1800F6DFHL01U79OVienna 1800. Oblong small folio 23.5 x 37 cm and 25.5 x 39.5 cm. Volume 1 stab-sewn volume 2 with the leaves mounted on stubs and sewn through the folds each with blue shell-marbled paper wrapped around the spine. In an early 19th-century half tanned sheepskin box in the form of a book Stormont marbled sides metal hook-clasps. With 67 pen-and-ink watercolour and gouache drawings of horses plus stubs of 5 more numbered 1-54 and 75-87 including 1 folding most highlighted with silver and gold all signed each within a black ruled border most trimmed and mounted on blank leaves ca. 1805. With 2 etchings added at the end of volume 1 executed by Friedrich Leopold Bürde and dated 1812. 2 volumes. Unique harness maker's colour-drawn sample book with each drawing depicting a horse in elaborate carriage horse tack. The drawings were executed by Michael Fölsch himself one of the foremost Viennese makers and sellers of luxury tack in the early 19th century to show prospective clients possible designs for their carriage horses. Each drawing is signed by Fölsch as artist. His talent for draughtsmanship and colouring was hitherto unknown and is remarkable for a leather craftsman who probably never received training as a painter. The variety and complexity of the designs and the use of gold and silver is impressive suggesting that such bespoke equipment was intended for the wealthy elite.From the equestrian library of the Imperial stable master Franz Wenzel Schleichart von Wiesenthal ca. 1730-post 1800 with his engraved armorial bookplate upside down on the back of the box. He was a leading figure in a great dynasty of stable masters and horse breakers. Thereafter in the collection of Franz Josef II Fürst von und zu Liechtenstein 1906-1989.With only stubs for 5 of what would have been 72 leaves. A few leaves had torn or nearly torn before they were mounted ca. 1805 but most are in very good condition and the mounting has preserved and protected those that had been damaged. The drawings were clearly made for daily use and show occasional dirt small stains spots or other minor blemishes. ABE CAT Art History hardcover

185099561850. Horse and carriage ambrotype circa 1850-1859 documents mid-19th century American civilian transportation and rural social life during the decade immediately preceding and encompassing the early Civil War period. The image holds research value for the study of early photographic practice particularly outdoor ambrotype production as well as material culture relating to horse-drawn mobility family presentation and dress in pre-industrial and wartime America. Ambrotypes were typically produced in controlled studio environments due to technical limitations; the presence of an outdoor composition situates this image within a less common subset of early American photography.<br /> Quarter plate ambrotype photograph showing a family seated within a horse-drawn carriage accompanied by two large horses with an adult man standing at the front holding the animals. The man wears a broad-brimmed hat consistent with mid-19th century rural or frontier attire. The group is positioned outdoors likely on unpaved ground with no visible studio backdrop emphasizing natural light exposure. The composition centers the carriage and team with human figures arranged to present both transport and family unit simultaneously. The photograph is housed in its original leather presentation case with red velvet interior lining and a decorative copper mat framing the image. The ambrotype process a glass-based photographic technique introduced in the early 1850s produces a unique non-reproducible positive image distinguishing it from later paper-based photographic formats such as cartes de visite.<br /> Ambrotypes emerged during a transitional period in photographic history bridging earlier daguerreotype practices and the rise of reproducible paper photography. By the late 1850s and into the Civil War era photographic documentation expanded alongside technological shifts yet outdoor images remained comparatively uncommon due to exposure constraints and equipment limitations. This image contributes to the visual record of civilian life during a period often dominated by military imagery offering insight into transportation clothing and social presentation outside formal studio settings. Light wear to case exterior minor rubbing at edges; interior velvet intact with moderate compression; glass plate and mat remain well-preserved with clear image visibility. Overall very good condition. unknown
