17502420Augsburg: Johann Jacob Haid & son 1750. Six tall narrow folio-sized engravings with etching platemarks 400 x 207 mm. sheets 435 x 277 mm. deckle edges numbered 1-6 in the plate at lower right imprint at lower right I. Haid et filius excudit A. V. Augustae Vindelicorum. Upper edges archivally tipped to mats. Fine. Rare suite of six rococo engravings reproducing Watteau's designs for a folding screen. This apparently unrecorded issue bearing the imprint of the Augsburg print-publisher Johan Jakob Haid and his son Johann Elias Haid is a re-issue of the plates which first appeared in 1729 with the signature of Jacob Wangner and the imprint of the heirs of Jeremias Wolff. OCLC locates a single copy of the Wolff issue at the Bibliothèque nationale de France photographs of the engravings are reproduced in the BnF online catalogue which misspells the artist's name as "Wagner". Wangner's engravings were based on the almost equally rare suite of six plates after Watteau commissioned by Jean Julienne and engraved by Crépy fils Louis Crépy in 1728. For the present issue the engraver's signatures barely visible in the BnF images were removed. The title appears at the foot of the first plate. Each engraving presents a central figure or scene set within a frame of delicate rococo allegorical and ornamental design. Three show the Comédie italienne figures of Pierrot/Gilles Harlequin and Columbina a woman playing the lute on a rug-bedecked stage a pair of allegorical figures flanking an awning above and at bottom the smiling visage of a Commedia dell'Arte character of the opposite sex. The remaining pastoral scenes of courtship or douceur de vie are set within naturalistic elements two with streams flowing over a dripping shell-shaped basin or ledge under which a ghostly face can be dimly discerned. Two painted screens based on these designs were sold at Sotheby's London on Feb. 12 2008 and again on 28 Oct. 2010 with the addition of a third painting from the series. I locate no other copies of the issue with the Haid imprint. On the Wolff issue cf. W. Augustyn "Augsburger Buchillustration im 18. Jahrhundert" in Augsburger Buchdruck und Verlagswesen 1997 p. 820 citing E. Isphording Gottfried Bernhard Göz 1708-1774 1997 pp. 35 ff. On the Crépy engravings cf.

1850587New Hampshire 1850. 75 x 160 mm. 3 x 6 ¼ inches. Pencil sketch on blue paper.  Includes small envelope 3 x 4 ½ inches with notation. Previous folds. Light browning at folds. Small pencil sketch of a girl in a bonnet and a man who appears to be an itinerant with patched clothes and a liquor bottle in his hand. A note on the envelope accompanying the sketch and entitled in faint pencil "N.H. Portrait Painter" is signed by E.S. Eaton who writes:  "Enclosed is a drawing made by Mr. J. Bailey Moore upon a stray slip of paper as he sat making a call at our home. I a little girl was greatly pleased and have kept and been pleased with it ever since. I remember that my dear Mother was amused at the two funny figures. E.S. Eaton". Jacob Bailey Moore was born in Candia New Hampshire in 1815 and died there in 1893. For a brief time he worked in Boston before returning to New Hampshire. During his career he spent brief stints as a journalist and as a phrenologist as well as an itinerant artist. Moore is closely identified as a member of the "Prior-Hamblen" group of early 19th portrait artists. This group's work closely follows that of William Matthew Prior 1806 -73 and Sturtevant J. Hamblen 1837-56. Their portraits have been characterized as "very flat posterlike" and were painted in oils or gouache on a variety of backings including cardboard academy board or canvas. Numerous works signed by Prior have been identified as have a few signed by Hamblen. Signed works by other members of the "Prior-Hamblen" group are quite rare. Those known to have been painted by Jacob Bailey Moore feature a flat style almost identical to that of Prior. The writer may be Ellen S. Eaton who lived in Candia on a farm with her parents Henry M. and Eliza Parker Eaton. She was born in 1846 became a school teacher and appears to have never married. Ellen's father Henry M. Eaton was selectman a number of years town clerk a representative to the state legislature two years and also town agent. He was also Captain of Candia Light Infantry. He was married a second time to Hannah G. Lane who died in 1892.  Appleton. Cyclopedia of American Biography IV pp. 380-1. Allibone's Critical Dictionary of English Literature and English and American Authors. II p. 1352. J.

1741WRCAM37910Philadelphia: Printed and Sold by Andrew Bradford 1741. 32pp. 12mo. Printed self-wrappers stitched. Contemporary ink inscription "Jacob Taylor" in upper margin of titlepage; contemporary ink correction on p.27. Cellophane tape joining signature at spine occasional minor foxing. Else bright clean and very good. In a half morocco and cloth box. An almanac by Jacob Taylor who published his important Pennsylvania almanac for the years 1700 to 1746. It is a distinct possibility that the present copy was owned and signed by Taylor as his inscribed name on the titlepage is accompanied later in the volume by a manuscript correction to a poem "manumated" becomes "manumitted". Taylor took the poetry in his almanacs seriously printing excerpts of PARADISE LOST in 1741 and composing well-received verse of his own. In addition to the calendar this 1746 almanac contains a substantial amount of poetry; lists of courts fairs and Quaker meetings; and a discussion of Hannibal's oath before the gods. This he concludes with a quote from the 1739 almanac of "R. Saunders" Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard on the dangers of false wit and pride in the present age commenting favorably on Saunders "By wicked Wit the Truth is often drown'd; Here certain Truth adorn'd with Wit is found" p.23. <br> <br> Taylor's almanac was printed by different Philadelphia printers over time. Some were printed by Franklin but this one was issued by Andrew Bradford one of Franklin's rivals and the son of William Bradford the first printer in Philadelphia. DRAKE 9634. EVANS 4818.
