The World on Stone The World on Stone Shapero RARE BOOKS The World on Stone Nineteenth-century lithograph view books 32 Saint George Street London W1S 2EA +44 (0)20 7493 0876 [email protected] www.shapero.com INTRODUCTION Lithography, a technique of printing on stone, which originated at the end of the eighteenth century, enabled an easier and less costly transfer of an artist’s drawings into printed form than had hitherto been possible. It also lent itself to capturing the fluidity and sense of the moment that is the essence of a sketch. Amongst the artists who took advantage of this development were those indefatigable travellers who ventured across the globe recording beautiful and striking topographical views, as well as the costume and manners of peoples in far-flung corners of the world. Some of these artists were military officers recording various campaigns, others were travelling under the patronage of the wealthy back home. This catalogue includes the work of some of the finest of the artists: Lear, Lewis, Prout, Roberts and Wilkie. It also contains two works by Girault de Prangey, a pioneer of the daguerreotype, who worked up his sketches from his photographic images. The subjects include the Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, the West Indies, United States, South America, India, Russia, and the Levant. We hope you will find something to interest you amongst these magnificent publications. ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STRETCHES OF THE RIVER THAMES 1. ALFRED, HENRY J. Views on the Thames.

London, Murray, 1840. £7,500 [ref: 90201] RARE FIRST EDITION WITH HAND-COLOURED ILLUSTRATIONS DEPICTING THE RIVER NIGER. A scarce book in any format - the subscriber list accounts for some 235 copies only - very few of these were hand-coloured and in this format is very rare. Whilst remembered for commanding the Wilberforce on Trotter’s disastrous Niger expedition of 1841, William Allen (a Royal Navy officer) had already navigated the river in 1832 with Richard Lemon Lander and Macgregor Laird, and published this series of illustrations documenting their trip. Allen was a talented artist whose work was exhibited several times at the Royal Academy. On publication the book attracted a strong list of subscribers, including Robert Schomburgk, the eminent explorer. It includes several panoramas and strip views of the river, its natural surroundings and riverside towns such as Rabba, Nigeria. This work makes a great visual companion to the works of exploration concerning the Niger. First edition. Landscape folio (27 x 38 cm), vi, [7]-18 pp., hand-coloured lithograph map and 10 hand-coloured lithographs (including one folding panorama and some with two or more images), 2pp. list of subscribers at end, original printed wrappers, spine renewed, well preserved in modern morocco-backed cloth box, a fine copy.

London McLean, 1847. £17,500 [ref: 93765] Angas (1822-1886), was perhaps the most brilliant British depictor of ethnographic types. To perfect himself as a draughtsman, in 1842, he studied anatomical drawing in London, and also learned the art of lithography. In September 1843 he went to South Australia, a colony of which his father was one of the founders. There he joined several of (Sir) George Grey’s expeditions, and made sketches in watercolours of the scenery, aborigines, and natural history of South Australia. Proceeding to New Zealand, he travelled over eight hundred miles on foot in the wildest regions, and made sketches of the country as he journeyed. Returning to England, he published his sketches in 1847 in two folio volumes, entitled ‘South Australia Illustrated’ and ‘The New Zealanders Illustrated’. These, along with his South African volume, form a cornerstone of colour-plate travel literature. This work features marvelous plates of the Maori and their environment. Angas depicts them swinging from a pole by rope; their tattoos, etc. First edition in book form. Folio (55.5 x 37 cm). Additional hand-coloured lithograph title-page, 60 hand-coloured lithographs, minimal light foxing, contemporary half red morocco, a bit rubbed, rebacked preserving original spine, a very good example.

London, Thomas McLean, 1847. £22,500 [ref: 98294] Angas, born in 1822 at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, spent two years from 1843 sketching extensively in South Australia and New Zealand, producing 2 large folio volumes on the respective subjects in 1847. ‘South Australia illustrated is without question Angas’s greatest and most accomplished work. his views of towns and scenery, of the Aborigines and of the flora and fauna offer an outstanding - if romantic- interpretation of the Australian landscape. It is a rare book... and one that has always been held in high esteem. It must be considered one of the fundamental works in any collection of Australian plate books and no collection can be considered complete without it’ (Wantrup). First edition. Large folio (56 x 38 cm approx.), hand-coloured lithograph pictorial title, subscription list, 60 hand-coloured lithographs by Angas, Giles, Hawkins, and Wing, after Gill (2) and Angas (58), modern green half morocco gilt, a little light spotting, plates 10, 31-33, 43-45, 53, and 59 with browning and sometimes heavier spotting, original tissue guards a bit stained, a very good copy.

Abbey (Travel), 486. Shapero Rare Books 9 RARE DELUXE ISSUE WITH THE PLATES MOUNTED ON CARD 8. ATKINSON, JAMES. Sketches in Afghaunistan. London, Graves, 1842. £30,000 [ref: 91899] THE RARE DELUXE ISSUE WITH THE ILLUSTRATIONS PRINTED ON FINE PAPER AND MOUNTED ON CARD. One of the classic illustrated books on Afghanistan. The plates include fine views of Kabul, Ghuznee, Kwettah, etc. and the work provides a valuable pictorial record of what was then an unexplored country. Accomplished in literature and art, both a scholar and a popular writer, James Atkinson (1780-1852) was a pioneer of oriental research. He had originally studied medicine and it was in this capacity that in 1838 he was appointed superintending surgeon to the army of the Indus, and accompanied it on its march to Kabul. Fortunately for him, he was relieved shortly after the surrender of Dost Mohammad, and, returning to Bengal in 1841, escaped the fate which awaited the army of occupation. First edition. Large folio 57x 46.5 cm. approx., title-page vignette and 25 lithographs all hand-coloured and mounted on card as issued, complete with list of plates printed in blue, a fine fresh copy, original dark red half morocco portfolio, morocco lettering piece to upper cover, an excellent example.

Height: 91.7 cm (36") Width: 120.3 cm (47 1/4") Framed Height: 103 cm (40 1/2") Framed Width: 140.5 cm (55 1/4") 1 https://johnbennettfinepaintings.com/the-falls-of-tivoli-with-the-temple-of-vesta 26/09/2021 Short Description The Falls of Tivoli with the Temple of Vesta M H Grant, in his Dictionary of English Landscape Painters, writes of William Wyld that: “A notable painter who passed his life in Paris, where he influenced greatly the French artists around him.” Wyld was born to a family of comfortable means and influence having been well-to-do merchants for several generations. A young uncle, who had instilled an interest in painting in the child William, left his artist’s materials to him upon his premature death. The six year old displayed a precocious and prodigious talent for drawing but it was clear that his family had a diplomatic service career in mind for him as he was sent to Calais in 1826 to become secretary to the British Consulate, working under Lord Granville. The posting proved to be fortuitous for Wyld as he met there the French watercolourist and teacher of Richard Parkes Bonington, François Louis Thomas Francia. Francia, who had come to London as an émigré and had exhibited at the Royal Academy while he was resident there. Francia was a great admirer of the important English painter Thomas Girtin and agreed to take on Wyld as a pupil.

  • Sketchbook 46 Introduction
    Introduction to SSB 46 (15 February–27 July 1857) by Philip Cottrell NB. All page references are to SSB 46 and catalogue numbers refer to items from the Art Treasures Exhibition’s Gallery of Ancient Masters unless otherwise specified. SSB 46 contains sketches of around seventy Art Treasures items, and encompasses the longest chronological span of any of the sketchbooks associated with the exhibition, a six- month period from mid-February to the end of July 1857. This has a lot to do with Scharf’s increasing workload at Old Trafford, and his inability to continuously update the content of the sketchbook for days, sometimes weeks, on end. Between February and April Scharf slowed and eventually concluded his countrywide survey of British collections, gradually abandoning plans for tours of Scotland, Ireland and the East of England. As paintings finally began to arrive at the Art Treasures Palace during March and April, he began hurriedly organising the hang of the Gallery of Ancient Masters in time for the opening of the exhibition on Tuesday 5 May.1 He was required to attend various official events associated with the exhibition thereafter, and worked intensively to complete his contribution to its definitive catalogue, which was not ready until the end of May (although a far more abbreviated, provisional edition had been issued in time for the exhibition’s opening). During this month and the next, Scharf was constantly shuttling between London and Manchester in order to fulfil a series of weekly Saturday lectures at Queens College, London. He also had to attend board meetings associated with his new appointment as Secretary to the recently formed National Portrait Gallery which he had secured in early March.
