Picasso, Pablo, painter and sculptor (1881-1973).MareMagnum

2 full-page pen and brush drawings in Indian ink. In: Eaux-fortes originales pour des textes de Buffon. Paris, Martin Fabiani, 1942.

Small folio (287 x 377 mm). (6), 134, (24) pp. With 31 leaves plates (sugar aquatints, etchings and drypoints). In unbound sheets as issued, stored in publisher's original cardboard covers, portfolio and slipcase (some slight wear to the latter). Two unique and wholly original brush drawings, adorning a signed and inscribed first edition of this famous suite by Picasso, in perfect condition. - Limited edition of 226 copies: this is number 155, one of 135 on Vidalon vélin. This copy was presented by Picasso to his friend, the painter André Marchand (1907-98), with an autograph inscription and two original drawings, each one full page. The two drawings are executed in Indian ink, pen and brush, heightened with black ink wash. They occupy the verso of the half-title bifolium and the first section title ("Le Cheval"). The first drawing shows a tomato plant in a pot, probably a reference to the still lifes for which Marchand was known. The second presents two different figures of a horse: in the upper half of the sheet, a white horse, seen in profile; in the lower half, a powerful horse's head, also in profile, against a stark dark background. Both are dated by the artist "7 August 44"; the first drawing also bears in the lower right-hand corner the signed dedication: "Pour André Marchand / Picasso". - In 1936 Ambroise Vollard commissioned illustrations by Picasso for the comte de Buffon’s 18th century encyclopedia, "Histoire naturelle". The book was published in 1942 with Picasso’s 31 prints. The delightful images of the animal kingdom, rendered with exquisite technique, must have surely brought joy to those who viewed it during the dark days of the war. Printed in a relatively small edition of 226, several copies went to friends with unique drawings such as these. - Includes an additional print of the "Mère poule" plate. Provenance: André Marchand; Jean A. Bonna (his bookplate to the portfolio's pastedown). With a certificate from Picasso's daughter Maya, dated 10 October 2002. S. Goeppert, Picasso (1983), p. 104-107. The Artist and the Book, 231. OCLC 78845813.

[Bande dessinée].MareMagnum

Album of original drawings. Blois, Paris, Saint-Malo and no place, 1990-1994.

Folio (320 x 250 mm). 150 leaves with 140 drawings. Various media: felt-tip marker, India ink, pen, graphite, coloured pencil, gouache, etc. Contemporary leatherette album, upper cover giltstamped "Livre d'Or", covers reinforced with metal applications. Marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. A splendid album of original artwork by some of the foremost artists of the Franco-Belgian comics scene active during the early 1990s. The contributions, some of which are located and dated, would seem to have been collected at various comics fairs or events. Virtually all are inscribed to "Jean-Michel", also variously spelt "Yann Mikael" or similarly, suggesting - as do the frequent maritime subjects - that the collector hailed from Brittany, probably from Saint-Malo, where numerous entries were acquired. - Among the still-active luminaries of the medium's Golden Age are Morris (with a portrait of Lucky Luke) and Tabary (who draws Calife Haroun el Poussah, known in English as Haroun El Plassid). Jidéhem draws Gaston (on which strip he long collaborated with Franquin), and Albert Weinberg draws his character Dan Cooper. Marcel Uderzo, Albert's younger brother and sometime collaborator on the original Asterix albums, draws his own character Mathias. Others have taken over the torch from famous predecessors: Al Coutelis draws a spoof of Tanguy and Laverdure, a famous strip he inherited from Albert Uderzo; Jean-Claude Fournier draws Spirou, which character Franquin handed over to him as early as 1970. A portrait in fineliner and broad felt-tip is contributed by André Juillard, who would later take over Edgar P. Jacobs's Blake and Mortimer - a series in which Didier Convard, seen in another entry, would also have a hand, in collaboration with Juillard. Jacobs himself is obliquely present in the portrait of his villain Olrik, drawn by an unidentified contributor, while Jean-Charles Kraehn represents Saint-Malo's very own "bande dessinée" scene. - A few double-page spreads (21, 114). Occasional light offsetting to opposite page or bleeding to next, especially from felt-tip drawings, but on the whole perfectly preserved. A few blank pages serve as protective tissue guards. A complete list of contributors, all but a dozen identified, is available upon request.

[Klimt, Gustav] - Geyling, Remigius, painter and stage designer (1878-1974).MareMagnum

Collection of 23 portrait drawings and caricatures, all drawn "from life" and signed, dated, and titled by Geyling (often citing the place of the sitting). Includes two T.L.S. by Arthur Schnitzler. Vienna, 1897-1935.

Royal folio. In later years mounted onto uniform backing boards by Geyling himself and laid into two simple portfolios, both of which contain his autogr. table of portraits. All leaves numbered throughout by the artist (1-24; Schnitzler's letters on their own backing are no. 23) and captioned with the name and dates of the person portrayed. The earliest portrait dates from 1897, the year in which the Vienna Secession and the artistic periodical "Ver Sacrum" were founded. According to his inscription, it was for the latter that Geyling drew the present portrait of the Secessionist sculptor Rudolf Bacher. Many of the pictures collected in these two portfolios were created several years later, in 1905, during the heyday of the Wiener Werkstätte (for which Geyling designed postcards) and a year after Geyling and his partner Otto Prutscher closed their joint studio for furnishings and décor. "Although a member of the conservative 'Künstlerhaus', Geyling always was close to the Vienna Secession" (cf. AKL LII, 462). For Geyling, "Klimt, Hoffmann, Roller, Olbrich were not only my colleagues, but also my friends, and many a night did we debate about the 'new and pure art'" (cf. Remigius Geyling erzählt, aufgezeichnet von Gerald Szyszkowitz. In: Nebehay/Krug, pp. 5-8, here: p. 7). These nights apparently offered numerous opportunities for Geyling's portrait studies: apart from the portraits of the aforesaid, the present collection contains a picture of the frequent Tivoli patron Egon Schiele (from the year of his death) as well as a portrait of Adolf Loos, drawn in the famous Café Museum. It was probably here where also Karl Kraus (entitled "Fackl-Kraus" by the artist) sat for Geyling. The great painter enjoyed an especially close relationship to Gustav Klimt: for many years he belonged to the circle of those who shared breakfast with Klimt at the Tivoli (cf. Nebehay/Krug, p. 3). In that legendary restaurant at the Green Hill in Vienna's Meidling district, he drew the two portraits of Klimt in May 1905. Together with Peter Altenberg and Otto Wagner, Klimt is one of the few persons whom Geyling sketched in more than one portrait only (all on a single page). It was upon Klimt's recommendation that Geyling was hired as head of decorations at the "Neue Wiener Bühnen" in 1910; his first production was the premiere of Schnitzler's "Undiscovered Country". It was during the rehearsals for this production, on 14 October 1911, that Geyling produced the present portrait of Schnitzler. Schnitzler's two letters to Geyling concern their joint project of a "Medardus movie". Geyling had worked as decorator for the most important Austrian film productions. So successfully had he transferred the stylistic devices of the Wiener Werkstätte into historical tragedy that in 1924 Fritz Lang used Geyling's designs for his great silent "Nibelungen" series (cf. AKL LII, 462). - Provenance: From a Viennese private collection, to which the artist himself sold both portfolios. Nos. 6-8 and 18, 21 and 22 are each illustrated in full-page size in: Ch. M. Nebehay & H. Krug (eds.). Remigius Geyling. Künstler und Literaten. Gezeichnet in Wien um 1900. Wien 1974. (= Jahresgabe der Wiener Bibliophilengesellschaft). This work does not describe the present collection; all other drawings are unpublished.

Arrowsmith, Aaron.MareMagnum

Asia. To Major James Rennell, Esqr. F.R.S. &c. &c. This Map is Inscribed, by His much Obliged Humble Servant. January 1st 1801. A. Arrowsmith. London, G. Allen for A. Arrowsmith, 1801.

Engraved map in 36 segments on canvas, folded. Fine original hand-colour. Ca. 1450 x 1230 mm. Earliest edition of this wall map, the most accurate map of Asia published at the beginning of the 19th century. It shows significant advancement compared with other maps of the period, incorporating the work of surveyors like James Rennell, to whom the map was dedicated. Rennell was surveyor-general of the East India Company's dominions in Bengal, and the information published in his "Bengal Atlas" in 1779 appears here. Arrowsmith also included remarkable topographical detail such as mountain ranges in regions as remote as Tibet. Remarkably, the region on the shore of the Arabian Gulf is already labelled as "Bani Yas" territory. Arrowsmith has marked the track of Lapérouse's voyage in the Indian Ocean and Far East. - Aaron Arrowsmith (1750-1823) was the finest cartographer of his generation. Although he received little formal education, it is believed that he was provided with some mathematical instruction by William Emerson, an author of several books on the application of mathematics to the area of cartography. Around 1770, Arrowsmith moved to London to seek employment. It is believed that he worked for William Faden before joining John Cary Sr. in the early 1780s. There he provided the measurements for John Cary's early publication detailing the roads from London to Falmouth, his first signed work. Arrowsmith set up on his own in 1790 and over the next thirty years produced some of the most beautiful and elegant maps of the era. "This highly detailed wall map of Asia is probably one of the most accurate maps of the continent before the completion of the Ordnance Survey maps of 1820" (Sweet). - Slightly soiled and browned, but well preserved. Not in Al Ankary or Al-Qasimi. Cf. Sweet 238 (1811 edition only).

[Zurich New Year's Engravings].MareMagnum

[Sammlung der Neujahrs-Kupfer der Gesellschaft der Constabler und Feuerwerker in Zürich]. [Zurich, 1689-1798].

Oblong folio (345 x 283 mm.). 109 engraved plates (some folding). Later mottled calf. Extremely rare, complete series of the New Year's engravings issued by the "Society of Constables and Fireworkers of Zurich". A single comparable set is known in libraries and special collections (Berne University Library). "Durch die von 1689 bis 1798 fortgesetzte Herausgabe von Neujahrsblättern, welche eine belehrende Reihe bildlicher Darstellungen über das Artilleriefach, begleitet von zweckmäßigen Erläuterungen, enthalten, beurkundete die Gesellschaft der Constaffler und Feuerwerker in Zürich eine fruchtbringende Theilnahme an der militärisch-wissenschaftlichen Erziehung der Jugend; seit 1806 setzt dieser Verein auf ähnliche Weise seine anerkennenswerthen Bemühungen fort, obschon die äußern Merkmale einer militärischen Genossenschaft nicht mehr vorhanden sind" (Leemann, Abriss der Militär-Statistik der Schweiz [1839], p. 249). Other Zurich military societies issued similar series for the New Year. The splendid engravings show artillery, drill, maneuvers, fortification, guns, ordnance, and powder-making; engravers include Johann Balthasar Bullinger, Johannes Meyer, Johann Melchior Füssli, David Herrliberger, Johannes Lochman, David Scheuchzer, A. G. Schübler, Johann Heinrich Lips, D. Böyel, and Schellenberg. The 1751 plate ("Einleitung zur Artillerie-Wissenschafft") doubles as a half-title. - Traces of old folds to a few plates, occasionally somewhat stained in the margins or remargined altogether; one (for 1788) trimmed to the plate edge and rebacked. A fine, complete set from the collection of Thomas Fremantle, 3rd Baron Cottesloe (1862-1956), commander of the Territorial Army and president of the Society for Army History Research. Spaulding/Karpinski 198. Lipperheide Qf 1 (only 89 plates: wants 1776-77 and 1780ff.)
