First Edition
Printed Paper Wrappers. Condition: Very Good. Mind, Gottfried (illustrator). First Edition. Mind, Gottfried. DER KATZEN-RAPHAEL. Berlin: E. H. Schroeder, 1861. First edition. 4to - 9" x 11-1/4". Original printed paper wrappers with some edge wear. 4 unnumbered leaves. 28pp. Illustrated with 12 engravings after Mind by L. Bellon, E. Eichens, F. Hegi, A. Hussener, R. Reyher and A. Schrodter. Gottfried Mind (1768-1814), was one of the most famous cases of an artistic savant of an earlier time. He could not read or write but displayed a remarkable talent for portraying cats, deer, rabbits, and other animals, as well as children, in drawings and watercolours. His talent for drawing cats brought him fame, as well as the title, "The Cats¿ Raphael" with one of his pictures of cats being purchased by King George IV of England. The German landscape painter C.H. Legel discovered Mind¿s talent as a draughtsman; Sigmund Freudenberger, at whose house he stayed, was his patron, and the art historian Wagner took a friendly interest in his work. He died in 1814 with only a few of his works published. The condition of the book is VERY GOOD. Rare.

Add to basketCondition: sehr guter Zustand. Zeitgenöss. aquarellierte Aquatinta von F. Hegi (1774-1850), auf cremefarbenem Velin. 16,5:18,8 cm. Das Aquarell, nach dem diese Aquatintaradierung entstanden ist, befindet sich in der Albertina, Wien (Inv. Nr. 5941). Vergleichsliteratur: M. Gröning/M.L. Sternath, Die deutschen und Schweizer Zeichnungen des späten 18. Jahrhunderts. Wien/Köln/Weimar, 1997, Nr. 5631 mit Abb. Sowie Farbtafel S. LX. Mind erhielt seinen ersten Zeichenunterricht durch den Landschaftsmaler C.H. Legel (um 1775 in Bern tätig), anschließend durch den Genremaler S. Freudenberger (1745-1801) in Bern. Erst nach dem Tode Freudenbergers, dessen Zeichnungen er koloriert hatte, begann er seine Katzen-, Bären- und Kindergruppen, die er nun der Witwe Freudenbergers um geringen Lohn überließ. Körperlich und geistig vernachlässigt, daher von den Menschen gemieden, beschäftigte sich der arme Friedli' am liebsten mit seinen Freunden, den Katzen, für deren Beobachtung und Darstellung er einen feinen Blick u. eine geschickte Hand besaß". (Boetticher).
