1754ABC_46313Amsterdam: Reinier & Josua Ottens 1754. Contemporary calf richly-gold tooled spine and bords green morocco spine label with title in gold decorated edges marbled endpapers. Preserved in a professionally made black cloth box with a black morocco spine label with the author title and imprint in gold. Folio. Title-page in red and black a divisional-title for each volume and 100 engraved plates numbered 1-43 & I-LVII no. LVII folding vividly hand-coloured as published showing 460 fishes and other marine animals. 2 volumes bound as 1. Renard's famous but rare work noted for the spectacular imagery of colourful but also bizarre tropical fishes crabs and lobsters from the Indo-Pacific being the first colour-plated fish book here in its rare second edition. The book contains 100 plates with 460 originally and extraordinary hand-coloured copper engravings divided over two volumes with their own half-title 'Histoire naturelle des plus rare curiositez de la mer des Indes' of 415 fishes 41 crustaceans two stick insects a dugong and even a mermaid all living in the Indian Ocean between the East Indies. Sometimes the descriptions specifically refer to fishes of some islands in the East Indies as Ambon the Moluccas or Buton but they also contain references to the "fishes of the Antilles Brazil" Sabin and Mauritius. The illustrations in the first volume seems to be quite realistic in contrast to those in the second volume which are sometimes quite surreal which is even more emphasized by the short anecdotical and highly entertaining descriptions.The Amsterdam publisher and bookseller Louis Renard compiled this collection of ichtyological illustrations by copying the sets of drawings which were brought to Amsterdam by Frederik Julius Coyett the son of the governor and ambassador of Ambon and Banda Balthasar Coyett. The drawings in the first part were copied after the collection of Balthasar Coyett. The illustrations in the second part were copied by Samuel Fallours a soldier in the service of the Dutch East India Company who started drawing marine life in the East Indies for the governors after those in the collection of Andriaen van der Stel governor of the Moluccas.The book shows marine life in the East Indies and the Indo-Pacific when Europe knew very little on this subject there. Because of the brilliant colours fantastic shapes and the described habits of its subjects the work however was often dismissed in its own time as fantasy. Nevertheless Renard's Poissons ecrevisses et crabes is nowadays still one of the rarest and most magnificent ichtyological works being the first colour-plated fish book and a highly interesting scientific effort to represent the Indo-Pacific maritime life mixed with flights of fantasy.Spine and joints professionally restored preliminaries a little foxed some minor browning especially in volume 1 but overall in good condition with brightly coloured plates. One of 35 known copies of a rare ichthyological work.l Landwehr Coloured plates 159; Nissen ZBI 3361; Nissen Schone Fischbucher 103; Sabin 69600; cf.

Though Reynard is sly amoral cowardly and self-seeking he is still a sympathetic hero whose cunning is a necessity for survival. He symbolizes the triumph of craft over brute strength usually personified by Isengrim the greedy and dull-witted wolf. . The main literary tradition of Reynard the Fox descends from the extant French 'branches' of the Roman de Renart about 30 in number nearly 40000 lines of verse. The facetious portrayal of rustic life the camel as a papal legate speaking broken French the animals riding on horses and recounting elaborate dreams all suggest the atmosphere of 13th-century France" Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literature. There is some variation in chapter number within the early editions: From "Caxton's first edition 1481 to Thomas Gaultier's only edition 1550 the story is divided into 43 chapters" while the anonymous edition 1560-1585 has 58 chapters Varty. By the 17th century when the text is titled The Most Delectable History of Reynard the Fox it appears with only 25 chapters and maintains its image cycle. Early 17th century editions also maintained this "picture cycle" through Edward Brewster's 1662 edition but at this point the Wynkyn de Worde blocks were extremely worn and new set was created Varty. Forty images were used for his second edition 1671 and all contain his initials EB. "He published further illustrated editions in 1676 1681 1694 and 1701. in 1672 he grafted new life onto the old story with A Continuation Or Second Part of the Most Pleasant and Delightful History of Reynard the Fox" Varty for which he eventually created an additional 15 illustrations. In 1684 he would produce an additional sequel following the adventures of Reynard's son Reynardine. <br /> <br /> Brunet IV cols. 1228-1229. Lowndes p. 2076.

The Reynard stories were already established as a coherent collection in the 12th century and were first printed in 1479 in a Dutch prose edition. They became especially well known when translated into English and adapted for Caxton's 1481 edition in 43 chapters. The publisher Edward Alde in London began work on an extensive revision of Caxton's text with many new additions but he published only the first part probably in 1620 the first edition of the present part 1 containing 25 chapters some corresponding with chapters in Caxton's edition and some not. Although the second part would have to wait 52 years the first part quickly became the standard English version of the Reynard the Fox stories with 8 editions from 1620 to 1671. Its language was modernized giving both a view of the stories as they were known through most of two centuries and insights into English values and culture of the time. In 1684 Brewster added the present first edition of part 3 giving the adventures of Reynard's son Reynardine.With 20th-century woodcut bookplate. The woodcut on C1 of part 1 is printed upside down.

1790200098AG1790. London John Deeley c.1790. Original hand-coloured engraving. Plate Size: 61 cm x 46.5 cm. Frame Size: 77 cm x 63 cm. In very good- condition. Minor abrasion with slight tear to upper part of engraving. A wonderful scene by John Nost Sartorius illustrating a late 18th century British fox hunt in rich clear engravings by J. Neagle and J. Peltro. Plate IV shows the bad/good culmination of the hunt one's opinion depending on whose side one takes - the hunters or the hunted as the team of riders and excited hounds have captured the fox. The differing expressions on the riders' faces are fascinating. The accompanying lines of verse from William Somerville's 'The Chase' 1735 read as follows: "A chosen few / Alone the sport enjoy nor droop beneath / Their pleasing toils. The unerring hounds / With peals of echoing vengeance close pursue. / Listen! now they are at him again. Now Reynard / Look to yourself. It is just up with him. / What a crash they make; the whole wood resounds. / That turn was very short. There now; / Aye; now they have him. Who-hoop. Further inscription reads: 'To Charles Boldero Esqr of Aspeden Hall Herts. This Print is dedicated by his much obliged and obedient Servant John Harris.' John Nost Sartorius 17551828 was an English painter of horses horse-racing and hunting scenes. He is considered the best-known and prolific of the Sartorius family of artists. Wikipedia unknown

The lines of verse from William Somerville's 'The Chase' 1735 read as follows: "Here Huntsman from the height / Observe you Birds of prey; if I can judge / 'Tis there the villain lurks; they hover round / And claim him as their own. / Was I not right / See! there he creeps along: Ha! yet he flies / Nor yields to black despair but one loose more / And all his wiles are vain."
