1801rif. ABC_50546London 1801. Ca. 27.4 x 40 cm. William Holland Tipped into a passe-partout ca. 32.5 x 50 cm. Rare handcoloured satirical etching relating to the Napoleonic wars celebrating the success of Horatio Nelson 1758-1805 against the Second League of Armed Neutrality or League of the North. This alliance of several Northern European countries was founded by Emperor Paul I of Russia 1754-1801 to oppose Britain. In particular it was intended to prevent the Royal Navy from inspecting neutral trade for French contraband. Britain fearing a blockade of its Baltic trade and a potential alliance between the northern powers and Napoleonic France sent a fleet to break the pact with Nelson as second-in-command. This eventually culminated in the British victory at the Battle of Copenhagen 1801 a decisive blow against the League.The present print depicts a British physician administering "Nelsons pills" to Emperor Paul I causing him to violently expel ships an allusion to the dissolution of the League and its naval power. As the treatment proves effective the physician rejects a straitjacket offered by two attendants labelled "Williss composers" a reference to Francis Willis 1718-1807 physician to George III. The device symbolises the restraint of madness but is shown to be unnecessary in light of Nelsons successful intervention. As with many British caricatures of the period the present print combines political commentary with sharp satire offering both a reflection of contemporary attitudes and a propagandistic celebration of British naval supremacy.With the manuscript number "4" in ink in the upper right hand corner. The work is somewhat browned and foxed. Otherwise in good condition. unknown

1630rif. 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.

1550rif. ABC_49514Italy 1550. 17th-century gold-tooled brown calf sewn on 6 supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine a red morocco title label on the spine with the title "Novissima urbis Romae descriptio" lettered in gold gold-tooled board edges. Large oblong folio ca. 59 x 42.3 cm. With 76 full-page engravings and 12 full-page etchings. Remarkable album with 77 beautiful examples of 16th-century Italian cartography all in very fine dark impressions. The collection includes plans of important Italian towns such as Rome Venice Genoa Naples Milan Florence Palermo Siena Bologna and Pisa as well as detailed views of individual buildings and monuments in Rome. They are engraved by several cartographers from the school of Antonio Lafreri 1512-1577 primarily Claudio Duchetti d. 1585 Matteo Florimi d. 1613 and Lafreri himself. Florimi's works are among the rarest of the Lafreri school map makers especially his Siena imprints of which several have here been included.In the middle of the 16th century Italy was the centre of map production and distribution in Europe. This industry primarily took place in Venice and Rome. The most notable of the publishers in Rome was Lafreri. His most important and most popular work is the Speculum Romanae magnificentiae a collection of plans an views of Rome's monuments; no two copies of the Speculum are the same. The present collection contains more than thirty plates from the Speculum. When Lafreri died his nephew Claudio Duchetti inherited the company. He continued to produce the Speculum plates but often made small adjustments and signed his own name at the bottom. Most of the Speculum plates in the present album are by Duchetti. After his death the copperplates were sold to other publishers such as Giovanni Orlandi before 1590-after 1640 who reissued them. The majority of the plates in the present album were printed by Orlandi in 1602.The album further contains 32 engraved city plans mostly of Italian towns although a few foreign cities are also included; one of the rarest is the view of Moscow which is also included here. The collection ends with a incomplete series of 11 etchings of landscapes and biblical scenes.A list of contents is available upon request.With the bookplate of Louis Routy de Charodon seigneur de Grésigny and Charodon 1710-1794 on the front pastedown and remnants of another bookplate above.
