1915Best.-Nr. 80765London: Martin Secker 1915. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition. Some modest spotting to the boards lettering rubbed but easily readable a near very good copy lacking the rare dust jacket. Along with Captain Blood and Scaramouche one of a trio of swashbuckling novels that helped to define the genre. This was the basis for one of the great silent adventure films directed in 1924 by Frank Lloyd and featuring Milton Sills as the Sea Hawk with Enid Bennett Lloyd Hughes Wallace MacDonald Marc McDermott and Wallace Beery. Also well-known is the 1940 Michael Curtiz swashbuckler with Errol Flynn which kept the Sabatini title but used an original story-line loosely based on the exploits of Sir Francis Drake and modified to draw obvious parallels to England on the verge of WWII.

1772Best.-Nr. 21936Rome 1772. Copper engraving by Ottaviani after drawings by Savorelli and Camporesi printed in light brown coloured ink with contemporary hand-colouring. Trimmed to platemark left margin. Good condition. A highly decorative print from the famous "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" series with contemporary colouring of the highest quality from the golden age of the hand-coloured print. A very fine image from the first part of a work titled "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" depicting the decorative work executed by Raphael and his assistants between 1518-1519 in the Vatican. This remarkable print one of the first to be published of the decoration of the Logge on the main storey of the Vatican apartments was probably planned as early as 1760 but was not executed until between 1772 and 1776. The project as a whole was carried out by the painter Gaetano Savorelli the draughtsman Ludovico Teseo the architect Pietro Camporesi and the engravers Giovanni Ottaviani and Giovanni Volpato. The plate is remarkable not only as the first important visual record of Raphael's work but also for the quality of the hand-colouring - the work on this image is in our opinion some of the greatest to be produced in Europe during the whole of the eighteenth century: the golden age of the hand-coloured print. The whole series was of importance not just for the size and magnificent colouring of the prints but also because of the influence they had on contemporary taste. The decision was made to "borrow" elements from Raphael's Vatican tapestries and insert them where the original frescoes were in too poor a state to be legible. The finished plates therefore represented an amalgam of design elements presented with a crisp freshness of colour that held enormous appeal and stimulated the taste for the "grotesque" in the neo-classical period.
