    Vues choisies des monumens antiques de Rome, Lithographie de Engelmann Colonne élevée á L'Empereur Phocas / Temple de Mars-Vengeur / Vue du Capitol / Vue du Portique d'Octavie / Vue du Forum Trajan

    These fabulous illustrations, were created by Lesueur and Alaux between 1826 and 1828. Lithography by Godefroy Engelmann. They were originally gathered in a portfolio of 14 plates (according to FirstSearch - some sources state 15 but may be including a title). They seem to have been issued uncoloured, and we have seen no original plates offered with hand colouring. Each plate was presented with an engraved view of a roman antiquity or scene, and then several lines of small text in French below. (There was a 20th Century uncoloured reproduction but this is without the text). Here we offer five of the plates. Each has the contemporary hand colouring, and is framed and glazed with passe partout and a more…

Each plate was presented with an engraved view of a roman antiquity or scene, and then several lines of small text in French below. (There was a 20th Century uncoloured reproduction but this is without the text). Here we offer five of the plates. Each has the contemporary hand colouring, and is framed and glazed with passe partout and a more recent simple gilt frame. Here the views have a visible area of 47cm x 31cm, beneath a passe partout of 49cm x 59cm, and held within a frame of 53cm x 62cm. The passe partout has a very slight wave to each plate, otherwise they are in fine condition. The five views are: Colonne élevée á L'Empereur Phocas (1826), good clean condition; Temple de Mars-Vengeur (1826) very good clean condition, with a few very light foxing spots to the text area; Vue du Capitole (1827) in excellent clean condition; Vue du Portique d'Octavie (No date), good clean condition; and Vue du Forum Trajan (1828) In excellent condition. This is the only picture which is horizontal rather than vertical. Godefroy Engelmann (1788-1839): Lithographer printer, painter, designer and inventor. From Mulhouse, he was a prolific publisher; Jean-Paul Alaux (1788-1858) from Bordeaux, was a lithographer and painter who specialised in landscape and antique views; Jean-Baptiste-Cicéron Lesueur (1794-1883) was primarily a French architect, but spent some time studying the ancient architecture of Rome and collaborated with Alaux on this project. Conforms to OCLC Number / Unique Identifier: 1061143512. FirstSearch shows only one library with the portfolio.

    N. D. PHOT
    Vues De Paris - Photogravures De N. D. Phot.

    J. Réségotti (Editeur), 1906. First edition. In what appears to be crocodile or snake skin covers. The Parisian publishing house of the brother photographers Étienne and Louis-Antonin Neurdein (1846–1914) was founded in Paris ca. 1885 and published postcards marked with an ND logo. However, Étienne already had begun publishing postcards in 1875 under the firm name Neurdein et Cie (founded by Étienne in 1864.) In 1887, both brothers ran the company, which was known as Neurdein Frères and as ND. Phot. beginning in 1906. In 1915, the name became Neurdein, and then again, from 1916 to 1918, Neurdein & Cie.

The Neurdein company was the largest French publisher of postcards of the time. By the turn of the century, they were being funded by the French government to produce images and postcards of Algeria in order to promote colonial tourism and stimulate private investment. Dans ce qui semble être en peau de crocodile ou de serpent. La maison d'édition parisienne des frères photographes Étienne et Louis-Antonin Neurdein (1846-1914) a été fondée à Paris ca. 1885 et des cartes postales publiées marquées d'un logo ND. Cependant, Étienne avait déjà commencé à publier des cartes postales en 1875 sous la raison sociale Neurdein et Cie (fondée par Étienne en 1864.) En 1887, les deux frères dirigent l'entreprise, qui s'appelle Neurdein Frères et ND. Photo. à partir de 1906. En 1915, le nom devient Neurdein, puis de nouveau, de 1916 à 1918, Neurdein & Cie. La société Neurdein est le plus grand éditeur français de cartes postales de l'époque. Au tournant du siècle, ils étaient financés par le gouvernement français pour produire des images et des cartes postales de l'Algérie afin de promouvoir le tourisme colonial et de stimuler l'investissement privé.

  • Warne's Picture Puzzle Toy Books. Holiday Fun by [ANON]
    [ANON]
    Warne's Picture Puzzle Toy Books. Holiday Fun

    London: F. Warne & Co: [1870]. First Edition. Illustrated publisher's soft covers. Undated but late 19th century (1870). Six charming colour plates depicting children enjoying Christmas and other holidays. The idea was for a child to cut out and glue the figures from separate sheets (not included) on to the scenes to complete the pictures. Or, it is suggested, the blanks could be hand coloured. There is a note to say: Gum Arabic dissolved in boiling water is the best material to make the cut-out figures adhesive. 12 pages. 265 x 230 mm (10½ x 9 inches). Covers are a little soiled, and have moderate edge wear. Four pages are complete, and two partially complete. Signs of sheen from dried glue on some pages, and on back cover.

    Wester Kerk from Beschryvinge van Amsterdam
