SCOTLAND – ROSSLYN CHAPELCollection of drawings, manuscripts and engravings assembled by publisher and antiquarian John Britton (1771-1857), relating to the architecture and restoration of Rosslyn Chapel, Midlothian, held in an album, comprising: i) Three pen and ink architectural drawings drawn, annotated and numbered by artist David Roberts, namely 'Section of the Chancel...', 'Ground Plan of the Chancel...', 'Termination of the ground arch in the South aisle of Roslin Chapel', demonstrating, according to the covering letter '...reasons by which I came to the conclusion that the East Wall was removed at least two feet outwards...', black ink on pale blue laid paper with additions in red ink, all 230 x 180mm., [1846]; twelve drawings by architect Joseph Gandy depicting scaled ground plans, profiles and architectural details for inclusion in Britton's Architectural Antiquities of Great Britain, some annotated in pencil with notes and measurements, pencil and ink, 315 x 245mm. and smaller; one pull-out sectional drawing by Britton's assistant John R. Thompson overlaid with the 'golden ratio' in red ink, signed and dated 'Edinburgh 1840', pen and wash, 360 x 428mm.;ii) Group of some thirteen autograph letters to John Britton; one from Joseph Gandy regarding the shields along the south cornice and enclosing some drawings ('...the whole place is highly picturesque, and had fate made me a painter only you would have seen many fine views of this delightful and interesting dell...'); five from David Roberts, commenting on the restoration and his dispute with William Burn whom he accuses of '...destroying the whole proportions of this exquisite bijou...', discussing the burial vault and asking for information from Britton on '...the Temple of Obsimbal [sic]... I have a great wish to have engraved in my forthcoming work...'; other correspondence from George Meikle Kemp (3 page letter including a measured profile drawing), William Burn ('...the old story of the Belted Knights being interred within armour in a vault beneath the chapel is equally absurd, as there is no vault...'), David Laing, Keeper of the Signet Library and David Irving, Keeper of the Advocates Library, c.30 pages, folio and smaller, [various places], 1806 to 1846; iii) John Britton's lecture notes and research material (including some notes '...Communicated by Walter Scott...'), and miscellaneous prints and engravings including nine leaves from Britton's Architectural Antiquities of Great Britain bound in, c.20 album leaves with material stuck or tipped in, additional leaves bound in, bookplate of the Hon. Sir Hew Dalrymple, fragment of old catalogue description attached to front inside board, calf, worn and rubbed, pages frayed, some dust-staining, binding loose, title in gilt on spine label (detached), folio (387 x 260mm.), 1806 to 1846Footnotes:'THIS EXQUISITE BIJOU': DOCUMENTS RELATING TO ROSSLYN CHAPEL, INCLUDING DRAWINGS AND LETTERS BY JOSEPH GANDY, DAVID ROBERTS AND GEORGE MEIKLE KEMP. Rosslyn Chapel was founded in 1456 by William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness, and is renowned for its Gothic architecture and intricate carvings which have given rise to much speculation and legend to this day; most famously, the presence of a hidden underground crypt discussed in these papers. By the nineteenth century, the chapel had fallen into picturesque disrepair, an inspiration for artists and writers such as Ruskin, Turner, Wordsworth and Walter Scott. After a visit in 1842 from Queen Victoria, who was dismayed at its condition, the chapel was extensively restored at the behest of James Alexander St Clair Erskine, 3rd Earl of Rosslyn.Much of the correspondence in the album concerns the restoration of the exterior by William Burn (1789-1870). Whilst visiting the chapel to make a series of oil sketches, Burn's work so enraged the artist David Roberts that, in a letter of January 1846, he complained to Britton that, whilst '...much to the credit of Lord Roslin, no expense has been spared to preserve this unique relic of a past age...', he deplored the opening up of the Great East windows which, in his opinion, destroyed the '...Rembrandtish effects...' and '...the whole proportions of this exquisite bijou...'. John Britton's lecture on Rosslyn given at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London in the same month also fuelled Roberts' disagreement with Burn, with Roberts sending Britton three sketches included here in illustration of his points.The majority of the original drawings included in the album are by the draughtsman and architect Joseph Gandy (1771-1843), assistant to John Soane and dubbed the 'English Piranesi' for his dramatic use of perspective and architectural precision. He was commissioned by Britton in 1806 to supply fourteen plates of Rosslyn Chapel for the third volume of his Architectural Antiquities of Great Britain. Gandy's drawings in our album are seemingly related to those in his Scottish notebook (considered incomplete), now held in the Sir John Soane's Museum. This group of drawings goes 'further towards supplying the missing information [in the notebook] and sheds new light on the other planned images which... were not published by Britton. There is no doubt that twelve of the drawings contained in the album are by Gandy's hand... The Lumière mystérieuse advocated by his patron John Soane was a tangible reality...' (Maggi, A., Rosslyn Chapel, An Icon Through the Ages, 2008, pp.17, 23). Also included in the album is a letter of 1839 from George Meikle Kemp (1794-1844), illustrated with a fine detailed drawing, and written whilst he was working on his great commission, the Scott Monument in Edinburgh. A research paper on the album by Angelo Maggi, 'Documents relating to Roslin Chapel: A recently discovered collection of papers by John Britton' was published in Architectural Heritage, vol. XIII, November 2002, pp.73-98, and includes an extensive list of the contents (the documents bear his pencilled reference numbers). A number of the drawings are also published in his book Rosslyn Chapel, An Icon Through the Ages, 2008, in which he writes 'Britton's meticulous collection of papers in the album of 'Documents' illustrates, in an unusually dramatic manner, not only new and unknown aspects in the evolution of the visual history of the Chapel, but also a remarkable instance of the intriguing process by which many architects of the nineteenth-century added their contribution to the modern understanding of the building' (p.114).Provenance: S.

The first edition had been printed in 1598 on Brahe's own press at Heinrich Rantzov's castle at Wandbeck, near Hamburg, the forty copies of which Brahe distributed privately. The illustrations of this published 1602 edition were printed from the same blocks and plates, which were sold by the author's heirs to Levinus Hulsius, with the addition of the portrait and the engraving of an armillary sphere on C6 verso, replacing a woodcut. The work also contains a short autobiography and a summary of the principal results of Brahe's observations, and an appendix in which the construction of the observatories is shown.In 1576, King Frederick II had heard of Brahe's plans to move to Basel to further his experiments, he offered Tycho permanent the island of Hven in the Danish Sound to use as he saw fit. There Brahe constructed the most advanced astronomical observatory of his time, which he christened Uraniborg (Heavenly castle)., but hen he realized that the Palladian style towers were not adequate because of the instruments' exposure to the elements and the movement of the building, he constructed a second underground observatory at nearby Stjerneborg, whose basement also housed an alchemical laboratory with 16 furnaces for conducting distillations and other chemical experiments. Unusually for the time, he also established a research centre, where almost 100 students and artisans worked from 1576 to 1597. The library housed Brahe's brass-encased globe, now preserved in Copenhagen: 'On this globe, over the years, Tycho marked the exact positions, referred to the year 1600, of the fixed stars that he observed... In the southwest room on the ground floor at Uraniborg... was Tycho's most famous instrument, the mural quadrant, with a radius of about six feet... Inside the quadrant's arc, for ornamental purposes, was painted a life-size portrait of Tycho seated at a table, with arm outstretched as though pointing to a cylinder...'

One small 'arch' element to the pigeon holes of the interior of the bureau is lacking, one is detached but present. The feet are later replacements. The original holes for the turned bun feet are visible to the interior floor of the carcass. The interior of the cabinet section is well fitted and this appears original. The handles to the interior of the cabinet and the interior of the bureau section are good quality but are of later 18th or 19th century date. The mirror plates of the doors are likely original but we cannot guarantee this. The plates bear the expected depletion (see images)Evidence of old worm damage (holes) in some areas as expected for age. Please request additional images if required for visual reference to condition.   Condition Report Disclaimer
