Walker, George The Costume of Yorkshire in 1814. A Series of Forty-One Facsimiles of Original Drawings by George Walker. Leeds: Richard Jackson, 1885. Folio, full parchment gilt; frontis. and 40 colour plates on Japan paper; extra-illus., seemingly without guiding principle, with engravings and similar on pre- and post-lims (inc. verso of frontis., foot of title, and around the explanation of plates, though none obvious on main text block or plates). Limited ed., this no. 15 of 600, first 100 with plates on Japan paper, others on plate paper. Text in English and French. A fascinating view of a mostly lost Yorkshire, with the Milk Boy and the Whalebone Scrapers amongst militia regiments and Line Swinglers. This is not only a costume book however. It also features ancient traditions (such as Riding the Stang) and a picture of Murray and Blenkinsop's steam engine, which predated Stephenson. The additional prints seem mostly unconnected with Yorkshire costume, though some do depict foreign dress and custom.
Lot 83
Blaeu, Johannes Plan de la Ville et des Environs de Pavie. Amsterdam: Pieter Mortier, 1704. Engraved map, uncoloured, framed and glazed. Blaeu originally began his enormous atlas of Italy after finishing his monumental Atlas Maior in 1662. The work was planned in two parts, each of five books, the first on Italy and the second on Rome. However he only finished three volumes in his lifetime. Pieter Mortier reissued the Blaeu maps in 1704/5 as an atlas, from which this map is taken. The map is numbered XI and is taken from the first Mortier volume on Lombardy (Pavia being the old capital of the Lombard Kings). A description under the map's title explains the 1525 siege of Pavia, where the besieging French under Francis I were shattered by a larger relieving Imperial army under Charles V. However intriguingly, a modern dealer's note on the rear appears to suggest that the illustration of warfare on the map shows not 1525, but rather the failed siege of 1655 by Prince Thomas of Savoy, which would certainly have been contemporary for Blaeu during his original work on the maps. It may be that, in common with other Early Modern depictions of historical scenes, Blaeu drew on the contemporary forms of dress and equipment, inspired by the recent events.
