Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (1606-1669) - The Artist's Mother, head-and-bust length, three-quarters right, signed with monogram: RHL [Rembrandt Harmensz Leydensis] and dated 1628 (2 transposed) within the plate, second state, etching and burin drypoint, on laid paper without watermark, sheet 7.1 x 6.9cm, plate mark 6.6 x 6.3cm, [B. 354; Hind 1; New Hollstein 5 ii/iv] Provenance: 1) Faint collector's stamp to verso, early-mid 19th c; almost certainly E.F. within an circle and if so, Eduard Faesch (1812-1845), a Kiel merchant and art collector (L.846). His stamp is noted 'found not only on prints, but also on good drawings (e.g. by Rembrandt)', as many international institutions' collections demonstrate. 2) Contemporaneous and later pencil manuscript inscriptions, to verso of sheet and mounting.     Roelof van Straten states this early etching by Rembrandt is one of the first to be signed by the artist with his RHL monogram. The backward "2" is indicative of Rembrandt's incomplete control of the plate's reversal during the printing process. 'The subtlety of modelling and the extensive vocabulary of descriptive strokes suggest an unexpected level of graphic sophistication for an etching of such an early date. [...] The Fact that Rembrandt signed and dated this etching indicates that although he may have initially undertaken the project as an exercise, he ultimately decided to market it. [...] [A] print that shows [...] technical mastery or subtlety of stroke' (Rosenberg, Rembrandt's Religious Prints, 2017, p. 438-39). Please see online images. A clean and even impression. Each corner with blemishes of varying degrees, presumably from former mounting, and now, in places, affecting the image within the plate mark. When examined on a lightbox, the lower-left corner margin appears thinned, but is OK and structurally sound; also, the sheet shows browned portions not generally visible in natural light. The indistinct collector's stamp could be a result of being washed. Currently hinge-mounted to a sheet of annotated card.

Webber, John (1751/2-1793) [Views in the South Seas] London: J. Webber, No. 312 Oxford Street, 1788-92. 16 soft-ground etched plates with grey and sepia wash (sheet size 56.9 x 39cm, plate size 44.5 x 32.5cm), each signed ‘J. Webber’ in the plate, on wove paper watermarked J Whatman (without dates), most with tissue-guards, without text as issued [Beddie 1871; cf. Abbey Travel 595 & Beddie 1869-70 & 1872, Tooley 501]. Bound with an extensive set of the engraved plates from James Cook and James King, A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean, 1784. 65 in total (of 87), including folding general map (numbered 1), one other folding chart (36), Death of Cook plate (unnumbered), and plates numbered 4, 6-8, 10-11, 13-18, 20-23, 25-30, 31, 33, 35, 38-43, 45-52, 54, 56-58, 60-68, and 70-78, occasional spotting to margins, heavier and more widespread spotting to chart (36), Death of Cook plate and plate 78, plate 21 tissue-guard ripped, many tissue-guards adhering at points to verso of facing plate.Binding: contemporary red half morocco, spine lettered in gilt ('Prints to Cook & King's Voyage'), marbled sides, light wear to extremities Glasgow Philosophical Society (ink-stamp to verso of folding chart). The extremely rare true first edition of John Webber's spectacular suite of views from Cook's third and final voyage, apparently the only complete copy ever offered at auction, depicting scenes in New Zealand, Macao, Krakatoa, Kamchatka, Tahiti, Moorea, and Pulo Condore in what is now Vietnam.Webber was the official draughtsman on the voyage and issued these 16 views privately during the years leading up to his death. Whereas his drawings for Cook and King's Voyage to the Pacific Ocean, published in 1784, had been engraved by other artists, for Views in the South Seas he learnt the soft-ground etching process in order to make the plates himself. The work has consequently been identified as one of the first works in the now revered tradition of illustrated accounts of exotic lands by artists who were involved in every stage of the production process, exemplified by the Daniells' Oriental Scenery (1795-1814): these artists ‘saw the sights, drew the pictures and worked them up, then back in Europe carried out the processes of plate preparation, and supervised the printing and colouring. This elimination of all intermediaries gave these works immediacy and vastly improved accuracy' (Gerstle & Milner, eds., Recovering the Orient, 1994, pp. 118-19). In 1808 Webber's views were republished by Boydell with the addition of hand-colouring and text, and with Boydell's imprint on each plate.A copy of Webber's edition containing 15 of the 16 plates was offered at Christie's, 8 April 2009, and a set of 12 loose plates appeared at Sotheby's in 1960. The Abbey collection contained a copy of Boydell's edition only.
