Exquisite prints of Orchids by Anton Hartinger "Paradisus Vindobonensis" (Viennese Paradise) Stanhopea Aurea Nat. Ord. Orchideae Guatemala

Author / Artist: Anton Hartinger, Austrian flower painter and lithographer (1806 - 1890). Title:"Paradisus Vindobonensis" Abbildungen seltener und schoenbluehender Pflanzen der Wiener und anderer Gaerten und Museen. Publisher: K.& K. Hof- und Staatsdruckerei Vienna Dedication: To His Majesty Ferdinand I., Kaiser of Austria, King of Hungary, of Lombardy and Venice. The background story: Anton Hartinger, was a Viennese artist specialized in flower painting. He was a member of the Viennese Academy of Arts from 1843 to 1851. Lacking money to publish his extraordinary large folio size and extensive work on flowers, he sought investors. And he found them. But it took from 1844 to 1860 to publish 20 installments, seldom more than one set per year. Obviously a period of 16 years is a too long a time for publishing a book. It became increasingly difficult to keep the sponsors interested. Some may not even have lived to see the final installment printed. That is why there are only two complete copies worldwide in existence to our knowledge. Only the Vienna Library and the British Library seem to have complete sets. Since the sponsors held only loose prints in their hands it is easily understood why most of these prints did not survive. Print size: ca. 56 x 42 cm. (22 x 16.5")

Philibert-Louis Debucourt (1755-1832)

"La Rose mal defendue" "dessine et grave par Deboucourt peintre graveur" Stipple engraving, printed in fabulous colors. Painter and engraver: Philibert-Louis Debucourt (1755-1832) Öfter his own design Paris, dated 1794 Printing copper etchings not just black and white, but also in color was great advancement. In Europe it happened in the 18th century. Severall different plates were used, each with their own color. Debucourt was a master of this technique which needed great precision in order to arrive at a successful result. In this case he used the colors blue, red, rose and brown. The scene is typical for French gallantry. The young lady is more willing than it seems. But she is offering her cavalier a good measure of resistance to his courtship. His hat has rolled off his head, a chair has tumbled to the floor, a book and pillows became victims in the process of tangling. But she is firm, or makes believe that she is determined to keep her ãrose" well out of reach. Very French - if not international. Print is in very good condition. Margins with some faint spotting. 42,4 x 33,3 cm (ca. 16.7 x 13.1")

Rome. - "Tiburtina die statt" Das sechst alter der werlt. Lag. CXIII (113) Published in: Nuremberg Chronicle ("Weltchronik" (Liber Chronicarum) Author:  Hartmann Schedel. Published: Nuremberg, 1493

Rome. - "Tiburtina die statt" Das sechst alter der werlt. Lag. CXIII (113) Upper left: Portrait of "Secundus philozophus" Most likely holding in his hand the oldest depiction of looking glasses ever in print Type of print: Woodcut Color: Excellent hand coloring Published in: Nuremberg Chronicle ("Weltchronik" (Liber Chronicarum) Author:  Hartmann Schedel. Published: Nuremberg, 1493 Text: German edition. Relating text print below image. Tiburtina is nowadays a city fraction of the City of Rome. The text describes it as being mentioned by Strabo and Virgil, supposedly older than Rome and founded by Greek immigrants to Italy. This print is from the very rare GERMAN EDITION of the Nuremberg Chronicle, which was fist published in LATIN in May 1493 and, with a very small German edition, in December 1493. Since the publishers were located in Nuremberg, Germany, they felt they should also publish this important incunabula work in the German language. But among scholars in all of Europe, the Latin language was the common language for communication, while German had a much smaller radius. That's why the Latin edition was the larger of the two. The philosopher, upper left, is depicted with a pair of looking glasses in his hand. It may be safe to speak of the first ever depicted pair of glasses in print history. Reverse side: 9 portraits of, a medical doctor (holding up and viewing a glass of urine), one philosopher - Justinus, three heretics and three bishops, among them Apollinaris.

"Travels in Central America, Particularly in Nicaragua: With a Description of Its Aboriginal Monuments, Scenery and People, Their Languages, Institutions, Religion, & c., illustrated by numerous maps and coloured illustrations, by E. G. Squier, Late Charge-D'Affaires of the United States to the Republics of Central America" Volumes I and II. Published by D. Appleton & Co., New York, 1853. Volume I - 424 pages. Volume II - 452 pages Size. 8vo. There is an Ex Libris (see photo) inside the cover from William H. Bartlett. It was William H. Bartlett (1850-1918), a wealthy American business man purchased, in 1902, 205 000 acres of land near Vermejo in New Mexico from the Maxwell Land Grant Company.There he built three residences, one for himself and his wife, the Casa Grande, the other two for their two sons. Later he expanded this property to 300 000 acres. He named his vast possession The Vermejo Club, where, the most important business men regularly met and former US-presidents were guests as well as celebrities from Hollywood. Bartlett owned an important and valuable library. For his "Ex Libris" sticker he used the fire place of his mansion, Casa Grande, for background decoration. Ted Turner bought the property in 1996. The Casa Grande is still standing, and as far as we know, Ted Turner is using it as his residence in Vermejo. The set of two books we offer here were once part of Bartlett's library, which was dissolved after his death. Both volumes have Bartlett's original ãEx Libris". Please see photos. Hardcover, partially leather. Both books are in good, solid condition with signs of age and use on the covers. No loose pages. Texts and illustratons are in good, clean condition. On the page before or after each illustration is a light brown imprint from the colored lithograph. See photos.

Bird's Eye View of the City of New York. Anonymous chromolithograph showing the Island of Manhattan in its center from an angular aerial position.

Bird's Eye View of the City of New York. Anonymous chromolithograph showing the Island of Manhattan in its center from an angular aerial position. Manhattan's buildings details are nicely define, not just as a plan but each building showing its architectural specifications, windows, roof tops etc. Same is true of the buildings of Brooklyn, Jersey City and Hoboken. In the foreground we are looking at Governors-Island and a busy News York harbor with plenty of sail ships, paddle steamers and sailboats. To the left we are looking at the Hudson River, to the right we see the East River with spectacular Brooklyn Bridge spanning it. When it opened in 1883 it was the first fixed crossing of the East River and, world-wide, the longest suspension bridge, 1595 feet (486 m) long: An impressive piece of architecture! What makes this view of New York so special is the artist's dedication to detail. Unfortunately the chromo lithograph does not reveal the name of the artist, nor the publisher or the printing date. Since Brooklyn Bridge shows as finished architecture, we may assume that this spectacular view was printed in the mid 1880ies. We may also assume that it was printed in New York, probably as a commissioned piece of art, maybe by a N.Y. galerist. Condition: The chromolithograph is mounted on cardboard, a happy circumstance which helped to keep it unfolded. The lithograph has a transparent glossy surface, which protected it through all these years. Age has slightly darkened the original color. Condition specifics worth mentioning: Lower right margin corner is bent backward, only the extreme corner missing - however not interfering with image. There are minor scratches in the glossy surface and some other minor traces of age and use. All four margins have some rubbing. In general this large spectacular half bird's eye view of New York City is in better than good condition. Type of print: Chromolithograph Artist: Anonymous Publisher / Printer: Unknown Time of printing: Ca. 1885 1890 Measurements: 60,3 x 82 cm (ca. 23.7 x 32.3")
