Bulino misure: mm 262 x 210 I Sadeler furono una numerosa famiglia di artisti fiamminghi, principalmente incisori di riproduzione, attivi in tutta Europa tra il XVI e il XVII secolo. Lo stile dei membri della famiglia è molto simile e non sempre facilmente distinguibile ma per tre generazioni, spostandosi dall’Olanda all’Italia, fermandosi in Germania e a Praga, questi incisori, editori e commercianti di stampe hanno giocato un ruolo centrale nella diffusione delle immagini. Il soggetto rappresentato in questa stampa, tratto da un invenzione di Maarten de Vos (Anversa 1532 - 1603), fa parte della serie I quattro venti. Il protagonista è il vento del sud, Austro. La composizione si svolge su due piani separati da una coltre di nubi, che grazie al tecnicismo del bulino sono rese pesanti e minacciose. Partendo da sinistra vediamo Ops, una donna anziana con il volto corrugato, che con una pala sulla spalla e una falce e un rastrello nella mano destra si avvicina ad Austro, giovane uomo dal corpo plastico e scolpito. Egli è intento a soffiare e spruzzare acqua mentre agli angoli superiori si trovano i venti "Phoenicias" e "Libonetes" che soffiano serpenti, mosche e scorpioni. Sempre nella zona superiore, tra le nuvole e sotto la Via Lattea un gruppo di figure si avvicina a un tempio etichettato "Secreta Deorum". Nella parte inferiore il fiume Nilo scorre tra catene montuose, vegetazione e qualche abitazione e uomini di una tribù combattono contro alligatori e un drago. Firma iscritta in lastra "Joan. Sadler sculp. et excud / M. de Vos figuravit". Nel margine inferiore due colonne con testo in latino di quattro righe ciascuna. Titolo isritto in alto al centro. Impressione eccellente, ricca di toni. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Margini di 5 mm oltre la battuta del rame. Filigrana non decifrabile. Bibliografia: Hollstein, 515

189054424Racine Wisconsin: Manufacturers Printing Company n. d. ca. 1890. 1890. WINDMILLS WINDPOWER. First edition. 8vo. Printed wrappers 54 2 pp. numerous detailed illustrations lithographic plates diagrams. This catalogue relates to pumping and geared windmills and fixtures for general and domestic uses The full line includes Eclipse pumping windmills Eclipse windmills for power purposes and for water supply purposes. Also there is information on pumps of various forms and windmill styles as well as water tanks of all sizes and descriptions. Helpful suggestions in the proper location of geared windmills with a reference to their several uses and a section regarding repairs and a description of parts. "The Eclipse windmill was one of the more successful designs of windmill used to pump water in the nineteenth century United States. It was invented by Leonard Wheeler a Presbyterian minister who was working among the Ojibwe on the south shore of Lake Superior. Wheeler perfected the device on his missionary homestead over nearly two decades unknown to the larger technological world. In 1866 health issues forced him to move to Beloit Wisconsin then a bustling industrial city where he was persuaded to patent the basic function of the device. Although Wheeler died before he could witness the success of his invention his sons carried on the legacy. Some of the companies that succeeded the original Eclipse Windmill Company remain viable in the 21st century. In the early 1890s Charles Morse bought shares in the Eclipse Wind Engine Company. Eventually Morse merged the interests of Eclipse with those of the Fairbanks Company as well as other enterprises organizing the combined company known as Fairbanks Morse & Co. At the turn of the 20th century the products of Fairbanks Morse & Co. including the various models of the Eclipse Windmill were sold all over the world. Eclipse windmills at the time were one of the top two brands in the United States and were also manufactured extensively in Germany. When the patent rights expired in 1901 many competing windmill companies copied the design. After World War I the Fairbanks Morse company no longer manufactured the classic wood-fin Eclipse. However they did produce several steel windmills that carried the Eclipse brand name." ---- Wikipedia Red stamp of agent L. H.

1937469N.P.: Leslie Howard 1937. original. Leaf. Fine. Off-white 4" x 6" album page signed clearly in blue fountain pen with the date of 1937 the date of the book Gone With The Wind in which he was to star. Very Scarce signature by esteemed movie actor Leslie Howard 1893-1943 during or near the time that the classic film "Gone With The Wind" was being prepared. The signature bears the surprisingly rare date of the book Gone With The Wind in "1937." Howard seldom signed autographs and his signature near the time of the film Gone With The Wind are rarities. The actor was uncomfortable with his role as Ashley Wilkes and simultaneously was shooting another film during production. Those factors plus a pronounced disinclination to sign autographs means that his signature with a 1937 date is a rarity. Nor was Howard able to retroactively autograph many pieces associated with his most famous role or others because he was killed in 1943 during World War II. Leslie Howard unknown
