Lily (George), Britanniae insulae quae nunc Angliae et Scotiae regna continet cum Bibernia adiacente nova descriptio, Rome, 1558, uncoloured engraved map with the Sebastiano de Re da Chioggia imprint, orientated to the west with Ireland in the north, two panels with Latin text describe Ireland and Britain with a third containing the title, borders trimmed with new margins added, 400 x 550 mm R. W. Shirley. Early Printed Maps of the British Isles, 1477 - 1650, 63. This map is a close copy of the first separately printed map of the whole of the British Isles produced twelve years earlier by George Lily. Its overall scale is reduced by about a third from the 1546 state. The outline of England and Wales is based on a map of 1540 by Sebastian Munster. Many more place names and distinct topographical features are included. Ireland is still largely shapeless but Scotland is depicted with remarkable accuracy. This precise geographical depiction of Scotland is possible because Lily was able to consult a map of Scotland drawn by John Elden and presented to Henry VIII in 1538. Elden is known to have been in Rome in 1538. It is also possible that Lily had access to Hector Boece's Scotorium Historiae and a map thought to have been made by Alexander Lindsay while accompanying James V of Scotland of a tour of the kingdom. A striking feature of this map is that it uses distinctive and conventional signs to show county capitals and towns and the status of archepiscopal and episcopal sees. Oddly neither Oxford, Gloucester or Peterborough are marked as an episcopal see even though they were made so between 1541 and 1542. Shirley speculates that this omission could suggest that a pre 1541 map was used as a source, but could also betray the author's reluctance to acknowledge the newly created sees in light of the recent conflict between Rome and the English Crown. A rare map in remarkably good condition. (1)

Alberti (Leon Battista). L'Architettura di Leon Battista Alberti, tradotta in lingua Fiorentina da Cosimo Bartoli Con la aggiunta de disegni et altri diversi trattati del medesimo auttore, Monte Regale: Leonardo Torrentino, 1565, 331, [21]pp., woodcut printer's device on the title and portrait of Alberti verso, 3 woodcut plates including a double-page plate of the Baths of Diocletian, woodcut decorative initials and numerous woodcuts in the text (some full-page), leaf L6 with small repair touching a woodcut recto and with loss of a few letters to verso, first four leaves only with small worm track at extreme fore-edge not affecting text, early 20th-century vellum gilt, slightly soiled and partly split along joints, folio Fowler 8 (describes an imperfect copy), Millard IV, 6 and Mortimer 12 only describe the 1550 edition. Clean, wide-margined copy. This is the second folio edition of Bartoli's translation of 'De re aedificatoria' and the first to include Domenichi's translation of 'La Pittura' which begins at page 305 with separate title. The woodcut illustrations are from the same blocks as those used in the first edition of the translation in 1550, but this edition is regarded as rarer than the 1550 edition. This important and influential work by the great Italian renaissance humanist is based on Vitruvius and when first published in 1485 was the first printed book on architecture. Fowler 8 describes an imperfect copy; Millard IV, 6 and Mortimer 12 only describe the 1550 edition. (1)

Gerrit van Honthorst (Dutch 1590-1656) Shepherdess Holding Apples Signed upper right Oil on canvas 78 x 63.5cm; 30½ x 25in Provenance: Catton Hall, Osmaston, Coll. Sir Robert Horton by 1822 Exhibited: Birmingham, 1938, No. 149, as Paulus Moreelse Birmingham, 1953, No. 89 as Dutch School Literature: Davis, 1811, pp.277-279 Waterhouse, 1953 p.306 Judson, 1959, pp.98, note 3, 216, no. 133 Nicolson, CII, 1960, p.81, note 4 Braun, 1966, pp. 211, 212, no 71 Nocolson-Vertova, I, p.127, III, pl.1299 Utrecht-Luxemburg, 1993-1994, p.168 J. Richard Judson & Rudolf E.O. Ekkart, Gerrit van Honthorst (1592-1659), Davaco Publishers, 1999, p.166 Gerrit van Honthorst (Gerard van Honthorst) was a Dutch Golden Age painter who was influenced by the chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, adopting a similar style and becoming a leading portrait painter in the Netherlands. He was particularly noted for his depiction of artificially lit scenes, often painted by a single candle, earning him the nickname of Gherardo delle Notte (Gerard of the Nights). This painting has not been on the market for over 100 years and was in the collection of Sir Robert Horton in the 19th Century at Catton Hall, Osmaston and has come down through the Anson family at Catton Hall in the 20th Century. The painting features in the catalogue raisonnée by J. Richard Judson (Published 1999, p.166) where he notes it has ~the same soft surface quality and physiognomy that one finds in Honthorst~s paintings dating from the years around 1622-1623~. He also suggests that it may be related to a ~lost pendant~, another similar portrait, where she may be offering the fruit to a person, perhaps a Shepherd to her right where her smiling gaze is cast. The roses paired with the snowdrops in her hat are typical of Dutch Golden Age painting; depicting rare petals that could never actually bloom together at the same time and creating a botanical impossibility. The two apples in the hand are held a way that alludes to the erotic, in conjunction with the staff leaning on her shoulder and the revealing décolleté. She symbolises temptation and the apples are a reference to the Eve~s seduction of Adam. In addition to this, apples were often used as symbols of fertility, the beauty of the female form and also to love. The pose, costume and the model clearly hold strong similarities to the famous painting by Honthorst of the young woman playing the viola da gamba. The model recurs in several of his paintings, often holding a musical instrument which at the time were a conventional motif of brothel scenes and it is clear from her suggestive pose in this painting and her provocative dress that she is a courtesan or strumpet. Her warm and appealing smile resulted in her being called ~The Laughing Girl~ by the vendor~s family for several generations.
