‎ROWLANDSON Thomas - Ackermann Rudolph‎

‎The Poetical Magazine; Dedicated to the Lovers of the Muse. Volume I. By The Agent Of The Goddess, R. Ackermann (With illustrations by Thomas Rowlandson and others).‎

‎(R. Ackermann). (May to October 1809). IV, Seite 5 bis 404 and 4 pages Index. With an engraved title page and 11 hand-coloured plates. Späterer, schlichter Halbleder-Einband mit Rückentitel.

‎* Eine Farbtafel am unteren Rand mit Fehlstelle. Die Tafeln zeigen u.a. auch je eine Ansicht von Neapel, vom Comer See und von Conway Castle. --- Thomas Rowlandson (* 13. Juli 1756 in London; ? 21. April 1827 ebenda) war ein englischer Maler und Karikaturist. Rowlandson studierte an der Londoner Königlichen Kunstakademie und in Paris. In späteren Jahren folgten mehrere Reisen auf den Kontinent, von denen viele Zeichnungen und Skizzen überliefert sind (Naples and the Campagna Felice ?, 1815). Rowlandson begann mit Porträts und Landschaftsbildern, dann kam er über James Gillray und Henry William Bunbury zur Karikaturmalerei und fand damit Beachtung und Erfolge. Im Poetical Magazine des Verlegers Rudolph Ackermann (später auch in Buchform) erschien eine Vielzahl von kolorierten Aquatintablättern Rowlandsons, Bildfolgen zu Texten von William Combe wie The Three Tours of Dr. Syntax (1809, 1812?21), The English Dance of Death, 2 vols. (1815?16), The Dance of Life (1817). Die Illustrationen zum Microcosm of London (1808) wurden von Augustus Charles Pugin (Architektur) und Rowlandson (Personen) gemeinsam ausgeführt. Englische Journale druckten und verbreiteten seine Karikaturen, seine Zeichnungen illustrieren die Bücher von Henry Fielding, Tobias Smollett, Oliver Goldsmith und Laurence Sterne. Rowlandsons erotisch-pornographische Bilder finden bis heute Empörte wie Liebhaber. Rowlandson starb 1827 nach längerer Krankheit. (Quelle Wikipedia) --- Rudolph Ackermann (* 20. April 1764 in Stollberg, Kurfürstentum Sachsen; ? 30. März 1834 in London) war ein deutsch-britischer Buchhändler, Lithograf, Verleger und Unternehmer. Ursprünglich nach dem Besuch der Lateinschule wie sein Vater Sattler und Wagenbauer in verschiedenen deutschen Städten, in Paris und in London, eröffnete er 1795 eine Druckerei und eine Zeichenschule in der britischen Hauptstadt. Seit 1817 ergänzte er seine Repository of Arts, Literature, Fashion durch über seine Lithografiepresse hergestellten Bilder. Bekannte Künstler wie Thomas Rowlandson waren regelmäßig an diesen Ausgaben beteiligt. Ab 1825 gab er populäre Jahrbücher, beginnend mit Forget-me-not, heraus. Daneben legte er verschiedene Ausgaben mit Landschaftsdarstellungen auf, darunter Microcosm of London (1808?1810, 3 Bände), Westminster Abbey (1812, 2 Bände), The Rhine (1820), The World in Miniature (1821?1826, 43 Bände). Ackermann betätigte sich auch als Erfinder. So meldete er 1801 ein Patent für ein Verfahren an, durch das Papier und Stoffe wasserundurchlässig wurden, und errichtete zur Herstellung eine eigene Fabrik in Chelsea. Seine Werksgebäude wurden fortschrittlich mit Gas beleuchtet. 1817 ließ er für sich und Lankensperger die von Georg Lankensperger erfundene Achsschenkellenkung patentieren (siehe Ackermannsteuerung). Nach der Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig 1813 nutzte Ackermann seinen Bekanntheitsgrad und Einfluss und sammelte in England nahezu 250.000 £ für deutsche Notleidende. Ackermann motivierte seinen Neffen Wilhelm Heinrich Ackermann zur Annahme eines Hauslehrerpostens für junge Engländer, so dass dieser sich später zum Lehrer berufen fühlte und ein führender deutscher Pädagoge wurde.

‎Londra: Guglielmo Pickering. 1825. First Foscolo edition. First Foscolo edition. One of just 12 sets containing 11 engraved plates by Stothard in the proof state printed on India paper. Inscribed by the publisher William Pickering. Bound by Hayday in full fine crushed dark green morocco with gilt ruling and decoration to the boards and spine titles in gilt to the spine gilt dentelles and gilt to all page edges. Printed by S. & R. Bentley on fine laid paper. A very good copy with only minor rubbing and bumping to the boards. The contents with the armorial bookplate of Hugh Perkins to the front pastedown of each volume a previous owner's bookplate to the front free endpaper of volume one and some offsetting/toning to the pages either side of the plates are otherwise clean throughout. A beautiful set. Inscribed by the publisher William Pickering to the front endpaper of volume one "This copy contains a set of the plates by Stothard of which only 12 were taken upon India paper before the letters W. Pickering". A wonderful early nineteenth century edition of this masterpiece of early Italian literature notable for its lengthy introductory essay 'Discorso storico sul testo del Decamerone Foscolo' by the Italian poet Ugo Foscolo 1778-1827. Whilst living in London during the last eleven years of his life Foscolo a popular figure in fashionable literary and political circles produced several well-received dissertations on the central figures of Italian literature including Boccaccio Dante and Petrarch. His prefatory dedication to the present work is to the Whig politician and bibliophile Roger Wilbraham. In it Foscolo suggests that this new edition would make a fine addition to Wilbraham's collection of Italian literature which contained many of the rarest works of both ancient and modern poetry and romance and upon which Foscolo himself had drawn during the production of his writings. A superb copy of the important first Foscolo edition very scarce with the proof engravings. For an account see Vincent 'Ugo Foscolo: An Italian in Regency England' 1953.
