1550ABC_49514Italy 1550. 17th-century gold-tooled brown calf sewn on 6 supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine a red morocco title label on the spine with the title "Novissima urbis Romae descriptio" lettered in gold gold-tooled board edges. Large oblong folio ca. 59 x 42.3 cm. With 76 full-page engravings and 12 full-page etchings. Remarkable album with 77 beautiful examples of 16th-century Italian cartography all in very fine dark impressions. The collection includes plans of important Italian towns such as Rome Venice Genoa Naples Milan Florence Palermo Siena Bologna and Pisa as well as detailed views of individual buildings and monuments in Rome. They are engraved by several cartographers from the school of Antonio Lafreri 1512-1577 primarily Claudio Duchetti d. 1585 Matteo Florimi d. 1613 and Lafreri himself. Florimi's works are among the rarest of the Lafreri school map makers especially his Siena imprints of which several have here been included.In the middle of the 16th century Italy was the centre of map production and distribution in Europe. This industry primarily took place in Venice and Rome. The most notable of the publishers in Rome was Lafreri. His most important and most popular work is the Speculum Romanae magnificentiae a collection of plans an views of Rome's monuments; no two copies of the Speculum are the same. The present collection contains more than thirty plates from the Speculum. When Lafreri died his nephew Claudio Duchetti inherited the company. He continued to produce the Speculum plates but often made small adjustments and signed his own name at the bottom. Most of the Speculum plates in the present album are by Duchetti. After his death the copperplates were sold to other publishers such as Giovanni Orlandi before 1590-after 1640 who reissued them. The majority of the plates in the present album were printed by Orlandi in 1602.The album further contains 32 engraved city plans mostly of Italian towns although a few foreign cities are also included; one of the rarest is the view of Moscow which is also included here. The collection ends with a incomplete series of 11 etchings of landscapes and biblical scenes.A list of contents is available upon request.With the bookplate of Louis Routy de Charodon seigneur de Grésigny and Charodon 1710-1794 on the front pastedown and remnants of another bookplate above.

Guétant stamp-signed in gilt on tail of spine double gilt-ruled border floral cornerpieces raised bands spine panels with scrolling floral borders and central flower ornament gilt titling. With title vignette and 62 ENGRAVED FOLDING PLATES ALL WITH BEAUTIFUL HAND COLORING AND HIGHLIGHTED WITH GOLD depicting Bible scenes from the Old and New Testament 61 of which are by Jan Luyken. A Large Paper Copy. For earlier editions: Graesse IV p. 308; Brunet III 1245-46; Klaversma & Hannema 159-164. Light rubbing to joints and edges boards just a little marked trivial foxing and faint spots here and there but A REMARKABLY FINE COPY the binding lustrous and showing little wear the paper extremely bright and fresh the margins immense and the paint and gold unusually vibrant.<br/> <br/> The marvelous illustrations of Dutch engraver and poet Jan Luyken comprise this collection of "remarkable stories" from the Bible each depicted with panoramic grandeur and enhanced with a wide range of finely applied colors and gold. Luyken 1649-1712 had written and illustrated erotic poetry as a young man but later became a devout Pietist after reading the works of German mystic Jakob Böhme. He became a member of the Baptist Church in 1673 and thereafter devoted his talents to producing religious works. The vast scenes here are notable in their scale detail and animation. There are a number of battle scenes from the Old Testament as well as dramatic depictions of the plagues and a fascinating episode from the histories of Josephus depicting Herod's soldiers being lowered down the side of a cliff in large boxes suspended from chains in order to attack the thieves hiding in caverns on the cliffside. There is a majestic portrayal of the Queen of Sheba arriving at the court of Solomon a peaceful scene of Adam naming the beasts in the Garden of Eden and a festive celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles. New Testament scenes include a terrifying final judgment a blinding conversion of St. Paul and scenes from that Apostle's travels. The engravings have one common trait: they are heavily populated whether by men or beasts and one of Luyken's special gifts is to render every person in the crowd as an individual with his own concerns and reactions to the events at hand. The engravings while already greatly pleasing in black and white are even more stirring and memorable when seen in the full color and gold used here. Expansive tableaus are given greater definition and clarity and events such as Noah’s flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah are rendered even more successful in expressing the awesome powers of the Almighty. The illustrations are quite definitely Protestant in point of view: there are no depictions of the Virgin Mary not even a Nativity scene. Except for engravings of the Annunciation to the Shepherds and the Massacre of the Holy Innocents the illustrations focus on Jesus as an adult and on the work of his Apostles spreading the gospel. There were earlier editions containing Luyken's 62 large plates which originally appeared without text as here in 1708 and they appeared again with a text in Dutch in 1729 and in French in 1732. Copies of these editions appear with some regularity in the marketplace but are usually not colored and are often found incomplete or with other major condition issues. We can trace no record in RBH or OCLC of a copy of our 1790 edition and we can find nothing that compares with the quality of coloring and grand height attained by the monumental margins seen here.

(Madrid, Sancha, 1788 y años siguientes), 40,5 x 25,5 cm., cartoné moderno, 130 hojas + 192 láminas iluminadas a mano representando la historia y hábitos de 96 órdenes. (Una de las obras más espléndidas y raras salidas de la imprenta de Sancha. La edición original francesa fue emprendida por Bar en 1778. Sancha empezó a publicar la versión española en 1788 en cuadernos de 6 láminas y quedó sin terminar. Según Cotarelo, a la muerte de Sancha llevaba entregados al público unos 20 cuadernos y posteriormente su hijo tiró algunos más. Ningún bibliógrafo sabe cuantas láminas llegaron a imprimirse. Así, por ejemplo, en El Grabado en España se afirma ?Parece que se publicaron únicamente 188 estampas?. El Catálogo Colectivo solo registra 4 ejemplares pero existe uno más en la Academia de la Historia que utilizó Rodríguez Moñino para su bibliografía de Sancha. Todos estos ejemplares tienen diferente número de láminas. El que mas tiene es el de la Biblioteca Episcopal del Seminario de Barcelona con 203 láminas, el de la Academia de la Historia 188, el de la Biblioteca Lázaro Galdiano 186 y el de la Biblioteca de Navarra sólo 94. Según el WorldCat, esta obra no tiene portada y contiene 97 órdenes y 192 láminas).

10427Berkeley CA: Editions Koch 2003. Full Leather. Fine binding. Folio. 44 pp. frontis plates. Limited edition one of 120 copies this copy out of series; there are also 26 lettered deluxe copies with a suite of 10 engravings. All are signed by Bringhurst Wagener and Peter Koch at the colophon. Bound by Camille Botelho in black box calf with inlays and onlays of dyed calf vinyl snakeskin painted paper mylar laminates and a porcupine quill; hand embroidered endbands; vinyl snakeskin doublures. A fine copy in clamshell box. <br /> <br /> True to form Peter Koch has produced a marvelous edition of what remains of Parmenides's poem "On Nature." The fragments of the poem are rendered in this opposite page bilingual edition with the Greek on the left and Bringhurst's English translation on the right. The poetry is brilliantly accompanied by Wagner's striking engravings a frontispiece and 4 additional wood engravings in red and orange. <br /> <br /> Given it survives only in fragments there is some debate as to the "meaning" of the symbolism of Parmenides's poem making it a work ripe for interpretation. But at base his view of reality is one of stasis unchangeable. And while that enduring Greek logic marks the work Wagener introduces remarkably abstract and kinetic illustrations printed in an urgent deep red and orange—projecting anything but stasis. It is the discord between the logical understanding or reality and the emotional understanding of it that spoke to Botelho and informed her design of this incredible binding. She writes: "In the design I thought of Parmenides looking out past shadowy arches from within a dark room to find total chaos beyond. The curve of the Mylar inlay and the curve of the porcupine quill mimic a column marking a threshold beyond which is uncontrolled noise and movement and mess. I wanted the disparity between the smoothness of the box calf and the chaos of the inlays and yellow foiling to be a comment on how frightening examining one's reality can be." Magnificently achieved Botelho has created an exceptional binding that bridges Parmenides and Wagener giving voice to the paradox she sees in this metaphysical conversation on the nature of reality.

19401262991940. New York: Lee A. Ault & R. C. von Ripper 1940. <br /> <br /> Huge folio 50 pp. text and illustration engraved throughout on folded leaves separated with tissue guards in stiffened wrappers with an additional suite of 22 plates lacking some together in the original cloth portfolio and card slipcase. Together with seven sheets of proof plates and a folder of five related press clippings bearing the printed label of Monica McCall Inc. Wrappers lightly toned portfolio worn and splitting slipcase considerably worn and stained and lacking spine panel plates themselves are very good throughout with only a hint of age-toning to the outer margins.<br /> <br /> § Copy V signed by Von Ripper and Muriel Rukeyser one of three Rives paper with a suite of etchings on Velin de Normandie from a total edition of 67 copies. This copy belonged to Muriel Rukeyser who has extracted some of the suite of prints they now number 22 and added seven proof sheets some showing and annotating alternate inking options as well as a small collection of related press clippings gathered for her by Monica McCall her literary representative and sometime lover.<br /> <br /> An important collaboration between Rukeyser and the Austrian-born surrealist etcher Rudolph von Ripper 1905-1960 on the eve of America's entry into the Second World War. Rukeyser's poem looks to the legacy of John Brown the militant abolitionist of the 1850s and celebrates the possibility of spiritual renewal through resistance to injustice. It first appeared in the June 1940 edition of Poetry Magazine. Here the poem is fully engraved and illustrated with original etchings by von Ripper and interleaved with the etched verses of the old Civil War marching song. By the time Von Ripper was engaged on this project he was only 35 but had already fought for the French Foreign Legion been imprisoned and tortured by the Gestapo and been wounded while fighting on the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War. His direct physical experience of the rise of fascism is evident in his visceral Goya-like etchings. The series was exhibited in the Bignou Gallery in New York in 1941. A contemporary review described it is "an unusal undertaking brilliantly executed the drawings forming not so much illustrations or decorations as actual parts of the poem. Realism symbolism powerful design and dramatic presentment mark these plates which form a distinguished piece of bookmaking. unknown

Les épreuves sont justifiées au crayon par Pierre André Benoit VI/X, VI/VII, la planche supplémentaire étant non numérotée. Ensemble rarissime, en excellent état de conservation. - Note : L'illustration de Picasso utilise la technique de la cartalégraphie, mise au point par Pierre-André Benoit en 1959 pour le livre Dans vos jardins, qui consiste à tirer un carton à la manière d'une gravure : "Le principe en est simple : un carton plat ou ondulé, souple ou plus rigide, est découpé, déchiré, incisé, ou gratté par l'artiste, puis fixé par l'imprimeur sur un support à la hauteur typographique, finalement encré puis imprimé." (Coron) Le 10 octobre 1966, Yvonne Zervos obtint de Picasso deux masques telluriques en cartalégraphie, auxquels se rajoutèrent deux masques supplémentaires confectionnés par l'artiste sous les yeux de l'éditeur en février 1967.
