Schmidt-Rottluffs „Russische Landschaften” sind wohl in Berlin nach Erinnerungen an die russische Landschaft entstanden, die der Künstler währen des Ersten Weltkrieges kennengelernt hat. In ihnen finden sich jedoch keinerlei Hinweise auf Krieg und Zerstörung, sondern sie zeigen ein geradezu idealisiertes, ländliches Idyll. In den „Russischen Landschaften” verschmelzen Erinnerungen und aktuelle Natureindrücke, wie der Künstler sie in den Sommermonaten des Jahres 1919 unter anderem in Hohwacht an der Lübecker Bucht in sich aufnimmt. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg ist in Schmidt-Rottluffs Schaffen eine erwartungsvolle Aufbruchstimmung spürbar. [JS] Aufrufzeit: 08.06.2024 - ca. 17.26 h +/- 20 Min.

Schmidt-Rottluff's 'Russian Landscapes' were probably created in Berlin after memories of the Russian landscape, which the artist had become acquainted with during the First World War. However, there are no references to war and destruction in them; instead, they depict an almost idealized rural idyll. In the 'Russian Landscapes', memories and current impressions of nature merge, as the artist absorbed them in the summer months of 1919 in, among other places, Hohwacht on the Bay of Lübeck. After the First World War, Schmidt-Rottluff's work is characterized by a spirit of optimism. [JS] Called up: June 8, 2024 - ca. 17.26 h +/- 20 min.

Von edlen gesteinen, edited by Michael Toxites, woodcut initials, light browning, some staining to title, ink library stamp to B3, later latin ink ownership inscription of Jonat ?Schreter to pastedown, contemporary blind-stamped pigskin over wooden boards, metal clasps, split to head of upper joint, some chipping and wear to head of spine and corners, small portion of repair to lower cover, soiled, [Sudhoff 120; VD 16 P 693; cf. Norman 149], 8vo, Strasbourg, Heirs of Christian Müller, 1570.*** Rare edition of this supplement to his Archidoxa, which 'includes tracts on the use of magnets in medicine, occult philosophy, the correct administration of medicine, and how to extract poisons from venomous animals' (Norman), as well as minerals and gemstones. The editor (born Johann Michael Schütz) was a physician, alchemist, poet laureate to Charles V, and follower of Paracelsus.
Native American language.- Nantes (Bernardo de) Katecismo Indico da lingua Kariris, first edition, with blank leaf Z7 but lacking final blank Z8, trimmed close at head, just touching a couple headlines, a3&4 with small stain, some very light browning and occasional spotting, small worm trace within final text f. and blank Z7 (no loss), lacking rear free endpapers, hinges cracked but holding, contemporary limp vellum, manuscript title to spine, toned, some light soiling, housed in cloth slip-case, [Sabin 5174 "very rare"], small 8vo, Lisbon, V. da Costa, 1709. *** A valuable witness to the now-extinct Karirí-Dzubucuá language of Brazil. Today, the roughly 4,000 ethnic Karirís are largely monolingual Portuguese speakers. The Catechism is printed with text in Portuguese and Karirí in parallel columns. Also included are two poems or “Spiritual Canticles" with text in Karirí and Portugese, as well as a longer explanation of the Catechism in Karirí.Provenance: Dom Pedro de Sousa Holstein, Duque de Palmela (1781-1850), first Prime Minister of Portugal (ink-stamp to title); Coll. Ang[?] (indistinct ownership inscription to title); C. R. Boxer (b. 1904), noted historian of Portuguese colonial history (ink ownership inscription to front free endpaper).
Broadside.- Aurora Borealis.- Account (An), of the Phœnomeon which appear'd at Elston, near Newark, March 7th. 1715/16, printed broadside, small marginal ink-stain, ex-Nottingham libraries with neat ink-stamp verso, laid down on paper, broadside c.280 x 170 mm., [1716]. *** Rare. Seemingly unrecorded. At the time this phenomena was seen across much of the country, and was believed to be meteor showers. Subsequent scientific researchers believe this to have been one of the most impressive aurora borealis ever seen in Britain. "About Twelve, a bright Globular Body appeared, as big as, and like the Sun at his Rising, but not quite so clear. Indeed it was the most astonishing sight I ever yet beheld. During this time, the Light was such that I my self (tho' now almost sixty Years of Age) and another Clergyman did read several Titles of the Books in the Bible, without any Use of Art."
Mountaineering.- Fellows (Charles) A Narrative of an Ascent to the Summit of Mont Blanc, first edition, presentation copy from the author to a lady, half-title, title vignette, 10 lithographs, 1 engraved chart, 1 facsimile, faint marginal spotting, ex-Nottingham libraries with withdrawn stamps to half-title and ink-stamp to title verso, modern endpapers, contemporary half-calf, rebacked, rubbed, [Neate F18], 4to, 1827. *** Of this edition only 50 were printed for private circulation. Neate says "Probably all copies were inscribed by the author", though it appears to be extremely rare to find a copy inscribed to a woman. Fellows and his companion Hawes were listed as the 13th group to ascend Mont Blanc, but were the first to attempt it by the "Corridor" and Mur de la Côte routes.
Broadside.- Napoleon.- Description of a Medal (A), in honor of Neapolone Bonaparte ... the First Consul of the French Republic ... and a Portrait of Madame Bonaparte, printed broadside, engraved illustrations, foldlines, one or two tears with neat repairs, small stain, laid down on paper, ex-Nottingham libraries with label verso and blind-stamp at head, c.385 x 235 mm., Nottingham, Sutton, [c.1800]. *** Rare. Seemingly unrecorded.
Broadside.- Australia.- Extract of a Letter, and a copy of Verses written by Valentine Marshall, now in Van Dieman's Land, to his Friends in Nottingham, printed broadside, woodcut portrait at head, crudely printed with some text obscured, lightly soiled, laid down on paper, ex-Nottingham libraries with neat ink-stamp to verso, broadside c.380 x 170 mm., Nottingham, J. Plant, [1834]. *** Rare. One similar, but with a different illustration, listed at the National Library of Australia. Valentine Marshall took part in the Nottingham Reform Riots of 1831, and was tried for the "rioting and burning of Colwick Hall", where he was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging, which was later commuted to transportation for life.
Execution broadside.- Australia.- More of the Horrors of Transportation: Giving the full Particulars of the dreadful condition of the Transports in Norfolk Island, Van Diemans' Land, New South Wales, &c, printed broadside, woodcut illustration to head, faint foldlines, fractionally rubbed, a little soiled, laid down on paper, ex-Nottingham libraries with neat ink-stamp to verso, c.370 x 245 mm., Nottingham, James Plant, [c.1839]. *** Rare. Seemingly unrecorded. An unusually in-depth record of transportation and convict life in Australia, including details of those held in Macquarie Harbour; Norfolk Island; Phillip's Island as well as a particularly gruesome account of cannibalism. Conditions for the convicts were so bad that the only escape for many would be to murder at random, ensuring they were seen, entirely in order to be convicted and executed. "A great number of these horrid men committed murder in order to be hanged indeed, the thing was quite common. They used to gamble for life; they would conclude to kill some person, to be hanged."
Execution broadside.- child rape.- Dying Speech, Confession, Life, Character and Behaviour of David Proctor (The), who was on this day ... executed on Nottingham Gallows, for committing a Rape on the Body of Charlotte Hemms, printed broadside, woodcut illustration of hanged man at head, one or two faint spots, laid down on paper, ex-library with remnants of blind-stamp to top edge, c.400 x 255 mm., [1797]. *** Rare. Seemingly unrecorded. Possibly one of the earliest execution trials or broadsides concerning child rape, which at this time legally meant a child under the age of 10. A grim but important document.
Schoener (Johann) Opera Mathematica, 3 parts in 1, first edition, collation: ?6, ?4, A-Z6, Aa-Cc6, Dd-Ee8, Ff-Mm6, Nn8; a-h6, i8, including errata, colophon and final blank leaf, but lacking 2 other blanks, Roman and Greek type, title printed in red and black with two large woodcut ornaments, woodcut printer's device at end, woodcut portrait of the author on ?4v, numerous woodcuts and diagrams, 4 full-page woodcuts, including terrestrial globe, celestial globe and planisphere, complete with eleven diagrams with working volvelles (although moveable parts supplied in later (?18th century) facsimile and thread renewed), woodcut initials, generally very fine, wide-margined copy, title gutter reinforced, quire R lightly browned, few other leaves toned, small wear to lower blank margin of b3v, tiny wormhole in blank outer margin of last several leaves, contemporary blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards, covers within two blind-stamped rolls, outer roll dated 1541 and depicting the Crucifixion, David, the Resurrection, and St. John, inner roll dated 1556 and showing Lucretia, Caritas, and Justicia, later stamp of Schola Altenburgensis printed in gold in centre of upper cover and in black on lower cover, some minor abrasion to binding, spine slightly chipped at head, corners lightly rubbed, folio (306 x 201mm.), Nuremberg, J. Montanus & U. Neuber, 1551.*** Rare and important work with a most distinguished provenance, in excellent condition and in its strictly contemporary binding. The Honeyman copy of the first edition of the collected works by Johann Schöner, mathematician, astronomer, cartographer, and scientific instrument maker from Karlstadt, in Bavaria.Schöner was a contemporary of Nicolaus Copernicus and in 1526 he became the first professor of mathematics at the University of Nuremberg. His most illustrious pupil was Georg Joachim Rheticus, who in the Narratio prima (1540) announced Copernicus' discoveries. Schöner was also active as a printer and even set up a press in his house, printing numerous previously unpublished works by Johannes Regiomontanus, as well as the first printed terrestrial globe to name the recently discovered continent of America.The Opera mathematica was published posthumously by his son Andreas and is introduced by a preface by the outstanding humanist and reformer Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560). The volume contains a representative sample of Schöner's wide and diverse interests, and a digest of some of his separately published works, most of which are extremely rare. Part 3 contains the most important section, which describes and illustrates eleven instruments, under the title Aequatorium Astronomicum, ex quo errantium stellarum motus, luminarium configurationes, & defectus colliguntur, a revised and enlarged version of the work which first appeared in 1521. The Aequatorium Astronomicum contains the earliest collection of printed equatoria-diagrams, as well as a catalogue of stars adapted by Schöner from that published by Copernicus in his De revolutionibus of 1543.The text is illustrated by an elaborate series of volvelles (movable wheel charts) used to determine planetary positions. Each part of these volvelles was printed on a separate page, such that the reader could cut them out or trace them on separate pieces of paper, and then assemble the various parts with string. These fragile 'paper instruments', which Schöner was among the first to employ, are frequently lacking or only partially present in most other copies of this work, and they are very often constructed incorrectly.Provenance: from the library of the Latin school in Altenburg, Germany (stamp on the binding 'Biblioth.

The banker Balthazar Azoguidus is the first name associated with the introduction of printing to Bologna. A contract from 1470 for a printing syndicate specifies that he would supply the paper, ink and compositors, while the humanist Francesco dal Pozzo would source texts and worked on sales, and Annibale Malpighi operated the presses. Works with Azoguidus's name appeared from 1471 until 1480. Petrus de Bergamo (1400-c.1482) was an Italian Dominican theologian, who taught at the Studio of Bologna, where he included Girolamo Savonarola among his pupils.Provenance: 1567 religious house ownership inscription to verso of penultimate f.; armorial ink stamps; Leo Samuele Olschki (1861-1940), Italian antiquarian bookseller and publisher (bookplate).Literature: BMC VI, 799; Goff P-450; HC(Add) 2816; GW M32088; Bod-inc P-199; BSB-Ink P-344; ISTC ip00450000.

Seemingly unrecorded. Account of storms affecting Manchester, Blackburn, Warrington, Longworth and Bolton. The storm was so bad that "One person met with his death from a thunderbolt which came down the chimney, and killed him as he sat in his house", and "Upwards of two thousand panes of glass were demolished in the hot-houses, green-house and pine pits of Robt. J. J. Norreys Esq, David Hulmes Hall, by the tremendous hail storm ...".

A SET OF SIX WEST COUNTRY QUEEN ANNE SILVER SPOONS, JOHN MURCH I OF PLYMOUTH, EXETER, 1707 Dog Nose pattern with plain rat-tail heels, later gilded, fully Britannia standard hallmarked, in a Victorian leather fitted case with gilt initials H.J.T. for Herbert James Torr, interior with gilt stamp for Elkington & Co., Liverpool, spoons 20cm long, 348gProvenance: Herbert James Torr JP (1864-1935), son of John Torr, MP for Liverpool from 1872 until his death in 1880; thence by family descent to the vendor.It is rare to find a set of six English Provincial spoons at this date, especially so with full marks. Apparently, following the introduction of the higher Britannia standard in 1696, Murch made his own Britannia marks, to suggest compliance, but was fined by the London Goldsmith's Company in 1699 for selling substandard wares. Working in Plymouth at the time these spoons were produced, one presumes John Murch submitted them for assay at Exeter at the correct standard. For further information on the silversmith see Miles Harrison, 'Exeter & West Country Silver 1700-1900', published by Berforts Group, 2014, p.164.The well-known firm of manufacturing silversmiths, Elkington & Co., as well as retailing their own wares, also on occasion dealt in antique silver. Given that they first opened retail premises in Liverpool in 1869 (Culme, Vol.I, p.141) it is likely this set of spoons were 're-conditioned' and gilded by Elkington prior to retail there sometime in the 1870s to either Herbert or John Torr.

Österreich - - Leopold Munsch. (1826 Wien - 1888 Pressburg). Stadtvilla im alten Wien an einem sommerlichen Tag. Um 1870. Öl auf Holzplatte. 36,5 x 50 cm. Signiert. Im goldfarbenen Rahmen mit Akanthusdekor gerahmt. Verso mit der Spur eines nicht identifizierten, alten Stempels. - Entlang der Kanten vereinzelt mit schwachem Farbabrieb als Spur der Rahmung. Verso das Holz mit kleineren Kratzern und Gebrauchsspuren. Insgesamt sehr gut. Sommerliche Ansicht eines Stadthauses in leuchtend-lebendigem Kolorit. Leopold Munsch widmete sich dem Zeichnen und der Malerei erst im Erwachsenenalter neben seiner ursprünglich angestrebten Tätigkeit als Beamter. Ausgehend von seiner Leidenschaft und seinem großen Talent, widmete er sich vollberuflich der Kunst ab ca. 1840. Künstlerisch war Munsch beeinflusst von seinen Wiener Kollegen, die sich auf Landschaftsmalerei konzentrierten: Anton Hansch, Joseph Holzer und Remigius Adrianus Haanen. Ab 1849 stellte Munsch in Ausstellungen regelmäßig aus. Stilistisch lassen sich seine Werke als naturalisierende Ansichten beschreiben, die er versiert durch Lichtakzente erweiterte und so stimmungsvolle Szenen schuf. Motivisch fokussierte er sich vor allem auf Gebirgslandschaften Südtirols und Salzkammergute, sodass unser Gemälde einer Stadtvilla ein seltenes Motiv darstellt. Oil on panel. Signed. Framed in a gold-coloured frame with acanthus decoration. On the verso with the trace of an unidentified old stamp. - Faint colour abrasion along the edges as a trace of the framing. On the verso the wood with minor scratches and traces of use. Very good overall. Summery view of a town house in bright, lively colours. - Leopold Munsch devoted himself to art full-time from around 1840 when he was already an adult. Artistically, Munsch was influenced by his Viennese colleagues who focussed on landscape painting: Anton Hansch, Joseph Holzer and Remigius Adrianus Haanen. Munsch exhibited regularly from 1849 onwards. Stylistically, his works can be described as naturalistic views which he skilfully enhanced with accents of light to create atmospheric scenes. In terms of motifs, he focussed primarily on the mountain landscapes of South Tyrol and the Salzkammergut, making our painting of a city villa a rare motif.
