J. S. Virtue & Co, London. Three-Quarter Leather. Book Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Elephant Folio - over 15 - 23 tall. Beautiful book of engravings by various artists. Engravings are full page and following each is another page giving a description of the engraving. There is slight soiling on some of the pages but generally the plates are in very nice condition. The blank page inside the front e/p is creased. The black has worn off the leather on edges, corners and down spine. There is some splitting of external spine. This is more cosmetic than structural and the binding is tight. Originally 45 engravings, unfortunately one has been removed. Plates are as follows The Triumph of Galatea by Domenichino The Hawking Party at Rest by Wouvermans Titian's Daughter by Titian Apotheosis of the Virgin by Murillo The Alchemist by A Van Ostade The Misers by Q Matsys The Windmill by J Ruysdael St. Martin Deviding his Cloak by Rubens Going to the Ferry by Wouvermans The Madonna and Child by Raffaelle Dead Christ Supported by Cherubs by Giorgione The Infant Christ by C Maratti Weary Travellers by Rembrandt The Springhead by F Zuccherelli (MISSING) The Martyr St. Sebastian and his Companions by P Veronese The Madonna by C Dolci Children of Charles the First by Van Dyck Procession of the Virgin by G Bellini The Villiage Fete by Teniers St Catherine by Guido Abundance by Van Eycken The Bunch of Grapes by Metzu Silence! by Carracci The Marriage of St Catherine by Correggio The Negro Page by Cuyp St Catherine by Domenichino The River Bank by Van Der Heyden The Writing Master by Mieris Pastoral With Animals by Bassano The Daughter of Jeruselem by Giordano The Storm by Van Der Velde A Spanish Lady by Velasquez The Marriage at Cana by Padovanino The Agony in the Garden by Basaiti The Misers by Teniers The Dogana, Venice by Canaletto The Birth of Christ by De Conegliano Crossing the Ford by Berghem The Glory of St. Lorenzo Giustiniani by Pordenone The Old Mill by Hobbema Soldiers Gambling by Salvator Rosa The Miracle of St. Mark by Tintoretto The Old Woman's Feast by G Douw Milking Time by P Potter The Woman of Samaria by Guercino The Miraculous Ring of St. Mark by Bordone This is a very heavy book but we will ship at the quoted price.
