1824ST17496-014Zurich: by the author and Henry Fuessli and Comp 1824-25. FIRST EDITION. 445 x 325 mm. 17 1/2 x 12 3/4". 26 leaves of descriptive text. Lacking title page and dedication.Commentary by art historian Johann Jacob Horner. <br/> Modern tan half morocco over olive green buckram raised bands spine panels with gilt ornament red morocco label. 24 FINE AQUATINT VIEWS COLORED BY A CONTEMPORARY HAND. Brunet III 357. Text pages variably foxed from a little to very but somehow THE LOVELY PLATES IN FINE CLEAN CONDITION--fresh and bright with pleasing coloring in an unworn sympathetic binding.<br/> <br/> This is a rare complete colored set of Hüber's famed views of Pompeii much sought-after by armchair travellers after excavations uncovered that urban time capsule in the late 18th century. The German-born Hüber 1787-1871 settled in Naples in his early 20s studying landscape painting with Dutch émigré painter Jacob Philipp Hackert 1737-1807 who was known for his lush scenes often featuring ruins. His arrival in the region coincided with the occupation of Naples by the French who accelerated the excavations underway at Pomepii which had been buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The rapid burial of the city in volcanic ash had captured a moment in time and the opportunity to see a well-preserved example of life in the ancient Roman Empire caught in medias res drew eager travellers on the Grand Tour of the Continent. Hüber's well-executed views often picture these tourists and their contemporary dress contrasts sharply with the classical ruins. Lord Napier in his "Notes on Modern Painting at Naples" 1855 credits Hüber for introducing the use of watercolors to the meticulously drawn landscapes then being produced. This innovation is displayed in the hand-colored plates here which were also issued in uncolored state. Napier was correct to appreciate the value of adding colors which increases both the drama of the views and the pleasure of the viewer. Because the attractive sets with color were often broken up complete volumes of the colored plates are rarely seen for sale: we could trace just three such copies sold at auction as listed in RBH and ABPC the two best ones were the Feltrinelli copy which sold for $14330 in 2001 and the Donaueschingen copy fetching $13750 in 2014. Ours does not have the distinguished provenance attached to those copies and it lacks two preliminary leaves but the text is present and most important the lovely colored plates are in fine condition. by the author and Henry Fuessli and Comp unknown

1787ST17496-043Rome: Bouchard et Gravier 1787. 525 x 375 mm. 20 3/4 x 14 3/4". <br/> Near contemporary half calf over marbled boards smooth spine divided by gilt rules into panels with blind-stamped centerpiece red morocco label hinges reinforced with buckram marbled endpapers and edges. Engraved vignette on title page and 99 COPPER-ENGRAVINGS ON 60 PLATES. A 1911 letter from the editor of "Hobbies" magazine in response to a previous owner's questions about the contents of this volume laid in at front. The plate numbered 92 with an 18th century cemetery scene pasted to the verso; rear flyleaf with two engravings pasted on. Cicognara 3595; Brunet I 646. Spine label partly missing front joint cracked from tail edge to midpoint head and tail of spine chipped boards a bit chafed and with a drizzle of white paint to front cover but the binding still solid. Occasional mild marginal foxing or finger smudges but an excellent copy internally fresh and clean throughout and with pleasing impressions of engravings. Not an external beauty as is often the case with architectural tomes but quite attractive inside.<br/> <br/> This is a collection of beautifully engraved plates drawn from the work of a painter and engraver who made engravings for Piranesi's 1748 "Varie vedute di Roma antica e moderna" and collaborated with him on the majestic "Le antichità Romane" 1756. Inspired by his work with the master Barbault drew and engraved his own series of Roman views issued in "Les plus beau monumens de Rome ancienne" 1761 and "Recueil de divers monumens anciens" 1770. The plates in the present volume are drawn from those works. Barbault's picturesque scenes are characterized by a sense of romantic decay: in some the landscape is open and generally free from human intrusion the once-grand ruins rising proudly from the encroaching vegetation. One has the sense of being among the first to stumble across these hidden wonders. In others the artist juxtaposes temple remains with the shed of a contemporary farmer a humbling contrast between past grandeur and present poverty. Jean Barbault 1718-62 had studied painting in Paris with John Restout II before receiving a scholarship from the Académie des Beaux-Arts for travel to Rome in 1721. Once there he stayed building a career as engraver and establishing himself with Piranesi and his circle. Bouchard et Gravier unknown
