180813510London: Published by I. & W. Macgavin No. 107 New Bond Street 1808. Coloured aquatint. Printed on wove Whatman paper. In excellent condition. Image size: 13 5/8 x 20 1/4 inches. A dramatic view of fishermen at Worthing from Philippe Loutherbourg's great work "Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain".<br/> <br/> This impressive aquatint is plate six of Phillip Jacques Loutherbourg's seminal work "Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain." This accomplished text is comprised of six large aquatint views engraved after Loutherbourg's acclaimed paintings. The work which was first engraved in 1801 by J. C. Stadler was later re-engraved in 1808 by J. Hill. Reminiscent of Rowlandson's superb paintings this image depicts fisherman rowing out from the seashore on a stormy day. The son of a court painter in Darmstadt the versatile artist Philippe Jacques Loutherbourg was born in Fulda Germany and was a pupil of J. H. Tischbein and Carle Vanloo and Francis Casanova the elder in Paris. His romantic landscapes battle scenes portraits and biblical subjects were highly esteemed and lauded by influential colleagues such as Diderot. He frequently exhibited at the Salon and became a venerated member of the Académie Royale in 1767. In 1771 he moved to England where he was employed as the principal scenery designer at London's Drury Lane Theatre. His creative and minutely detailed sets revolutionized the genre of scene painting and he soon began dabbling in costume design. Loutherbourg once again astounded contemporaries in 1782 with his pioneering invention of the "Eidophusikon" a novel variety of moving panorama that was accompanied by music. His substantial and varied oeuvre also included book illustrations and a series of aquatints of British scenery that was published in 1801 and 1805. Aside from a brief trip to Switzerland in 1782 he remained in London for the duration of his life and became heavily engrossed in mysticism.<br/> <br/> Abbey Scenery of Great Britain and Ireland in Aquatint and Lithography 1770-1860 no.6 plate 6.

Two partial splits near center of text block numerous unopened signatures. Light foxing to a few leaves interior otherwise fresh. $100. This was one of several publications inspired by the controversy surrounding the claims of Montpensier's children to the Spanish throne. Some argued that the Treaty of Utrecht which ended the War of the Spanish Succession annulled this claim. For them the treaty clearly stated that the crowns of France and Spain remain separate. The anonymous author of the present book does not agree. He supports his claim with an ingenious argument. The final section entitled "Postscript to the Montpensier Marriage" was also published separately. Not in the British Museum Catalogue. unknown

189146342Paris: Imprimerie Nationale 1891. First edition. Hardcover. f to vg. Quarto 10 x 6 1/2". xviii 389 1pp. Contemporary half burgundy morocco over marbled paper covered boards with gold lettering to spine. Raised bands. Original printed wrappers bound in. Fly leaf inscribed and signed by the author to Charles Lévêque dated December 24 1891. Frontispiece.<br /> <br /> First inscribed and signed edition of Philippe Berger's remarkable history of writing in Antiquity. "Writing is the physical manifestation of a spoken language. It is thought that human beings developed language c. 35000 BCE as evidenced by cave paintings from the period of the Cro-Magnon Man c. 50000-30000 BCE which appear to express concepts concerning daily life. These images suggest a language because in some instances they seem to tell a story say of a hunting expedition in which specific events occurred rather than being simply pictures of animals and people. Written language however does not emerge until its invention in Sumer southern Mesopotamia c. 3500 -3000 BCE. This early writing was called cuneiform and consisted of making specific marks in wet clay with a reed implement. <br /> <br /> The writing system of the Egyptians was already in use before the rise of the Early Dynastic Period c. 3150 BCE and is thought to have developed from Mesopotamian cuneiform though this theory is disputed and came to be known as hieroglyphics. The phoenetic writing systems of the Greeks "phoenetic" from the Greek phonein - "to speak clearly" and later the Romans came from Phoenicia. The Phoenician writing system though quite different from that of Mesopotamia still owes its development to the Sumerians and their advances in the written word. Independently of the Near East or Europe writing was developed in Mesoamerica by the Maya c. 250 CE with some evidence suggesting a date as early as 500 BCE and also independently by the Chinese." For more information see: "The Origins of Writing" by Ira Spar.<br /> <br /> This work is illustrated throughout with numerous b/w in-text illustrations as well as 9 full and double-page plates including photogravures and one chromolithograph.<br /> <br /> Corners and joints of binding rubbed with closed tear to upper front joint.
