Lot 458
A George III mahogany secretaire bookcase of imposing proportions, probably Scottish - the cavetto moulded cornice over a pair of 15 panel astragal glazed doors, the cruciform glazing centred with a gilt on black verre eglomise panel painted with a thistle, over a fall front enclosing a fitted interior with eleven fiddleback mahogany drawers and five pigeonholes, the base with four long graduated drawers with original brasses and oak linings, on bracket feet. (LWH 127 x 57 x 226 cm)
Lot 506
A small oak cupboard bookcase or miniature dresser - the stepped, ogee moulded cornice over four open shelves, above a pair of arched panelled doors with Art Nouveau style handle, enclosing a single shelf. (LWH 71 x 27 x 157.5 cm)* The board to the top of the cornice is slightly warped to the left hand end. A few small nicks and scuffs to the edges from use. The right hand door has a long shallow chip to the top of the moulded edge. The left hand door is currently detached and it has a damaged top hinge (pin missing) which needs replacing to re-affix.
Lot 463
A good George III mahogany cupboard bookcase of small proportions - the carved dentil cornice over a pair of boxwood-strung, 13-pane astragal glazed doors, enclosing a velvet-lined interior with two adjustable shelves, over a single panelled drawer with later ring brasses, above a pair of conforming panelled doors flanked by muntins with similarly shaped reserves, enclosing a single shelf, on shaped bracket feet. (LWH 96.5 x 21 x 173.5 cm)* Condition: Good colour and condition overall but we believe that the cornice is a later replacement or has been altered. The bookcase and base sections appear to be original to each other. Original glass, later handles. There are losses to the boxwood stringing to the underside of base section top at both front corners. The boxwood stringing from the top of the RH door panel is detached (but present) and the stringing to the left hand door is lifting in the same place. The doors have a gap between them, probably due to the shrinkage. Small veneer chips to left foot. The joints near the front corner of both sides on the base section are separating slightly due to shrinkage.

Master Of Delft -Die mensche. Scriptura / Description: Scriptura and man : A man kneeling. A woman looks into the book, behind her a bookcase. She is the personification of the Scriptura, of the Bible. Christ as Salvator Mundi appears in heaven. (Banderolles with the text still upside down, that was not the case in later editions...) This is a full page incunabula woodcut, in fact the first and title woodcut of a very rare and early edition of Ludolphus de Saxonia, "Dat Boeck vanden leven ons lief heeren Ihesu Christi". This woodcut is discussed by Prof. Henri Defour in his article 'story of the woodcuts from the Ludolphus editions' DBNL 24/2017. The history of the woodcuts is very complicated, see an extract under 'literature'. It belongs to the very rare first edition or an earlier work that has not survived as described below. The fresh impression still with complete intact borderlines also emphasizes that fact. / Dimensions: 17,50 x 14,5 cm / Condition: Excellent impression with unbroken woodcut borderlines tipped with borders on a support sheet. Nice period hand coloring. Gothic Dutch letterpress on the backside in two columns. / Literature: Prof. Henri Defoer, history of the woodcuts from the Ludolphus editions. ( Jaarboek voor Nederlandse boekgeschiedenis 24/2017)… Ina Kok is of the opinion that an earlier edition preceded Leeu's edition of 'tBoeck vanden Leven ons lief heeren Jhesu Christi of 3 November 1487, which has not been preserved. She assumes that on the basis of the similarity of the second title woodcut with Mensch and Scriptura in the above edition with the title woodcuts in a two-part passionael, consisting of a winter and a summer piece, which appeared on 1 March 1487 in Delft by Jacob Janszoon van der Meer (ilc 1510, see figures 7 and 8) The maker of these woodcuts has been given the 'Second Delft Woodcutter' by Conway as an emergency name. The title page of both volumes shows a female figure sitting behind a lectern, with a bookcase full of books behind her. Before her kneels a man, looking up to Christ appearing in the sky in a mandorla. Above the woman floats a banderole with the text upside down: Dat Passionael, and above the man a banderole with the words upside down on one side: Summer stuck and the other time: Winter stuck. The Delft printer also used the same woodcut for his edition of the short redaction of the life of Christ by Ludolphus de Saxonia, which came off the press on 22 May 1488 (ilc 1504) There the words scriptura and die mensche can be read in the bands respectively. These words make sense here, since the text of the book largely consists of a dialogue between scriptura and die mensche. This indicates that the woodcut was originally cut for an edition of the Life of Christ by Ludolphus de Saxonia and must therefore be older than 1 March 1487, the publication date of the two-volume passionael. No copies of this earlier (probably also) Delft edition have survived, nor of the early edition by Gheraert Leeu, which Kok presumes....... The stylistic affinity between the paintings of the Master of Virgo inter Virgines and the woodcuts of the Second Delft Master is so great that it is generally assumed that he was the designer of the woodcuts of the Second Delft Master It can be concluded from this that the Second Delft Master is most likely identical with the Master of the Virgo inter Virgines.......( The Master of the Virgo inter Virgines was an Early Netherlandish painter and designer of woodcuts active around Delft between 1483 and 1498. He is named for The Virgin and Child with Four Holy Virgins, an altarpiece of the Virgin with Saints Catherine, Cecilia, Ursula, and Barbara which formerly hung in the convent of Konigsveld, but which is now in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.) / Medium: Colored woodcut /Circa: Pre 1487 280
