18896249Paris 1889. 11 Ω x 9 9nches. Circa 1889 Day became intrigued with the French author Balzac and during a trip to Paris painted three watercolors while he was researching Balzac and making connections with other artists and authors. As well he photographed these houses and some of those original prints still turn up on the market. This is a wonderful watercolor painting of a house which probably captured his eye based on its whimsical architecture as well as the placard affixed to the front which reads “Defense D’Afficher†a phrase coined in the 1700’s which basically means “do not post any advertisements here.†A wonderful watercolor executed by F. Holland Day an avid publisher book collector and photographer F. Holland Day was a dedicated aesthete and well-known figure in turn-of-the-century Boston. He was one of the earliest advocates of Pictorial photography in America and like Alfred Stieglitz with whom he corresponded until they had a serious disagreement around 1902 he tirelessly wrote articles mounted exhibitions and encouraged like-minded photographers who supported the medium’s artistic potential. Fine condition. Matted in a glass frame with a smaller window which hides the bottom inch or so unpainted area. A rare and historically significant watercolor painting by this polyglot of photography book publishing and art. unknown

He fled his hometown of Alkmaar in fear he would be captured by the Court of Holland. Initially the Van der Mieden family was a wealthy noble family with a good reputation. Jacob's father Aris was mayor of the city of Alkmaar Jacob was appointed bailiff of Nieuwburgen in 1731. Here one of his judicial officers ran a reign of terror. The people felt that bailiff Jacob was protecting his officer which made him very unpopular. Jacob was also lord of Callantsoog where he imprisoned the former bailiff Jan Harge in 1740 after Harge was being accused of abuse of office. The problem was that he did so under such bad conditions that the wife of Harge complained to the Court of Holland after which Harge was exonorated and the Court of Holland turned to Van der Mierde. Out of fear of being put behind bars he fled to Lent near Nijmegen. His wife Susanna Doubleth appealed the court and advocated that her husband would be tried by the local court in Alkmaar instead of the Court of Holland. These request are added in this collection. The last ordinance in the collection is the conviction of his younger brother Adriaan counselor of the Court of Holland who was accused of co-writing the requests with Susanna which were quite libel and defamatory undermining the Court of Holland as the highest judiciary institution of Holland. Adriaan was suspended from the court in 1747. The fate of Jacob van der Mieden remains unclear.With a manuscript annotation on the title page signed by G.J. van Persijn 1791.

In-4, plein vélin rigide de l'époque, dos titré à la plume, (16), 364, (14) p. Edition princeps de la célèbre autobiographie testamentaire d'Uriel da Costa ('Exemplar humanae vitae'), composée à la veille de son suicide en 1640 et publiée "presque par hasard" (Daniel Lacerda) quarante-sept années après sa mort. Elle est insérée entre les pages 341 et 354 d'un recueil qu'un ministre calviniste arminien, Philip Van Limborch professeur à Amsterdam (1633-1712), consacre à la défense de la "vérité de la religion chrétienne", en discussion avec un Juif érudit, Isaac Orobio de Castro (c.1617-1687), lui-même réfugié du Portugal à Amsterdam. Éditée d'après un manuscrit et peut-être révisée, "Une vie humaine" est suivie de sa réfutation par Limborch. Né au sein d'une famille portugaise marrane, Uriel Da Costa (1585-1640) s'installa à Amsterdam en 1617 et revint au judaïsme, mais il entra bientôt en conflit avec la synagogue. Soumis à une humiliante pénitence publique, il se suicida. Ce document demeurait l'unique seule source d'informations sur Uriel da Costa jusqu'à la découverture récente (1990), à la bibliothèque d'Amsterdam, d'un exemplaire unique d'un autre de ses textes que l'on croyait perdu ("Exame das tradições fariseas") et qui le place aux côtés de Spinoza, dix années avant la condamnation de celui-ci, parmi les victimes du durcissement doctrinaire des autorités juives d'Amsterdam. "Cette autobiographie écrite par Uriel da Costa en 1640 avant de se suicider, reflète toute la culture et toutes les interrogations religieuses de cet esprit qui passa du christianisme-marranisme au judaïsme puis au sadducéisme, enfin au déisme vénérant la Nature. Juif portugais d'Amsterdam, Gabriel, devenu Uriel da Costa, reflète - lui et toute sa famille, affiliée à celle de Spinoza - les recherches de cette société des nouveaux convertis du Portugal et des pays occidentaux au XVII° siècle" (Béatrice Leroy). Cf. I.S. Revah, H. Méchoulan et coll., 'Des Marranes à Spinoza', Vrin, 1995, passim. (Bamberger, 'The printed literature of Spinozism', n° 67. Fürst, 'Bibliotheca judaica', I, p. 17). Quelques rousseurs éparses. Petite trace de restauration de vélin au dos. Très bon exemplaire, très bien conservé dans sa première reliure hollandaise de vélin rigide.

991291908. Size of image 6 x 4 inches 15.5 x 10.5 cm The sepia picture which shows Hardy seated in the drawing room of his home. Although there are many photographs of Hardy in circulation there was only a small series of photographs taken by Clive Holland a journalist who interviewed Hardy in 1904 The back of the picture is titled and signed 'Thomas Hardy by Clive Holland November 1908'. The date relates to the printed date of the photograph as there was a delay between Holland's interviews and their publication four years later. Duke's valuer Amy Brenan says: "An American-based Hardy expert has suggested that the writing on the back of the photograph is that of Clive Holland and he believes this photograph is one of a number that were printed and kept for Holland's own records as the official photographs that were released were of a larger size." Two similar photographs of the same size both taken at Max Gate during the same sitting can be found in the National Portrait Gallery. These examples were given to the Gallery directly from A photo of Thomas Hardy taken in his home in 1904. Clive Holland's personal collection after his death so it is probable that the Duke's photo was in Holland's possession at one time. Amy Brenan continues: "There has also been some speculation that the handwriting compares closely to that of Emma Thomas Hardy's first wife but of course we cannot prove this even though there are marked similarities. "Either way the photograph which is in crisp condition would be an asset to any Hardy enthusiast's collection In very good condition. 1908 unknown

Holland Day. W. Goodrich Beal Edmonton Aug 94.†FHD was an enthusiastic collector of John Keats and led the campaign which resulted in the first memorial to Keats being placed n Hampstead Church in 1894. William Goodrich Beal 1855-1919 painter and etcher was active in the Boston area during the late 19th century exhibiting at the Chicago Art Institute and elsewhere. His etchings and paintings are in major collections including the National Gallery of Art in London. A fantastic grouping of drawings commissioned by Day to extra-illustrate a book on Keats in his private library. However to my knowledge the project never came to fruition as the Keats drawings remained unused. #1 with very tiny corner loss some slight toning all very good or better. A scarce grouping which provides a tangible historical record of FHD’s passion with Keats. unknown
