Karnac lithograph after David Roberts.<ul><li>Lithograph by Louis Haghe, after painting by David Roberts.</li><li>London: 1849.</li><li>Hand-colored lithograph on fine paper mounted on card as issued from the subscription edition of Roberts' Egypt.&nbsp;</li></ul> David Roberts' magnificent images of Egypt and the Holy Land rank among the finest topographical views of the 19th century. Roberts made a two-year journey to the Middle East commencing in 1838, and while there, executed numerous watercolors from which the finest were selected for the publication. The lithographs were executed by Louis Haghe. In order to help fund the project, Roberts produced a deluxe subscription edition, from which this lithograph was taken, which is notable for being the only edition to have original hand color, which would have been executed under the direction of the artist.

A mezzotint depicting a contest between the game-cocks of Colonel Mordaunt and the Nawab Wazir of Oudh, Asafud-dauba, who are seen facing each other with outstretched arms.<ul><li>Johann Zoffany (German, 1733-1810).</li><li>Engraved by Richard Earlom.</li><li>Colonel Mordaunt's Cock Match.

Mordaunt was a keen cockfighter and had brought out from England gamecocks which he was confidant would defeat the native-bred cocks (Mary Webster, Johan Zoffany 1733-1810, Exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, 1976, cat. no. 104). Notable spectators include General Martin, Mr. Wheeler, John Wombwell, Ozias Humphry and Zoffany himself.

Engravings depicting the metamorphoses of South American insects and the exotic plants on which they feed, from Dissertatio de Generatione et Metamorphasibus Insectorum Surinamensium.<ul><li>Sold as a set of 4.</li><li>After Maria Sybylla Merian (German, 1647-1717).</li><li>Engravings by J. Mulder, P. Sluyter and D. Stoopendaal.</li><li>The Hague: Gosse, 1719.</li><li>Hand-colored later.</li><li>Each is presented framed.</li></ul> Maria Sybilla, daughter of the German engraver and publisher Matthias Merian, devoted herself to the study of European insects and their metamorphoses. As a result of the wealth of tropical varieties being brought back by the Dutch West Indies Company, she decided to visit the Dutch colony of Surinam herself to study and paint the insect life there. She sailed with her daughter Dorothea on June 1699 from Amsterdam, and remained in Surinam until 1701. Her work, first published in 1705, "gave an unprecedented glimpse of the teeming insect life of tropical South America, with gorgeous butterflies flying around luxuriant flowering or fruiting plants and with large many-colored caterpillars crawling over the leaves. [The plates] have earned Maria Merian an honored place in the history of tropical entomology as also in botanical illustration" (W.T. Stearn, introduction to The Wondrous Transformation of Caterpillars, 1978).

Flowers, Insects and Fruits

A group of engravings of Todda Panna palms.<ul><li>Sold as a set of 4.</li><li>Hendrik Adriaan van Rheede tot Drakenstein (Dutch).</li><li>Plates drawn by Matteus A. St. Joseph and engraved by B.

Rheede was the colonial governor of Malabar on the southwest coast of India and, when not occupied with official duties, an enthusiastic botanist and investigator of the Indian sub-tropical flora. Initially he encouraged local people to collect plants for him and employed learned Brahmins to supply information.

Hand-colored mezzotint engravings of aloes in decorative pots by Johann Weinmann.<ul><li>Sold as a set of 12.</li><li>Johann Wilhelm Weinmann (German).</li><li>Amsterdam: Zacharias Romberg, 1736-1748.</li><li>In handmade gold-leaf frames and glazed with glass.</li></ul> Weinmann (1683-1741) was a Regensburg apothecary who organized the publication of Phytanthoza Iconographia, a huge florilegum which was not only very beautiful but which also influenced the publication of similar works worldwide. "The mezzotint process used here had been invented by Johann Teyler in the Netherlands around 1688. As practiced here by Bartholomaus Seuter (1678-1754) and Johann Elias Ridinger (1698-1767), it was really a combination of etching and mezzotint, which made possible delicate lines and a very fine grain. The addition of hand-tinting brought about unusual and subtle effects." (Hunt)

A group of watercolors of hyacinths by Pieter van Loo.<ul><li>Sold as a set of three prints, framed as one piece.</li><li>Pieter van Loo (Dutch).</li><li>Three bodycolor paintings of double hyacinths, with the names of the varieties lettered at the top, each signed below.</li><li>This work is presented framed.</li></ul> Pieter Van Loo (or Loon), Haarlem 1731-1784, was a noted flower painter who spent the whole of his life in Haarlem. His paintings are sought after and are found in leading institutions such as the Albertina in Vienna, the Fitzwilliam, Cambridge and Oak Spring, Virginia.

Hyacinths

A group of hand-colored engraved plates of hyacinths.<ul><li>Sold as a set of 6.</li><li>Pierre Joseph Buchoz (French).</li><li>Collection coloriée des plus belles variétés de Jacinthes, qu'on monte aux Curieux dans les Jardins des Fleuristes d'Harlem.</li><li>Paris, Pierre Joseph Buchoz, 1781.</li><li>Each is presented framed.</li></ul> The second half of the eighteenth century saw a boom in natural history publications in France fueled by such works as Buffon's Histoire Naturelle. The accession of Louis XVI in 1774 was followed by a relaxation in the regulation of the book trade, making it easier for authors to publish their own works. No other writer was to take such copious advantage of these two developments as Pierre-Joseph Buchoz (1731-1807), a French physician, lawyer and naturalist. His works are characterized by the beauty of the illustrations, and their rarity owing to the small size of the print runs.

English Colored Bunting Engraving

Pencil, watercolor and body color drawing heightened with white on paper and watermarked J. Whatman 1804 and 1805.<ul><li>Well executed and highly atmospheric watercolors capturing the importance of the river for trade in early 19th century China.</li><li>Unusual and very attractive depictions of river life with the river in the foreground with a finely executed drawing of a native boat, the backgrounds showing landscape scenes interspersed with occasional architectural details.</li><li>Framed and glazed.</li></ul> The Pearl River is so named because of the pearl-colored shells that lie at the bottom of the river in the section that flows through the city of Guangzhou. Formerly often known as the Canton River, it is an extensive river system in southern China. The name "Pearl River" is also often used as a catchall for the watersheds of the Xi ("West"), Bei ("North") and Dong ("East") rivers of Guangdong. These rivers are all considered tributaries of the Pearl River because they share a common delta, the Pearl River Delta. Measured from the farthest&nbsp;of the Xi River, the Pearl River system is China's third-longest river, 2,400 kilometers, after the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and second largest by volume, after the Yangtze.

Hand-colored pochoir print from Ernest and Gamy Montaut.<ul><li>Depicts Theophile Schneider's 1912 win at Dieppe Diannt.</li><li>Framed and glazed.</li><li>Published by Mabileau and Company.</li><li>Theophile Schneider, formerly of the Rochet Schneider Company, began building his own cars in 1910; this car, a 2.8 liter four-cylinder model, had an unusual radiator placement on the dashboard.</li></ul> Gamy-Montaut prints document various historical events in the early history of transportation, including power boat racing, motorcycle and motor car racing, motor car touring, zeppelins and tennis. Having observed the rapidly growing interest in cars and racing during the early years of motor cars, Ernest Montaut produced his first motoring prints in the mid-1890s, and by 1897, his drawings were pictorial records of the many races in France. Montaut's work was extremely well received in the Paris of his day and was shown in the fashionable shops of the Rue de l'Opera and Rue de la Paix, as well as in the better galleries. Marguerite Montaut, Ernest's wife, joined him in his work producing not only racing prints but also developing a fine series of aviation prints commemorating such events as the first flights on the early European mail routes. While Marguerite Montaut's works were occasionally signed "M. Montaut," she also&nbsp;used the name "Gamy," an anagram for Maggie. The Gamy-Montaut prints were all produced by the pochoir process in which the outlines for each image were drawn onto lithographic stones and printed. Using these uncolored prints as a template, elaborate stencils were cut for each color. Watercolor was then brushed onto the image through the stencil. The coloring process was quite complex, with each print taking several days to produce. It was also quite labor intensive, and the studio of Gamy-Montaut therefore employed a group of trained artists, including Nevil and Campion, to assist in the coloring.

Hand-finished copper engravings from Hortus Eystettensis, one of the earliest and most famous works in the field.<ul><li>Sold as a set of 4.</li><li>Copper engraved plates enhanced by hand with color.</li><li>Basilius Besler&nbsp;(German, 1561–1629) was a respected Nuremberg apothecary and botanist, best known for his monumental Hortus Eystettensis.</li><li>Framed and glazed.&nbsp;</li><li>Published by Nuremberg and Eichstatt.</li></ul> The Hortus Eystettensis is a pictorial record of the flowers grown in the greatest German garden of its time, that of Prince Bishop of Eichstatt, Johann Conrad von Gemmingen. The garden was begun by Joachim Camerarius in 1596 and, after his death in 1598, completed by Basilius Besler. A visitor, Philipp Hainhofer, in 1611 marveled at the eight gardens, each containing "flowers from a different country; they varied in the beds and flowers, especially in the beautiful roses, lilies, tulips." The Hortus records this variety and beauty. The book is exceptional in every sense; in its variety and range of flowers, in its size, in its fine quality of engraving. It is also one of the earliest records of flowers from a specific, documented&nbsp;garden. Besler was asked to complete the work by Gemmingen in 1606; the huge nature of the task was clear to Besler and he enlisted the help of his younger brother Hieronymus and Ludwig Jungermann, a nephew of Camerarius. Printing the Hortus may have begun as early as 1607. Drawings were made in situ and from specimens sent by the Bishop to Nuremberg; the Bishop reported to Hainhofer that he had boxes of fresh flowers sent every week to Besler at Nuremberg for sketching. A team of at least 10 engravers were employed to translate the drawings to copper plates. The gardens, along with most of the town of Eichstatt, were destroyed by the invading Swedish troops under Herzog Bernhard von Weimar in 1633–4, although they were partially restored by later bishops. Many of the original drawings survive in the University Library, Erlangen.

A star chart from the second edition of Flamsteed's Atlas Coelestis.<ul><li>Hand-colored sign of the zodiac heightened with gold and silver.</li><li>Engraved by John Mynde.</li><li>Framed and glazed.</li></ul> Charles II founded the Royal Observatory in Greenwich in 1675, and in the same year, John Flamsteed (1646–1719) was appointed the first Astronomer Royal. Flamsteed began to collect data on the stars as observed using a telescope in order to create a star atlas showing the celestial sky above Greenwich. This was a huge undertaking and Flamsteed didn't live to see its publication, which was finally produced by his widow in 1729, ten years after his death. The stars were positioned and the astrological coordinates drawn by Abraham Sharp, while the figures in the constellations were after drawings by Sir James Thornhill and others. In his atlas, Flamsteed corrects the errors in position made by earlier astronomers such as Bayer in the 17th century. It was considered the first significant contribution of the&nbsp;Observatory, and the numerical Flamsteed designations for stars are still in use.
