1780265361780. Pastel on laid watermarked paper. The sheet retains signs of having been stretched as these types of portraits typically were. Dampstain upper right corner tear lower right corner otherwise excellent condition. A strikingly well done portrait of a successful European gentleman with piercing eyes.<br/> <br/>Pastel portraits were popular in Europe Great Britain and America during most of the 18th century especially in the 1770s and 80s. They provided a more rapid way of rendering a likeness in bright colors that didn't yellow. This was a golden age for portrait painting which exemplified the optimistic views of the Enlightenment: a sitter was not ashamed to show his or her wealth contentment or character. Our self -assured subject looks directly at the viewer with piercing eyes calm practical not likely to be fooled. It is an astounding accomplishment; we feel that this was exactly how he was. The artist allowed himself or herself there were a number of excellent female pastel portraitists particularly in France to be subject entirely to what was seen and sensed about this strong indomitable personality.<br/> <br/>Baetjer & Shelly Pastel Portraits.

030078No Binding. Very Good. small folio one page formerly folded top edge lightly browned else very good. Text neatly inscribed in ink on laid paper. The sheet judging from the fold marks was evidently folded into a very small triangle of just over an inch in size possibly for easy concealment and transmittal. he present document is both intriguing and curious it discusses the Treaty of Paris and contains information which poses several intriguing questions: the document states that Peace would be signed on the 19th at six o'clock in the evening and with conditions which differed somewhat from the terms of the final treaty. The preliminary articles of peace were not signed until November 30 1782 the final Treaty ending the War was signed on September 3 1783. The terms mentioned in this manuscript differ from the final document. The questions posed by this document are: Does the present document discuss a preliminary draft Is it incorrect or secretly transmitted information from the private negotiations Is it deliberate misinformation The document reads: "La paix a eté signé le 19 a six heures du soir en vois les conditions - Les anglois rendent Gibraltar aux Espagnoles et rentrens sa possession de mexique quis repoussant pas fortfiee aux Antilles nous rend aux anglois la Grenade et St. Christophe ils nous rendent Ste Lucie et tabago St. Eustache revient aux holandais nous aurons la moitié du Banc de Terre Neuve pour la peche de la marine nous gardons en Afrique les establissement sur la Riviere du Senegal et L'isle de Gorée dans L'inde pondichery a nous madras aux anglois qui repoussant avoie qu'un seul comptoir sur la cote de Malabare Le commerce et deveniere libre sur toute les mers et les etats unis de L'Amerique recouvrer independent; La France pourra entretenir en tenir de paix vingt vaisseaux de Guerre rrive a l'Engleterre quinze seulement" The Definitive Treaty of Peace was signed at Paris September 3 1783. This treaty between Great Britain and the United States marked the final consummation of American independence. Coincidentally were signed peace treaties between Great Britain and each of two other belligerents France the ally of the United States and Spain the ally of France. A preliminary peace between Great Britain and the Netherlands no one's ally had been signed on September 2 1783. The definitive treaties marked the end of a complicated negotiation in Paris between Great Britain and her several enemies begun in March 1782 by the Rockingham Ministry and continued by the government of Lord Shelburne through its agent Richard Oswald who had conducted the American negotiation from the first and other British diplomatic officers. It was featured by the separately negotiated preliminary and conditional articles of peace between the United States and Great Britain signed Nov. 30 1782 which were not to go into effect until peace should be signed between the American ally France and the common enemy Great Britain. France in turn deferred her peace until her ally Spain should have also reached a settlement with Great Britain. The French and Spanish preliminaries were signed on Jan. 2 1783 on which date the American preliminaries went into effect and a general armistice took place pending signature of a final and definitive treaty of peace. The three sets Anglo-American Anglo- French and Anglo-Spanish of preliminary articles of peace were thus in the nature of armistice agreements which accompanied a cessation of hostilities but did not end the legal state of war. The definitive treaties which ended the war were deferred for several months in the hope of securing more concessions from the British and to give the Dutch time to make a satisfactory peace with Great Britain. The Anglo-Dutch preliminary articles of peace were signed on Sept. 2 1783 and the next day the definitive treaties American Fr <br /><br /> books

A wonderful romantic view in the grand tradition of the picturesque English landscape.<br/> <br/>Towards the middle of the eighteenth century a trend developed amongst English artists and printmakers which sought to visually record the natural beauties of England and Wales.

16795420Burgos 1679. No Binding. Very Good. Folio 28.5 x 19 cm. 1 f. title page 14 ff. with engraving on title page. Disbound. Very minor handsoiling a few leaves trimmed close at upper margin resulting in partial loss of printed folio numbers manuscript foliation contemporary annotations to final page. Generally very good. Very rare Spanish legal document concerning tithes certified between the Archbishop of Granada Alonso Bernardo de los Rios y Guzman served 1677-92 and the Prior of the Carthusian monastery of Granada. While the text offers a fascinating and surprisingly detailed account of this ecclesiastical suit and is especially rich in prosopographical material the work is primarily of importance for its early copperplate engraving of the Virgin of Atocha depicted as the miraculous patroness of Madrid. The revered statue a wooden carving now thought to date from the thirteenth century is here depicted clothed in its golden baroque regalia and crowned with radiating halos for centuries the Virgin accrued the rich votive offerings of royal visitors. Housed in the Basilica de Neustra Señora de Atocha in Madrid the Virgin was long especially favored by the kings and queens of Spain and her presence on the title of this legal document functions as a manner of royal certification the text ends with the printed approval of Carlos II here simply "YO EL REY". OCLC and KVK locate only one copy of this text that housed at the Universidad de Sevilla. Not in Palau; the present copy collates with the Seville copy. <br/> <br/> unknown books
