 PIRANESI, Giovanni Battista (1720-1788)
Ruine di Sepolcro antico posto dinanzi ad altre ruine d'un Aquedotto [6]
[6]. [Rome: mid 1770s - 1790]. Etched plate, on laid paper, by Piranesi.Watermark "AMG SERARFNI FABRIANO". In good condition with large margins. Sheet size: 20 7/8 x 15 inches.
Early Piranesi masterpiece from "Prima Parte di Architetture..." included in "Opere Varie"
This early Piranesi anticipates the major themes of his career: a fascination with ruins and specifically the artisitc remains of ancient Rome. Here he portrays a somewhat chaotic scene in which an ancient tomb is being explored by three rather excited explorers, each of whom is pointing in a different direction. A stream, ultimately from the ruined aqueduct behind and above, presumably, runs through the pile to make a little waterfall, which in turn joins a small river. It's impossible to mentally reconstruct the various monuments, they've become something else. Various forms of vegetation have established themselves amid the wreckage; everything, once functional and meaningful, is now decayed, useless and somehow irrational. But for Piranesi, like the exited sightseers, it is a scene of immense fascination and beauty, and a depiction of time itself with its brief, scurrying humans and slowly decaying monuments and memories.

 PLAYING CARDS
[Carte Méthodique]
[Paris: Silvestre, no date but circa 1720-60]. 1 engraved dedication/explanation leaf (3 3/8 x 4 7/16 inches), 52 engraved cards (each 3 3/8 x 2 3/16 inches), each backed on 19th-century card. All contained within a single early 20th-century brown straight-grained morocco slipcase modelled as a book and titled in gilt on 'spine'. Provenance: Later ownership notation on verso of each card.
A very rare complete set of early 18th-century playing cards, intended as an illustration of heraldry in France.
Later issue of this ornamental set of numbered playing cards in the French suit system (hearts, clubs, diamonds, spades), after a presumed first of 1712. The set as a whole is intended to offer a simple explanation and illustration of the science of Heraldry, with each of the cards featuring one or more shields. These shields are used as a demonstration of a particular heraldic term, but also include a caption naming the French family whose arms they represent. A number of the cards are enlivened by one or more figures. This set is likely to be from one of three known issues of the Carte Methodique recorded by the Cary Collection at Yale University. In each of the three known sets, the imprint of the publisher appears printed on the whole sheet of cards. For the present set, this information was lost when the sheet was cut to form the present fifty-three separate cards.

Pasquin's Windkaart op de Windnegotie Van't Iaar 1720
[Amsterdam: Nullenstein Lautje van Schotten, no date but circa 1721]. 54 engraved cards (each 3 3/8 x 1 15/16 inches), comprising 52 playing cards, 1 title card and 1 publisher's card, each backed onto 19th-century heavy card. All contained within a single early 20th-century brown straight-grained morocco slipcase modelled as a book and titled in gilt on 'spine'. Provenance: Later ownership notation in a single unidentified hand on verso of each card.
John Law's Comeuppance or: the Mississippi Bubble in Playing Cards - an attractive and extremely rare complete set of early-18th century playing cards, rooted in a great early American land scheme.
Second edition, after the first of the previous year. The first edition was issued with a title card reading, April Kaart of Kaart spel Van Momus naar de nieuwste Mode. Cards in both editions consist of an allegorical image set above humorous couplets. While the images in each set are primarily the same, the couplets are entirely different. According to Hargrave, a booklet was also issued with these cards, but it is absent here.
This ornamental set of playing cards in the French suit system (hearts, clubs, diamonds, spades) lampoons John Law's Mississippi Bubble scheme, the South Sea Company, and other parties engaged in the disastrous speculation. The publisher's card bears the image of a large cock, which also appeared on John Law's arms. "John Law's Mississippi Bubble scheme started about 1717, was at its height in 1719, and collapsed in 1720 causing Law to flee from Paris. There are several allusions to the South Sea Company. On the three of spades, the three companies, the South Sea, the Mississippi, and the West Indian, sit side by side in a swing. On the four of spades, Madame la Petite [represented here as a black cat] is supposed to mean the wife of Thomas Knight, the cashier of the South Sea Company, who bought his shares in her name" - Hargrave. This series of cards can also be found as a plate in the Het Goote Tafereel der Dwaasheid... (Amsterdam, 1720), the great Mississippi Bubble satirical plate book. Here the engraved area of the cards is slightly taller, which confirms the present set is from an entirely different engraving than that which appears in the book.
This set is the second in a series of satirical Dutch playing cards. A set issued in 1719 made fun of a series of Papal scandals and was suppressed by the Catholic Church. A later set, done in 1740, satirized the various peoples of the world.

 POCOCKE, Richard (1704-1765)
A Description of the East, and Some other Countries ... Observations on Egypt; [Vol. II, part 1: Observations on Palæstine or the Holy Land, Syria, Mesopotamia, Cyprus, and Candia; Vol. II, part 2: Observations on the Islands of the Archipelago, Asia Minor, Thrace, Greece, and some other parts of Europe]
London: W. Bowyer, 1734-1735. Two volumes in 3, folio (15 12/ x 10 inches). 3 engraved title vignettes, 1 engraved dedication leaf bound at the front of vol.I, 178 engraved plates, plans and maps (17 folding, the 12 botanical plates by G.D. Ehret, the others unsigned), 1 headpiece, 1 illustration. (5 plates shaved close). Contemporary calf gilt, covers with overall abstract design in red and blue translucent dyes, triple fillet border in gilt, spines gilt in seven compartments with raised bands, light brown morocco lettering-pieces in the second and third compartments, the others with repeat pattern in gilt, gilt turn-ins, comb-marbled endpapers, marbled edges.
A very fine set of the first edition of one of the first accurate records of Middle-Eastern antiquities and culture to be published in the modern era.
After graduating from Oxford, Pococke spent three years travelling in the Middle East, from 1735 to 1738. He evidently combined determined scholarly curiousity with artistic ability of a high order, as the present work so ably demonstrates. He provides descriptions of all aspects of the country, its history and culture as well as plates of costumes, plants and views as well as detailed plans. As one of the first Englishmen to record his journey up the Nile, his beautifully illustrated account is particularly valuable as an early record of Egyptian antiquities as they stood at the start of the modern era. Pococke visited Thebes and travelled as far south as Philae and the First Cataract at Philae. On his return journey northwards he met up, by chance, with the Danish traveller Frederik Norden (1708-1742). Norden continued southwards, eventually reaching Derr. Both travellers made careful drawings of the Great Sphinx at Giza, but Pococke employed some artistic license and replaced the colossal statue's missing nose, whilst Norden pictured what he saw. The publication of the present work brought a degree of prestige to Pococke and subsequently he was a founder member of the Egyptian Club which was made up of gentlemen who had visited Egypt (Norden was another founder member).

Pohl's magisterial Plantarum Brasiliae, one of the most important Brazilian floras, was based on observations and collections that Pohl made while travelling in Brazil from 1817 to 1821. Published upon his return to Vienna, the plates were issued as outline lithographic drawings, or, as here, fully hand-coloured pictures printed on larger sheets of paper. Pohl was curator of the Vienna Natural History Museum and the Vienna Brasilian Museum.
Cf. Cleveland Collections, 928; cf. Dunthorne, 226; cf. Great Flower Books (1990), p.125; cf. Nissen, BBI, 1551; cf. Pritzel, 7231; cf. Stafleu & Cowan,TL2, 8103.

 POITEAU, Antoine (1766-1854) and Pierre-Jean-François TURPIN (1775-1840)
Chevreuse tardive [Peach] [Pl. 238]
[Pl. 238]. Paris and Strasbourg: Levrault, [1807-] 1835. Stipple-engraving, printed in colours and finished by hand with water-colour, engraved by Bouquet after Poiteau. Very good condition apart from some light soiling and minor foxing, slight yellowing of the paper due to age, two natural paper creases in the bottom margin, and some offsetting with image. Plate mark: 12 1/2 x 9 3/4 inches. Sheet size: 18 3/4 x 12 3/8 inches.
A masterpiece of pomological illustration by one of the greatest fruit painters of the 19th century, from Duhamel du Monceau's 'Traité des arbres fruitiers', a work that is rightly described by Dunthorne as 'one of the finest and rarest books on fruit'.
The production of these delightful and beautifully coloured plates involved a team of over twenty engravers, while the colour-printing was done solely by Langlois, the great French colour-printer who supervised Redouté's work. They skillfully capture the beauty and subtle richness of colour of the original watercolour paintings. The use of the coloured stipple engraving is here seen at its peak.
Poiteau, a pupil of Redouté, trained as a botanist and was employed at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Turpin, a self-taught artist, went on to illustrate a number of his own works.
