Opera tratta dai "Los Caprichos", per la prima volta pubblicati nel 1799. Prova della quarta edizione di dodici, stampata dalla calcografia di Madrid, circa 1870. Aquaforte, acquatinta brunita e puntasecca, in perfetto stato di conservazione. La serie chiamata Los Caprichos, è composta da ottanta incisioni, la cui prima edizione [l’unica a non essere pubblicata postuma] venne alla luce ne 1799. Curata in fase d’edizione dallo stesso artista, la serie fu commercializzata e dopo poco tempo ritirata dal mercato. Infatti, a causa dei numerosi soggetti che ironizzavano sulla società spagnola di fine secolo, il Goya subì una censura. L’interpretazione dei soggetti rappresentati su queste lastre, sempre enigmatiche, è spesso controversa. Etching with burnished aquatint and engraving, 1799. From the fourth edition of twelve of the so-called "Los Caprichos" series, edited by the Madrid Calcografia [circa 1870].A very good impression, with good contrast, printed on contemporary paper, customary margins, in very good conditions. The series called Los Caprichos, consists of eighty etchings. This first edition of 1799, the only one not to be published posthumously, is imprinted on soft laid pape. Cured in phase edition by the same artist, the series was marketed and before long withdrawn from the market. In fact, because of the many subjects that mocked the Spanish society of the century, Goya suffered censorship. The interpretation of the subjects represented on these plates, always enigmatic, is often controversial. Harris 113, Delteil 115.

A treasure from the formative years of jazz diva Diana Krall. In 1980 Diana graduated from Woodlands Junior Secondary School in Nanaimo, British Columbia on Vancouver Island, Canada. Her photo first appears on page 19 where she is recognized on the 1978-79 Arts Honour Roll. On page 121 in the Band section appears a gorgeous head-shot of a young Diana playing the saxophone, beneath which appears the caption 'Diana!'. Michelle Krall, Diana's younger sister, appears on page 106. Finally, Diana's graduation photo and write-up appear on page 58. Beside her photo we read "Diana Piano resembles her Dad. In her spare time she eats and sleeps. Her life ambition is to replace Oscar Peterson. 'Way to go, Diana!'". Diana's current global superstardom is clearly no accident! The book itself is clean, tight and unmarked with very light wear. An excellent copy of this truly wonderful and inspiring item. Book

Acquaforte originale (cm. 21,8x11,2 più ampi margini) da un dipinto dello stesso Bignami. L'opera fu impressa nella celebre Calcografia torinese di C. Lovera nel marzo 1872. Il Bignami coniugò l’attività di pittore a quella, prevalente, di acquafortista, legato al gruppo degli incisori piemontesi della seconda metà dell’Ottocento dominato dalla personalità di A. Fontanesi. Tra il 1869 e il 1870 visse a Firenze, che raffigurò spesso nei suoi paesaggi. A Torino partecipò, dal 1863, alle mostre della Società Promotrice, affermandosi nel 1871 con tre dipinti: Il pasto ai pulcini, L'ultima ora del lavoro e Le nebbie del mattino in riva all'Arno. Nello stesso anno si segnalò alla Promotrice di Bologna con due paesaggi giudicati «d’impronta vera e di fattura coscienziosa». Le notizie sulla sua attività espositiva si fermano al 1877, poiché l’artista dovette rinunciare precocemente alla pittura per una malattia agli occhi e per vicissitudini familiari. In ottimo stato di conservazione. Etching, lettered along bottom 'Adolfo Bignami dip e inc C. Lovera imp.' followed by title 'Dietro la masseria '(Behind the farmhouse). After a Bignami’ painting. A girl seated behind a building surrounded by poultry The plate was printed by Carlo Lovera in 1872. Excellent condition. Bignami combined the activity of painter to that, prevalent, etching, linked to the group of Piedmontese engravers of the second half of the nineteenth century dominated by the personality of A. Fontanesi. Between 1869 and 1870 he lived in Florence, which often depicted in his landscapes. In Turin participated, since 1863, the exhibitions of the Society Promotrice, establishing himself in 1871 with three paintings: The meal of chicks, The last hour of work and The morning mists on the banks of the Arno. In the same year he was noticed at the Promotrice of Bologna with two landscapes judged "of true imprint and conscientious workmanship". The news about his exhibition activity stop in 1877, since the artist had to give up painting early because of an eye disease and family vicissitudes.
