197924608New York: Rizzoli 1979. Softcover. VG- Small sticker inside front cover minor wear to edges. Tan illustrated wraps with black lettering 167 pp. Numerous bw and color illustrations. "The extravagant elegance of the fin-de-siecle left its most durable legacy in the field of the applied arts and the name of Emile Galle ranks with those of Mucha Lalique de Feure and Guimard among the men who combined an artistic vision of the highest order with the exacting and centuries old standards of European craftsmanship. Of the two centres of Art Nouveau in France Paris and Nancy it was Galle's devotion to the artistic heritage of the craft guilds which created the Nancy school. Philippe Garner's perceptive and sympathetic analysis the first full scale study to appear in English not only places Galle within context of Art Nouveau but also examines his involvement with the Symbolist poets the literary significance which this imparted to his work and the manner in which he captured in sculptural dorm the whole spiriti of turn of the century Europe. Galle's mastery of richly transluscenet colors and elegant tracery of curving lines is nowhere more obvious than in his glasswork the vases bowls and lighting fixtures in exquisite shades of lilac paink and orange which established Galle and his workshops as the foremost glass producers of the period. These same qualitites of linear grace and tonal subtley penetrated all of Galle's work from the deeply tinted furniture carved in exotic woof to his decorative and exhuberant pieces in faience. Emile Galle's position as one of the most provacative and multi-faceted talents in Europe at the turn of the century is here confirmed by the richness and variety of his oeuvre in all media the distillation of an artistic vision which impresses primarily by its nuances and its delicacy." - blurb from back of book.

BOUND WITH: Nimpharum oceanitidum ephydridum potamidum naiadum lynadumque icones in gratiam picturae studiosae ivventutis deliniatae scalptae et editae a Phillip. Gallaeo. Engraved title-page followed by 17 numbered engraved plates. Small 4to. 219 x 165 mm bound in contemporary Flemish vellum with title in manuscript on the spine. Preserved in a green half morocco folding box. Antwerp: Galle 1587. First Editions of both sets of prints designed and meticulously executed by Philipp Galle one of the foremost Flemish engravers of the day. These allegorical depictions of classical water deities and personifications of European waterways set male and then female figures among their appropriate geographical environment. The settings often include topographical or mythological iconography i.e. Nilus or the Nile shows a pyramid and obelisk in the background or Lerna with its Hydra in the distance however it is undoubtedly the figures themselves that are of most interest to the artist. They clearly show the influences of High Renaissance Italy with the musculature of the male figures evoking Michelangelo and the elongation of the female figures reminiscent of Parmigiano's Madonnas. Philippe Galle 1537-1612 ranks among his peers Johannes Stradanus 1523-1605 Martin de Vos 1532-1603 Adriaen Collaert 1560-1618 and Maarten van Heemskerck 1498-1574 as being known for introducing Italian art into the Northern Netherlands and influential on Dutch artists of the great period of pictorial art the Dutch Golden Age in the following century. Both sets of prints are rare. We locate a copy of both at the National Gallery a complete copy of just Semideorum marinorum at the Bibliotheque Nationale and a selection of odd plates at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and British Library. A very desirable copy bound in an un-restored contemporary vellum binding with nice impressions of the plates and wide margins. Some insignificant soiling or spotting. Brief early manuscript notes on the verso of seven plates. hardcover books

1790WRCAM45754Paris: Marie Francois Drouhin 1790. Handcolored oval mezzotint portrait 10 x 8 1/4 inches on a 12 1/2 x 9 1/4-inch sheet. Sheet lightly browned more so around the edges. Overall very good. Matted. An attractive mezzotint portrait of Benjamin Franklin with delicate contemporary coloring. The engraving was done after an original portrait by the famed French painter Charles Philippe Vanloo sometimes spelled Van Loo. The original portrait was done while Franklin resided in Paris in the years during and after the American Revolution and is now in the collection of the American Philosophical Society which was founded by Franklin. Sellers asserts that it is "beyond question a life portrait" done between 1777 and 1785. In Vanloo's original portrait Franklin wears a fur coat. In this print of the painting the fur coat has been replaced by a simpler cloth coat. Franklin wears glasses his hair is long and gray and he has a slight smile on his face. In the caption below the image his name is spelled "Francklin." "The substitution of a simple gray coat for the fur-trimmed costume of the original was undoubtedly in deference to revolutionary feeling" - Sellers. This print was engraved after Vanloo's portrait by the noted French engraver Pierre-Michel Alix who was known for his portraits of leading French citizens and prominent personalities. A handsome contemporary portrait of the American who dazzled France as a diplomat scientist philosopher and gentleman of society. SELLERS BENJAMIN FRANKLIN IN PORTRAITURE p.394.
