In Il carillon magico Pick-Mangiagalli's most successful stage work this promise reached fulfilment: though slight the style is recognizably personal with frequent unrelated triads chromatic slithers unusually placed augmented triads and diminished 7th chords and so on. Musical means are perfectly matched to dramatic context." John C.G. Waterhouse in Grove Music Online. G. Ricordi & C. unknown books

1690BB005<p>A remarkable collection of 62 engraved copperplates representing the earliest impressions of fantastic figures composed of the tools or attributes of their trades created and produced about 1690 onwards thru 1694 enhanced at the time with brilliant hand-coloring silver and gold paint. These prints are a marvel of inventiveness showing the inspiration and influence of the 16th century painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo 1527-1593 who chiefly imagined only heads now extended and re-invented for the Court of Louis XIV. </p><p>Amongst the most famous prints of the late 17th century their printing history is rather complicated. Nicolas I de Larmessin or L'Armessin 1632-1694 designed engraved and published approximately 62 plates in his lifetime. His widow Marie Bertrand added 14 plates from his unfinished designs and his younger brother Nicolas II c.1645-1725 engraved a further 21 plates from 1695 to 1720s. All of the prints were individually published with re-engravings in reverse by the younger brother which often simplified these earlier designs by omitting background details. Altogether it has been suggested that a total of 97 images were eventually issued. </p><p>From the Beauvillain library ex-libris by Jouas.

36596Birmingham England late 18th century. Oblong quarto. 7 1/2 x 11 inches. 113 engraved plates on laid paper priced throughout in manuscript. Later calf backed marbled paper covered boards flat spine ruled and lettered in gilt.<br/> <br/>A rarely encountered pattern book or trade catalogue of 18th century English furniture hardware including drawer pulls keyholes hinges locks castors bolts and more.<br/> <br/>By 1770 over thirty different brass foundries operated in Birmingham England making it the epicenter of furniture hardware design in the last quarter of the 18th century. At roughly the same period trade catalogues like the present began to be issued by both furniture and hardware makers alike. In all over 500 designs are shown on the 113 consecutively numbered plates from rather simple hinges to incredibly ornate pulls. Although no engravers' names are identified it has been suggested that the foundries themselves produced such plates utilizing the talents of their own craftsmen who by their very occupation would have been highly skilled at etching on metal.
