173016449Augsburg: Published by Johann Jakob Haid 1730. Mezzotint. Printed on laid paper. In good condition with the exception of some foxing across the margins. Small paper loss in upper left corner of sheet. Image size: 12 1/2 x 7 5/8 inches. A striking scientific portrait of Albrecht von Haller from Johann Jakob Haid's celebrated series of mezzotint portraits.<br/> <br/> Johan Jakob Haid came from a German family of artists and printmakers. Haid worked initially with the animal painter Johann Elias Ridinger but he soon went on to found a well-known publishing house in Augsburg. He became known primarily for his celebrated series of large mezzotint portraits of illustrious individuals. This attractive portrait of Albertus Haller is a wonderful example of Haid's noted series. As in this fine image all of Haid's portraits are highly decorative; the sitter is always surrounded by a decorative frame and the image rests on an ornate descriptive plaque. This is a lovely impression and a fine example of Haid's accomplished series. As in many scientific portraits Haller is shown holding a book symbolizing his important work as a writer. Albrecht von Haller 1708-1777 was a celebrated Swiss anatomist and physiologist. After pursuing an education in medicine and mathematics Haller devoted himself to the study of botany. He began a collection of plants which formed the basis of his great work on the flora of Switzerland. In 1729 he returned to Bern and began to practice as a physician and was soon appointed the chair of medicine at the University of Gottingen. Commonly called "the Great" Haller was an illustrious scholar and prolific writer. His academic interests included poetry botany biography and medicine and he produced a huge quantity of texts devoted to these diverse subjects. He is best remembered for his twenty volumes of biographies on anatomy botany surgery and medicine and for his revolutionary contributions to the field of physiology. He proved the concept of tissue "irritability" and distinguished between nerve impulse and muscular contraction.<br/> <br/> Benezit Dictionnaire des Peintres Sculpteurs Dessinateurs et Graveurs.

He published a description of the Marlborough collection of antique gems in 1783.<BR> <BR> Bryant's name is chiefly associated with the present work the first two volumes of which first appeared in 1774.

1775919London: T. Payne 1775. Second Edition. Fine Leather Large Quarto 11.75"x10" Bindings Bound by A.B. Buck. Near Fine. A New System or An Analysis of Ancient Mythology by Jacob Bryant – 3 Volume Set Second Edition 1775<br /> Author: Jacob Bryant<br /> Publisher: London: Printed for T. Payne P. Elmsly B. White and J. Walter<br /> Publication Date: 1775 MDCCLXXV<br /> Edition: Second Edition<br /> Format: 3 Volumes Quarto 11.75"x10".<br /> Description:<br /> Presenting a striking and complete three-volume set of Jacob Bryant’s magnum opus A New System or An Analysis of Ancient Mythology. In this highly influential 18th-century work Bryant attempted to trace the mythologies and traditions of ancient civilizations—including the Greeks Romans Egyptians and Babylonians—back to a common origin heavily linking them to the events of Genesis and the dispersal of nations following the Tower of Babel.<br /> This set is profusely illustrated with 32 striking copperplate engravings including detailed folding maps ancient coins architectural ruins and intricate depictions of mythological figures and symbols such as serpents and temple rites. Notably the renowned artist and poet William Blake was an apprentice to James Basire the principal engraver for this work and scholars frequently attribute several of the engravings in this edition to a young Blake.<br /> The set is masterfully bound in pristine full tan leather. The spines feature classic raised bands with contrasting dual black morocco labels elegantly tooled with gilt lettering indicating the title "BRYANT'S MYTHOLOGY" and volume numbers. The text blocks are solid and the pages remain wonderfully crisp pages with some light sporadic foxing pages overall are bright and clean showcasing the impressive typography and detailed plates that make this work so desirable.<br /> The immaculate condition of the binding makes this a stunning presentation piece perfect for an advanced collector of mythology early anthropology or 18th-century antiquarian works.

1775032819<p>London: T Payne; P Elmsly; B White; and J Walter 1775 A very good 3 volume set with 29 plates some text engravings and 3 maps as called for in contemporary full calf bindings. Jacob Bryant 1715-1804 is chiefly known for this work which attempts to link the mythologies of the world to stories and events in the book of Genesis. It was seen as an important publication and is credited with influencing the work of William Blake. Blake was apprenticed to the engraver James Basire whose name appears at the bottom of most of the plates and is believed to have worked on them. The bindings are in very good clean condition and have been rebacked at some point retaining the original spines with gilt decorative compartments and red title labels. The boards are in very good condition with some corner wear. The marbled endpapers look to be contemporary with repair at the joints. There is the armorial bookplate of William Orme Foster 1814-1899 to the front pastedowns. He was an iron and coal-master owning the firm of John Bradley and Co and was MP for South Staffordshire 1857-68. All 3 volumes have page markers and all page edges have been yellowed. Volumes I & II are 2nd edition; Vol III is a 1st. Vol I: half title; title; preface pp v-xvii; blank; plate list p xix; text 1-516 with 10 'plates' of which the final is un-numbered and inserted at the end of the text. Vol II: half title; title; plate list pp iii-vi; text pp 1-535 with 19 plates one by Cipriani and one by Chambars - the final plate un-numbered and at the end of the text. Vol III: half title; title 1776; preface pp v-viii; text pp 1-601 with 3 maps 2 of which are folding and one of which is credited to Basire. There is a final engraving before the Finis. Contents are in very good condition. The occasional page is toned and there is very occasional spotting mostly on the final blanks. There is offsetting from the plates only one of which is tissue-guarded. The offsetting affects pages before and after the plate. There are a couple of ink amendments to mistypes in Vol III. The rear bottom corner of Vol II is quite fragile as are the front corners of Vol III.</p> T Payne; P Elmsly; B White; and J Walter hardcover
