POMPEII ILLUSTRATED WITH PICTURESQUE VIEWS

1827ST17496-012London: W. B. Cooke 1827. FIRST EDITION. 566 x 385 mm. 22 3/8 x 15 1/8". Two volumes. Attractive modern brown half morocco over marbled boards raised bands with gilt design gilt lettering. With six engraved vignettes and 80 ENGRAVED PLATES AND PLANS five hand-colored one double-page some with more than one illustration on each plate original tissue guards. A Large Paper Copy. Brunet II 116 "This beautiful work is in the same format at Stuart's 'Antiquities of Athens'"; Graesse II 207. See also: Benezit III 1167. Bindings with negligible imperfections essentially as new. Light stain to top corner of title in volume I contents with light scattered and mostly marginal foxing fore edge margins occasionally lightly toned or with light thumb smudges but on the whole an excellent copy the foxing never severe the plates overall very clean the margins notably wide and in handsome newer bindings. Coinciding with a renewed fascination in the West regarding the ancient world this vast profusely illustrated set details the architectural delights of Pompeii "as the eye of the traveller will now behold them in 1827" inviting viewers to experience the fabled city at a time when it was still half buried and its mysteries only partially unearthed. Based on drawings by watercolorist James P. Cockburn 1779-1847 a well-known artist specializing in travel books the plates show a variety of civic and residential architecture that had previously been excavated including the great Amphitheatre the Temple of Isis and the Grand Forum. Travellers in 19th century dress can often be seen mingling in the foreground of these scenic views highlighting Pompeii's relatively new status as a tourist spot while the smoldering Mount Vesuvius occasionally looms in the distance--a sobering reminder of Pompeii's calamitous past and the volcano's ever-present danger. The plates also depict important cultural and artistic artifacts as well as charming details that offer a glimpse into daily life before the city's annihilation such as stone inscriptions the contents of private homes and even the arrangement of stepping stones on one of the streets. Of particular note are the five lovely hand-colored illustrations that bring to life Pompeii's famous mosaic work painted murals and bath house interiors as well as plans showing the progress of excavations in Pompeii which had begun in earnest during the mid-18th century. The text here was provided by the highly regarded architect Thomas Leverton Donaldson 1795-1885 who is best known as the founder of the Institute of British Architects. DNB calls him "a pioneer in the academic study of architecture" and notes that "in 1879 the prince of Wales had called him 'the father of the institute and of the profession.'" This work is not common: RBH lists just four copies at auction in this century. W. B. Cooke unknown

RUINS OF THE PALACE OF THE EMPEROR DIOCLETIAN AT SPALATRO IN DALMATIA

1764ST17496-042London: Printed for the Author 1764. FIRST EDITION. 520 x 365 mm. 20 3/4 x 14 1/4". iv 8 subscribers list 33 pp. Attractive modern light green half morocco gilt by J. F. Newman of Dublin his ticket on front pastedown raised bands spine panels with central patera ornament two darker green morocco labels reinforced hinges edges untrimmed. WITH 61 SPLENDID ENGRAVINGS 14 plans and elevations 47 views ON 54 PLATES eight double-page six folding by Bartolozzi and others. Front flyleaf with ink signature of Francis D. Bedford dated October 1886. Cicognara 3567; Fowler 2. Spine sunned to a light olive shade one corner bumped one plate with a little browning along the fold occasional mild marginal foxing or trivial smudges but A FINE COPY--fresh bright and clean internally with deep impressions of the type rich impressions of the plates and generous margins in a binding with few signs of wear. This is an extremely appealing copy of one of the great architectural books of the 18th century described by Cicognara as a "magnificent and grandiose work." Scottish architect Robert Adam 1728-92 was a product of the Scottish Enlightenment and moved in intellectual circles that included historian William Robertson who wrote the introduction here David Hume and Adam Smith. His interest in architectural drawing was stimulated by books in his father's extensive library which DNB tells us contained "a working collection of illustrated architectural books in English French and Italian and a series of manuals on architectural draughtsmanship." This curiosity developed into a passion during his 1755-57 tour of Italy which "was in every way a period of intense professional training during which the skills learned in Scotland were tested and given an international gloss by the Roman circle in which he now moved." DNB At the center of this circle was French architect antiquarian and artist Charles-Louis Clérisseau 1721-1820 the leading authority on Roman antiquities and architecture who introduced Adams to among others the great Piranesi. With Clérisseau as guide and tutor he explored and sketched various sites before arriving at the un-surveyed fortress palace built by the former emperor Diocletian at Spalatro the modern-day Croatian city of Split. Adam undertook a survey of the building and drew the architectural plans and elevations for this work while Clérisseau sketched views of the ruins. Adam planned this book as a way of promoting his career as an architect and worked with Clérisseau to have engravings made for it. According to Thom "while the traditional plans elevations and sections--what Robert Adam called the 'Geometricals'--were generally supplied by English engravers like Rooker Patton and Walker the all-important picturesque views and perspectives which Adam thought were essential to convey the emotional impact of the remains of Diocletian's Palace were engraved in Italy mostly by Bartolozzi Paolo Santini and Zucchi." Adams also wrote the architectural commentary. The publication was a success praised by the "Critical Review" in October 1864 as possessing "a taste and execution that has never been equalled in England." As DNB observes "during these two Roman years Adam succeeded in transforming himself from a provincial and rather green Scottish architect into a cosmopolitan figure ready indeed to put into effect 'the Antique the Noble & Stupendous.'" Now based in London he embarked on a distinguished career specializing in country houses and townhomes that reflected the deep influence classical architecture and his Italian sojourn had on his work. Our copy was once owned by another artist Francis Donkin Bedford 1864-1954 who exhibited landscapes at the Royal Academy and illustrated books during the Golden Age of children's book illustration in the late 19th and early 20th century.

VETERES ARCUS AUGUSTORUM TRIUMPHIS INSIGNES EX RELIQUIIS QUAE ROMAE ADHUC SUPERSUNT CUM IMAGINIBUS TRIUMPHALIBUS RESTITUTI

1690ST17496-016Rome: Buagni 1690. 492 x 310 mm. 19 1/4 x 12 1/4". 6 leaves of text numbered in sequence with the plates; i.e. title page frontispiece To the Reader plates 3-15 text leaves 16-19 plates 20-52. Modern quarter calf over marbled boards raised bands spine panels with gilt starburst centerpiece. With allegorical frontispiece featuring a portrait of the dedicatee Cardinal Otthobono and 46 FINELY ENGRAVED COPPERPLATES OF ROMAN ARCHES half of these double-page all mounted on stubs. Cicognara 3608; Brunet I 758 and VI 29473. Slight signs of use to the covers first and last three leaves faintly foxed one- to two-inch light dampstain to bottom corners far from images or text other trivial imperfections but A FINE COPY--internally clean fresh and bright with excellent impressions of the engravings and in a pleasing binding showing virtually no wear. This work depicting the triumphal arches of imperial Rome is considered by Cicognara to be "the most beautiful of this genre and classic especially for the magnificence and elegance of the prints which are the masterpiece of Pietro Bartoli." Bartoli 1635-1700 was an antiquary as well as an engraver; he produced engravings of many Roman antiquities and helped to excavate Nero's Domus Aurea the sprawling complex built by the emperor in the middle of Rome after the fire in 64 A.D. had destroyed much of the city. Bellori 1613-96 was an author and antiquarian who served as curator of antiquities for Pope Clement X. He was later librarian and antiquary to Queen Christina of Sweden who also employed Bartoli. Bartoli's illustrations show the Arch of Constantine the Arch of Titus and the Arch of Septimus Severus examining the details of each. J. M. Suarez wrote the text discussing the Arch of Septimus Severus. The vastness of the present volume the very considerable detail of the plates and the richness of the engravings make this a very impressive book. Buagni unknown

VUES DES PLUS BEAUX RESTES DES ANTIQUITÉS ROMAINES

1787ST17496-043Rome: Bouchard et Gravier 1787. 525 x 375 mm. 20 3/4 x 14 3/4". Near contemporary half calf over marbled boards smooth spine divided by gilt rules into panels with blind-stamped centerpiece red morocco label hinges reinforced with buckram marbled endpapers and edges. Engraved vignette on title page and 99 COPPER-ENGRAVINGS ON 60 PLATES. A 1911 letter from the editor of "Hobbies" magazine in response to a previous owner's questions about the contents of this volume laid in at front. The plate numbered 92 with an 18th century cemetery scene pasted to the verso; rear flyleaf with two engravings pasted on. Cicognara 3595; Brunet I 646. Spine label partly missing front joint cracked from tail edge to midpoint head and tail of spine chipped boards a bit chafed and with a drizzle of white paint to front cover but the binding still solid. Occasional mild marginal foxing or finger smudges but an excellent copy internally fresh and clean throughout and with pleasing impressions of engravings. Not an external beauty as is often the case with architectural tomes but quite attractive inside. This is a collection of beautifully engraved plates drawn from the work of a painter and engraver who made engravings for Piranesi's 1748 "Varie vedute di Roma antica e moderna" and collaborated with him on the majestic "Le antichità Romane" 1756. Inspired by his work with the master Barbault drew and engraved his own series of Roman views issued in "Les plus beau monumens de Rome ancienne" 1761 and "Recueil de divers monumens anciens" 1770. The plates in the present volume are drawn from those works. Barbault's picturesque scenes are characterized by a sense of romantic decay: in some the landscape is open and generally free from human intrusion the once-grand ruins rising proudly from the encroaching vegetation. One has the sense of being among the first to stumble across these hidden wonders. In others the artist juxtaposes temple remains with the shed of a contemporary farmer a humbling contrast between past grandeur and present poverty. Jean Barbault 1718-62 had studied painting in Paris with John Restout II before receiving a scholarship from the Académie des Beaux-Arts for travel to Rome in 1721. Once there he stayed building a career as engraver and establishing himself with Piranesi and his circle. Bouchard et Gravier unknown

VUES PITTORESQUES DES RUINES LES PLUS REMARQUABLES DE L'ANCIENNE VILLE DE POMPÉI

1824ST17496-014Zurich: by the author and Henry Fuessli and Comp 1824-25. FIRST EDITION. 445 x 325 mm. 17 1/2 x 12 3/4". 26 leaves of descriptive text. Lacking title page and dedication.Commentary by art historian Johann Jacob Horner. Modern tan half morocco over olive green buckram raised bands spine panels with gilt ornament red morocco label. 24 FINE AQUATINT VIEWS COLORED BY A CONTEMPORARY HAND. Brunet III 357. Text pages variably foxed from a little to very but somehow THE LOVELY PLATES IN FINE CLEAN CONDITION--fresh and bright with pleasing coloring in an unworn sympathetic binding. This is a rare complete colored set of Hüber's famed views of Pompeii much sought-after by armchair travellers after excavations uncovered that urban time capsule in the late 18th century. The German-born Hüber 1787-1871 settled in Naples in his early 20s studying landscape painting with Dutch émigré painter Jacob Philipp Hackert 1737-1807 who was known for his lush scenes often featuring ruins. His arrival in the region coincided with the occupation of Naples by the French who accelerated the excavations underway at Pomepii which had been buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The rapid burial of the city in volcanic ash had captured a moment in time and the opportunity to see a well-preserved example of life in the ancient Roman Empire caught in medias res drew eager travellers on the Grand Tour of the Continent. Hüber's well-executed views often picture these tourists and their contemporary dress contrasts sharply with the classical ruins. Lord Napier in his "Notes on Modern Painting at Naples" 1855 credits Hüber for introducing the use of watercolors to the meticulously drawn landscapes then being produced. This innovation is displayed in the hand-colored plates here which were also issued in uncolored state. Napier was correct to appreciate the value of adding colors which increases both the drama of the views and the pleasure of the viewer. Because the attractive sets with color were often broken up complete volumes of the colored plates are rarely seen for sale: we could trace just three such copies sold at auction as listed in RBH and ABPC the two best ones were the Feltrinelli copy which sold for $14330 in 2001 and the Donaueschingen copy fetching $13750 in 2014. Ours does not have the distinguished provenance attached to those copies and it lacks two preliminary leaves but the text is present and most important the lovely colored plates are in fine condition. by the author and Henry Fuessli and Comp unknown
