1719réf. ABC_48483Amsterdam: David Mortier 1719. Contemporary quarter brown sheepskin sewn on 5 supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine the title lettered in gold on the spine sprinkled paper sides red sprinkled edges. Royal folio. With a title-page in red and black with an engraved device a portrait of Erasmus in an elaborate cartouche with allegorical figures and 124 engraved architectural and sculptural illustrations on 109 numbered plates 6 double-page 103 full-page. First French edition of Van Campen's famous description of the Amsterdam City Hall the present day Royal Palace with more than a hundred plates of the architectural features and sculptures of the building including ground plans elevations and sections of the interior and exterior. Particularly impressive are the giant plates of the tympana which are more than 160 cm wide when fully unfolded. The work also includes the famous plate of the extraordinary cartographic mosaic floor of the Burgerzaal which shows the zodiac signs that were originally painted on the celestial map in the middle but are now no longer visible on the floor itself due to fading.The City Hall is the most famous and last major work by Jacob van Campen 1595-1657 the greatest Dutch architect of the 17th century. He began work on the design in 1640 and though the building opened in 1655 it was not actually completed until 1665. It was called "the eighth wonder of the world" at the time and is still considered the most important Dutch monument from the 17th century. It was designed to show off Amsterdam's wealth and magnificence. This is especially visible in the Burgerzaal the heart of the building which depicts Amsterdam as the centre of the world. The impressive mosaic floor with a celestial map in the centre and the two maps of both hemispheres of the world on either side symbolises that the world was at Amsterdam's feet. These maps are the largest ever made. They show Abel Tasman's then recent discoveries in Australia and Tasmania. Many discoveries from his second voyage remained otherwise unpublished until the end of the 17th century.The present work is the French edition of Van Campen's Afbeelding van 't stadt huys van Amsterdam 1664. The plates were drawn by Hubert Quiellinus 1619-1687 and Danckert Danckertsz. 1634-1666 and his father after drawings by Jacob Vennekool 17th century and were first published in Quiellinus' Prima et secunda pars praecipuarum . curiae Amstelrodamenis 1655-1663 and Afbeelding van 't stadt huys van Amsterdam in dartigh coopere plaaten . geteeckent door Jacob Vennekool 1661. As such most of the present engravings were published before the building was completed and may therefore reflect Van Campen's plan more closely than the finished building itself. The edges and corners of the boards are scuffed the spine has been rubbed with loss material old restoration at the head and foot of the spine. The text leaves are lightly browned the plates are very clean.l BAL 132; Berlin Kat. 2235; STCN 182312917 5 copies of which 1 incomplete; cf.

1936réf. 0001914EUSKIRCHEN GERMANY. Good. 1936. On offer is a superb 1936 manuscript relic titled 'Fahrt: Lieder und Bilder' being one German soldier's patriotic paean to forgotten German wars and heroic songs. Handwritten by Jacob Winkel in Euskirchen Germany the soldier presents a very historical German perception of war and the songs of conquerors. This soldier had a passion for the very historical Lion of Brabant which has a history dating back to the 11th century. This may also be a clue to his background as in WWII the Brabant Lion was associated moreso with the Flemish Lion which is understandable as many Belgium produced many troops and even SS soldiers for Germany. They were incredibly anti-communist so most went to serve at the Russian Front. There are more contemporary and lost songs all in the context of the upcoming World War II. The notebook has 26 well filled pages and is illustrated by hand with historical notes which include the drawing of the sword and the harp with the words Platoff refers to Count Platoff general in chief; Hetman of the Don Cossacks refers to Matvei Platov who was the leader of the Don Cossacks and a feared commander of cavalry. Platov's tactics became famous in the 1812 French invasion of Russia when his men lived off the land and constantly harried the much stronger French forces. Using the harsh Russian winter to its best advantage Platov continually punished the beleaguered French infantry on its retreat from Moscow. There is a real photo postcard tucked in the notebook which we can assume was the author himself. A note on the back which we cannot translate may confirm.

1963réf. 82862New York: Terry Dintenfass 1963. First Edition. Original lithographed poster with text and illustrations printed in dark red and black on thick cream laid paper measuring 48cm x 66.25cm 18 7/8" x 26 1/8". Mild handling a few faint creases from being rolled with a half-dozen foxed spots; unbacked; Near Fine. A striking poster by Lawrence designed to promote his first solo exhibition at Terry Dintenfass Inc. in New York. The illustration was derived from Lawrence's 1963 tempera painting "Two Rebels" "showing four white policemen carrying two black men. The heads of some fifteen witnesses crowd in. In the poster that number was reduced to ten heads that float like moons of light above a protester and his police handlers with their billy clubs dangling from their wrists" Over the Line: The Art and Life of Jacob Lawrence pp.174-175. Paintings like "Two Rebels" "Soldiers and Students" and "Four Students" were almost certainly triggered by news photos and television images of the immediate events of 1960-62 in the South. The poster is not separately listed in OCLC though a signed and numbered lithograph of the image edition of 50 is held at the LC. 82862. Terry Dintenfass unknown
