BRAZIL - CARLS, Francisco HenriqueBiblio.com

Album de Pernambuco.

1880108232Pernambuco: F. H. Carls 1880. Brazil following independence captured in superb photorealistic chromolithography A wonderfully preserved copy of this superb visual record of Brazil in the late 19th century. "The colourful and airy rendering contributes much to the appeal of this extensive series of images that forms one of the most comprehensive visual reports carried out on any Brazilian city in the period" Correa do Lago. The album was first issued in 1873 with 50 plates under the title Album de Pernambuco e seus arrabaldes Pernambuco and its Environs. It was later reissued with varying numbers of plates some copies having as few as 15 or 20 the composition rarely the same twice. Carls was a German graphic artist designer and photographer who joined the wave of German immigration to Brazil settling in Recife in 1859 where he established one of the first lithographic presses in Pernambuco. An enterprising and innovative printer he took on a wide range of work bringing the potential of high-quality lithographic printing to advertising material diplomas stock certificates letterheads and also maps being the publisher of José Tibúrcio Pereira Magalhães's Cidade do Recife e seus arrabaldes Recife City and its Environs in 1870. It is for the present sequence of plates that Carls is best known. They comprise an inclusive collection of impressive views of the region: the public buildings provincial assembly presidential palace the Hospital Pedro II commercial streets rua do Imperador rua 1o de Março grand private homes the mansion of Dr Augusto Frederico de Oliveira which now houses the state museum and the seat of the Portuguese merchant João José Rodrigues Mendes Barão Rodrigues Mendes now the headquarters of the Pernambuco Academy of Letters theatres churches mother churches of San Antonio and Boa Vista shipping in the harbour markets and landscapes of the outlying villages and estates all teeming with life showing the signs of the accelerating modernization of Brazil following independence "a significant iconographic series for the visual memory of the country depicting scenes of everyday life customs and landscapes" Silva p. 1567. The album was a collaboration with German-born artist Louis Adam Cornell Krauss who arrived in Recife in 1877 but it has been suggested that the plates incorporate the uncredited work of pioneering Brazilian photographers such as João Ferreira Vilela Alfredo Ducasble Guilherme Gaensly Wilhelm Gänsli and Augusto Stahl. Certainly several of the views exhibit a sharpness of detail that hints at the use of photographic templates and some bear a close resemblance to images produced by these Brazilian pioneers. For example the view of Recife from the observatory of the naval arsenal is very similar to Gaensly's framing of the same subject and the plate of the Sete de Septembro bridge bears comparison with Vilela's views. When the Pernambucan organising committee for the Berlin South American exhibition of 1866 included one of Carls's albums they did so in the belief that this would present the German public with an "an idea of the beauty of our city". Landscape quarto 300 x 420 mm. High-finish pictorial chromolithographic calendar for 1880 with Carls' imprint as title page and 36 coloured lithographic plates. Original green cloth title gilt to the front board within a broad black stylised floral panel between two single gilt ruled panels the black panel repeated on the lower board edges lightly marbled floral-pattered endpapers in sepia the title in German neatly inked in purple in a contemporary hand to the first blank small bookbinder's ticket of Wilhelm Bitz Basel to the lower fore-corner of the front pastedown dated August 1885 in the same hand. Housed in a dark green cloth flat-back box by the Chelsea Bindery. Very light shelf-wear some marginal browning to the plates occasional scatter of spotting overall very good indeed.

18512004AG1851. London & New York J & F. Tallis 1851. Original steel engraving / Vintage map. Drawn and engraved by John Rapkin. Partly hand-coloured. Plate Size: 23.9 cm x 34.3 cm. Sheet Size: 27.5 cm x 37.4 cm. Vintage 19th century map in very good condition. John Tallis 7 November 1817 3 June 1876 was an English cartographic publisher. His company John Tallis and Company published views maps and atlases in London from roughly 1838 to 1851. Tallis set up as a publisher with Frederick Tallis in Cripplegate in 1842; the business moved to Smithfield in 1846 and was dissolved in 1849. From 1851 to 1854 Tallis operated as John Tallis and Company. He started The illustrated news of the world and national portrait gallery of eminent personages in 1858 selling it for £1370 in 1861; it folded in 1863. Wikipedia The most important project John Tallis undertook was the 'Illustrated Atlas' from 1851. The original map we offer here was part of this exceptional Atlas and all the maps it contained are still today considered as the last reminder of an era of lavish map production. Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin 1815-1876 and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes people in their environment and even more so historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities architecture and landscape. The project of 'The Illustrated Atlas' was designed to be finished just in time for the anxiously awaited "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" or The Great Exhibition sometimes referred to as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in reference to the temporary structure in which it was held was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park London from 1 May to 11 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century and it was a much anticipated event. The Great Exhibition was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert husband of the reigning monarch Queen Victoria. It was attended by numerous notable figures of the time including Charles Darwin Samuel Colt members of the Orléanist Royal Family and the writers Charlotte Brontë Charles Dickens Lewis Carroll George Eliot and Alfred Tennyson. Music for the opening was under the direction of Sir George Thomas Smart and the continuous music from the exhibited organs for the Queen's procession was "under the superintendence of William Sterndale Bennett".
