18171002752London: Rudolph Ackermann 1817. Delightful example of the "line and dot" caricature craze of the Regency period. Although the art of the stick figure dates back to prehistoric times English caricaturist George Moutard Woodward is generally credited with inspiring the modern "pinmen" genre with his "Multum in Parvo or Lilliputian Sketches" early in the nineteenth century. Soon publishers across London were turning out prints of comically expressive pinmen hunting riding dueling flirting and acting Shakespeare. In February 1817 Ackermann's Repository of Arts published a satirical poem "Dottator et Lineator Loquitur" from the perspective of an exultant caricaturist: "I know that I can do much more / Than artists ever did before; / With but a DOT and eke a LINE / In ev'ry shape and act I'll shine." The poem was illustrated with a series of pinmen performing scenes from a ball: "Asking to Dance" "Cross Hands" "Hornpipe" and so on. This engraving printed on heavy paper and trimmed within the plate mark features the same dancers depicted in the pages of Ackermann's. A very good caricature print. Engraved caricature print measuring 3.75 x 8.25 inches imprint trimmed. Occasional stray spot. [Rudolph Ackermann] unknown books

Containing a total of 160 Japanese folded sheets illustrated with a profusion of colour woodcut-printed designs. 8vo. 268 x 193 mm bound in original Japanese paper wrappers stitched laid in a new Japanese folding chitsu case. Tokyo: 1817-1825. First Edition. A fine set of this important compendium of early Japanese textile design which is also a masterpiece of Japanese bookmaking. Matsuoka Tokikata began compiling the work in the late eighteenth century and it was completed by Honma Hyakuri early in the nineteenth century. The work is divided into five parts: I. Karginu: Colour designs of hunting clothing; II. Jokan: Costume design for court ladies; III. Reifuku: Ceremonial dresses; IV. Nishiki orimono: Designs on brocades; V. Gyoko: Costumes used for Imperial visits. The delicately coloured designs include many that are refined and subtle and many that are elaborate and ravishingly beautiful. The imagery is classical Japanese: a profusion of varieties fill the pages of these volumes with flowers birds bamboo rivers and flowing waters insects butterflies fish coloured patterns and blind-stamped ornaments. Of the greatest rarity. Some minor wear to wrappers but overall a fine set. hardcover books
