    PIRINGER, B. d'aprés SALMON Jacques Pierre François.
    Vue de la ville d'Orléans prise de l'Ile Arrault

    Piringer, 1815. A lovely framed engraving of Orleans from the l'ille Arrault. Painted by Salmon in 1807, this was engraved by Piringer in 1815. In very good original uncoloured state. It is framed, under glass in a recent gilt and green mottled frame. The engraving is in good condition, with a little darkening to the plate. This is an unusual darkening, and looks as if it may be an intentional colour wash ? There appears to be a small (possibly) repaired tear to the bottom edge of the image. As it is on a line with the engraving it is barely noticeable (but see photos). Overall a very attractive and scarce view of Orleans. 55cm x 72cm. Jacques Pierre…

As it is on a line with the engraving it is barely noticeable (but see photos). Overall a very attractive and scarce view of Orleans. 55cm x 72cm. Jacques Pierre François Salmon (1781-1855) was a history painter and a landscaper, he was the student of Jean Bardin and Jean-Baptiste Regnault and was a drawing teacher at the Orléans high school. The Orléans Museum preserves some of his works.

    . Une belle gravure encadrée d'Orléans de l'ille Arrault. Peinte par Salmon en 1807, elle a été gravée par Piringer en 1815. En très bon état original non coloré. Elle est encadrée sous verre dans un cadre récent doré et vert chiné. La gravure est en bon état, avec un léger assombrissement de la plaque. Il s'agit d'un assombrissement inhabituel, qui semble être un lavis intentionnel ? Il semble qu'il y ait une petite déchirure (peut-être) réparée sur le bord inférieur de l'image. Comme elle se trouve sur une ligne avec la gravure, elle est à peine perceptible (mais voir les photos). Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'une très belle et rare vue d'Orléans. 55cm x 72cm. Jacques Pierre François Salmon (1781-1855) était un peintre d'histoire et un paysagiste, il fut l'élève de Jean Bardin et de Jean-Baptiste Regnault et fut professeur de dessin au lycée d'Orléans.

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.

    . Ces fabuleuses illustrations ont été réalisées par Lesueur et Alaux entre 1826 et 1828. Lithographie de Godefroy Engelmann. Elles ont été réunies à l'origine dans un portfolio de 14 planches (d'après FirstSearch - certaines sources indiquent 15 mais peuvent inclure un titre). Elles semblent avoir été publiées non colorées, et nous n'avons pas vu de planches originales proposées avec une coloration à la main. Chaque planche présentait une vue gravée d'une antiquité ou d'une scène romaine, suivie de plusieurs lignes de petit texte en français. (Il y a eu une reproduction non colorisée au 20e siècle, mais sans le texte). Nous proposons ici cinq de ces planches. Chacune a été colorée à la main à l'époque et est encadrée et glacée avec un passe-partout et un cadre doré simple plus récent. Ici, les vues ont une surface visible de 47 cm x 31 cm, sous un passe-partout de 49 cm x 59 cm, et sont placées dans un cadre de 53 cm x 62 cm. Le passe-partout présente une très légère ondulation sur chaque plaque, mais les vues sont en très bon état. Les cinq vues sont les suivantes Colonne élevée á L'Empereur Phocas (1826), bon état de conservation ; Temple de Mars-Vengeur (1826) très bon état de conservation, avec quelques très légères rousseurs dans la zone de texte ; Vue du Capitole (1827) en excellent état de conservation ; Vue du Portique d'Octavie (sans date), bon état de conservation ; et Vue du Forum Trajan (1828) en excellent état de conservation. C'est la seule image qui est horizontale plutôt que verticale. Godefroy Engelmann (1788-1839) : Lithographe imprimeur, peintre, dessinateur et inventeur. Originaire de Mulhouse, il fut un éditeur prolifique ; Jean-Paul Alaux (1788-1858), originaire de Bordeaux, était un lithographe et un peintre spécialisé dans les paysages et les vues antiques ; Jean-Baptiste-Cicéron Lesueur (1794-1883) était avant tout un architecte français, mais il a passé du temps à étudier l'architecture antique de Rome et a collaboré avec Alaux sur ce projet.

    As Ballett und Pantomime was produced not long after the end of WW1, Schnackenberg attracted attention with his creations. His figures and drawings make it clear that in dance and pantomime, the people felt they could reclaim the right to rejoice in the beauty of the body, in animated movement, in colour, in costume, in performance.
