Light rubbing to joints and edges boards just a little marked trivial foxing and faint spots here and there but A REMARKABLY FINE COPY the binding lustrous and showing little wear the paper extremely bright and fresh the margins immense and the paint and gold unusually vibrant. The marvelous illustrations of Dutch engraver and poet Jan Luyken comprise this collection of "remarkable stories" from the Bible each depicted with panoramic grandeur and enhanced with a wide range of finely applied colors and gold. Luyken 1649-1712 had written and illustrated erotic poetry as a young man but later became a devout Pietist after reading the works of German mystic Jakob Böhme. He became a member of the Baptist Church in 1673 and thereafter devoted his talents to producing religious works. The vast scenes here are notable in their scale detail and animation. There are a number of battle scenes from the Old Testament as well as dramatic depictions of the plagues and a fascinating episode from the histories of Josephus depicting Herod's soldiers being lowered down the side of a cliff in large boxes suspended from chains in order to attack the thieves hiding in caverns on the cliffside. There is a majestic portrayal of the Queen of Sheba arriving at the court of Solomon a peaceful scene of Adam naming the beasts in the Garden of Eden and a festive celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles. New Testament scenes include a terrifying final judgment a blinding conversion of St. Paul and scenes from that Apostle's travels. The engravings have one common trait: they are heavily populated whether by men or beasts and one of Luyken's special gifts is to render every person in the crowd as an individual with his own concerns and reactions to the events at hand. The engravings while already greatly pleasing in black and white are even more stirring and memorable when seen in the full color and gold used here. Expansive tableaus are given greater definition and clarity and events such as Noah’s flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah are rendered even more successful in expressing the awesome powers of the Almighty. The illustrations are quite definitely Protestant in point of view: there are no depictions of the Virgin Mary not even a Nativity scene. Except for engravings of the Annunciation to the Shepherds and the Massacre of the Holy Innocents the illustrations focus on Jesus as an adult and on the work of his Apostles spreading the gospel. There were earlier editions containing Luyken's 62 large plates which originally appeared without text as here in 1708 and they appeared again with a text in Dutch in 1729 and in French in 1732. Copies of these editions appear with some regularity in the marketplace but are usually not colored and are often found incomplete or with other major condition issues. We can trace no record in RBH or OCLC of a copy of our 1790 edition and we can find nothing that compares with the quality of coloring and grand height attained by the monumental margins seen here.

1832ST15199b-eLondon 1832-58. Quartos. 26 leaves; 40 leaves of text 1 leaf ads; iv 4 256 pp. errata slip; 2 p.l. 192 pp. Four separately published works. Court Album in blue publisher's cloth decorated in gilt and blind; "Waverley Gallery" in green half morocco over green cloth raised bands spine gilt in compartments with central fleuron; "Heath's Picturesque Annual" in publisher's red morocco decorated in gilt and blind; "Tourist in Wales" in half calf over purple buckram raised bands spine panels with gilt floral sprig at center. Court Album with 14 engraved portraits of female aristocrats; "Waverley Gallery" with 36 engravings of the principal female characters in Sir Walter Scott's romances; "Heath's Picturesque Annual" with extra engraved title page and 26 engravings by Ritchie after drawings by Clarkson Stanfield; "Tourist in Wales" with extra engraved title page and 49 engravings of views. ◆Bindings with minor imperfections but all solid and pleasing; occasional mild offsetting or minor marginal foxing a couple of short marginal tears to text leaves bur excellent copies internally the text clean and fresh the plates bright with fine impressions. These are appealing examples of the illustrated works that were so popular in the Victorian era providing readers with glimpses of the nobility images of their favorite literary characters and the opportunity to enjoy dramatic scenery from the comfort of their drawing rooms. The first two works here contain portraits of beautiful women both real society belles and heroines of bestselling romances. The latter two transport the armchair traveller to the wilds of Wales to the Austrian and Italian Alps and to the Rhine River. Although in black and white the engravings are so detailed and finely executed particularly in the use of shadow and light that both portraits and landscapes come to life. In the days before photography--much less streaming videos--books like these brought beauty and imagination into everyday lives.
