1630ref. ABC_49153Flanders and Paris: various publishers 1630. Several prints are tipped into a 19th-century elaborately gold- and blind-tooled brown morocco album a blind-tooled ornament in the centre of both boards with the crowned initials J.B. on the front surrounded by a double fillet frame with elaborate corner pieces gold-tooled board edges and turn-ins gilt edges white watered silk endpapers. The work is housed in a 19th-century marbled slipcase with a paper label with the name of Countess Julie Visart de Bocarmé mounted on the front. The remaining prints have been tipped onto a sheet of sturdy paper inserted into a clear plastic file folder which are loosely inserted into a 19th-century elaborately gold- and blind-tooled purple morocco album with the word "album" lettered in gold on the front surrounded by a blind-tooled Gothic style border and an elaborate gold-tooled border gilt edges black watered silk end papers. Oblong folio ca. 29 x 42.5 cm; sheet size ca. 12 x 9 to 35 x 23 cm. With 24 contemporary hand-coloured engravings of which some heightened with gold 1 contemporary hand-coloured woodcut illustration 1 chromolithographed print 7 watercolour drawings including 2 on vellum 3 silk embroidered prints in various sizes and 1 image made of paper ornaments glued onto black netting. Further with a folded alphabetical list of the Antwerp printers and engravers of devotional prints in a 19th-century hand tipped onto the first leaf of the album. 2 volumes. Remarkable collection of 37 devotional prints and drawings including fifteen printed on vellum and two "clad" prints. The majority of the prints and drawings were made in the 17th and 18th centuries but a small number of 19th-century examples are also included. The prints all depicting Catholic saints and scenes are decorated using a wide variety of techniques. Most are hand coloured and heightened with gold but several are clad in fabric embroidered cut out to resemble lace sometimes backed with coloured paper or metal foil to highlight the cut-outs and one was made by gluing paper ornaments onto black netting. The present collection which was owned and probably compiled by the Belgian Countess Julie Alexandrine Marie Josèphe Visart de Bocarmé 1823-1862 not only offers a fascinating sample of popular print culture in Flanders but also highlights the creativity of both the makers and users of these prints.Devotional prints served as visual aids to private devotion and could also be used by those unable to read. They were often bought and decorated by women. The present prints were mainly engraved by 17th- and 18th-century Flemish printmakers such as Cornelius de Boudt 1660-1738 Michiel Cabbaey 1660-1722 Guillaume Collaert ca. 1595-ca. 1651 Lodewijk Joseph Fruytiers 1713-1782 Jacob de Man ca. 1643-1719 and Theodoor van Merlen III 1661-1749. In contrast to most examples of this genre most of the present engravings are printed on vellum and beautifully coloured by a contemporary hand partly heightened in gold for the halos of the saints. The prints include biblical scenes showing Christ on the Cross Joseph Mary the Apostles and John the Baptist. The majority of the prints depict portraits of Catholic saints such as Anthony of Padua 1195-1231 Apollonia of Alexandria d. 249 Dorothea of Caesarea d. ca. 311 Francis of Assisi ca. 1181-1226 Francis Xavier 1506-1552 Helena of Constantinople ca. 246-330 Peter of Alcántara 1499-1562 and Rosalia of Palermo 1130-1166.

The boards are slightly rubbed and scratched. The first few leaves of the purple album have been removed to make space for the collection.

1800ref. ABC_49334Antwerp 1800. 16mo ca. 13 x 9.5 cm. Johannes Carolus Craen or his son-in-law Hendrik Leys Early 19th-century gold-tooled red sheepskin with a general title in Dutch lettered in gold on the spine gold-tooled board edges marbled endpapers gilt edges. 351 devotional engravings including 8 repeats printed on wove paper engraved by several 17th-century engravers printed from the original copper plates at the end of the 18th- or beginning of the 19th century. 351 ll. Intriguing and extensive collection of 351 devotional prints comprising ca. 16 print series and several separate engraved title pages of print series and some separate devotional prints. Each print shows a small engraving depicting a religious theme for almost every occasion and especially for the important days of the liturgical year. These prints were engraved and published in Antwerp which is considered to be the centre of production and publishing of devotional prints in the 17th- and 18th centuries. The majority of these praying cards were originally published by Franciscus Huberti or Frans Huybrechts 1630-1687 who seems to have been the first engraver and publisher to produce these types of works in Antwerp. He was mostly known for publishing so-called "gerijmde gebedsprentjes" rhymed devotional prints/prayer cards. After his death his plates were sold and used by others to republish the prints for example by Michiel Bunel 1670-1739 and later by Carolus Craen 1733-1799. Craen's plates were next used by Hendrik Leys d. 1853 not to be confused with the Antwerp painter Henri Leys. In 1805 Leys had married Craen's daughter and took over the publishing and printing business of his mother-in-law immediately after. He mostly continued publishing prints using older copperplates that were already part of the business since his father-in-law ran it and was one of the last printer-publishers to use copperplates in a time when lithography became more and more popular. At the end of his life Leys owned approximately 12000 usable copperplates made or sold by a whole host of 17th- and 18th-century engravers and/or publishers of devotional prints such as the Wierix-Barbé family Huberti Galle Van der Sande Bunel and the Van Merlen family. Cornelis van Merlen 1654-1723 was a publisher and engraver active in Antwerp. The Van Merlen family were important engravers and publishers of devotional engravings in Antwerp during the 17th- and 18th centuries. In 1687 he married Sara Maria Huybrechts who was the daughter of publisher and engraver Gaspar Huberti and Sara Voet and niece of the Antwerp engraver Franciscus Huberti 1630-1687 whose engravings make up the majority of the present work. The majority of the present work is most likely made up of Craen's or Leys' prints of the plates by Huberti Jacobus de Man Anton Wierix the Van Merlen family of engravers and others.A complete list of contents is available upon request.With a manuscript owner's inscription on the verso of the first flyleaf "Mimi Josephine Cogels 1822" a manuscript inscription on the recto of the second flyleaf "le 1er Avril 1822 1831" and some faint pencil annotations on the verso of the second to last flyleaf and the recto of the final flyleaf. The binding shows some slight rubbing the front joint is slightly weakened without any loss lacking the fore edge margin of the engraving of S.
