First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. FIRST EDITION. A very fine, broad-margined copy with very rich and clear impressions of the plates. Occ. marginal soiling, a few pin-prick wormholes in the margins of a few leaves. Bound in contemporary morocco, richly tooled in gold. With an engraved allegorical title with the main title incised within a wolf's hide hung on a monument; an engraved dedication to Matthaeus Wacker von Wackenfels (numbered'1'), with the text incised on a stone tablet between flanking obelisks and with two putti supporting the dedicatee's arms; and 49 full-paged engraved plates (ca. 170 x 270 mm), all numbered and signed 'Marco Sadeler excudit', with descriptive captions in Italian. This is the first edition. Thirty-six of these images were copied by Aegidius Sadeler from Etienne Du Pérac's " Vestigi dell'Antichità di Roma" (Rome 1575). For the other images, Sadeler drew on drawings by Jan Breughel the elder and Pieter Stevens. Marco Sadeler, whose name appears on the plates, was an engraver and print seller in Prague in the early 1600's and probably the nephew of Aegidius. In the middle of the 17th century, a copy of the 1606 edition found its way to Rome where it was copied for Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi by Girolamo Ferri and published in 1660. In this series, the artists have depicted the ancient monuments of Rome, Tivoli and Pozzuoli as they appeared in the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century: crowned with vegetation, half-buried by the rising ground level and encroached upon by a host of post-Roman structures. The scenes are alive with Rome's inhabitants: herdsmen, mule-drivers, cattle, sheep, and every manner of citizen. The images, in which the ruins are depicted in their un-restored state and within the context of their early modern environments, serve as a record of the monuments as they appeared in this period and evoke the atmosphere of daily life in early modern Rome. Sadeler and The Bay of Naples: In addition to the views of Rome, the Sadeler series also includes a number of plates of ruins and views of the Bay of Naples and its environs: the Gulf of Baiae, Cuma, Lago Averno, the Campi Flegrei, Capo Miseno, and the Villa Agrippina at Oplontis, and other places within the confines of Pozzuoli.

An extremely fine, broad-margined copy with very rich and clear impressions of the plates. In an attractive contemporary binding of stiff ivory vellum, the boards with large central arabesques in gold, framed by a double gilt rule, and with floral tools at the angles and along the spine. Thirty-six of these images were copied by Aegidius Sadeler from Etienne Du Pérac's " Vestigi dell'Antichità di Roma" (Rome 1575).

In the middle of the 17th century, a copy of the 1606 edition found its way to Rome where it was copied for Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi by Girolamo Ferri, with the "Marco Sadeler excudit" preserved on each plate (late variants appeared towards 1677, at the end of the career of Giacomo de' Rossi, with "Marco Sadeler/ sculpsit" in place of "excudit".) The monograms indicating the reworking of Ferri are visible on the plates no. 10, 19, 37, 42 and 46. In our copy the series of views is in its earliest state as the plates 4 and 45 are unnumbered. The title plate bears the wording Marco Sadeler's ?excudit.? This state is not recorded in Bartsch (1978). In this series, the artists have depicted the ancient monuments of Rome, Tivoli and Pozzuoli as they appeared in the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century: crowned with vegetation, half-buried by the rising ground level and encroached upon by a host of post-Roman structures. The scenes are alive with Rome's inhabitants: herdsmen, mule-drivers, cattle, sheep, and every manner of citizen.

"A COMPLETE SUITE OF EARLY HERMITS. Oblong 4to. [25 x 17.5 cm]. Title and 29 numbered plates, complete; most plates signed by Honervogt. Bound in contemporary limp vellum. A marvelously crisp and fresh copy, free from foxing, likely in its original binding. A lovely, fresh copy of this complete suite of plates illustrating the marvels associated with 29 different desert fathers during the 4th and 5th centuries. Many of the designs are highly imaginative, showing eg. Saint John the Anchorite beset by demons (plate 21); Plate 19 depicts Saint Amatus of Remiremont having his food stolen by a bird; and Plate 14 shows Saint Calupan fending off snakes and other vermin while praying in his cave. "Maarten de Vos (1532-1603) was a prodigious Flemish draftsman whose alluring Mannerist designs were engraved by the hundreds in Northern Europe. Once engraved, these drawings traveled throughout the Spanish empire, serving as models for very many works of art. So many, in fact, that his impact on Spanish Colonial art is considered to be second only to that of Rubens. At the end of the 16th century Maarten de Vos produced more than a hundred drawings of anchorites--men and women who chose to withdraw from society in order to lead a life focused on prayer, penance, and religious study These drawings must have been immensely popular in their day, as they were quickly engraved in Antwerp and in Venice by three of the leading engravers of the timeJohan Sadeler I, Raphael Sadeler I, and Adriaen Collaert. These engravings were then engraved again, this time in reverse, and published in Paris by Thomas de Leu, Jean Leclerc IV, and Jacques Honervogt early in the 17th century." (Blackfriars Gallery and Library). The present edition is unrecorded in OCLC; an earlier edition published by Jollain under the address "rue St Jacque a la ville de Coulongne" is held at the Library of Congress, the BnF, and SMU, and is dated 1654; but other books bearing the imprint found here, "G.Jollain, rue S. Jacques, a? l'Enfant Je?sus" are more commonly dated to ca. 1690.".
PRINTED IN ANTWERP, AND IN EXILE IN COLOGNE. Complete suite of 12 unnumbered plates, each signed by both de Vos and Sadeler; most dated 1579-1582, from both Cologne and Antwerp. 19.4 x 13.5 cms to platemarks, on sheets ca. 22 x 16.5 cms. Each plate mounted in a portfolio cardboard frame. Two plates (Holy Family in Egypt & the Disputation in the Temple) with discreet closed tears, nearly invisible on rectos; these showing remains of old repairs on versos.Rare, thematically curious complete suite of plates in their only state, engraved during the pinnacle of Counter-Reformation Flemish imagery in the 1580s. The suite, produced while the Dutch Revolt raged on the outskirts of Antwerp, was designed by Maerten de Vos and engraved by the progenitor of the Sadeler artistic dynasty, Johannes/Jan I (ca. 1550 1593). Per the New Hollstein entry, the only complete suite in the US is held at the Metropolitan Museum (although untraced in their online catalog); the British Museum holds, for example, just four of the prints (most of them trimmed or damaged). The unusual theme the childhood of Christ, before his disappearance from the Gospels proved to be a fitting collaboration for de Vos (at the time a Protestant) and Sadeler (a Catholic). Such craftsmen generally churned out multiple, if not dozens of engravings per year but the fact that the present, topically-cohesive suite is variously dated in the plates themselves from 1579-1582, always alongside the signature of both contributors, bears remarkable witness to the fact that both artists one, a Lutheran painter, the other a Catholic engraver sought refuge together in Cologne during this tumultuous period. Commencing with the Annunciation and concluding with the 12-year old Christ's three-day disputation in the Temple, De Vos' designs are often truly charming in detail: for example, in the Holy Family's Flight to Nazareth, the donkey accompanying the family in their boat is being tenderly fed from the hand of the infant Christ. The varying imprints also betray a truly rustic grasp of orthography: for example, the Flight into Egypt is signed 'Mertin de vos / Joan. Sadeler schulpsit Coloniae" while the Disputation in the Temple is signed "J. Sadler scalpsit Colloniae". Born in Brussels, "Jan was in Antwerp by 1572; it was then the centre of the printmaking world, with hugely productive workshops producing work for publishers with excellent distribution arrangements throughout Europe. In that year he became a master of the artists' Guild of Saint Luke, and married in Antwerp Cathedral. By 1569 or 1570 he was doing work for the publisher Christopher Plantin. His younger brother Rafael I joined him there, and they continued to work closely together, moving to Cologne in about 1579, but continuing to visit Antwerp. The disruptions of the Dutch Revolt scattered all the Antwerp artists across Northern Europe, and after the siege of Antwerp in 1585 Jan and Rafael worked in several German cities - Mainz, Frankfurt-am-main, Munich without settling for long, before they went to Italy in 1593, where Jan may have died." (Colección Gelonch-Viladegut). For his part, De Vos is thought to have converted to Lutheranism in the early 1570s, following his appointment as Dean of the Guild of St Luke; but following the Fall of Antwerp in 1585 he re-embraced Catholicism. In historical order, the plates depict: The Annunciation (no place, 1579); The Visitation (Cologne, 1582); The Nativity, with three angels (no place, 1582); The Annunciation to the Shepherds (no place, 1579); The Circumcision (no place, 1581); The Presentation in the Temple (no place, 1580); The Flight into Egypt (Cologne, no date); The Massacre of the Innocents (no place, no date); The Holy Family in Egypt, served by angels (no place, dated 1581); The Holy Family on their Way to Nazareth (Antwerp, 1582); The 12-Year Old Jesus in the Temple (dated Cologne, 1582). But the imprints demonstrate that the designs were engraved in a very different order. * New Hollstein 256-267 (de Vos); Old Hollstein 160-171 (Sadeler).
