Thimm p.260; Pardoel 2365. The collation of a complete example is [22],376pp. Besides fencing, the engravings show gymnastic training on the horse and various wrestling techniques. Johann Andreas Schmidt was a German fencing master born circa 1650 in Marienberg, Germany. Sometime after 1671 (or after 1675), he studied fencing under the fencing master Johann Georg and Johannes Georgius Bruchius in Amsterdam. Schmidt's impressive fencing abilities were illustrated by a story that in 1712, as a result of a bet of 10 ducats, armed only with a stick, he took on "six strong farmers" in Altdorf in the area of Nuremberg and defeated them all, thus winning the bet. The following year, in 1713, he established his own fencing school in Nuremberg. In 1721 Georg Wilhelm von Brandenburg-Bayreuth (1678-1726) the ruler of Bayreuth appointed Schmidt as a Page Fencing Master following the successful defeat and disarming of two fencing masters. He was awarded the appointment as a Page Fencing Master with a wage of 1,000 guilders. After the death of his patron probably after 1726, Schmidt returned to Nuremberg to continue his teachings. He then moved to teach in both Stuttgart and finally in Tübingen, where he died.

The entertaining picture of the pirate ship appears not to have been published. The second item is a preparatory drawing for 'Faithful John', one of the tales contained in the first Folkard edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales , which was published by A. & C. Black in 1911. The Folkard Font was designed by the artist and used extensively both by him and others, its popularity resulting in a version which is still in use today. The Folkard Font has swashed capital letters and variant forms of a number of the letters and has become popular as a font for book covers and merchandising, particularly in association with fairy and fantasy subject matter. Charles Folkard owned a seaside cottage, which he and his son built, at Winchelsea in Sussex, and the clapperboard house drawings in this lot were almost certainly executed there.
