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.

1689LTH1-E-10Cologne: Pierre Marteau 1689. Leather. Good Only. 9.5" by 7.5". None. A scarce and early collection of works discussing political issues surrounding restoration France and King Louis XIV. Written in French Written while the author was imprisoned the collection contains both parts one and two of L'Ambassadeur et ses Fonctions Reflaxions sur Les Memoires Pour Les Ambassadeurs et Rosponse Au Ministre Prisonnier and Discours Historique de L'election de L'Empereur et des Electeurs de L'Empire. Featuring illuminated capitals. Wicqufort was an intelligencer gazetteer and a diplomat of the second order who is remembered more for what he wrote than for his other accomplishments. Born in Holland Wicquefort nevertheless spent most of his diplomatic career in Paris. Here he served as resident of the Elector of Brandenburg-Prussia from 1626 until 1658 when having fallen foul of Mazarin he was first briefly imprisoned in the Bastille and then expelled. Invited to The Hague by John de Witt the Grand Pensionary of Holland Wicquefort was employed as a translator for the States General but chiefly as the Grand Pensionary's special secretary for French correspondence. In 1675 Wicquefort who had in the previous year also secured the appointment of resident in Holland of the Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg-Celle was accused by his enemies of selling state secrets. He was tried by the Court of Holland and despite his plea of diplomatic immunity imprisoned for life on the grounds that he remained a Dutch national in the paid service of its government to which he had taken an oath of secrecy. Sent like Grotius before him to the prison of Loevestein though he escaped to Celle in 1679 he devoted his time to furious writing. First published in the year before he died and subsequently reissued many times this became the most highly regarded manual of diplomacy of the eighteenth century. Disbound although with original rear board and backstrip. Generally firmly bound to the text block edge although with title page absent and the last few leaves detached yet present. Generally bright and clean although with the first page slightly age toned and with the odd spot throughout. Good Only Pierre Marteau hardcover
167734844à Paris: Chez Frédéric Léonard 1677. Fine. Chez Frédéric Léonard à Paris 1677 7.50 x 13.80 cm relié Edition with some parts in first edition rare much preferable to the 1676 original which contains only the first part; this one is therefore considerably expanded with major pieces. A frontispiece representing Saint Mark's Square in Venice. The 1677 edition contains 3 titles for each part plus an added title summarizing the whole; one will easily notice that these three parts are very rarely found together in libraries see Oxford Leeds. and that they most often appear separately. There were undoubtedly several editions at this date of 1677 of which only this one contains the three parts. Moreover this edition with the sphere would suggest that it was printed elsewhere; the third part bears Ratisbon as place of edition and Jean Aubry as publisher. This part contains the Harangue of Louis Helian Ambassador of France under Louis XII. Contemporary full glazed brown calf binding. Spine with raised bands unlettered decorated with blind roulettes on the headcaps and raised bands. Blind fillets on the boards. Good copy. More than a history of Venice this is a critical study of its institutions and laws. The book was very poorly received in Venice where it was burned diplomatic relations with France became embittered Amelot de la Houssaye was embassy secretary in Venice and the king of France was more or less forced to deliver the author to the Bastille for six days to satisfy Venice. The supplement studies and recounts the disputes that the Republic had with Pope Paul V. The third part of the book is a translation of a book by Fra Paolo. The Harangue of Louis Hélian was pronounced in 1510 before Emperor Maximilian it very sharply accuses the republic of Venice of numerous evils. Chez Frédéric Léonard hardcover
