Botanik - - Jan Theodor de Bry. Anthologia magna sive Florilegium novum & absolutum, variorum maximeque rariorum germinum, florum ac plantarum, quas pulchritudo. Mit gestoch. Titeleinfassung u. 142 Kupfertafeln (hiervon 2 kol. u. 5 gefalt.). Frankfurt a. M., Officina Bryana, 1626. 6 Bll. 142 Taf. 4°. Hldr. des frühen 19 Jahrhunderts mit Kattunpapierbezug (etwas berieben und beschabt, der Rücken fachmännisch restauriert). De Belder 92. - Nissen BBI, 273. - Pritzel 1299. - Graesse II, 559. - VD17 29:718779N (sehr ungenau, nach dem unvollständigen Nürnberger Trew'schen Ex.). - Äußerst seltene, zweite und durch zusätzliche neue Tafeln erweiterte Auflage. Sie basierte auf einer Sammlung von Blumendarstellungen, die de Bry meist nach Vorlagen aus P. Vallets "Le Jardin du roy" (1608), B. Beslers "Hortus Eystettensis"(1612) und de Passes "Hortus floridus" (1614) radierte. - Der Verleger, Zeichner und Kupferstecher Johann Theodor de Bry war bekannt für seine reich illustrierten, wissenschaftl. Schriften sowie für die seinerzeit unübertroffene Kunstfertigkeit, welche er im vorliegenden Exemplar eindrucksvoll zum Ausdruck bringt. Die mit 142 Kupfertafeln vollständige Ausgabe ist zugleich eines der einflussreichsten Werke der frühen Florilegia. - Insbesondere im 17. Jahrhundert waren Florilegia weit verbreitet und umfassten überwiegend medizinische oder botanische Teilbereiche. Mit dem Fokus auf die Klassifikation stand insbesondere bei den botanischen Werken meist nicht der wissenschaftliche Nutzen, sondern das Bedürfnis im Vordergrund, die Schönheit und Pracht einzelner Pflanzen darzustellen. Neben heimischen Gewächsen waren insbesondere seltene und exotische Pflanzen von Interesse. - Nach Intention des Florilegiums zeigen die von einer zweiseitigen "Brevis descriptio" eingeführten Tafeln sorgfältig gestochene, florale Kompositionen mit äußerst feinen Schattierungen sowie virtuoser Lichtführung. - Tls. ungenaue Paginierung, Zur Kollation der TAFELN: 2 unnum., num. 1-116, 1-22, hiervon 37 u. 50 doppelt gezählt, 111 nicht gezählt, 53 & 54 sowie 115 & 116 in Reihung vertauscht (für die genaue Kollation siehe Nissen o. Graesse, Taf. 23 jedoch nicht wie bei Nissen und Graesse doppelt gezählt, Statt Tafel 23 ist die motivgleiche Tafel 123 (aus der Ausgabe von 1641) eingebunden, zur Kollation vgl. Ex. Österr. Nationalbibl., BE.4.K.2). - Die Textbll. etw. braun- u. fingerfleckig (die Tafeln im Randbereich betroffen), Titelbl. mit hs. Besitzeintrag alter Hand sowie kl. Fehlstelle v. vermutl. entf. Siegel, nur vereinzelt mit kl. Randeinrissen, das Gelenk angebrochen (der Buchblock jedoch fest). Insgesamt äußerst wohlerhaltenes u. seltenes Exemplar, die nuancenreichen Stiche mit ausgeprägter Gratwirkung in farbsatten Abzügen. Botany - With engraved title border and 142 copper plates (of which 2 col. a. 5 folded). Half leather binding of the early 19th century with calico paper covers (slightly rubbed and scuffed, spine professionally restored). - Exceptionally rare, second edition enlarged by additional new plates. It is based on a collection of floral depictions that de Bry etched mostly after Vallet's "Le Jardin duroy" (1608), Besler's "Hortus Eystettensis" (1612) and de Passe's "Hortus floridus" (1614). - The publisher and engraver Johann Theodor de Bry was known for his richly illustrated, scientific publications as well as for the artistry unmatched at the time, which is impressively depicted in the present complete copy as well as one of the most influential works of the early Florilegia. - In the 17th century in particular, Florilegia were widespread and mainly comprised medical or botanical topics. With the focus on classification, especially in the case of botanical works, the focus was not on scientific use but on the need to depict the beauty and splendor of individual plants. In addition to native plants, rare and exotic plants were of particular interest. - According to the intention of the Florilegium, the plates following a two-page "Brevis descriptio" show carefully engraved floral compositions with exceedingly fine shading and virtuoso lighting. - Partly inaccurate pagination, on the collation of the plates: 2 unnum., num. 1-116, 1-22, of which 37 and 50 counted twice, 111 not counted, 53 & 54 as well as 115 & 116 reversed in order (for the exact collation see Nissen o. Graesse, plate 23, however, not counted twice as in Nissen and Graesse, instead of plate 23 the plate with the same motif. 123 (from the edition of 1641) is bound in, for the collation see Ex. Österr. Nationalbibl., BE.4.K.2). - The text ll. slightly browned and finger stained (the plates in the margins affected), title page. with handwritten ownership entry as well as small defect probably from removed seal, only a few ll. with small edge tears, joint slightly cracked (book block however firm). Altogether very well-preserved and rare copy, the nuanced engravings with a pronounced burr effect in colour saturated prints.

John Anster Fitzgerald (British, 1819-1906)The birth of a fairy signed with monogram (lower left)watercolour and bodycolour40 x 29.6cm (15 3/4 x 11 5/8in).Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate collection, UK.John Anster Fitzgerald, or 'Fairy Fitzgerald' as he became known, is one of the most celebrated exponents of Fairy Painting which captured the imagination of the Victorian public and continues to delight collectors today. Born in London in 1823, there were few signs in Fitzgerald's youth to indicate that he would go onto to become a prolific exhibitor at the Royal Academy and at the British Institution. Having had little or no formal training he first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1845 at the age of twenty-two, and would continue to do so regularly until 1881, his final exhibit coming in 1902 after a long hiatus. Fitzgerald lived his whole life in a London where the public imagination was becoming increasingly gripped by ideas of the supernatural and the occult. The interest pervaded all parts of the arts, literature, opera, ballet and of course painting. The uniquely British tradition of fairy painting had begun in the late eighteenth century with artists such as William Blake and Henry Fuseli who imaginatively illustrated the work of Shakespeare, particularly his more fanciful plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest. This peculiarly Victorian contribution to the Romantic movement reached its height in the 1850s and 60s but while artists such as Sir Joseph Noel Paton continued to use literature as their source of inspiration, Fitzgerald did not limit himself in this way. Many of his works are the products of a fertile imagination in which he created his own fairy kingdom. Whether these scenes were induced by drug fuelled dreams is a matter of debate, opium was the recreational drug of the artistic and poetic and many great Victorian works of literature were produced under its influence. It is also likely that Fitzgerald was aware of and influenced by the works of Hieronymous Bosch whose prints were widely available in the mid nineteenth century and collected by artists. Fitzgerald was also a devotee of the stage, and from all these influences a colourful character is built up and the vibrancy of his art can come as no surprise. Indeed Harry Furniss, in his memoir My Bohemian Days (1919), writes of Fitzgerald: 'his life was one long Midsummer Night's Dream.'In the present lot the excitement and chaos so often seen in Fitzgerald's larger fairy paintings is centred around a new-born fairy emerging from a flower of pure white. She comes into the fairy domain shimmering and lighting the scene from the centre. The introduction of limelight into London's theatres in the mid-nineteenth century was well known to Fitzgerald, and we see its influence here. Gathered around to bear witness are all the denizens of the fairy world, rendered in Fitzgerald's exquisite and vibrant colours. The close relationship between the fairies and the natural world is clear as birds of all type perch and hover to catch a glimpse. In the foreground two larger birds carry sprites away to spread the news, one blowing a small wind instrument fashioned out of a pink petal. To the left of centre, a pair of large diaphanous wings are opened seemingly to shade our human eyes from the pure iridescent light of the new-born fairy, lest we be dazzled. All the characters are however apparently unaware of our intrusion, their focus is on the momentous event alone, and we are left with the impression of having been fortunate to have been a witness.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
GLEN GRANT 1992 19 YEAR OLD DISTILLERY EXCLUSIVE CASK #17161 50CL SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Glen Grant was the first distillery in Scotland to have electric lighting installed, thanks to its forward-thinking owner, and all-round colourful character, Major James Grant. Grant was an innovator who was one of the first people to realise the potential of exporting whisky abroad. Initially, this paid dividends, and in 1897 The Major began construction of a second distillery across the road. However, as was the case with so many distilleries built around this time, Glen Grant 2 was mothballed after just a few years. Although, it did re-open in 1965 under the name Caperdonich.While it might not be a household name in the UK, Glen Grant is consistently one of the top selling single malts in Italy due to the groundwork laid by legendary importer Armando Giovinetti in the 1960s. It, therefore, seems appropriate that the distillery is now owned by Campari, an Italian company.Distilled: 12/02/1992Bottled: 06/01/2012Matured in cask #17161Bottle Number: 73 / 22252.4% ABV / 50cl
