Jacobus de Rubeis (1626- 1691), the most important Italian publisher at the time, was
also known as Giacomo de Rossi. With his brother Domenico and father Giuseppe they
owned four print shops in Rome. These etchings by Pietro Santi Bartoli are after the
monochromes by Giulio Romano in the basamenti of the Sala di Costantino in the
Vatican Palace. An annotated copy in the George Clarke Print Collection at Worcester
College indicates the position of each picture in the decorative scheme, with reference
to Giovanni Pietro Bellori’s ‘Descrizzione delle Imagini dipinte da Rafaelle d’
Urbino...’ (1695).

Sir Balthasar Gerbier, born c1591 in Middleburg, aquired his artistic training in
Germany, and came over to England with the Dutch ambassador in 1616 as an architect,
decorator, portraitist and general art adviser. He was engaged by the Duke of
Buckingham to advise upon and negotiate the formation of his vast art collections, to
decorate his houses, and almost certainly to build York House. After the Duke’s death
in 1628, he was naturalised and entered the service of Charles I as an envoy to the
Netherlands, a role for which he was knighted in 1638. In addition to practising as an
artist, he wrote numerous pamphlets and in 1649 opened an Academy which offered
instruction in a variety of subjects from art to courtly manners.

“It is the first architectural treatise of the seventeenth century to propose a fresh look at
earlier architectural treatises.” [Millard, 76].

£420.00
A revised edition of this comprehensive work on artistic practices of the seventeenth
century, providing a wealth of detail on tools, techniques and materials. The work is also
one of the earliest to give advice on the hanging of pictures, offering suggestions for the
subjects appropriate for the different rooms in a house.
“... in the Bed-chamber, put your own, your wives and childrens pictures; as only
becoming the most private Room, and your Modesty: lest (if your wife be a beauty) some
wanton and libidinous guest should gaze too long on them, and commend the work for
her sake...”
This edition contains a new chapter on Laying prints upon Glass lifted more or less
verbatim from Stalker and Parker.

numbered in an early hand and with the gilt stamp of the Foljambe family to the foot of each.
Some marginal browning and slight dustiness to the titles, but a very good collection in excellent
contemporary state. A neat note at the head of the first paste-down records the purchase of the
volumes in 1728 for 15s - 3d.
12mo. Amsterdam, Estienne Roger. 1706.
£450.00
The Entretiens is “by far the most important
of Felibien’s contributions to artistic
theory...comprising a series of biographies,
of varying lengths, of the most significant
figures in Western European art from
antiquity to (his) own day, interspersed with
theoretical excursus, and attempting to
establish an overall critical framework.
They are profoundly concerned with the
discussion of questions of theory (and)
reveal a personal enthusiasm for painting
which may come into conflict with received
opinion. It is, above all, this breadth of
sympathy which makes Felebien more
attractive than any of his contemporaries.”
(Claire Pace, Felibien’s Life of Poussin,
pp63-64).
Provenance: The Foljambe
family, of Osberton, Nottinghamshire.

NEVE, Richard. The City and Countrey

8vo. D. Browne. 1726.
£550.00
Harris suggests that the anonymous editor
is most probably John Ozell. “To make the
dictionary ‘fit for Gentlemen’s Use, as the
former edition was for Workmen’, Ozell
has carefully corrected Neve’s quotations
from Wotton and increased the number of architectural terms....” pp 332.

to the joints and head and tails, and one plate neatly repaired on the verso. Some slight foxing.
Armorial bookplate of J.K. Brooke.
8vo. for W. Russel. 1750.
£495.00
The seventy four letters, covering the first ten years of Russel’s life in Rome upto
November 1749, present in microcosm the ambitions, frustrations and compromises
necessary for a none too talented artist to survive in Italy in the mid-eighteenth century.
Russel was an artist not embarking on the Grand Tour, but rather attempting to provide
a service to the more wealthy travellers who passed through the city. By turns a copyist,
antiquarian, guide or travelling companion, his letters to his father, brother and sisters
both detail his scholarly research as well as a wealth of lively observations on Italian life
and customs. see Ingamells p.830.

4to. Bowles & Carver. c1795.
£850.00
A rare and unusual pattern book of particular use to ‘hair workers’ - for whom Terry also
announces on the title-page his recently published work, ‘Allegorical Hair Devices’.
Advertisements for jewellery with devices, mottoes, and cyphers, incorporating hair,
began to proliferate, especially in America, in the later 18th century. For example, in
1793 Samuel Folwell of Philadelphia advertised that he would instruct his students in
“that curious Art of working Devices in human Hair, in which he has long had
professional Practice in this City...and those who discover a natural Propensity to this
polite Art, no Attention shall be wanting, to enable them to delineate Nature in every
striking Form.” The use of hair in jewellery was almost like a relic, and the incorporation
of a cypher would have been an essential feature of such a personal memento.

£600.00
In 1770 John Carr the architect and Lord Mayor of York surveyed the Minster fabric, and
from the scaffolding then erected to repair the building, artists were able to produce
measured, architectural views of the greatest value to architects... Joseph Halfpenny, a
local draughtsman, became Carr’s clerk of works, and he etched many detailed drawings
on 105 plates to form his Gothic Ornaments published in 20 parts between 1795 and
1800. Halfpenny’s magnificent production was one of the earliest contributions to the
development of the gothic revival in England, and quoting from William Chambers in
his preface notes that “of Gothic Architecture [he] speaks in terms of the highest
respect... with a view to encourage and bring forward an undertaking so warmly
recommended I have been induced to exhibit this selection of Gothic Ornaments...”

FORES, [S.W.] Fores’s New Chalk Drawing-Book of Studies of Trees, Landscape,

for students, & well selected. Parts 1 and 2. Each part contains 4 large soft ground etched
plates, numbered 1-8. Each has a very large and detailed printed paper label on the upper
wrapper. Original sugar paper wrappers in excellent and completely original state. Some minor
old marginal waterstaining and foxing.
oblong folio. S.W. Fores, no 50 Piccadilly, Jan 1st 1801 - April 1st 1801.
£480.00
The paper labels provide a wonderful insight into the range of activities at Fores’s
Drawing Library in Piccadilly. He was at the centre of the publication and distribution
of caricatures in late 18th century London, proclaiming to stock “the largest collection
of caricatures in Europe” at his Caricature Warehouse. He worked closely with
Rowlandson, publishing his Outlines of Figures in 1791-2.
His own publications are very elusive, and none are recorded by ESTC. His New Chalk
Drawing-Book was probably intended to be issued in two volumes, as indicated by the
deletion of this information from the head of the label of a copy of part 9 which we sold
in 1999. It may have just circulated in this ephemeral form, and although we have sold
several other parts from this work, we can trace no record of any bound volume.

First published in Brighton in 1815, Miss Cleaver’s process involved the use of glazed
crayons. “Without further deliberation, and with a sort of childish eagerness, I
immediately melted a quantity of bee’s wax and poured it over the face of the picture with what success may be easily imagined. After spoiling by similar expedients all the
rough calf bindings that fell in my way, I had to look out for some new material to paint
upon....”

By the second quarter of the nineteenth century both stipple
engraving and aquatint, regarded by Fielding as an art ‘invented
for the torment of man’, were no longer widely used by publishers
for large-scale reproductive engravings. Line engraving with its
‘beautiful but more or less mechanical arrangement of lines’ was
also losing ground to the freer style attainable through
lithography. The manufactured demand for the ‘beautiful
productions of our best engravers’ through literary annuals ‘flung
with a prodigal hand before the public, at a price for which they
should never have been sold, and which only an excessive sale
could render profitable’, had outpaced both the supply of
engravers and the speed with which such fine plates could be
executed. It was therefore to an adaptation of the tonal
characteristics offered by the eighteenth century mezzotint that
artists such as Fielding turned, to offer a speedier means of
producing the softer tonal qualities demanded by the lastest taste.
Written in the midst of this period of technical experimentation
Fielding’s manual is particularly important in detailing the
engraver’s response to new commercial pressures.

“The first book to have a chapter solely devoted to all aspects of photography” (Quayle).
Particular reference is made to J.N. Niepce, who took the first photograph in 1826, but
whose achievement was not made public until 1841, and there is also a section on
Daguerre. “...contains information on what were then the most up-to-date matters,
including lithography and electrography. Fielding quotes Partington extensively,
almost verbatim in parts, describing his source as a “celebrated work on engraving”, but
he commences with a highly critical view of steel engraving and its evils, having very
little to say in its favour. [Fieldings book] was used extensively a year or two later by
W.L. Maberley, who published The Print Collector in 1844.” from Hunnisett p34. see

At the age of 21 Carter, a silk weaver, fell 40 feet from a tree and was paralysed. “Having
accidentally learned that a young woman who had lost the use of her hands had learned
to draw with her mouth, he resolved if possible to turn his artistic gifts to account in a
similar way. By dogged perseverance he mastered all the technicalities of drawing
without personal instruction, and acquired such proficiency as would have done credit
to him even had he possessed the use of his hands. He devoted himself chiefly to linedrawing, and, by holding the pencil or brush between his teeth, was able to produce the
most accurate and delicate strokes. With the help of an attendant to supply his materials,
he produced drawings of great beauty and of thorough artistic finish in every detail.” The
frontispiece depicts him at work, and also illustrated his desk and pencils. This is a

“The former edition of this History of Wood Engraving having become extremely scarce

accompanied the former edition, and are here reprinted, that there was some existing
schism between the joint producers at the first time of publication. Mr Jackson, the
engraver, paymaster, and proprietor, conceived that he had the right to do what he liked
with his own; while Mr Chatto, his literary coadjutor, very naturally felt that he was

“On 1 January 1806 Galpine published A Synoptical Compend of British Botany, his
translation of Compendium Florae Britannicae (1800) by Sir James Edward Smith (the
abridgement of Smith’s Flora Britannica, 1800, 2 vols.). Galpine’s Compend
comprised all Smith’s genera, including those in the third volume of Flora Britannica
(1804), except the cryptogams. It gave references to illustrations, mostly in English
Botany (1790–1814, 36 vols.) by J. Sowerby and J. E. Smith, and was designed for
taking on botanizing excursions, using its tabular check-list arrangement in the new,
pocket-size, duodecimo format. Galpine’s death at Blandford Forum on 6 January 1806
delayed republication. The publisher Samuel Bagster undertook a second edition
(1819), augmented with 200 cryptogams by a member of the Linnean Society. There
were two further editions in 1829 and 1834. Galpine was buried at Blandford on 10
January 1806.” (DNB)

hamlets, & smallest places in England Alphabetically sett down, as they bee in every
shire.” The maps were engraved by Jacob van Langeren, and are probably adapted from
a set of playing card maps published by William Bowes in 1590. This work was the first
pocket-sized road atlas, this 1650 issue being even smaller than the earlier editions. The
maps take second importance and are incorporated into tables of distances, which for the
traveller would have been of prime interest when on the road. An unusually clean copy
for a book of his nature.

plates. Bicknell 19.2, noting that although announced as a second edition, there are no
alterations other than page number corrections.
folio. for the Author. 1789.
Clarke’s elegant large-scale maps were intended to provide tourists and artists with the
ideal ‘stations’ or prime viewpoints from which they could best enjoy, or sketch the
lakes. Each map has an ornamental title, some include views, and they are much clearer
than the smaller octavo maps produced by Clarke’s bitter rival, Peter Crosthwaite. They
are accompanied by a lively and anecdotal text.

“The first publication which can be looked upon as a book of Lake District pictures,
the first of the drawing-room-table books, was Views of the Lakes (1789) by Joseph
Farington.” Bicknell p.15. The text was almost certainly supplied by William
Cookson of Penrith, Wordsworth’s maternal uncle.
The two title-pages have been bound at the front, and the Farington plates and text interspersed
through the Clarke’s Survey. Nineteenth century calf. Some occasional foxing, and neat repairs

First published in 1778, this book was dedicated to “lovers of landscape studies and to
all who have visited or intend to visit the lakes”, and was the earliest guide to picturesque
mountain scenery. For nearly half a century it was carried by almost every visitor to the
Lakes’. [Bicknell p.33]. After his death the Guide was edited, a map added, and the text
greatly enlarged by William Cockin who added a series of Addenda, forming a handy
anthology of pre-1780 accounts including Brown’s Description, Dalton’s Descriptive
Poem, Gray’s Journal and Cumberland’s Ode to the Sun, all extolling Keswick and its
Lake.

“The work of William Green marks a turning point in the way people looked at the Lakes.
Before his time, artists such as William Gilpin came in search of ‘The Picturesque’ - of
a view that would look good in a picture. Topographical accuracy was of little
importance... Green, too, catered for the visitors. His Tourist’s New Guide, published
in 1819, was the first of the Highways and Byeways type of book in the Lakes, leading
the traveller up every dale and over every pass. He drew a good deal from Thomas
West’s earlier Guide to the Lakes, but he is much more pedestrian than West, less
concerned with the aesthetic and antiquarian aspects of landscape.”

Although Gilpin’s tour was made just one year after the publication of Samuel Johnson’s
Journal there is little relationship between the two works, either geographically or
philosophically. Gilpin followed what was known as “The Short Tour of Scotland” a
circular route from Edinburgh to Glasgow which did not venture further north than
Taymouth, chosen perhaps because on this trip he was accompanied by his wife and
young son. The journey, undertaken in haste, was to be his last picturesque tour, and any
observations on Dr Johnson’s remarks do not appear by the time the book was published
in 1789. They would have seemed largely irrelevant by 1790 when Scotland’s barren
landscapes were attracting visitors in numbers that would have totally bewildered
Johnson.
Provenance: Armorial bookplate of Rev. William J.G. Phillips, Eling, Hants. In his will,
William Gilpin provided a fund for the endowment of a school at Boldre, in Hampshire,
and appointed three beneficed clergy to oversee its provisions. The parish of Eling was
one of those chosen, and it is likely that the Rev. Phillips was a trusted friend and
neighbour of the author.

Pomponius Mela (fl cAD 43). Little is known of the author except his name and
birthplace—the small town of Tingentera or Cingentera in southern Spain, on Algeciras
Bay. The general views of the De Situ Orbis mainly agree with those current among
Greek writers from Eratosthenes to Strabo; the latter was probably unknown to Mela.
But Pomponius is unique among ancient geographers in that, after dividing the earth into
five zones, of which two only were habitable, he asserts the existence of antichthones,
inhabiting the southern temperate zone inaccessible to the folk of the northern temperate
regions from the unbearable heat of the intervening torrid belt. On the divisions and
boundaries of Europe, Asia and Africa, he repeats Eratosthenes; like all classical
geographers from Alexander the Great (except Ptolemy) he regards the Caspian Sea as
an inlet of the Northern Ocean, corresponding to the Persian and Arabian (Red Sea) gulfs
on the south.

century trip 1657-1659, by R.M., a merchant-traveller, who lived part of his life in Spain
before travelling to the West Indies, and who notes that he has “the King of Spain’s
Licence for coming thither”. It was published in the period immediately following the
establishment of the South Sea Company in Buenos Ayres, and provides a great deal of
information on the silver mines and other commercial possibilities of the area. A
succession of colonial Spanish governors had their official residences built on what
today is the Plaza San Martin, and in 1713, the land was sold to the British South Sea
Company. The South Sea Company operated their slave trade out of the former
governor’s residence, and in 1727 an Act was passed to enable the South Sea Company,
with the licence and consent of the East India Company, to take in Negroes within their
limits of trade, and to deliver the same at Buenos Ayres.”

“A gentleman who has much at heart the interest of the greatest Company in the world,
having acquainted me, that in all his reading he had met with no account so satisfactory
about Rio de la Plata, and the countries adjacent, especially in relation to trade, as is
contain’d in this small treatise; I have ventur’d to print it, and make bold to dedicate it
to your Honourable Court, in hopes of your favourable acceptance of it. The MerchantTraveller who writ it, having advanc’d nothing but what he himself transacted and saw;
it carries an air of truth beyond what we commonly find in other travellers.”

By the time Caroline had reached Italy in her voyage abroad after the opening of the
Continent, and through the ministry’s relief to see her “safely” out of sight, she had put
on considerable weight, assumed a black wig she purchased in Geneva, drawn in black
eyebrows and coarsened her skin to make it ruddy. Her attempts to look non-British and
yet theatrically royal only made her look more eccentric than usual. One former
acquaintance on seeing her again wrote that her expression was “alternately of studied
dignity and of an insouciant nonchalance,” presumably her interpretation of her two
main roles: courtly lady and society hostess. She gave a masquerade ball for the King
and Queen of Naples at their own court, dressing as Fame and decorating one room as a
Temple of Glory with a bust of the King crowned with laurel. Her political enthusiasms

were matched by her sexual ones: during the Neopolitan Carnival she costumed as a
devil and as an “immodest Sultana,” her dress often improper and extravagant, evidence
of her peccadilloes later gathered by George’s agents to use against her. G. Humphry
published a caricature of Caroline in 1820, entitled: The Genius of History or dressing
for a Masked Ball at Naples.

ESTC T5748, Griffith 347. First edition, with the reading ‘amiss’ line 3 page 5.
In this advice against adultery, Pope “presents his friend Allen, Earl Bathurst, as a ‘right
reasonable Peer’ who, in his choice and entertainment of women ‘asks no more’ than
‘not to wait too long, nor pay too dear’. And then Bathurst (or is it Pope himself)
confirms his rakish tastes in this outburst:
‘Give me a willing Nymph! ‘tis all I care,
Extremely clean, and tolerably fair,

Her shape her own, whatever shape she have,
And just that white and red which nature gave,
Her I transported touch, transported view,
And call her Angel! Goddess! Montague!’
The personal compliment in the last line [has] been assigned to Lady Mary Wortley
Montagu, with whom Pope had been feuding for more than a decade before this poem
was published and who he had repeatedly described as more than ‘willing’ but certainly
less than ‘extremely clean’. ref: A. Williams, who also offers other identities for the
‘lady’ in Pope’s poem. (The Angel, Goddess, Montague, of Pope’s Sober Advice to
Horace’, Univ of Chicago Press, 1973).

in the preface that “the reason of printing these sermons, arises altogether from the
favourable reception, which the sermon given as a sample of them in Tristram Shandy,
met with from the world.” Six years later the pattern was repeated with the 1750 sermon
being added to a further collection of eleven as The Sermons of Mr Yorick, volumes III
and IV. No more were published in his lifetime, then in 1769, a year after his death, his
widow and daughter, faced with spiralling debts, published
three more volumes under the title Sermons of the late Rev.

First published in 1760 and translated by Frances Brooke, this edition is scarce, ESTC
recording 3 copies only, BL, Library of Congress, and Illinois. Francis Brooke, (17241789). She married John Moore Brooke in 1756, their first child was born in 1757, and
later that same year her husband was appointed chaplain to the British Army in Canada,
a post he was to hold throughout the Seven Years War. It was thus for financial as well
as personal motives that in 1760 she decided to publish her English translation of Marie
Jeanne Riccoboni’s 1759 French bestseller. The French authoress was highly popular
and her style was much admired for its purity and fine detail, thus making her novel an
ideal, and indeed profitable, choice for her struggling English counterpart. Aimed at the
genteel female reader this translation is important in introducing Riccoboni’s epistolary
style (a novel written in a sequence of letters) to an English readership.
