Series of 16 views of Honselaarsdijk.

16833691Amsterdam 1683. Oblong 8vo. Modern half vellum floral chintz paper sides. With 16 numbered engraved views ca. 13 x 16 cm tipped onto blank leaves 17 x 23 cm all hand coloured. 16 ll. with engravings. Extraordinary rare first state of a very fine print series of the Honselaarsdijk palace and gardens at Honselersdijk near Naaldwijk complete with all 16 views. They are all signed numbered and captioned in Dutch and have been coloured by hand. We have not been able to find any other copies of the complete series in the first state.The monumental palace of Honselaarsdijk was built between 1621 and 1647 on the orders of the stadholder Frederik Hendrik 1584-1647 who - together with his wife Amalia van Solms and in the context of their ambition to enhance the position and power of the House of the Dutch stadholder possibly to a Royal status - was involved in a project to build a number of new prestigious castles and manor houses in and around The Hague Huis Ten Bosch Rijswijk and Honselaarsdijk as well in the country Soestdijk Het Loo Dieren etc. He financed the building of Honselaarsdijk mainly with the money coming from the "Silverfleet" captured from the Spaniards by Piet Hein in 1629. A number of important architects were involved with the Honselaarsdijk-project among others the famous Jacob van Campen 1596-1657 and Pieter Post 1608-1669. French garden architects were hired for designing the gardens. King William III further embellished the gardens under the direction of the architect Jacob Roman 1640-1716. As early as 1671 William III was personally involved with the rebuilding of the water supply system at Honselaarsdijk as evidenced by a letter of Christiaan Huygens to his brother Lodewijk. The palace later became known as "Little Versailles". After the death of William III in 1702 the estate was neglected and ultimately demolished in 1815. All that still remains is a part of the garden and parts of the coach-houses.Abraham Blooteling 1640-1690 a pupil of Cornelis Van Dalen II 1636-1664 was a Dutch engraver draughtsman and print seller. His dated prints begin to appear in 1665 and they include portraits biblical mythological and genre subjects as well as six views of Amsterdam after Jacob van Ruisdael and two of the Jewish burial-ground in Ouderkerk 1670 also after van Ruisdael. From 1672-78 he worked in London with Gerard Valck. His major contribution was in the development of the new technique of mezzotint specifically the invention of the rocker the tool used in the technique. In England the technique was adopted with such success that it later became known as the "English Manner". Blooteling was again in Amsterdam by September 1678 when he acted as godfather to his nephew Abraham Valck but he kept up his contacts with London.Between 1681 and 1685 his presence in The Hague is recorded. During these years he engraved a major view of Honselaarsdijk 385 x 482 mm after the design by Abraham Begheyn alias Bega 1637-1697. It is likely that he engraved our 16 views in the same year probably also after the drawings by Abraham Bega. However both the 16 views and the bird's eye view are now exceptionally rare. In fact the present 16 views were until now only known in their second state the reissue by Gerard Valck 1651/2-1726 in his Veues et perspectives de Loo Honslardyck et Soestdyck chasteau & maison de plaisance du Roy de la Grande Bretagne 1695. The views in the second state are numbered differently and lack Blooteling's name.Some of the views have been cut a few millimetres short on the right hand side two of the blank leaves with a crease and two pinprick holes in the bottom margin. Otherwise a fine hand coloured copy.l Hunt & de Jong The Anglo-Dutch garden pp. 136-7; cf. Hollstein II p. 216 no. 117 bird's eye view of Honselaarsdijk by Blooteling after A. Bega dated 1683 & XXI p. 267 nos. 95-16 same print-series by G. Valck dated 1695; Thieme/ Becker IV pp. 139-40; not in Springer. hardcover
