*De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Sketchbook of anatomical studies, twenty-two pastel drawings on rectos of sixteen tan card leaves (and five blank leaves at rear), of hands, arms, feet, torsos, and necks, leaf size 37 x 24cm (14.5 x 9.5ins), edges rough-trimmed, original green cloth with pencil holder and elastic closure (stretched), some soiling to upper cover, folio Evelyn De Morgan's preparatory studies are both beautiful in their own right and enlightening for what they tell us about her working process. Her drawings for each work are extensive, and include both loose and more finished compositional sketches, detailed life studies of nude and clothed figures, drawings of drapery and details of faces and anatomy. Expressive hand gestures are a frequent characteristic of De Morgan's oil paintings, and she particularly studied hands and feet in exquisite detail in her pursuit of realism. Because she rarely deviated from her initial conception we can say with certainty that several of the sketches contained in this album were produced for 'Pro Patria Mori', one of De Morgan's works destroyed by fire in October 1991 ('Evelyn De Morgan, oil paintings', DMF, plate 96).

*Burgkmair (Hans, 1473-1531). The Triumph of Emperor Maximilian I (Kaiser Maximilians I. Triumph.

The woodcuts form a continuous procession measuring approximately 177 feet, celebrating the achievements of the young emperor, whose death in 1519 at the age of 60 put an end to the production. The illustrations are especially interesting for the depiction of regional officials and professions, and exotic peoples and animals. The blocks were first printed in a very small edition in 1526 at the instruction of Ferdinand, younger brother of the succeeding Emperor Charles V, and were not reprinted until this edition in book form in 1796.
