Mandelslo was authorized to leave the embassy in Persia and to continue his travels to the Far East. He went to Surat Agra and Goa in India where he received great kindness from the English merchants and he also visited Ceylon. He gives long accounts of the other parts of the Far East which he did not visit personally. His return was made to England by sea via the Cape of Good Hope which he visited in 1639" Hill. Mandelslo's narrative contains substantial information on the Far East.

A new edition in French translated by Wicquefort included still more additional material including an account of the travels of Henri de Feynes to China Formosa and Japan.

16853659Paris: distribuë par l'Auteur en l'Hostel des Manufactures des Gobelins et en la rue St.Jacques 1685. Copper engraving on two joined sheets by A.F. Baudouin with the figures by R. Bonnart after Van der Meulen. Titled in French and Latin. A fine view of the fortified town of Calais and its environs recalling king Louis XIV's gradual acquisition of territory on the Channel coast from 1667 onwards.<br/> <br/>This excellent panorama shows Calais as seen from the landward side looking across to the ramparts of the fortifications surrounding the town to the roofs of the town itself and then beyond to the sea. In the fore and mid-ground the French army of King Louis XIV moves forward towards the town this scene enlivened by Van der Meulen's portrayal of the stormy conditions: hats blow off cloaks are wrapped around peoples' heads foot soldiers lean into the wind. This sort of detail supports the statement in the imprint that the present scene was painted from life by Van der Meulen. Adam Frans Van der Meulen was a landscape and genre painter who specialized in battle scenes and his early works i.e. those from the years before he left for Paris the earliest dated work is from 1653 are mainly cavalry skirmishes in the manner of his teacher Pieter Snayer. After he moved to Paris the character of his work changed and became more ceremonial. He now specialized in large topographical views and military scenes and in royal journeys processions and receptions. His most important task was to accompany the king on his many campaigns during the wars of conquest waged in the 1660s and 1670s against inter alia the Spanish Netherlands and as Peintre de conquêtes du roi officially to portray the memorable sieges battles and conquests of le Roi Soleil in large-scale canvases or cartoons which were later transformed into tapestries. Van der Meulen was born in Brussels where he was baptised in 1632. In 1646 he was apprenticed to the battle painter Pieter Snayers. In 1651 he became a master in the Guild of St Luke in Brussels but by 1663 he had moved to Paris where he joined a group of Netherlandish artists associated with the French painter Charles Le Brun 1619-90 who not only was Premier peintre du roi but also from 1663 director of the Parisian tapestry manufactory Manufacture royale des Gobelins. Van der Meulen quickly became a protégé of Le Brun and on his recommendation Van der Meulen was appointed court painter to Louis XIV on 1 April 1664 and at the same time became Le Brun's collaborator in the tapestry manufactory. In 1673 he was accepted as a member of the Académie royale de Peinture et de Sculpture without any obligation to submit a morceau de réception; in 1681 he became conseiller and in 1686 premier conseiller. He died as a highly esteemed artist in the Hôtel des Gobelins 15 October 1690. distribuë par l'Auteur, en l'Hostel des Manufactures des Gobelins, et en la rue St.Jacques unknown books
168516903Paris: distribuë par l'Auteur en l'Hostel des Manufactures des Gobelins et en la rue St.Jacques 1685. Copper engraving on two joined sheets after Van der Meulen. Titled in French and Latin. In excellent condition. Some infill work along the bottom margin. Image size: 18 1/2 x 38 5/8 inches. A striking contemporary view of Gray in Franche-Comte by the celebrated court painter Van der Meulen.<br/> <br/>This fine view shows the town of Gray in Franche-Comte built on the banks of the Saône River. One of the most important trading towns in Franche-Comte the region became a possession of the Spanish Hapsburgs in 1556. Although some of the region's fortified towns were occupied by France during the Wars of Religion peace and prosperity continued until the advent of the Thirty Years War when the region was ravaged by both Catholics and Protestants. Louis XIV conquered Franche-Comté in 1668 and again in 1674 and finally obtained its cession from Spain. Van der Meulen's striking image depicts the king and his armies entering the town after they successfully re-conquered the region. Adam Frans Van der Meulen was a landscape and genre painter who specialized in battle scenes and his early works i.e. those from the years before he left for Paris the earliest dated work is from 1653 are mainly cavalry skirmishes in the manner of his teacher Pieter Snayer.

177517574London 1775. Engraving by P. Begbie. In excellent condition with the exception of being trimmed just outside the platemark on the left margin. An elegant engraving depicting various furnishings designed by Robert and James Adam including decorative clocks an ornamental knocker and two elaborate hanging lights.<br/> <br/>Robert and his brother James Adam forever changed the face of British architecture by introducing innovative Classical design ideas. From 1754-57 Robert lived in Italy where he had a long productive friendship with Piranesi which was inspirational for both men. Adam's first book on Diocletian's palace in Dalmatia is clearly very like the archaeological investigations Piranesi was making at the same time of similar ruins. Piranesi's friendship and passion for Roman Classicism were seminal influences on Adam and the greatest single factor other than his own talent in the work Adam produced on his return to England. Upon his return the brothers launched their career by building the Adelphi from the Thames to the Strand in London which although not a commercial success at the time included one of London's most cherished buildings the Adlephi Theatre. Together the Adam brothers designed and built some of the most famous buildings in England including such bastions of English architecture as Kenwood House Keddlestone Manor and Syon House. To the interiors of their English country houses the Adams brought wonderful ornamental elements in niches lunettes festoons and reliefs. Their classically designed buildings were so numerous in London that they changed the prevailing feel of the city and established their brand of neo-Classicism as the model of elegance and importance. It is asserted that the brothers originated the concept of the uniform facade attached to the typical English row house an architectural device that distinguishes London buildings. This monumental contribution is evidenced in the Adams' designs for Portland Place and Fitzroy Square and these were used as architectural models for the whole city. The brothers brought their talents into other areas by designing furniture to complement their beautiful interiors and by creating and publishing a treatise of design entitled 'Works in Architecture'. The work was published in three volumes over an extended span of time beginning in 1773 with the final volume being published posthumously in 1822.<br/> <br/>Cf. Brunet I.47; cf.
