Bulino misure: mm 418 x 280 Editore ed incisore francese stabilitosi a Roma nel 1585 dove lavora nella bottega dello stampatore Claudio Duchetti allievo di Antonio Lafrery. Abbiamo scarse notizie riguardanti la sua vita, ma sappiamo che è stato il primo maestro di Jacques Callot il quale ha imparato la professione di incisore nel laboratorio di Thomassin al suo arrivo a Roma nel 1609 all'età di 17 anni. Nel 1588 insieme al cognato, il pittore Jean Turpin, crea una società ristampando vecchie lastre che Thomassin aveva restaurato o realizzandone di nuove (soprattutto soggetti religiosi da Barocci, Antonio Tempesta e Francesco Vanni), a Turpin invece spettava il compito della loro edizione e commercializzazione. Il loro sodalizio si concluse nel 1602 in seguito alla morte della moglie di Thomassin sorella della moglie di Turpin. L’autore lasciò a Turpin circa duecentoquaranta lastre che Turpin continuò a stampare prive del nome di Thomassin. Questa stampa è tratta da un'invenzione di Michelangelo Buonarroti. Tra il 1532 e il 1533 Michelangelo creò una serie di disegni mitologici, di altissima qualità, per il giovane nobile Tommaso de Cavalieri come segno della loro amicizia. Questi disegni a gessetto acquisirono grande fama e subito dopo la loro esecuzione divennero oggetti molto ambiti dai collezionisti e per questo copiati da diversi incisori. In questa stampa, nella parte superiore del foglio, assistiamo al rapimento del giovane pastore Ganimede. Egli viene portato in cielo tra un turbinio di nubi da Giove il quale ha assunto le sembianze di un aquila. Il giovane ragazzo ha un corpo scultoreo, classicheggiante, il volto sofferente è incorniciato da folti capelli mossi dal vento così come il mantello rigonfio e ricco di contrasti chiaroscurali. La posa ci fa pensare che egli si abbandoni alla presa dell'aquila che spiega le sue ali e affonda gli artigli nelle gambe del ragazzo separandolo con sguardo fiero e pauroso dalla terra. In basso, in un paesaggio contraddistinto da catene montuose, città arroccate e imbarcazioni a vela che solcano, sulla sinistra, il mare in lontananza, troviamo su di una roccia il cane del giovane. L’animale abbaia rivolgendo il muso al suo padrone. ha i muscoli in tensione e la bocca aperta con i denti ben visibili. In basso entro il paesaggio si legge "Michael Ang. Bonar. In. / Phil. Thomassinus exc. Romae" e il titolo entro una sorta di cartiglio. Impressione eccellente, toni nitidi e neri decisi. Con grande abilità dell'uso del bulino i contrasti chiaroscurali creano profondità e definiscono i volumi. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Margini regolari oltre la battuta del rame. Filigrana: "giglio nel cerchio con le lettere B e V" simile a Briquet n7118, 7119. Italia centrale, carta databile alla fine del Cinquecento. Si conosce un’altra versione simile alla nostra e attribuita dalla Bianchi a Beatricetto con l'indicazione della data 1542 incisa sulla lingua del cane e con l’indirizzo di Lafrery nel secondo stato. Della lastra di Thomassin si segnalano due esemplari: uno presso il British Museum (V,2.111) e l’altro a Brescia presso la Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo.

1665Best.-Nr. 122984Paris: par la Compagnie des Libraires du Palais 1665. Later edition first 1633 of one of the great political treatises of the 17th century by the diplomat-bibliophile Philippe de Béthune 1561/6-1649. Béthune started his career as a "mignon" of Henri III before becoming conseiller du roi in 1599 and ambassador in Rome for Henri IV in 1601 after which point he completed several other diplomatic missions to Rome in 1624 and 1630. "Béthune's treatise was the work of a man at the end of his career who had served the monarchy at home and abroad through the bumpy years of dynastic transition and who thanks to his longevity had witnessed the crisis of the religious wars as well as France's slow rise from the ashes thereafter. He brought to bear his wide knowledge and experience of French government but also his thorough acquaintance with Rome and Italy and both informed the political ideas he mobilised in his treatise" Reinhardt p. 56. Le conseiller d'Etat ran to five editions between 1632 and 1665 testament to its profound influence at the time.

1892Best.-Nr. 185348Paris: G. Masson 1892. An infrastructural and political revolution First and sole edition presentation copy signed on the dedication page "Hommage à Monsieur Gournay curé de Vertou. P. Bunau-Varilla 12 Septembre 1893". This comprehensive study was written by one of the driving forces behind the Panama Canal alongside de Lesseps. Most institutions list the text volume alone lacking the elaborate prospectus volume. Bunau-Varilla 1859-1940 was first sent to Panama in 1884 by the Compagnie Universelle du Canal Interocéanique where he rose to the position of chief engineer of the new canal. The attempt failed in 1889 and the company was dissolved after which he wrote a number of books to document and build support for the project's resumption. In this volume he both describes the work completed so far and his plan to complete the canal with locks. He "distributed copies of his book to the French Parliamentaries. However it did not meet any audience. as the Champer of Deputies' members did no want to be involved again in the burning subject of the Panama Canal" Loizillon p. 333 Bunau-Varilla tried again in 1894 and soon became a prominent figure in US-Panama relations. In particular when Colombia refused to ratify a treaty granting the United States rights to build the canal he encouraged the Panamanians to declare independence and his wife designed their new flag. He later signed the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty giving the US control over the canal despite local protests. The canal would continue to occupy a central position in both the infrastructural and political development of Central America. This work contains a large number of photographic illustrations showing the construction as well as colour diagrams describing the geology of the area. The identity of Monsieur Gournay is unclear and there are no records linking Bunau-Varilla to the commune of Vertou. 2 vols quarto.

1602Best.-Nr. 12702Amsterdam Herman de Buck 1602. 12 287 5 folia. Origineel overslaand Perkament 4°. Goed exemplaar van de eerste druk van deze verdediging van de waarheid van de christelijke religie. Eigenaarsnaam in oud handschrift op het eerste vrije schutblad: ""J. v. Vliet Boskoop Voorganger chr. Geref. Gem."". De originele band is vlekkerig en heeft aan beide zijden goudstempels. Op de rug is naast het originele titelopschrift nog een keer de titel geschreven in later handschrift. Philippe du Plessis-Mornay 1549 - 1623 was een Frans protestants theoloog staatsman en leider van de hugenoten. Na zijn studie in Parijs diende hij onder Hendrik I van Bourbon-Condé in de Tweede Franse Godsdienstoorlog. Hij overleefde in 1572 ternauwernood de Bartholomeusnacht door naar Engeland te vluchten. Vervolgens ging Mornay werken voor Frans van Anjou en namens hem trad hij in contact met Lodewijk van Nassau over eventuele steun van de hertog aan de militaire campagnes in de Nederlanden. In 1576 trad hij in dienst van koning Hendrik van Navarra en deze zag het belang in van het slagen van de Nederlandse Opstand en leende daarom Mornay tot aan het jaar 1582 met enige regelmaat uit aan Willem van Oranje. Hij behoorde samen met Marnix Villiers en Taffin tot de naaste medewerkers van de Prins. In 1589 werd Mornay aangesteld als gouverneur van Saumur waar hij een protestantse kerk liet bouwen en in 1593 een protestantse academie oprichtte. Hij bleef in zijn activiteiten zoeken naar religieuze tolerantie en hij was betrokken bij de totstandkoming van het Edict van Nantes in 1598. Toen de vervolgingen van protestanten weer op gang kwam tijdens de regering van Lodewijk XIII van Frankrijk werd zijn gouverneurschap hem ontnomen en ging Mornay met pensioen. Hij leefde tot aan zijn dood in zijn kasteel in de Poitou. Hij schreef naast enkele vlugschriften gericht tegen Spanje ook mee aan de Apologie van Willem van Oranje in 1580.

Batavia Jakarta Jakarta Amsterdam s. d. 1780 12.5 x 18.7 cm Broché This critical survey of the Dutch possessions in Indonesia survives in three versions English French and Dutch without it being possible to determine with certainty which constitutes the original edition.Only three copies are recorded in the CCF. Written at the outset of the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War 17801784 triggered by the early recognition of American independence by the United Provinces this pamphlet seeks to highlight the weaknesses of the administration of the Dutch East India Company and the vulnerability of its possessions to a French or British attack.In fact hostilities quickly turned to the disadvantage of the Dutch who in 1784 were compelled to make numerous colonial concessions following the Treaty of Paris. Philippe Fermin or Firmin 17201790 was a colonial physician who spent most of his life in Suriname which he famously described but he also published on various other colonial subjects.A disbound copy presented in a modern temporary marbled paper wrapper; page 13 has been slightly trimmed resulting in the loss of a letter at the end of certain words; a few light spots of foxing. s. n. unknown
