First edition. First edition. Oblong. In near contemporary half leather, gilt title on spine. Panels covered with marbled paper, edges tinted. [9] letterpress leaves, and 72 hand-colored engraved plates. An extremely scarce copy, with 72 plates, of this unusual French version of Hamilton's Collection of Engravings from Ancient Vases mostly of pure Greek workmanship. The original edition of the Collection of Engravings from Ancient Vases Mostly of Pure Greek Workmanship Discovered in Sepulchres in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies [] now in the possession of Sir Wm. Hamilton [] was published in four volumes by Wilhelm Tischbein in Naples between 1791 and 1803, as a catalogue describing and illustrating Hamilton's second vase collection. The plates for this collection, unlike those in his previous catalogue, are line engravings, so as to be more affordable, as well as more useful to artists and manufacturers as a pattern book. Hamilton's previous 4-volume album, Collection of Etruscan, Greek and Roman Antiquities From the Cabinet of the Hon. W. Hamilton (17661776) was one of the most splendid publications of the 18th century, and constitutes in itself a chapter in European cultural history, by its aim to disseminate a new style throughout Europe (Schutze, 2) The success of this programme could be measured by the appearance of a French edition of the work in a smaller-format in five volumes (17851788), and also by the present, less known album, which was published around 1803 in Paris, issued in a sequel of twelve livraisons (an advertisement for the sale of the last five livraisons could be found in the Journal de Paris no. 191, of 1 April 1803., p. 1215). In the present oblong album, each plate is carefully executed and unlike the original Naples edition hand painted, in the same manner as in Hamilton's first Collection, many of them with four colors. The original drawings, either copies of those by Tischbein for the second Collection, or made directly after the vases in Hamilton's collection, were made by Humbert de Superville. Although his name is not mentioned in the book, neither indicated on the plates yet, in the collection of the Leiden University Libraries sixteen of Humbert de Superville's original sketches for these illustrations are held. William Hamilton (17301803) was the British envoy to the Court of Naples, living there for 37 years. Besides his official duties as ambassador and his scientific studies of volcanoes, he also acted as a collector of antiquities and paintings, as well as a dealer of art, antiquities, and furniture for collectors and friends in England. He is best known for amassing and publishing two great collections of Greek vases. His first collection, including 730 vases, besides other ancient objects, was sold to the British Museum in 1771, the second except for a part which went down with the ship carried them to England in 1798 was sold on private and public sales in 1801. (Ramage 1990). Spine worn at edges, opened at tail. With 72 hand-colored plates, many of them with 4 colors (black, orange, yellow, red). Free endpapers creased. Light water stain to lower left corner throughout, not affecting the images. Letterpress explanations for plate no. XXXVIIXLVII not bound into. The last two leaves with double-page letterpress explanations were bound in reverse order. Oblong. In near contemporary half leather, gilt title on spine. Panels covered with marbled paper, edges tinted.

Condition: Fine. This hand-colored engraving is from Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein after Sir William Hamilton's collection of vases. The full title reads Recueil de Gravures d'apràs les Vases Antiques or Collection of Engravings from Ancient Vases. The work was published in Naples in 1791.This is Tischbein's famous work on Sir William Hamilton's second and greatest collection of antique vases. His first had been sold to the British Museum in 1772, the second nearly did not make it to Britain (about a third were lost in a shipwreck), but the collection was eventually brought by Thomas Hope, one of the great champions of the neo-classical style. The present image is both a technically brilliant record of a priceless object and a highly-pleasing graphic image that has as much appeal today as when it was produced in Florence two hundred years ago. Sir William Hamilton was the British ambassador to Naples from 1764 to 1800, during the city's golden age. An avid antiquarian, Hamilton assembled one of the world's finest collections of Greek and Roman antiquities. In addition to his duties as ambassador, Hamilton was also renowned as a knowledgeable guide and congenial host to the visiting English 'Grand Tourists'. With infectious enthusiasm he would extol the wonders of Naples and the beauties of arts of the ancient world, inspiring in many of his aristocratic visitors a genuine love of the antique. This new-found enthusiasm found its expression in the new style of neo-classicism and in the collections of antiquites which found their way to many of the stately homes of England. --- The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be some light or uneven toning to the paper, generally not affecting the image area. There may be a few minor imperfections or faint marks to be expected with age.
