Thick 8vo 160 x 105 mm. late 18th-cent. marbled boards extremities a little rubbed & worn. Dresden: C. G. Nitzsche 1765. An important German edition of Bosse's Traité des manières de graver en Taille douce 1st ed. in French: 1645 considerably augmented for the German audience. This work was translated and published by Carl Gottlieb Nitzsche from the 1745 Cochin edition. The Cochin edition was the first to promote etching with hard etching-ground vernis dur instead of the soft etching-ground vernis mol to imitate line engraving. It also featured long sections on Le Blon's color printing and the refining of mezzotint illustration. In the present book we find four illustrations of the rolling press which Cochin had updated to account for several design upgrades. There are also several diagrams and cross-sections of printing presses. This book is richly illustrated with plates and vignettes executed by Carl Gottfried Nestler 1730-80 that depict various techniques equipment and the interiors of print shops. Nestler reworked the engraved title-page from the 1645 first edition for this book's frontispiece. A very good copy internally fresh. Unidentified engraved bookplates with the initials "G. F." on front and rear paste-downs. ❧ Benezit Dictionary of Artists Vol. 10 p. 258 Nestler. hardcover books

16791669291679. BLOEMAERT Abraham and Frederik. Artis Apellae Liber Tekenboek van Abraham Bloemaart / The Drawing Book of Abraham Bloemaert. Complete set of 160 engravings in eight parts including the chiaroscuro woodcut title-page. Folio 326 x 238 mm bound in contemporary Dutch brown calf blind-tooled spine. Amsterdam: Nicholaes Visscher 1679-1702. First Edition of Abraham Bloemaert's Drawing Book Tekenboek illustrated with engravings by Frederik Bloemaert ca. 1610-1669 after his father's designs. Abraham Bloemaert's original life drawings which were executed mainly between 1625-1635 and 1645-1650 include multiple studies of hands feet arms legs male and female profiles nudes putti and costumed figures seen in various poses from varied angles and under various lighting conditions plus a number of domestic animals. Abraham Bloemaert intended his drawings later converted by his son into engravings to serve as a teaching collection of visual models for practicing artists. The publishing history is as follows: a variant edition containing between 100 and 120 engraved plates was issued by Bloemaert's son Frederik between 1650 and 1656 under the title: Artis Apellae Liber. The 1650-56 edition is so rare it is unobtainable today. It is recorded in only three copies: British Museum 120 plates Bibliothèque Nationale de France 100 plates and Los Angeles County Museum of Art 120 plates. The extreme rarity of all early editions of Bloemaert's Tekenboek reflects the fact that a very limited number were originally printed and that the early printings did not survive the heavy use received by artists and the assistants in the artist's studio. The present copy belongs to the true First Edition Roethlisberger 1a 393 Visscher edition complete with 160 engraved plates plus the chiaroscuro woodcut title all in very good impressions. It is significant that Roethlisberger in his massive catalogue raisonné of the work of Abraham Bloemaert and His Sons Doornspijk 1993 reproduces the entire set of engravings from the 1740 edition. Abraham Bloemaert 1564-1651 was successful as a teacher not only of his four sons but also of the leading Dutch Caravaggisti e.g. Terbrugghen and Honthorst and virtually every Utrecht master painter/artist. Besides Hendrik Goltzius Abraham Bloemaert and his son Frederik were among the earliest to combine the chiaroscuro woodblock technique with the engraved and etched line Hind.

Good.<br/><br/> One of six contemporary printings this is the only one which does not begin with the phrase 'Connecticut Republicanism.' Bishop was a Jeffersonian and outspoken anti- Federalist which made him an unusual figure in Connecticut politics. "Learning that he would give this Republican campaign speech as the Phi Beta Kappa orator the Yale Corporation withdrew Bishop's invitation. Speaking to 1500 people at a local meeting-house Bishop in rousing rhetoric denounced the state and national Federalist party for its leadership social assumptions and class prejudices. He argued that the Federalists were deluding the people in order to enslave them under a monarchy and castigated the union of church and state in Connecticut charging the clergy with preaching Federalist propaganda. The two-hour harangue ended with a call for the election of Republicans to preserve the liberty so dearly and recently won." Sheidley. <br/>Evans 36980. Felcone 18. Sheidley 132.
