    HELYOT, Pierre
    Ordres religieux, costumes de femmes. ‎Tableau historique d'après le Père Helyot

    Paris: Bouasse Lebel, 1839. First edition. A nice copy of this lithograph depicting 44 of the female religious orders. Hand coloured illustration, with notes on each below. A rare lithograph in this large format. The Museé d'Art Religieux dates the original of this to between 1714 and 1719. This hand coloured lithograph is #16 in a series for the Encyclopédie Bouasse Lebel - other lithographs from this series were produced in 1839. There was also a matching lithograph showing the male religious orders. Our copy is pasted onto a stiff mounting board (and has been mounted at some point) so it is a good, strong copy, without edgewear. A little darkening to the sheet only. A couple of the…

This hand coloured lithograph is #16 in a series for the Encyclopédie Bouasse Lebel - other lithographs from this series were produced in 1839. There was also a matching lithograph showing the male religious orders. Our copy is pasted onto a stiff mounting board (and has been mounted at some point) so it is a good, strong copy, without edgewear. A little darkening to the sheet only. A couple of the black habits have a touch of surface loss (easy not to notice) it looks as if the paint has been pressed against the glass frame at some point and left some behind. The design shows us the representatives of the monastic orders dressed in their particular costume, full-length, head-on, in front of a grotto and convent behind. Although the costumes are exact, there are variations depending on the convent. Sheet is 52 cm X 66 cm (20½ by 26 inches). picture area 31 cm x 61 cm.

    . Première édition. Bel exemplaire de cette lithographie représentant 44 des ordres religieux féminins. Illustration coloriée à la main, avec des notes sur chaque ordre ci-dessous. Une lithographie rare dans ce grand format. Le Musée d'Art Religieux date l'original de cette lithographie entre 1714 et 1719. Cette lithographie coloriée à la main est la 16e d'une série pour l'Encyclopédie Bouasse Lebel - d'autres lithographies de cette série ont été produites en 1839. Il y avait également une lithographie correspondante montrant les ordres religieux masculins. Notre exemplaire est collé sur un carton de montage rigide (et a été monté à un moment donné) ; il s'agit donc d'un bon exemplaire, solide, sans usure des bords. Un petit assombrissement sur la feuille seulement. Quelques habitudes noires présentent une légère perte de surface (facile à ne pas remarquer), comme si la peinture avait été pressée contre le cadre en verre à un moment donné et avait laissé des traces. Le dessin nous montre les représentants des ordres monastiques vêtus de leur costume particulier, en pied, de face, devant une grotte et un couvent à l'arrière. Bien que les costumes soient exacts, il y a des variations selon les couvents. La feuille mesure 52 cm x 66 cm (20½ x 26 pouces). La surface de l'image est de 31 cm x 61 cm.

    BURNEY Eugène after GAILLARD Ferdinand.
    PIUS X Pontifex Maximus

    Paris: Charles Wittman. A large and attractive engraving of Pope Pius X (Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto) Circa 1903. It is signed to the engraving "a monsieur Ch Wittmann, cordialement E Burney." To the base of the sheet, and in the same (or very similar) hand is written "gravée par Burnay, aprés C Gaillard." This is problematic. We can find no copies of this engraving online, but Burney and Gaillard often worked together, and Gaillard was Burney's teacher. BUT Gaillard died in 1887, years before the Elevation of Sarto to the Papacy. This work uses an identical frame / surround to Gaillard's portrait of Pius IX, which made his name.

We can find no copies of this engraving online, but Burney and Gaillard often worked together, and Gaillard was Burney's teacher. BUT Gaillard died in 1887, years before the Elevation of Sarto to the Papacy. This work uses an identical frame / surround to Gaillard's portrait of Pius IX, which made his name. (obviouisly the name panel has been updated). We suspect that Burney is paying homage to his tutor, in the use and credit of the frame and style. The engraving is in very good condition, with a good, deep impression. There is a little foxing to the edges of the sheet, and a couple of very small tears to the page edge. Francois Eugéne Burney (1845-1907) was a French engraver and illustrator. Ferdinand Gaillard (1834-1887). Chrales Wittmann was a Parisian Intaglio printer. He often worked with Burney, and presumably was also the printer of this sheet, which Burney has signed for him. Engraved panel is 49cm x 34cm. The sheet is 62cm x 46cm. First Edition.

    . Une grande et belle gravure du pape Pie X (Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto) datant de 1903. Elle est signée sur la gravure "a monsieur Ch Wittmann, cordialement E Burney". Au bas de la feuille, et de la même main (ou d'une main très similaire), est écrit "gravée par Burnay, aprés C Gaillard". Cette mention est problématique. Nous n'avons trouvé aucune copie de cette gravure en ligne, mais Burney et Gaillard ont souvent travaillé ensemble, et Gaillard était le professeur de Burney. MAIS Gaillard est mort en 1887, des années avant l'élévation de Sarto à la papauté. Cette œuvre utilise un cadre identique au portrait de Pie IX de Gaillard, qui a fait sa renommée. (évidemment, le panneau du nom a été mis à jour). Nous soupçonnons que Burney rend hommage à son tuteur, dans l'utilisation et la reconnaissance du cadre et du style. La gravure est en très bon état, avec une bonne impression profonde. Il y a un peu de rousseur sur les bords de la feuille, et quelques très petites déchirures sur le bord de la page. François Eugène Burney (1845-1907) était un graveur et illustrateur français. Ferdinand Gaillard (1834-1887). Chrales Wittmann était un imprimeur en taille-douce parisien. Il a souvent travaillé avec Burney, et a probablement été l'imprimeur de cette feuille, que Burney a signée pour lui. Le panneau gravé mesure 49 cm x 34 cm. La feuille mesure 62 cm x 46 cm. Première édition.

There is a little marking to the front of the art board, to the reverse / back sheet, there is quite a bit of marking (But this would be hidden on display). A scarce item, we can find no copies outside of institutions, and none at all of this "reversed image".

    . Très bel exemplaire de cette gravure de Schelte Adamsz Bolswert (le sculpteur et graveur) d'après l'original de Rubens. Publié par van Enden. Tenu sous passe partout. Au verso se trouve le timbre fiscal du département de l'Intérieur pour le Calvados. Le musée d'art Havard indique seulement qu'il s'agit d'une gravure du XVIIe siècle et cite les catalogues Hollstein 172 ; LeBlanc 13 ; Andresen 5. Nous soupçonnons qu'il s'agit d'une gravure plus tardive, car il n'y a pas de détails sur le graveur et l'artiste. De plus, l'image est inversée, de sorte que la Madone et l'enfant admirent une fontaine à droite plutôt qu'à gauche. Un très bel exemplaire propre, avec une bonne impression. Conservé dans une pochette de film d'archivage sous un grand passe partout. La gravure mesure 22 cm x 18 cm. Le Passe Partout mesure 50cm x 40cm. Il y a une petite marque au recto du carton d'art, au verso de la feuille, il y a pas mal de marques (mais cela serait caché lors de l'exposition).

This is a reprint of the 1569 prayer book, but brought up to date, with prayers for the Restoration of the Royal Family, Prayers for Charles the Martyr and prayers for Queen Victoria included.

This is a reprint of the 1569 prayer book, but brought up to date, with prayers for the Restoration of the Royal Family, Prayers for Charles the Martyr and prayers for Queen Victoria included. The Ornate binding is a little dulled and rubbed, but still attractive. Label lacking, so only shows the imprint. Unfortunately, the title page and frontis engraving of Elizabeth are also lacking (both are supplied in photocopy). The book thus begins with the contents page. The contents page is marked and with crayon. Otherwise the pages are clean, but a touch of darkening. Apart from the loss of title, the book is in decent condition. The final leaf has some ink staining. It would seem that the book has been re-cased without the missing leaves, as there is no sign of loss. Bears the bookplate of Stephen Lewin of Boston. Possibly the architect and town planner from Boston Lincolnshire. Mary Byfield of the Chiswick Press cut the blocks of this ornate and attractive book of Common Prayer. Unpaginated. a-AA5. 180 by 130mm (7 by 5 inches).

    . Première édition. Une réimpression ornée du livre de prières communes de la reine Élisabeth. Il s'agit d'une réimpression du livre de prières de 1569, mais mise à jour, avec des prières pour la restauration de la famille royale, des prières pour Charles le Martyr et des prières pour la reine Victoria. La reliure ornée est un peu ternie et frottée, mais reste attrayante. L'étiquette est manquante et ne montre donc que l'empreinte. Malheureusement, la page de titre et la gravure frontispice d'Elizabeth manquent également (les deux sont fournies en photocopie). Le livre commence donc par la page de garde. La page de garde est marquée et comporte des crayons de couleur. Sinon, les pages sont propres, mais il y a un peu de noircissement. Hormis la perte du titre, le livre est en bon état. Le dernier feuillet présente quelques taches d'encre. Il semblerait que le livre ait été ré-encadré sans les feuilles manquantes, car il n'y a pas de signe de perte. Porte l'ex-libris de Stephen Lewin de Boston. Peut-être l'architecte et urbaniste de Boston (Lincolnshire). Mary Byfield, de la Chiswick Press, a découpé les blocs de ce livre de prière commune orné et attrayant. Non paginé. a-AA5. 180 x 130 mm.
