ENGRAVINGS. FOUR VICTORIAN ILLUSTRATED BOOKS WITH FINE ENGRAVINGS: HAYTER JOHN
THE COURT ALBUM. and HEATH CHARLES. THE WAVERLEY GALLERY. and HEATH'S PICTURESQUE ANNUAL FOR 1832: RITCHIE LEITCH. TRAVELLING SKETCHES IN THE NORTH OF ITALY THE TYROL AND ON THE RHINE. and THE TOURIST IN WALES
London 1832-58. Quartos. 26 leaves; 40 leaves of text 1 leaf ads; iv 4 256 pp. errata slip; 2 p.l. 192 pp. Four separately published works. Court Album in blue publisher's cloth decorated in gilt and blind; "Waverley Gallery" in green half morocco over green cloth raised bands spine gilt in compartments with central fleuron; "Heath's Picturesque Annual" in publisher's red morocco decorated in gilt and blind; "Tourist in Wales" in half calf over purple buckram raised bands spine panels with gilt floral sprig at center. Court Album with 14 engraved portraits of female aristocrats; "Waverley Gallery" with 36 engravings of the principal female characters in Sir Walter Scott's romances; "Heath's Picturesque Annual" with extra engraved title page and 26 engravings by Ritchie after drawings by Clarkson Stanfield; "Tourist in Wales" with extra engraved title page and 49 engravings of views. Bindings with minor imperfections but all solid and pleasing; occasional mild offsetting or minor marginal foxing a couple of short marginal tears to text leaves bur excellent copies internally the text clean and fresh the plates bright with fine impressions. These are appealing examples of the illustrated works that were so popular in the Victorian era providing readers with glimpses of the nobility images of their favorite literary characters and the opportunity to enjoy dramatic scenery from the comfort of their drawing rooms. The first two works here contain portraits of beautiful women both real society belles and heroines of bestselling romances. The latter two transport the armchair traveller to the wilds of Wales to the Austrian and Italian Alps and to the Rhine River. Although in black and white the engravings are so detailed and finely executed particularly in the use of shadow and light that both portraits and landscapes come to life. In the days before photography--much less streaming videos--books like these brought beauty and imagination into everyday lives. unknown

Boyd Hanna Wood Engravings
The Story of the Nativity in Woodcuts
Peter Pauper Press Mount Vernon 1950 Beautiful and unpretentious small press edition. While this is not a dated first edition - there is no date other than the neat inscription on the front endpaper which clearly states '1956' - the unsullied specially made paper has gorgeous clean pulls of the 26 engravings. So this might just be a first printing. There is a blind stamp of a former owner on the same page too. These are faults but they are not intrusive. The jacket has protected the decorated cover boards which look fresh and beautiful. Boyd Hanna was a superb craftsman and the engravings are all on the right hand pages. The King James text is beautifully clear in red Waverley type. Language: eng. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Peter Pauper Press, Mount Vernon hardcover

GOETHE Moritz Retzsh Engravings
FAUST - Rare Bound Set
1820 Faust was Goethe's most celebrated creation with international editions films and books. This is a complete set of the 26 engravings Moritz Retzsh produced and it has no words in it no printing details no publisher. What it does have is a fabulous set of the original plate pulls complete with plate marks. Friedrich August Moritz Retzsch was a German painter draughtsman and etcher. This is in a way a fine example of what is now called the graphic novel. The 26 etched pictures tell the story and words are not needed. In Germany there were many such books without words and this one in particular influenced the English Pre Raphaelites. This volume is in its original binding with a leather spine which turns around to the marbled cover boards. The corners are leather also and the spine has five subtly raised bands and no title. A much poorer copy of this was featured in the exhibition of Pre Raphaelites at Tate Britain. This is by no means a fine copy. It has been used and looked at probably a great deal over the last 200 years or so and the leather is worn the marbled covers are patinated and there is a mixture of names and an inscription on the front end paper. It is rare. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng. International Edition. Hardcover. Good. hardcover
