1836WRCAM52991N.p. but near present-day Prampram Ghana 1836. Three pencil sketches on wove paper each approximately 7 x 10 inches. Central vertical crease to each drawing the first two titled in a contemporary hand in pencil to verso the third similarly titled below the image. Very good. An attractive set of skillfully-executed original pencil sketches featuring British colonial structures in Prampram Gold Coast present-day Ghana likely between 1819 and 1836. The sketches are titled in pencil as follows: "Commandant's Residence Pam Pram Gold Coast" "Lower Town Pam Pram from the Upper Town" and "Abandoned Fort at Appolonia from the Beach." <br> <br> The Union Jack flies proudly in the foreground of the sketch of the Commandant's residence. Officially Great Britain colonized the Gold Coast region from 1867 until the independence of Ghana in 1957 though the British had maintained and controlled forts along the West African coastline since long before 1867. Fort Appolonia in the extreme southwestern corner of the country had been a British trading and military outpost from 1691 until 1819 and then again from 1836 onwards when it changed hands from the British to the Dutch then back to the British again. As such if the artist here labeled Fort Appolonia as "Abandoned" he or she must have sketched the fort during the period it was shuttered between 1819 and 1836. <br> <br> A fascinating trio of original sketches offering unique views from a rarely- visualized period in British colonial affairs in West Africa. unknown books

The scarce catalogue of an auction directed by Bon-Thomas Henry 1766-1836 first a painter then a respected dealer and tasteful collector.

Between 1810 and 1830 he assembled an eclectic collection purchasing either privately or at sales among them the posthumous sales 1826 and 1827 of Vivant Denon.

6449viii 268 pp. 8vo early 19th-cent. marbled boards spine defective. Amsterdam: P. Yver 1785. The extremely rare French edition there was an edition in Dutch the same year of this catalogue of an impressive sale. A contemporary annotator has supplemented it with prices buyers' names and commentary on the artworks almost all dismissive in the margins. Van Slingelandt 1701-82 a great patron of the arts who lived in Dordrecht amassed one of the most notable Dutch painting collections of the 18th century. This heavily annotated volume is the first and most important part of the sale describing 701! paintings along with eight drawings. The second part of drawings and sculptures followed shortly thereafter. Van Slingelandt's collection consisted of Old Masters and contemporary Dutch artists some of whom the collector himself patronized. The present catalogue details the works of Asselijn Bakhuizen Berghem J. Brueghel père et fils Cuyp 38 lots Dou van Dyck Jordaens Metsu Netscher Adrian and Isaac van Ostade Potter Rembrandt Rubens Ruysdael Steen Teniers ter Borch Wouwerman etc. etc. All lots are priced with buyers' names. It is clear the annotator viewed and attended the sale. For almost every item he has provided the name of the buyer. The annotator likely a connoisseur has written generally disparaging comments on the works for sale deriding them as copies or incorrectly attributed: "mauvais" "bizarre" "lourd" "médiocre" "not by Rembrandt." There are additional remarks on condition and provenance which are very interesting. The rare positive observation praises the work of a young artist or salutes a master's finest painting. This sale presided over by Pierre Yver 1712-87 and Abraham Delfos 1731-1820 the preeminent Dutch art dealers of the period was attended by many of their competitors including Pierre Fouquet who frequently purchased on behalf of the famous French expert Jean Baptiste Pierre Lebrun 1748-1813 as corroborated by several annotations in this copy. Lebrun solidified his position as the leading dealer in Netherlandish pictures by purchasing directly from the source and was buying heavily at sales such as these. Other notes indicate there were dealers from Brussels Lyon Antwerp Amsterdam Germany the Hague and Rotterdam. An extremely interesting annotated copy. A few of the annotations are cropped. ❧ Lugt 3936. Oxford Art online Delfos & Yver. hardcover books

A very scarce sale catalogue mostly priced; we locate no copy in North America.
