réf. 104-Do.J. Sepia-Pinsel über Bleistift, auf Bütten. 17,9:21,9 cm. Aus dem Album ?Scizzen nach der Natur bey München? (vgl. Ausst. Katalog: Franz Kobell. Ein Zeichner zwischen Idylle und Realismus, München 2005, S. 17, Abbildung des Albums). Vergleichsliteratur: Katalog: Deutsche Landschaftszeichnungen des 18. Jahrhunderts aus der Graphischen Sammlung Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Stuttgart 1985, Nrn. 32 u. 33; Th. Herbig: Franz Kobell.

Die Künstlerfamilie Kobell, Mannheim/München 1993, Nrn. 38-42, mit Farbabb.; Ausst. Katalog: Franz Kobell, München 2005, Farbabb. S. 40-75. ?Zu den Überraschungen im zeichnerischen ?uvre Franz Kobells gehören die zahlreichen Skizzen, die ohne Vorzeichnung mit dem Pinsel in Sepia ausgeführt sind [...] In dieser Art der Landschaftssicht und in ihrer zeichnerischen Umsetzung löst sich Franz Kobell von der Tradition des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts und darf darin als einer der frühen Vertreter realistischer Landschaftsdarstellung angesehen werden. Da Zeichenstil und Auffassung unverändert bleiben, ist die Datierung nicht eindeutig möglich. Erste Blätter dieser Art dürften bereits im letzten Jahrzehnt des 18. Jahrhunderts entstanden sein.? (zitiert aus: Kat. Graphische Sammlung Staatsgalerie Stuttgart 1985, S. 72). Das als ?Gespensterschlößl? oder ?Rockerl? bezeichnete Bastionsschlößchen, gehörte zu den Resten der Wallbefestigungen an der heutigen Galeriestraße. Es wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts von der Akademie der Wissenschaften als Sternwarte benutzt. Vor dem 1886 erfolgten Abbruch war hier die Gastwirtschaft ?Maigarten? untergebracht. Die Bezeichnung ?Rockerl leitet seinen Namen vermutlich von einem dort früher bestehenden kurfürstlichen ?rocolo? (Vogelherd) ab. Einer anderen Ableitung zufolge käme das Wort von Rocaille = Grottenwerk, Grottenarbeit, wie sie im 17. Jahrhundert sehr gebräuchlich war.

1920réf. 192348Japan: 19th - early 20th century. With designs for lost carvings on Japan's most decorated shrine A vivid album collecting together drawings of bird carvings on the shrines at Nikko. Over 5000 sculptures many first carved in the 17th century adorn these buildings the most famous of which houses the first Tokugawa shogun's mausoleum. The caption on one of the designs states that the carving itself has since been destroyed and used to sit above a meeting spot. The shrines and temples of Nikko designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 encompass over 100 buildings decorated with hand-carved sculptures of dragons phoenixes birds and human figures. Those adorning Nikko Toshogu the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu were produced by master craftsmen brought in from across Japan. These included Hidari Jingoro a legendary sculptor who despite only having his left arm possessed a Pygmalion-like ability to produce lifelike carvings of people and animals. The deft illustrations in this album focus on the carvings of birds including songbirds sparrows magpies rainbow-tailed Chinese phoenixes and ducks. Three are captioned with a note saying that they stand above a general-purpose room goyojo while a fourth states that the original artwork no longer exists. 3 albums landscape quarto concertina-bound.

réf. 46404668SUPERBE ET PRÉCIEUX MANUSCRIT soigneusement calligraphié d’une traduction inédite du traité d’architecture de Vincent Scamozzi. Il s’agit du principal traité d’architecture classique de cette époque, en 35 chapitres et une conclusion. Ce livre est connu en français depuis 1685 grâce à la traduction d’Aviler sous le titre Les cinq ordres de l’architecture ou Le sixième livre d’architecture de Vincent Scamozzi. La traduction diffère parfois assez fortement de celle de d’Aviler. D’Aviler précise dans une introduction à l’édition de 1685 qu’il a pris des libertés vis à vis du texte original afin d’en restituer au mieux le sens général. La version de Lefebvre de Chassenay est peut-être plus fidèle à l’originale italienne. Le manuscrit est orné de 38 planches hors-texte dessinées à la plume reproduisant les planches des éditions tant italiennes que françaises (les illustrations de l’originale italienne ayant été réemployées pour la traduction française).Un article de Louis Thuillier donne quelques précisions sur Théodore Lefebvre de Chassenay dans Le Marteau Pilon 1995-96 : “Un des personnages clefs de la métallurgie nivernaise entre 1690 et 1715 : cet ingénieur devenu “écrivain général de la Marine” était aussi un inventeur, et on assure que Trésaguet était son prête-nom (il aurait entrepris la fourniture des ancres sous le nom de Trésaguet)” Lefebvre de Chassenay avait inventé une machine pour les ancres vers 1710. Il exploitait la fonderie de Thiot et le fourneau de Sardolles en société avec Prisye de Limoux. À Toulon il était associé avec un sieur Renou dans une entreprise pour ouvrages de la Marine. Il est mort à Toulon en 1721. Sa fille unique, Dorothée Lefebvre avait épousé en 1714, François Bouys.Voir aussi Jacques Gay. Les promoteurs du progrès technique pour la fabrication des ancres en Nivernais autour des années 1700 in Innovations métallurgiques 1996.Sur la garde on trouve l’ex-libris manuscrit de Lefebvre de Chassenay, ainsi que celle de son gendre Bouys. La signature de Bouys se trouve aussi sur la première page du manuscrit.

Prima rara edizione di quest’opera che è considerata la prima vera e propria bibliografia dell’architettura. Concepita come più ampia, i lavori s’interruppero per la scomparsa prematura di Comolli.

Copia estremamente bella, con l’invio autografo del Comolli. In -4 °, four volumes .; contemporary cardboard with deckle edges. Ex dono auctoris copy. Rare first edition of this work which is considered the first real bibliography of architecture. Conceived as larger, the works were interrupted by the premature death of Comolli.

Extremely beautiful copy, ex dono auctoris.

With six engraved vignettes and 80 ENGRAVED PLATES AND PLANS five hand-colored one double-page some with more than one illustration on each plate original tissue guards. A Large Paper Copy. Brunet II 116 "This beautiful work is in the same format at Stuart's 'Antiquities of Athens'"; Graesse II 207. See also: Benezit III 1167. Bindings with negligible imperfections essentially as new. Light stain to top corner of title in volume I contents with light scattered and mostly marginal foxing fore edge margins occasionally lightly toned or with light thumb smudges but on the whole an excellent copy the foxing never severe the plates overall very clean the margins notably wide and in handsome newer bindings. Coinciding with a renewed fascination in the West regarding the ancient world this vast profusely illustrated set details the architectural delights of Pompeii "as the eye of the traveller will now behold them in 1827" inviting viewers to experience the fabled city at a time when it was still half buried and its mysteries only partially unearthed. Based on drawings by watercolorist James P. Cockburn 1779-1847 a well-known artist specializing in travel books the plates show a variety of civic and residential architecture that had previously been excavated including the great Amphitheatre the Temple of Isis and the Grand Forum. Travellers in 19th century dress can often be seen mingling in the foreground of these scenic views highlighting Pompeii's relatively new status as a tourist spot while the smoldering Mount Vesuvius occasionally looms in the distance--a sobering reminder of Pompeii's calamitous past and the volcano's ever-present danger. The plates also depict important cultural and artistic artifacts as well as charming details that offer a glimpse into daily life before the city's annihilation such as stone inscriptions the contents of private homes and even the arrangement of stepping stones on one of the streets. Of particular note are the five lovely hand-colored illustrations that bring to life Pompeii's famous mosaic work painted murals and bath house interiors as well as plans showing the progress of excavations in Pompeii which had begun in earnest during the mid-18th century. The text here was provided by the highly regarded architect Thomas Leverton Donaldson 1795-1885 who is best known as the founder of the Institute of British Architects. DNB calls him "a pioneer in the academic study of architecture" and notes that "in 1879 the prince of Wales had called him 'the father of the institute and of the profession.'" This work is not common: RBH lists just four copies at auction in this century. W. B. Cooke unknown books
