Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Poor. Michael Ayrton (illustrator). Signed on half title page by both Spark & Ayrton. Apparently one of an edition of 500, but the space where the number should have been written has been left blank. Ayrtonâs etching & its protective sheet are loosely inserted between the half title & title pages. The book's protective wrap is worn & tatty, & its cloth spine is blotchy & discoloured, presumably from exposure to damp at some time: the main area of the cover has also picked up some marks. The outer edge of the page-block is foxed. There is no problem with the text pages. Signed by Author. Signed by Artist.

Etching / engraving on hand laid paper. on paper. Size in cm: The overall size is ca. 24 x 40.5 cm. The image size is ca. 12 x 12.5 cm. Size in inch: The overall size is ca. 9.4 x 15.9 inch. The image size is ca. 4.7 x 4.9 inch.Proverb / ethics emblem : This plate shows geese / ducks visiting a pool, disturbing rest. In the same way one person can disturb a nation, as one head rolled can quiet it down again. This old antique engraved copperplate print and accompanying poetry originate from 'Alle de Wercken van den heere Jacob Cats.', (Complete Works of Jacob Cats) which was published from 1655 on. This plate is from a 1726 edition. The emblems depict lessons of many aspects of life. Each emblem typically has more than one meaning as Cats' poems talk about ethics, wisdom and morale from the perspective of love, religion and society. His work has often been critisized, but contains a treasure of truth and symbolism, often as relevant as it was during the times of it's creation.Artists and Engravers: The Author is Jacob Cats, also known as Father Cats (born Nov. 10, 1577, Brouwershaven, Zeeland, Spanish Netherlands - died Sept. 12, 1660, Zorgvliet, near The Hague) Dutch poet. A magistrate and high official, he was enormously popular as a writer of emblem books, consisting of woodcuts or engravings with verses possessing a moral. His Mirror of Old and New Times (1632) contains many quotations that have become household sayings in the Netherlands, and he used it to express the ethical concerns of Dutch Calvinists, especially about love and marriage. The famous poetry by Jacob Cats is often accompanied by well engraved images after the design of Adriaen van de Venne. Not all engravings have been signed, but engravers indicated include J. Swelinc, I. Matham, Wil. Hondius, C. v. Quiborne, D. v. Bremden & possibly others.Condition: Fine. General age related toning. Occasional light staining. Image does not show entire page.Keywords: ANTIQUE PRINT-PROVERB-QUIET-DISTURB-JACOB CATS(PCO) A135-21.

"As a collector," Kendra has explained, "it is spiritually rewarding to cultivate the child in oneself? to be open to new ways of seeing art?that reflect the condition of childhood." They have never set out to collect every important illustrator of the last two centuries.
