1912135051912. inscribed by Sabatini A History and Some Criticisms. With a Coloured Frontispiece and Sixteen Other Illustrations in Half-tone. London: Stanley Paul & Co. n.d.1912. 32 pp ads undated but with this title listed second in the list of new announcements and with 1910 and 1911 cited elsewhere. Original black cloth lettered in gilt with dust jacket. First Edition of this very early historical work by Sabatini about a decade before he hit it big with "swashbuckling" tales such as SCARAMOUCHE and CAPTAIN BLOOD. Born of an Italian father and an English mother and educated in Portugal and Switzerland Sabatini 1875-1950 was fluent in five languages by the time he was eighteen; he would soon have a position in the Intelligence Department of the War Office during the Great War. The Sabatini website cites a 48-page ad catalogue but we think it is quite possible that this catalogue may precede: the only dates appearing in this catalogue are 1910 and 1911 and the inscription below is dated January 1912 the month of publication. This is a near-fine copy the only real flaw being some small holes in the cloth at the joints one fore-corner also shows some wear; included is the 1912 dust jacket red printed in black in good-to-very good condition a large chip at the bottom of the front panel other minor edge-wear but nothing affecting print spine slightly faded. THIS IS AN INSCRIBED PRESENTATION COPY with the author's ink inscription on the title verso "To Herbert Jarman from Rafael Sabatini London 17 Jany 1912". Jarman was an actor and occasional assistant producer on the London stage -- for example not long before this inscription Jarman had starred as Louis XIII in the 1911 stage production of "Bardelys the Magnificent" adapted by Sabatini and Henry Hamilton from Sabatini's 1906 novel of the same title our thanks to Sabatini biographer Ruth Heredia for this information. This early Sabatini title is scarce; in dust jacket it is very scarce; and inscribed it is extremely scarce. unknown books

177420165Rome 1774. Copper engraving on two joined sheets by Ottaviani after drawings by Savorelli and Camporesi printed in light brown coloured ink with contemporary hand-colouring. Neat marginal restoration. A stunning plate from "Logge di Rafaele nel Vaticano": with contemporary colouring of the highest quality from the golden age of the hand-coloured print. In the main panel the Lord appears to Isaac and tells him not to go down into Egypt but to stay in Gerara.<br/> <br/>A very fine image from the second part of a work titled "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" depicting the decorative work executed by Raphael and his assistants between 1518-1519 in the Vatican. They were drawn by Gaetano Savorelli a Roman painter and draughtsman best known for his Raphael drawings and Pietro Camporesi a Roman architect who worked for Pope Clemens XIII and Pius VI on rooms for the Vatican Museum. The first to illustrate the famous frescoes these beautiful plates were probably planned as early as 1760 but were not executed until 1772 to 1776. The plate is remarkable not only as the first important visual record of Raphael's work but also for the quality of the hand-colouring - the work on this image is in our opinion some of the greatest to be produced in Europe during the whole of the eighteenth century: the golden age of the hand-coloured print. They were remarkable not just for their size and magnificent colouring but also because of the influence they had on contemporary taste. The decision was made to "borrow" elements from Raphael's Vatican tapestries and insert them where the original frescoes were in too poor a state to be legible. The finished plates therefore represented an amalgam of design elements presented with a crisp freshness of colour that held enormous appeal and did much to stimulate the taste for the "grotesque" in the Neo-classical period. A year after the death of his principal patron Julius II Raphael succeeded Donato Bramante in 1514 as the official Vatican architect. Having previously adorned the "Stanze" or chambers of Julius on the second floor of the papal apartments in the Vatican palace he was commissioned by Leo X in 1517 to decorate the adjacent Logge. He designed an elaborate cycle of ornamental frescoes for the room's ceiling vaults doors and auxiliary pillars which were executed by his assistants Giulio Romano and Giovanni da Udine. Twelve of the quadrilateral ceiling vaults were adorned with murals of familiar Old Testament scenes and one with a scene from the New Testament while the more decorative frescoes painted on the pilasters by Udine were covered with imaginative compositions of 'grotesque' motifs like foliage fruit and chimerical beasts.<br/> <br/>Cf.
