Ronde joyeuse des fagotiers

17864439France 1786. Hand-colored etched folding paper fan printed on the recto of two joined sheets backed in plain paper mounted on 15 later plain wooden sticks the open leaf measuring approx. 112 x 460 mm. total fan height 260 mm. The etching shows two couples and a small dog and table with wine carafe and glass flanking a female figure in white Grecian robes and a green wreath holding in one hand a heart at her breast and with the other hand ceremoniously setting alight a bundle of wood a fagot on a small pedestal or altar above which is the wreathed inscription Institution des fagotiers a auteuil le 2 avril 1786 / On prete serment sur un fagot de pratiquer toute sa vie cinq vertus : cordial franchise amitiÃ© gÃ©nÃ©rositÃ© obeisance sic et tendresse; at top a star with the initials T L A and a banner lettered Vertus des fagotiers surmounted by the caption Ronde joyeuse des fagotiers/ Air: câ€™est la petite TheresseÂ sic; on either side of this scene are four verses within two green-outlined oval cartouches within stenciled blue and yellow decorative border. Some wear and slight splitting along a few folds a couple of small tears at mounts. A mildly licentious pre-Revolutionary printed fan possibly commemorating a real event a â€œfestival of the wood-gatherersâ€ fagotiers held in Auteuil on April 2 1786 but of which there appears to be no historical record. Rather than a guild the fagotiers may have been a local association or club. The symbolism of the image and verses seems to be along the lines of Carpe diem carnally for death is around the corner â€” heavy sentiments for a feather-light fan. One of the men is gesturing toward his partnerâ€™s crotch and the verses on either side of the central scene are dotted with sexual innuendo. The first stanza â€œLet us sing of the burning fagot a bundle of small wood lit by friendship / he who backs away from it knows her i.e. friendship only half-way / without her life is nothing / with her one is deifiedâ€ could be understood as innocuous but the second stanza celebrates the joys of DÃ©duit an archaic term for the pleasures of love or coÃ¯tus. Stanza three brings in Death in the form of Charon: â€œamiable fellow let us sing his good humor his boat may lead to the devil but his spirit leads to happiness / with his worthy ardor the fire burns in our hearts.â€ The last stanza declares that the â€œaugust fagotine lawâ€ allows us to include women we need not hide everyone kiss your partner etc. I locate one other example of this fan held by the MusÃ©e Carnavelet in Paris. It is digitized on their website with the description â€œThe Genie of Friendship lights the pyre on which the couples will take the oath of friendship.â€ The stenciled border of our copy differs from that of the Carnavelet example which is in pink; here it is in two colors and includes two birds perched on branches. unknown

[COOK: DEATH] WEBBER, John, engraved by Francesco BARTOLOZZI and William BYRNEBiblio.com

The Death of Captain Cook In February 1779 by the murdering Dagger of a Barbarian at Carakakooa in one of the Sandwich Isles. He having there become a Victim to his own Humanity. The Distressing Scene is Part of the Original Plate after Webber by Messrs Bartolozzi & Byrne

17843603426London: Sold in Spur Street Leicester Square 1784. Small crease in lower corner in good condition. Oval engraving 350 x 265 mm. image size; mounted. Rare variant of the famous engraving of Cook's death showing as the caption notes "Part of the Original Plate after Webber" and presumably quite literally printed from an oval cut from the fuller engraved copper. This is only very rarely seen: the single example noted by Joppien and Smith was in the British Museum. The full-size engraving was first issued early in 1784. Based on the oil painting executed by Webber soon after he returned to London in 1780 the figures were engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi and the landscape by William Byrne. Quickly becoming the most famous of all eighteenth-century depictions of the massacre the view appeared at about the same time as the official third voyage account was published. This was no coincidence: although lavishly illustrated by Webber the official account did not include any depiction of the most famous scene of the entire voyage the death of Captain Cook. As a result the iconic engraving is often seen bound into extra-illustrated editions of the third voyage account. Reflecting the general opinion prevailing in published accounts of the voyage the original image as Joppien and Smith argue appeared to show Cook as 'an innocent victim killed in the act of pleading for peace'. This is here heightened by the changed composition as the oval shape dictates a radically different impact to that of the original engraving omitting the dramatic conflict between the British sailors and the Hawaiians and thus implying a scene in which Cook his arm raised in supplication to his men offstage stands alone and is overwhelmed by a seething crowd. The only copy noted among Australian holdings appears to be the heavily clipped copy in the National Library of Australia part of the Nan Kivell collection. .

ANONYMOUS DRAWING attributed to Francesco di Giovanni in graphite on verso. DANCE OF DEATHABAA

MEMENTO MORI

175031151750. DBI s.v. Albani; G. Cucco ed. Papa Albani e le arti a Urbino e a Roma 1700-1721 2001. Highly finished preparatory design for a fresco or tapestry connected to the Albani family whose coat of arms appears under the left-hand arch crowned with a cardinalâ€™s hat. Under the central arch of the drawing preceded by a palafreniero four servants in blue and white livery carry a red baldacchino that covers two figures processing on horseback. One is clearly a secular prince with his garland crown and red cape while the other figure is a cardinal wearing a black hat and a red robe. It is possible that the cardinal depicted is either Annibale 1682-1751 or Alessandro 1692-1779 Albani or their nephew Cardinal Giovan Francesco Albani II 1720-1803. Under the right arch of the fictive architecture two buildings appear. While three commedia dellâ€™arte figures who are commonly associated with the Venetian carnevale appear the carriage in the background contradicts the possibility that the setting for this event is Venice. Below these three arches a series of nine crests appear. The personification of death reclines with his scythe behind the coat of arms of the Corsini family blue and yellow diagonal stripes with a white band through the center. The crown which signified the rank of the family has been wrenched off. The Corsini were made dukes by Urban VIII in the seventeenth century and princes by Clement XII in 1730 This act of vandalism fits well within the long history of enmity between the Corsini and Albani families in the papal court. We have been unable to connect the sheet to a specific project at any Albani residence but future research should consider the Villa Castelbarco Albani in Vaprio dâ€™Adda northeast of Milan whose documentation has proved difficult to obtain. unknown books
