A sort of lost genetic remnant of several aristocratic British bloodlines but frequently financially wobbly and unable to get a steady footing Herbert seems to have alienated most people in his circle at one time or another and eventually shot himself in a full length mirror after having thrown a party to which many were invited but none attended. <br /> Although his output included a slew of adventure novels and various other literary exploits he is chiefly remembered for his wistful keenly observed and evocative accounts of woodland sporting activities. Scarce and collectable. G.B. Zieber & Co unknown

China misure: mm 209 x 291 Pittore, disegnatore e incisore italiano. Inizia ad avvicinarsi alla pittura grazie al fratello Pietro, pittore ritrattista, segue poi i corsi dell'Accademia di San Luca. Paesaggista apprezzato, soprattutto da inglesi e polacchi, trasforma il genere attribuendogli un valore storico e documentario. Con l'archeologo sir Richard Colt Hoare, nel 1789, percorre il cammino sulla Via Appia verso Brindisi seguendo la descrizione fatta da Orazio nella satira V. Durante questo viaggio realizza diversi schizzi dal vivo, disegni a penna acquerellati a seppia, commissionatagli dallo stesso Hoare, alcuni di questi disegni sono stati raccolti in album e tradotti in incisioni. Presso il British Museum, la Biblioteca Vaticana e la Biblioteca Sarti dell'Accademia di S. Luca a Roma conservano disegni di Labruzzi. In questo foglio, tramite un segno nitido e guizzante, l'autore compone un scenetta tipica della pittura capricciosa veneta. In primo piano ai piedi di un grande albero due donne, una in piedi e l'altra seduta, osservano un uomo che sta pescando. Una linea di contorno netta definisce le sagome mentre un tratto più nervoso da plasticità e cromatismo ai soggetti. In secondo piano sulla sinistra altri due uomini si cimentano nella pesca, a destra un fitto boschetto solo accennato è funzionale allo scandire della profondità dei piani. In basso firma a penna: Carlo Labruzzi Per Lord Vicam nel suo quadro/ 1787 (?). Si tratta forse di un disegno che l'autore offre al proprietario del quadro copiandone un dettaglio. Lord Vicam potrebbe essere William Wickham (1761-1840), discusso politico e spia inglese. Ottimo stato di conservazione, eccetto alcune pieghe nel foglio.

Oyster Dredges: English Oyster Dredge / Irish Oyster Dredge / Large Size Oyster Dredge Brabazon writes in his Introduction: 'I am induced to write this account of the present state of the Irish Fisheries and offer the following suggestions for their improvement which may be carried into effect by a Fishing Company conferring the greatest benefits on the country and profit to themselves. The Fisheries are the greatest and at present almost the only resource of the West of Ireland. From the loss of the potatoes as a certain means of subsistence the fiishermen would give their undivided time to the Fisheries instead of losing the best seasons by wasting their labour on a high-rented potato garden. They would thus throw an immense quantity of cured food such as Hake Cod Ling Herring Haddock and Coal Fish into the interior of the country while they could dispose of such fish as could not be cured such as Turbot Plaice Mackerel Gurnard John Dorey Ray and Soles at the markets along the coast. The cured fish even with the present limited supply brought to the markets of Westport and Newport County Mayo is sold as low as a penny per lb. free from bone green salted that is not dried and sometimes not so high as a halfpenny per lb. fresh.The company should establish stations along the coast: say they began with three one at Killibegs one at Newport Pratt and one at the Shannon Mouth.From the Store at Ballyshannon I would send fresh fish packed in Ice and also cured fish by water carriage through the Enniskillen Lakes and by the Ulster Canal on to Belfast supplying all the intermediate twons and interior of the country. Chapters in the book include for example: Herring Nets - Buoys - Mode of Curing / Curing the Herring / The Rhodry-More / The Cod Fisheries / Lobster Crab and Cray Fish / Packing Herring etc. etc. hardcover

1715WRCAM39842London 1715. Small folio broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Dbd. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Mild foxing. Very good. A rare petition to Parliament relating to a current bill concerning the mesh size of fishing nets used along the coast of Great Britain. The fishing lobby here argues that the clause limiting mesh size to four inches except for use with "Herrings Pilchards Sprats and Sardenas" will prevent the catching of various larger fish and lobster and thereby ruin much of the national fishing industry. They claim that the fishmongers who support the regulation would prefer "to bring in Foreign Fish caught in Foreign Bottoms" and profit from the higher prices. A leaflet published the same year entitled AN ANSWER TO THE CASE OF THE COASTING FISHERMEN indicates the present document was written by the lobsterman lobby. An early example of commercial lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715.
