L. Dorrepad 1816-1883 was an entrepreneur who had gathered his wealth in the Dutch East Indies he was involved f.e. in a notorious financial scandal denounced by the famous Sicco Roorda van Eysinga.

Citing Cicero Lord Byron Alexandre Dumas and many others he concentrates on classical Greece and Italy and the Mediterranean.Contents: pp. I-V; Avertissement; 1-53: Chant premier; 55-81: Notes; 1-61: Chant second; 63-120: Notes; I-VI Avertissement; 1-68: Chant trousième; 69-132: Notes; 1-76: Chant quatrième; 77-136: Notes.Cover rubbed and spine damaged otherwise in good condition. unknown
