11140Undated but contemporaneous with the letter which is dated 'Cleveland March 17th. 1857'. 4to 2 pp. On bifolium. Good on lightly-aged paper. Text clear and complete. The letter of 39 lines requests Herbert's opinion of 'the feasibility of a plan for the domestication of the Primated Grouse of the western prairies in this section of the country'. He writes because 'some few passages in your own writings have led me to know that one who has the heart of and a desire to be a true sportsman would not if requesting a favor at your hand be overlooked'. Signed 'Titrao Cupido Box 841 O.O. Cleveland Ohio'. This has been lightly crossed-out in pencil with the signature 'Jno. B. Hearsh' written beside it. The second signature is asterisked with the following note regarding it at the foot of the page: 'The above is a pseudonym for John H. Beardsley formerly of Cleveland Ohio. It would be well to take no notice of this letter.' Undated, but contemporaneous with the letter, which is dated 'Cleveland, March 17th. 1857'. unknown
Acquaforte misure: mm 77 x 241 Incisore e disegnatore, si dedicò sporadicamente alla pittura. Il padre Francesco, scultore allievo di Giambologna, morì prematuramente ma riuscì ad avviare tutti i suoi figli a mestieri d’arte. Stefano fu il solo ad eccellere, ebbe i primi insegnamenti presso botteghe di dimenticati orefici i quali ebbero tuttavia il pregio di fargli prender dimestichezza con il bulino. Fu sostanzialmente un autodidatta. Le fonti bibliografiche affermano che egli si esercitava a disegnare figure curiosamente partendo dai piedi e a copiare le incisioni di Jacques Callot avendo come unico confronto l'incisore Remigio Cantagallina. Fu notato poi dal pittore Giovan Battista Vanni che lo prese nella sua bottega e gli diede i primi insegnamenti di pittura e del disegno. La vocazione di Della Bella fu sicuramente l'incisione e già le sue prime opere rivelano i temi a lui più cari: scene di vita contemporanea, feste, battaglie e le decorazioni. Lo studio delle incisioni e dei disegno di maestri antichi, la conoscenza e il confronto con i maestri fiorentini e fiamminghi a lui contemporanei allora presenti alla corte medicea furono furono di grande stimolo. Egli è considerato un grafico puro, grazie ai suoi numerosi viaggi tra Roma e Parigi e grazie alla protezione dei Medici maturò un proprio linguaggio grafico, in vita e per tutto il XVIII secolo fu ricercato e collezionato in Francia e in Italia. Questa è la tavola numero 14 della serie Ornamenti di fregi e fogliami, composta da sedici stampe. Nel fregio superiore, al centro, un putto con le ali di farfalla doma e accarezza due leoni dai cui corpi partono volute di fogliame. In quello inferiore le allegorie delle quattro stagioni: all'interno di girali di fogliame, frutti, fiori e serpenti troviamo le teste di Inverno, Primavera, Estate e Autunno. In basso, inciso nel margine inferiore, "Stef. della Bella inuenti et fecit", "N. Langlois excu", "Cum Priuil Regis" e numero. Impressione eccellente. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Ampi margini oltre la battuta del rame. Stato: III/VI con l'indirizzo N.Langlois (Parigi 1640 - 1703). Bibliografia: De Vesme-Massar 1000, pag. 218.

Acquaforte misure: mm 164 × 130 Pittore ed incisore allievo di Guido Reni e di Giovanni Andrea Sirani dai quali spesso ha desunto i soggetti delle sue incisioni. Più noto come incisore che come pittore segue i modi classicisti del maestro Guido Reni adottando un segno chiaro e sciolto; è oggi considerato uno dei protagonisti del panorama grafico bolognese di pieno Seicento; a lui vengono ricondotte venticinque lastre in tutto secondo Bartsch nelle quali si evince qualche incertezza nelle morsure. In questo foglio viene raffigurato cupido colto in una posa classica che teneramente giace su dei cuscini lasciati a terra, la scena si svolge all'interno di una tenda lasciata aperta in modo da mostrare allo spettatore il paesaggio sullo sfondo caratterizzato da un esile arbusto e da delle rocce. Il dio dell'Amore è assopito, ha gli occhi chiusi e la bocca aperta e a terra possiamo notare abbandonati l'arco e le frecce. Buona impressione nello stato unico, foglio rifilato lungo l’impronta del rame, carta ingiallita, una macchia nell’angolo superiore destro del foglio e un piccolo foro sul ventre di cupido. L’incisione è applicata in antico su una pagina di album (databile al secolo XVIII). Bibliografia: Bartsch, “Le Peintre Graveur”, vol. 19, pag. 91, n° 20; The Illustrated Bartsch, vol. 42, 20 (176).
