1936375755The Studio London Undated c.1936. First Edition. Hardcover. Good Condition. One of Holme's four classic Studio Publications on Japanese print culture presenting a finely curated suite of kacho-ga plates that helped shape early Western appreciation of ukiyo-e. A handsome volume and still one of the most approachable gateways into the field with a graceful selection of ukiyo-e images centred on the world of the geisha; musicians dancers and performers captured in moments of poise ritual and quiet artistry. Holme's curation highlights the refinement of gesture costume and setting offering Western readers an early respectful window onto the professional culture of women trained in music dance and social accomplishment. It's the most atmospheric of the four volumes rich in mood and stage-like elegance. 8 large colour plates images measuring 15 x 22 cms approx each with tissue guards and 6 pages of explanatory text. Some foxing to the paper throughout but not to the printed images though their surrounds are foxed. Printed boards covered in Japanese style paper.

1697ST19416Rotterdam: Reinier Leers 1697- ca. 1713. 390 x 245 mm. 15 3/8 x 9 5/8". <br/> APPEALING CONTEMPORARY MARBLED CALF GILT covers with border roll of alternating diamonds and lilies raised bands spine compartments with thistle tulip and acorn centerpiece foliate cornerpieces burgundy morocco spine label marbled endpapers all edges gilt. WITH 66 SENSITIVELY DRAWN AND EXPERTLY ENGRAVED PORTRAITS of notable personages after Adriaen van der Werff created for Larrey's "Histoire." Brunet III 852; Graesse IV 110-11; Lowndes II 1313 all citing Larrey’s "Histoire". Leather with a few minor scratches a half dozen plates lightly browned isolated mild marginal foxing but A VERY FINE COPY--the plates especially clean and fresh with rich impressions of the engravings and in a lustrous unrestored contemporaneous binding.<br/> <br/> These brilliant portraits by Dutch Baroque painter Adriaen van der Werff 1659-1722 were unanimously deemed by Brunet Graesse and Lowndes to be the only valuable part of Larrey's otherwise disappointing history of England Scotland and Ireland; and our former owner seems to have agreed choosing to have them bound--quite beautifully--apart from the text. The engravings here are mostly of 16th and 17th century kings queens religious figures and statesmen of England but they also include some continental European monarchs such as Holy Roman Emperor Charles V Philip II of Spain and Frederick the Great of Prussia. The plates are not only beautifully engraved—by accomplished Dutch engravers Pieter van Gunst Cornelis Vermeulen and Gerard Valck—but are wonderfully convincing images with considerable personality. For once Queen Elizabeth I looks like a real woman as opposed to a tightly cinched flattened figure floating above a farthingale and dwarfed by mountainous ruffs. And Henry VII looks much less regal than he does haggard and rueful. According to the "Handbook of Painting" van der Werrf's portraits "were so highly admired by princes and men of fortune that he found it impossible to execute all the commissions given him." His fortune was made when John William Elector of the Palatinate commissioned his own portrait: so pleased was the elector with this work that he put the artist on a generous retainer presented him with a portrait executed in diamonds and awarded him a knighthood. Larrey's "Histoire d'Angleterre d'Ecosse et d'Irlande" was issued between 1697 and 1713 with a second edition in 1723. Brunet notes that the work was available with and without plates suggesting the suite of engravings was issued apart from the text; it is obvious our set has been together from the beginning in its present early 18th century binding.
