273-360 p. Paperback Good condition
Acquatinta stampata ad inchiostro bistro, 1781, firmata in lastra in basso a destra e datate in basso al centro. Magnifica prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva con filigrana, sottili margini, leggere abrasioni al verso, nel complesso in eccellente stato di conservazione. Una delle quattro famose vedute del carnevale romane incise dal Sandby su disegno di David Allan (Alloa 1744 - Edimburgo 1796). Alla grande maggioranza di pitture, incisioni,acquerelli e disegni che illustrano le feste del carnevale romano con un eccesso di "colore", si contrappone questa serie, che descrive quei medesimi festosi eventi con un asciutto e spiritoso sguardo pur rilevandone la nascosta eleganza e sontuosità. Le acquetinte di Sandby sono tratte da una serie di dieci disegni di Allan eseguiti durante i suoi soggiorni romani e ora conservati nella Collezione Reale del Castello di Windsor. La tecnica dell’acquatinta, conferisce all’opera quel particolare tono simile all’acquarello rendendo le opere molto affascinanti. Aquatint printed in bistro ink, 1781, signed in plate at lower right and dated at lower center. Magnificent proof, printed on coeval laid paper with watermark, thin margins, light abrasions on verso, overall in excellent condition. One of the four famous Roman carnival views engraved by Sandby from a drawing by David Allan (Alloa 1744 - Edinburgh 1796). To the great majority of paintings, engravings, watercolors and drawings that illustrate the festivities of the Roman carnival with an excess of "color", is contrasted this series, which describes those same festive events with a dry and witty look while noting the hidden elegance and sumptuousness. Sandby's aquatints are taken from a series of ten drawings by Allan made during his Roman sojourns and now housed in the Royal Collection of Windsor Castle. Paul Sandby was a landscape painter and printmaker. David Allan was one of the first painters in Scotland to record the everyday life of ordinary people. He was based in Rome from around 1767 to 1777 where he painted historical subjects, portraits and the everyday life around him in a series of watercolours. In Scotland he enjoyed a successful career as both an artist and a teacher of art. Some of David Allan's watercolours of Rome were copied by Paul Sandby in London, as prints. The technique of aquatint (used here) allowed the engraver to create the effect of colour washes with the addition of etched lines for detail. This is a technique that provides an additional layer of meaning to the scene. The aquatint allows tonal variation and contrast which in turn creates atmosphere. There is a tremendous amount of detail in the print, and any British observer at the time would have received a good impression of what Rome was like from this print. Sandby's re-creation of Allan's watercolour would have made the image much more accessible through multiple copies. Only the most popular or marketable images would be copied as prints. The composition is quite complex. The background of the street and buildings is rendered with single point perspective, where the landscape appears to recede away to a single point in the distance. The viewpoint Allan chose was a low one. This means that the buildings appear to loom over the scene and a lot of sky is shown. In contrast, the action on the ground occupies only the lower third of the composition; Allan did not "zoom in" on any one aspect but created a general view of the scene. In this view, two British travellers on horseback are confronted by the extravagant costumes and masked figures from the entertainers at a Roman carnival. Despite their politeness these grotesque figures are slightly disturbing. Perhaps this scene demonstrates the alien and disorientating feeling of visiting a new city and discovering bizarre customs which the traveller has never experienced before.

Tavola tratta dal celebre The Musical Entertainer, stampato a Londra da Charles Corbett, [1737-1739 o dopo]. Bickham è principalmente conosciuto per quest'opera incisa, pubblicata per la prima volta in parti quindicinali, ciascuna con quattro tavole, tra il gennaio 1737 e il dicembre 1739. Una seconda edizione fu anche pubblicata in parti tra il 1740 e il 1741, e una terza, stampata dalle tavole originali, fu pubblicata da John Ryall nel 1765. Le 200 tavole sono canzoni di Purcell, Handel, Haydn, Corelli, Pepusch e altri, ognuna con una vignetta incisa, e a parte il loro interesse musicale, forniscono una visione affascinante della vita sociale del tempo. Otto dei disegni sono di Gravelot, e secondo l'opinione di Ray molti altri sono stati imitati dall'opera di Watteau, il che lo porta a dire che il canzoniere "può quasi essere considerato francese". George Bickham il Giovane era incisore, editore, tipografo e uno dei primi caricaturisti inglesi. Ha prodotto pubblicazioni didattiche, caricature politiche e stampe pornografiche. Era il figlio dell'incisore George Bickham il Vecchio, che pubblicò la Universal Penman. Acquaforte, stampata su carta vergata coeva, con margini, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Bibliografia Stephen, Leslie, ed. (1886). "Bickham, George (d.1758)". Dictionary of National Biography. Vol. 5. London: Smith, Elder & Co; Cohen-de Ricci 145-146; Ray, French Illustrated Book, 12 Plate taken from The Musical Entertainer. London: Charles Corbett, [1737-1739 or later]. Bickham was principally known for this engraved work, first issued in fortnightly parts, each with four plates, between January 1737 and December 1739. A second edition was also brought out in parts 1740-41, and a third, printed from the original plates, was issued by John Ryall in 1765. The 200 plates are songs by Purcell, Handel, Haydn, Corelli, Pepusch and others, each headed with an engraved vignette, and quite apart from their musical interest they provide fascinating insight into the social life of the time. Eight of the designs are after Gravelot, and in Ray's opinion many others were imitated from Watteau's Oeuvre, leading him to say the song book "may almost be regarded as French." George Bickham the Younger (c. 1706–1771) was an English etcher and engraver, a printseller, and one of the first English caricaturists. He produced didactic publications, political caricatures, and pornographical prints. He was the son of the engraver George Bickham the Elder (1684–1758), who published the Universal Penman (1733–41). Etching, printed on contemporary laid paper, with margins, perfect condition. Bibliografia Stephen, Leslie, ed. (1886). "Bickham, George (d.1758)". Dictionary of National Biography. Vol. 5.

Henry Augustus Shute (1856-1943) was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy (1875) and Harvard University (1879). He was born and lived in Exeter, New Hampshire, where he worked as a lawyer and a judge of the municipal court. Sometime in the 1890s, He began writing for the Exeter News-Letter. His weekly stories based on recollections from boyhood were popular, however, it was not until the publication of 'The Real Diary of a Real Boy' (1902) that Shute acquired national recognition. He went on to write nineteen other books and published extensively in the Saturday Evening Post (1925-1928). Called the "Mark Twain of New England," Shute's humorous, innocent, and 'jolly' stories continue to provide valuable insight into the customs of his time and place. Tasha Tudor later (1968) illustrated this charming New England Tale. HUMOR 8

Vintage book by the doyenne of Girls School stories first published in 1920, this copy is undated, but the list of other titles by the author does not list any books published after 1921, so it is a very early reprint. Slight shelf wear and some light soiling, but overall a nice piece of nostalgia for lovers of the genre . Book
