1747Best.-Nr. 16913Paris: chez Gersaint et chez Surugue 1747. Engraving printed on laid paper. Very good condition with the exception of some repair in the bottom right hand corner of sheet. Image size: 13 7/8 x 19 inches. A charming arabesque depicting a group of children playfully engaged in an argument from Moyreau's "Oeuvres Des Estampes Gravées d'après Les Tableaux & Desseins de feu Antoine Watteau." Born in Valenciennes in 1684 the versatile artist Jean-Antoine Watteau was primarily renowned for his fête galante paintings depicting aristocratic men and women amorously conversing in the outdoors. Following a brief apprenticeship to the local painter Jacques-Albert Gérin Watteau moved to Paris in 1702 where he later studied with Claude Gillot scene painter for the comédie italienne who introduced him to the commedia dell'arte which later became a recurrent theme in his work. In 1708 he began to work with the decorator Claude Audran under whose tutelage he produced several innovative ornamental decorations that were for porcelain furniture and textiles. Watteau was also a prolific draughtsman and his varied and substantial oeuvre includes military genre religious mythological and theatrical scenes as well as tapestry cartoons. After Watteau's death in 1721 his friend Jean de Jullienne commissioned a comprehensive body of engravings after the artist's drawings and paintings which further solidified his reputation as one of the most influential and prominent artists of the Rococo period. Cf. Benezit Dictionnaire des Peintres Sculpteurs Dessinateurs et Graveurs vol 14 p. 473-6; cf.

1750Best.-Nr. 2420Augsburg: Johann Jacob Haid & son 1750. Six tall narrow folio-sized engravings with etching platemarks 400 x 207 mm. sheets 435 x 277 mm. deckle edges numbered 1-6 in the plate at lower right imprint at lower right I. Haid et filius excudit A. V. Augustae Vindelicorum. Upper edges archivally tipped to mats. Fine. Rare suite of six rococo engravings reproducing Watteau's designs for a folding screen. This apparently unrecorded issue bearing the imprint of the Augsburg print-publisher Johan Jakob Haid and his son Johann Elias Haid is a re-issue of the plates which first appeared in 1729 with the signature of Jacob Wangner and the imprint of the heirs of Jeremias Wolff. OCLC locates a single copy of the Wolff issue at the Bibliothèque nationale de France photographs of the engravings are reproduced in the BnF online catalogue which misspells the artist's name as "Wagner". Wangner's engravings were based on the almost equally rare suite of six plates after Watteau commissioned by Jean Julienne and engraved by Crépy fils Louis Crépy in 1728. For the present issue the engraver's signatures barely visible in the BnF images were removed. The title appears at the foot of the first plate. Each engraving presents a central figure or scene set within a frame of delicate rococo allegorical and ornamental design. Three show the Comédie italienne figures of Pierrot/Gilles Harlequin and Columbina a woman playing the lute on a rug-bedecked stage a pair of allegorical figures flanking an awning above and at bottom the smiling visage of a Commedia dell'Arte character of the opposite sex. The remaining pastoral scenes of courtship or douceur de vie are set within naturalistic elements two with streams flowing over a dripping shell-shaped basin or ledge under which a ghostly face can be dimly discerned. Two painted screens based on these designs were sold at Sotheby's London on Feb. 12 2008 and again on 28 Oct. 2010 with the addition of a third painting from the series. I locate no other copies of the issue with the Haid imprint. On the Wolff issue cf. W. Augustyn "Augsburger Buchillustration im 18. Jahrhundert" in Augsburger Buchdruck und Verlagswesen 1997 p. 820 citing E. Isphording Gottfried Bernhard Göz 1708-1774 1997 pp. 35 ff. On the Crépy engravings cf.

Plain wraps with paper label pasted on front wrap announcing "Probable publication date November 1958 / Probable price 35/-". 542 pp. Vertical crease to front wrap else Near Fine. A scarce survival pun intended of a fragile pre-publication version of the first work of cryptozoology as a discipline or pseudo-discipline as most scientists would have it establishing the Belgian-French author as the "Father of Cryptozoology." It begins with recently rediscovered animals that were previously thought to have gone extinct such as the coelacanth and giant panda then ventures into evidence for animals as yet unverified or considered fictional by biologists such as the Yeti the Loch Ness Monster African dinosaur Mokele-mbembe and more.
