235:174 mm (size of plate), mounted on cardboard (330:250 mm).
Each puzzle measures 195 x 245 mm. Each puzzle with an engraved plate mounted on thin wood, coloured by a contemporary hand and cut to form a jigsaw puzzle, with engraved caption and short description below the image. Stored in the original cardboard box with an etched and engraved sample plate for a fourth puzzle (with caption "Équité de l'empereur") on the top, coloured by a contemporary hand, and an embossed gilt-paper border. Each puzzle with the original pink paper wrap-around slip preserved. A fine and colourful set of jigsaw puzzles depicting scenes from the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Two of the puzzles and the sample plate have the address "Ulysse Paris" engraved in the image. Each puzzle has 20 pieces: the first depicts Napoleon calmly sleeping in a chair after having given orders to his generals on the eve of the battle of Austerlitz (1 Dec. 1805); the second shows Napoleon addressing an exhausted soldier - a scene from the battle of Lodi on 10 May 1796, fought between Napoleon's forces and the Austrian rear guard commanded by Johann Beaulieu. The third puzzle shows Napoleon as merciful emperor, receiving the thankful wife and children of a Prussian lord accused of conspiracy, whom he pardoned. The puzzle matching the scene depicted on the top of the box is not included. A few pieces cracked at thin spots; box slightly defective with traces of handling and browned. A good set.
148 SS., 200 Abbildungen. Illustrierte Originalbroschur. 8vo. Beschreibt den umfangreichen Teilnachlaß, größtenteils aus der Zeit vor 1930 stammend, der das bisher bekannte Werk des großen Wiener Jugendstilkünstlers, der zu den bedeutendsten Mitarbeitern der Wiener Werkstätte, "innerhalb welcher er an nahezu allen wesentlichen Projekten beteiligt war" (Cabuk, s. u., 93), zu zählen ist, um mehr als die Hälfte erweitert. Entwürfe für Löfflers berühmte Buchillustrationen für den Wiener Verlag (1903-06) sind ebenso vertreten wie Plakatenwürfe aus den zwanziger Jahren und Skizzen für sein Erstlingswerk bei der Wiener Werkstätte, eine Kassette für eine Ehrenurkunde (abgebildet in Dekorative Kunst 19 (1911), S. 28). Auch ein Entwurf für den 1912 von Josef Hoffmann und Bertold Löffler im Auftrag der Wiener Werkstätte geschaffenen Salzburger Volkskeller, für den die beiden ebenso verantwortlich zeichneten wie für die geniale Konzeption des berühmten 'Caberet Fledermaus', findet sich im hier dokumentierten Bestand. Mit einem Aufsatz zu Leben und Werk. [ISBN 3-9500813-7-2]
Bildformat: 265 mm im Rund. Blattgröße: 390:330 mm. Gerahmt in schwarz gelackter Biedermeierleiste. Das Brustbild in Rund von Lips gilt als eines der schönsten graphischen Bildnisse Goethes.

Engraved map in 36 segments on canvas, folded. Fine original hand-colour. Ca. 1450 x 1230 mm. Earliest edition of this wall map, the most accurate map of Asia published at the beginning of the 19th century. It shows significant advancement compared with other maps of the period, incorporating the work of surveyors like James Rennell, to whom the map was dedicated. Rennell was surveyor-general of the East India Company's dominions in Bengal, and the information published in his "Bengal Atlas" in 1779 appears here. Arrowsmith also included remarkable topographical detail such as mountain ranges in regions as remote as Tibet. Remarkably, the region on the shore of the Arabian Gulf is already labelled as "Bani Yas" territory. Arrowsmith has marked the track of Lapérouse's voyage in the Indian Ocean and Far East. - Aaron Arrowsmith (1750-1823) was the finest cartographer of his generation. Although he received little formal education, it is believed that he was provided with some mathematical instruction by William Emerson, an author of several books on the application of mathematics to the area of cartography. Around 1770, Arrowsmith moved to London to seek employment. It is believed that he worked for William Faden before joining John Cary Sr. in the early 1780s. There he provided the measurements for John Cary's early publication detailing the roads from London to Falmouth, his first signed work. Arrowsmith set up on his own in 1790 and over the next thirty years produced some of the most beautiful and elegant maps of the era. "This highly detailed wall map of Asia is probably one of the most accurate maps of the continent before the completion of the Ordnance Survey maps of 1820" (Sweet). - Slightly soiled and browned, but well preserved. Not in Al Ankary or Al-Qasimi. Cf. Sweet 238 (1811 edition only).
Oil on canvas, 860 x 405 mm. Signed. After having studied at the Academy of Arts in his native Berlin, Richard Fuchs specialized on oriental scenes. He remained based in Germany, but spent most of the year in Italy and northern Africa (cf. Thieme/Becker), reflected in the splendid colours of many of his works.

Each 211 x 168 mm. In identical gilt wooden frames. A pair of atmospheric oriental genre scenes by an unidentified, but obviously professionally trained artist, masterfully capturing the light and mood: a mosque's courtyard with visitors and beggars, and a small bazaar with merchants, pedestrians, and a belly dancer within the picturesque environment of humble dwellings.
161 x 218 mm. A street merchant with a lady client and a child, showing the Hagia Sophia in the background. Pinel de Grandchamp, a student of Dubois and Picot, is counted among the foremost oriental painters of the 19th century. - Mounted on backing cardboard (old edge flaws). Thieme/Becker XXVII, 56.

Pinel de Grandchamp, a student of Dubois and Picot, is counted among the foremost oriental painters of the 19th century. - A slight crease, with insignificant edge tear, at lower edge; slight duststaining. Thieme/Becker XXVII, 56. Bénézit VIII, 344.
Oblong folio (ca 370 x 240 mm). With 11 (of 24) numbered leaves containing 52 hand-coloured lithographic pen-drawings of people, animals, equipment & gear and goods, from a caravan travelling to Mecca, each drawing including a base for cutting out, mounting on card stock or wood, and arranging them upright in three-dimensional scenes. Lacking 12-24 (of 24). Loose leaves. The first eleven leaves of a very rare lithographic print series issued in parts. Most copies were probably cut up by children and destroyed in play. The human figures to be cut out include Turkish, Arabic, African and Middle Eastern men and women in Islamic costume, including both masters and servants, some of the men with a variety of firearms, spears, daggers, and various gear and goods. There are also camels, horses and donkeys, often with their gear for riding or for carrying loads. The series must have provided many children and adults with their first notion of Muslim society and culture and is rich in authentic details. "Kleine Welt des Bilderbogens" dates the series to ca. 1855, just after Sir Richard Burton's famous visit to Mecca disguised as an Afghan in 1853 (he was one of the few Europeans who had ever visited Mecca and lived to tell of it). The complete series of 24 leaves comprised four groups of leaves, each leaf with the title, relevant subtitle and imprint (without date) at the foot: 1-6: Die Ueberbringung des heiligen Teppich; 7-13: Die Reise durch die Wüste (not present here: 14-16: Das Lager in der Wüste; 17-24: Die Gefahren der Wüste). The artist is not named. The drawings are printed on unwatermarked wove paper. The paper is fairly thin and the drawn bases have no folding tabs, as the publisher intended the cut-outs to be pasted onto card stock with a folding tab at the foot of the base or wood so that they could stand without support. - Occasional pencil marks. Some edge flaws and duststains, waterstains and browning. Includes two uncoloured sheets (numbered 10 and 23) on somewhat later, stronger paper. Kleine Welt des Bilderbogens: der Wiener Verlag Trentsensky (1977), 111. Katharina Siefert, ed., Paläste, Panzer, Pop-up-Bücher: Papierwelten in 3D (2009), with a chapter, "Die Carawane nach Mecca", pp. 31-38. Not in KVK; WorldCat.
Gestochene Kupferplatte (117:174 mm). Hübsches Bildnis der Madonna in Andacht, mit über die Brust gelegten Händen, nach einem Gemälde von Carlo Maratti (1625-1713). Signiert vom Pariser Kupferstecher Louis Gomier, der 1713-30 in Rom tätig war und auch nach Pietro da Cortona, Ciro Ferri und An. Carracci stach. "Zu seinen Hauptblättern gehören eine Ansicht der Bernini-Fontände und des Obelisken auf der Piazza Navona [...] Auch war er Mitarbeiter an Mich. Mercati's Metallotheca [...] und stach einige Porträts nach eigener Zeichnung, darunter die der Königin Marie Eleonore Jos. von Polen und des Fürsten Lubomirski" (Thieme/B. 14, 364). Die Platte trägt noch den Verlegervermerk "typis Salmoni" (wohl ein Hinweis auf den römischen Drucker Giovanni Generoso Salmoni?).
4to. Ca 95 pencil drawings (including occasional pen-and-ink drawings and watercolours), as well as entries and drawings by other hands on a total of 187 ff. Contemporary cloth with illustrated vellum title label and spine label. The drawings - some of which are very finely executed, though most constitute mere perfunctory sketches - include numerous portraits. Many depict Leischner's wife Stefanie, née Friedrich, others show caricatures, interiors etc. The several signed full-page watercolours and pencil drawings by Otto Rudolf Schatz (1900-61) deserve special mention: these include a number of decidedly anti-fascist and anticlerical caricatures, but also a full-page pencil drawing and a full-page entry with two illustrations by Franz von Zülow (1883-1963). - Schatz's contributions have been researched and documented for a catalogue raisonné by Dr Cornelia Cabuk, Belvedere, Vienna. - Binding somewhat rubbed and warped. Edges of leaves slightly darkened; occasional slight spots. Cabuk, Schatz (2018), p. 104, illustrated.

4to. 244 (instead of 248) partly numbered engraved plates. Slightly later full calf with giltstamped red title label to sparsely gilt spine. Very rare edition of "one of the most splendidly illustrated devotional books of the period" (Jantz), containing only the engraved plates and neither the text nor the music. The "Geistreiche Gesänge und Lieder auf alle Sonntags-Evangelien und Episteln so in dem Christlichen Jahre enthalten seyn [...]" were first issued in 1725-26, which saw a reissue under the title "Das Christliche Jahr" in 1735. This title is stamped on the spine label of this copy, suggesting that the present copy is of this latter edition. The plates "represent scenes from biblical history and the lives of the saints [...] exhibit[ing] a high point of Baroque illustration" (Faber du Faur) and are mostly presented within ornamental frames decorated by emblematic vignettes. - Wants title-page. Later handwritten bibliographical note in ink to flyleaf. Hinges a little worn, small flaw at the top margin of the plate showing St. Theresa (not touching image), but otherwise very well preserved. From the library of the Viennese collector Werner Habel, with his ownership stamp to flyleaf. Faber du Faur 1146. Jantz 2379. Bäumker III, 56, 138. Wolffheim 2202. Seebass 301.
