Set of four original colour aquatints, flowers, by John Robert Thornton. Engravings: aquatint, stipple and line. Sheet Size (not including margins): 58 x 44.5cm (22.6 x 17.4 inches) From: Temple of Flora. London, 1799-1807. The Temple of Flora is the third and final part of Robert John Thornton s New illustration of the sexual system of Carolus von Linnaeus, considered by many to be the greatest of all flower books. It consists of a series of sumptuous depictions of flowers notable for their epic and unusual settings. The first plates were engraved by Thomas Medland in May 1798 from paintings by Philip Reinagle. Between 1798 and 1807 they produced a total of thirty-three coloured plates, engraved in aquatint, stipple and line. Others engravers included Joseph Constantine Stadler working from the painting of Peter Charles Henderson. When he planned the project, Thornton had decided to publish seventy folio-size plates. Lack of interest from the general public spelled disaster for the scheme, and the holding of a lottery could not save it from financial ruin, neither did a page in the work dedicated to the spouse of George III, Queen Charlotte, patroness of botany and the fine arts. The four plates: - Tulips. Engraved by Earlom, after Reinagle. 1798. - The Superb Lily. Engraved by Earlom, after Reinagle. 1799. - Hyacinths. Engraved by Warne r, after S. Edwards. 1801. - A Group of Carnations. Engraved by Caldwall after Henderson. 1803.
Il Disegno della Geografia Moderna de Tutta la Provincia de la Italia.
Very rare! The map is engraved by Fabio Licinio. "La piu importante carta dell'Italia apparsa nel XVI secolo". This map represents the most important map of Italy that appeared in the 16th century. It will constitute the cartographic model of the peninsula in Italy for the following century. Almagia defines it as "one of the milestones in the evolution of the cartography of Italy". Gastaldi published the map in 1561, protected by the privilege that he obtained from the Venetian Senate on 29 July 1559. The map contains many improvements over previous maps. Old folds, a few reinforcements at the back, some light spotting in places, very good condition. Copper engraving, printed on paper from two plates, joined. Right plate seems to be trimmed a bit (cf. images in Bifolco-Ronca). Two watermarks: pilgrim in circle. Size (not including margins): 535 x 765mm (21.06 x 30.12 inches). Verso: Blank.
