Grande incisione ad acquaforte (cm. 55 x 42) realizzata da Giorgio Hackert sul quadro del fratello Philipp: rappresenta il porto di Taranto. Gli Hackert lavorarono molto in Italia e all’epoca di quest’incisione, probabilmente non di molto posteriore al 1789, data del quadro, erano pittore e incisore di corte presso Ferdinando IV. Il quadro è nel museo della Reggia di Caserta. Negli ultimi anni del secolo sono numerosi i porti italiani ritratti da Philipp: la didascalia recita “Preso dal quadro originale che fu parte della collezione dei porti delle due Sicilie ordinata da S.M. il Re. Ottime condizioni, molto raro. A big etching engraved by Georg Hackert on a painting of his brother Philipp: the subject is Taranto’s port. Hackert brothers worked in Italy for a long time, and at this etching time, around 1789 (it’s the painting year), they were painter and engraver of the Ferdinand’s Court, in Caserta (where the painting is still in the collection). Many Italian ports were painted by Philipp in the late XVIII, when the king asked him to do a recognition (and a series of paintings) of southern Italy coast. Very good conditions, much rare.
In -folio grande (cm. 50 x 35), 35 grandi tavv. con un totale di 53 incisioni indicizzate e numerate.

NUMBER ONE OF ONLY TEN SETS OF THIS OUTSTANDING PORTFOLIO OF EXPRESSIONIST ETCHINGS, WITH MANY OF THE ETCHINGS PRINTED ON OLD JAPANESE PAPER. In 1918 German novelist Hans Bethge wrote "Satuila oder vom Zauber der Suedsee" ("Satuila or the Enchantment of the South Sea"), the story of a young woman in Samoa. It is a sensual, escapist tale: the situation in Germany was quite terrible after the defeat in WWI, and there was great demand for escapism. This novel was a hit, and a deluxe edition, with 6 original etchings by German Expressionist artist Georg Alexander Mathey, was published in Berlin in 1921. The etchings are extremely beautiful, perfectly capturing the lush sensuality of the landscape and the unabashed sexuality of the characters (similar to the depictions of Gypsies by Otto Mueller, from about the same time). This edition of the novel was limited to 250 copies. Aside from the book edition, 10 sets of the etchings were printed, with large margins. In these 10 sets, each of the etchings is signed and numbered by the artist. I OFFER ONE OF THESE 10 SETS: SET NUMBER 1, with each of the etchings numbered 1/10 and signed in pencil by the artist. FOUR OF THE SIX ETCHINGS IN THIS SET ARE PRINTED ON OLD JAPANESE PAPER, AND ARE PERHAPS UNIQUE AS SUCH. Additionally, there is a signed working proof of an early version of one of the etchings, also printed on old Japanese paper. This proof is probably unique, as the etching was never published. The set is as it was issued. Each etching (sheet size 8 1/2 x 7 inches--22 x 18 cm) is individually matted, and the original parchment-backed cloth portfolio case (16 1/2 x 13 inches--42 x 33 cm). There is a little light wear to the portfolio, but the etchings are fine and bright. An important and extremely rare item (and perhaps the only German Expressionist depictions of the South Pacific!)

Illustrated with 43 original etchings (16 full-page and hors-texte) by Aristide Maillol, many of which are quite erotic. From a total edition of 230 copies, this is ONE OF 35 ON JAPAN PAPER. Only the copies on Japan are signed with Maillol's monogram, as this copy is. (Note: the individual etchings are not signed in this or in any other known copy. I once saw a copy with poorly forged penciled monograms on each of the hors-texte etchings, though.) This copy furthermore contains another etching by Maillol, "Feuille d'etudes" (Guerin 379), never published and extremely rare (this particular etching is illustrated in a full-page plate in Vollard's autobiography). Although Maillol illustrated several books with lithographs and woodcuts, this is the only one he did with etchings and, in fact, it contains almost the entirety of his work in this medium. One of Vollard's last great books: the great publisher died before the book was completed. According to Strachan, one of Vollard's "finest masterpieces." (p. 36) Small quarto, loose in original wraps as issued. Fine.
