He continues by expressing his satisfaction on hearing that Stocks is 'about to practice your profession in Leamington as a teacher of Landscape[.] I can have no doubt of your success from the works I have seen of yours in our public exhibitions, as well as from the one which I had the pleasure of purchasing for the Kensington Collection' [Stocks's 'The Last Gleam', in the Victoria and Albert Museum]. That picture gives him 'equal satisfaction now as when I first obtained it'. He is also aware of 'how constantly you have studied nature in my own neighbourhood in the country'.

2pp., 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. The letter has two themes. First, the condition of Osborne's eye following his departure from the Hospital for Tropical Diseases and treatment for amoebic dysentery. ('I have been away in Worcestershire having a slack time on a fruit farm. On my return I must have used the eye more than it could stand, and it became inflamed badly. [] I do hope your eye is now behaving itself and that you will soon be out of the doctor's hands and able to resume your work. For I know well what you must be feeling.') Second, Codner's need for the address of Emery Walker Ltd, 'the firm who undertake reproductions of pictures by photogravure or colotype'. He concludes: 'If your client prefers a Mezzotint Engraving, which is of course more satisfactory, perhaps you could find out what he thinks it should cost & I may be able to put you in touch with a good engraver.'.…

Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: None Issued. AN UNFORGETTABLE VISION OF CALIFORNIA BEFORE THE MODERN AGE A dramatic nineteenth-century hand-colored steel engraving depicting three mounted Native Californian horsemen confronting a charging California grizzly bear. One rider casts a lariat while two companions, rifles in hand, close the distance, capturing a moment of extraordinary tension that became one of the most memorable frontier images published in Picturesque America. Drawn by celebrated American illustrator Felix O. C. Darley and masterfully engraved by Francis Holl, the print combines documentary interest with romantic storytelling. Rich hand coloring heightens the action while preserving the remarkable line work characteristic of fine steel engraving. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Original hand-colored steel engraving Professionally matted; the print has not been examined outside the mat, and the method of original issue cannot be confirmed. Published in Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In., edited by William Cullen Bryant. Visible image measures approximately 8? × 5? inches (15 × 21.4 cm). Sheet measures approximately 9¼ × 12½ inches (23.5 × 31.8 cm). Professionally matted to approximately 15¾ × 13 inches using a double mat with gilt rule, ready for framing or display. Engraved from the original drawing by Felix O. C. Darley. Published by D. Appleton & Company, New York. CONDITION: Fine. The engraving presents beautifully with exceptionally fresh hand coloring and strong plate impression. The paper displays only light, even age toning consistent with its age. No tears, repairs, foxing, or other condition issues are evident within the visible image. The print has not been examined outside its archival mat, which remains clean and suitable for display. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Romanticizing the American Frontier Published during the great age of illustrated American travel books, this engraving reflects how nineteenth-century audiences imagined the landscapes, wildlife, and Indigenous peoples of the Far West. Rather than functioning as a purely documentary image, it presents California as a place of danger, adventure, and heroic encounters with nature, reinforcing the romantic vision that characterized much of the nation's illustrated publishing following the Civil War. ONE OF THE MOST DRAMATIC WESTERN PLATES IN PICTURESQUE AMERICA Picturesque America became one of the most influential illustrated works of its era, introducing readers to the nation's scenery, cities, and frontier through the work of America's leading artists and engravers. Darley's dynamic compositions helped shape popular perceptions of the American West for generations, while Francis Holl's finely executed steel engraving preserves every detail of the original drawing with remarkable precision. Today the print appeals to collectors of California history, Western Americana, Native American imagery, sporting art, nineteenth-century illustration, and the golden age of American book engraving.

Condición: Good. Folio. 11 x 15 inches. Parts 1-4 only (of 8). Each containing 8 steel-engraved plates in India paper, mounted on French plate paper, each with accompanying letterpress. (Folio) 38 x2 7.5 cm (15 x 11") loose in original pictorial board portfolios, as issued. The prints are artists proofs before letters. The publisher's prospectus, printed inside the front boards explains: "It was known that the extensive bank-note system of our country had developed a style of engraving superior in brilliancy and effect to almost anything which the European burins afford, but which, from its peculiarly laborious and costly method, has been confined nearly exclusively to bank-note dies. In order, therefore, to secure these Vignettes a style of execution which should commend them to all patrons of art, it was determined to have them engraved, so far as practicable, by the leading artists of this much admired school. It was the first attempt, it is believed, to introduce the deep cutting and solid lining of a bank-note die into book work, and was only accomplished at a cost fully double that usually paid for book illustrations of a similar character . . . No work of the same magnitude and kind has hitherto been accomplished in this country.". The edition was limited to 500 impressions. Scarce.Library of Congress Control Number 17002065.…

Redgrave's entry in the Oxford DNB praises his 'exceptional administrative skill', and states that 'Redgrave and Cole supervised the new South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum), for which Redgrave designed the innovative art gallery to house John Sheepshanks's extensive collection of British art, given to the state in 1857.' 1p, 12mo.

They are in addition 'deficient in gallery space', if the National Portrait Gallery were 'better off in this respect' the recipient's offer would be one they would be better placed to entertain.…

No Binding. Condición: Very Good. A fine original chromo-lithograph print from "Souvenirs de Constantinople" by Brindesi, printed in 1845. Framed, but will be sent no frame. 52x49 cm / 39x 44 cm print area. Stains on right bottom margins of the paper. The Ottoman navy, stationed in front of the Tophane Artillery barracks, is preparing to sail under the leadership of Kapudan Pasha's ship "Amiraute". Jean Brindesi was born in 1826 and worked primarily as a watercolour artist. During the Abdulmecid period (1831-1861), he worked on scenes involving soldiers in Istanbul. Two albums of lithographs after his drawings were produced by Lemercier in Paris: Elbicei Atika - Musee des Anciens Costumes Turcs de Constantinople, 1855, and Souvenirs de Constantinople, 1860; these two works are collections of picturesque views of the city of Constantinople. The originals are kept at the Istanbul Topkapi Palace Museum and at the University of Istanbul. (Source: Levantine Heritage).…
