17713835<p>Three engravings by Paul Revere are certainly the most distinctive feature of this Boston almanac for 1772 namely:</p><p>Miss Emma Leach a dwarf born in Beverley Massachusetts on front cover.</p><p>The Patriotic American Farmer John Dickinson.</p><p>Mrs. Catharine M'Caulay.</p><p>Almanac making in colonial America was a rather unscrupulous affair at times. The notion of copyright was unknown among publishers. Indeed almanac piracy or perhaps liberal borrowing was the accepted industry practice.</p><p>The present almanac offers an excellent example of heavy borrowing. The Boston Ames <em>Almanack </em>for 1772 was published in two versions: one by Ezekiel Russell and the other a pirated version by an unnamed printer/publisher. The text and images of the two are very similar although the cuts of the three subjects differ very slightly between the two almanacs. Paul Revere's daybook for December 1771 identifies <strong>two</strong> purchasers of plates for a 1772 Ames almanac Ezekiel Russell and Edes & Gill. Within a matter of a week it's apparent that Revere produced two sets of plates of the same subjects for competing almanacs.</p><p>In an advertisement for Russell's version of the Ames almanac he "hopes that the publick with their usual impartiality will give him preference in buying of his Ames' genuine almanac before any pirated edition." Revere's contributions were in both the original and this pirated edition of the almanac.</p><p><strong>References: </strong> Evans: 11961; Drake <em>Almanacs of the U.S</em>.: 3205; Brigham <em>Paul Revere's Engravings</em>: pp. 202-203; Hamilton <em>Early American Book Illustrators and Wood Engravers</em>: 56; O'Neal <em>Early American Almanacs</em>: 115 mistakenly citing Russell as publisher.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Disbound; leaves are separated with a later paper reinforcement in the gutter of two leaves.

1800ABC_49334Antwerp 1800. 16mo ca. 13 x 9.5 cm. Johannes Carolus Craen or his son-in-law Hendrik Leys Early 19th-century gold-tooled red sheepskin with a general title in Dutch lettered in gold on the spine gold-tooled board edges marbled endpapers gilt edges. 351 devotional engravings including 8 repeats printed on wove paper engraved by several 17th-century engravers printed from the original copper plates at the end of the 18th- or beginning of the 19th century. 351 ll. Intriguing and extensive collection of 351 devotional prints comprising ca. 16 print series and several separate engraved title pages of print series and some separate devotional prints. Each print shows a small engraving depicting a religious theme for almost every occasion and especially for the important days of the liturgical year. These prints were engraved and published in Antwerp which is considered to be the centre of production and publishing of devotional prints in the 17th- and 18th centuries. The majority of these praying cards were originally published by Franciscus Huberti or Frans Huybrechts 1630-1687 who seems to have been the first engraver and publisher to produce these types of works in Antwerp. He was mostly known for publishing so-called "gerijmde gebedsprentjes" rhymed devotional prints/prayer cards. After his death his plates were sold and used by others to republish the prints for example by Michiel Bunel 1670-1739 and later by Carolus Craen 1733-1799. Craen's plates were next used by Hendrik Leys d. 1853 not to be confused with the Antwerp painter Henri Leys. In 1805 Leys had married Craen's daughter and took over the publishing and printing business of his mother-in-law immediately after. He mostly continued publishing prints using older copperplates that were already part of the business since his father-in-law ran it and was one of the last printer-publishers to use copperplates in a time when lithography became more and more popular. At the end of his life Leys owned approximately 12000 usable copperplates made or sold by a whole host of 17th- and 18th-century engravers and/or publishers of devotional prints such as the Wierix-Barbé family Huberti Galle Van der Sande Bunel and the Van Merlen family. Cornelis van Merlen 1654-1723 was a publisher and engraver active in Antwerp. The Van Merlen family were important engravers and publishers of devotional engravings in Antwerp during the 17th- and 18th centuries. In 1687 he married Sara Maria Huybrechts who was the daughter of publisher and engraver Gaspar Huberti and Sara Voet and niece of the Antwerp engraver Franciscus Huberti 1630-1687 whose engravings make up the majority of the present work. The majority of the present work is most likely made up of Craen's or Leys' prints of the plates by Huberti Jacobus de Man Anton Wierix the Van Merlen family of engravers and others.A complete list of contents is available upon request.With a manuscript owner's inscription on the verso of the first flyleaf "Mimi Josephine Cogels 1822" a manuscript inscription on the recto of the second flyleaf "le 1er Avril 1822 1831" and some faint pencil annotations on the verso of the second to last flyleaf and the recto of the final flyleaf. The binding shows some slight rubbing the front joint is slightly weakened without any loss lacking the fore edge margin of the engraving of S. Gregorius no. 351 not affecting the engraving possibly lacking the 352nd engraving only a stub of paper remains possibly lacking the engraving of S. Ioannes Neponucenus by C. van Merlen a few leaves show minor marginal tears not affecting the engravings and with a brown stain on the final two flyleaves.

1790ST19326Amsterdam: H. Keyzer H. Gartman en W. Vermandel 1790. 555 x 345 mm. 21 7/8 x 13 3/4". 2 p.l. 62 folding plates. <br/> Attractive late 19th or early 20th century retrospective polished brown calf by L. Guétant stamp-signed in gilt on tail of spine double gilt-ruled border floral cornerpieces raised bands spine panels with scrolling floral borders and central flower ornament gilt titling. With title vignette and 62 ENGRAVED FOLDING PLATES ALL WITH BEAUTIFUL HAND COLORING AND HIGHLIGHTED WITH GOLD depicting Bible scenes from the Old and New Testament 61 of which are by Jan Luyken. A Large Paper Copy. For earlier editions: Graesse IV p. 308; Brunet III 1245-46; Klaversma & Hannema 159-164. 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.<br/> <br/> 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.
