Large folio (440 x 560 mm). (8), IV pp. With 84 stipple engravings printed in colours on 83 sheets, all but four by F. Bartolozzi after Holbein, with 37 on pink paper, 33 on pink paper mounted on white sheets, and 15 on white paper, each facing 1 f. of unpaginated text. Early 19th century red straight-grained morocco, extensively tooled in gilt. A fine copy of the first edition. This impressive example of 18th century British colour printing in an elaborate binding, boasting over eighty very fine plates, has been hailed as the best of its kind: "This magnificent work is surely the finest example of English color printing" (Ray); "In every way a splendid book" (Abbey). The original Holbein drawings upon which these prints are based were nearly lost, and were hardly seen for centuries until their rediscovery by none other than Queen Caroline of England. Upon being liberated from a bureau of the queen's personal closet at Kensington Palace, colour printed 'imitations' of the drawings were subsequently published under the auspices of John Chamberlaine (1745-1812), Keeper of the drawings of George III. Hardie writes of the copies that "there are few, if any, results more successfully and adequately achieved than these stippled illustrations". Biographical notices were provided by Edmund Lodge (1756-1839), and the whole work was issued over the years 1792 to 1800, with plates known in several states. The present copy includes plates on pink paper, on pink paper mounted on white sheets, and a few on white paper. - Holbein's portraits of the court of Henry VIII are not only beloved for their striking and vivid artistry, but for the way they define the image of the entire Tudor period. The finely produced prints showcase Holbein's abilities as a portraitist of some of the most famous - and infamous - faces in British history. - Light spotting; a couple of captions trimmed close. In very good condition. - Sold at Sotheby's 18 December 1986, lot 232. Previously in the private collection of Gilbert Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, 1st Earl of Minto (1751-1814), with his armorial bookplate on front pastedown. - Abbey, Life, 205. Bobins II, 667. Ray 19.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First. THE NEBENZAHL COPY, CONTAINING THE FIRST MAP TO SHOW THE EARTH REVOLVING ON ITS AXIS. First edition, map state A. Basel: Io[hannes] Hervagius, 1532. Folio in 6s (11 5/8" x 8 1/16", 296mm x 205mm). [Full collation available.] With a folding woodcut map (Harrisse A) of the world (inserted at pp. 11-12). Bound in (1581, per the front board) calf over beveled wooden boards with clasps. On the front, a silver (in all instances oxidized to black) Crucifixion within blind borders within a silver repeating allegorical border with the figures of the four Virtues within a blind border, with silver corner-fleurons within a blind border. On the rear, an Annunciation at the center, otherwise identical. On the spine, four raised bands with blind fillets. In the panels, blind borders. Paper label manuscript to the first panel. Brass catches with clasp (one lacking) incised with hatching, rays and concentric circles. All edges of the text-block dotted in red and blue. Lacking one clasp. Staining to the boards. Fore-corners (except the lower rear) worn. Head- and tail-pieces perished. Front board split, but binding cords firm. The map has some small repaired tears at the folds, but is altogether very good. Scattered worming to the boards, and one discreet wormhole from 2b2 through to the rear board (with a patch of worming to the rear paste-down and free end-paper. Scattered tanning. In a sixteenth-century hand, some ink marginalia and underlining throughout but concentrations of intense comment from pp. 298-363 and 2318-323 (mis-numbered 327). In all, a volume that has been used and perused, but still robust and solid. With the bookplate of Kenneth Nebenzahl (Christie's New York, 9 April 2012, lot 65). Although the map (rightly) has a nearly electromagnetic pull, being the first to indicate Copernicus' model of the revolving world (predating his 1543 De revolutionibus by 11 years), the book in which it was published is monumental in its own right: the first collection of voyages. Johann Huttich (Huttichius, 1490-1544) gained access to the accounts of Spanish and Portuguese (or Iberian-funded) explorers of the Americas in addition to a great many voyages elsewhere (including Marco Polo) in Eurasia. Their union in a single edited work is the first time we can discern the genre of voyages. Simon Grynaeus (Griner, 1493-1541) was principally a prefator. To Sebastian Münster (1488-1552) Shirley attributes the map. Hans Holbein (The Younger, 1497-1543) cut the fanciful border of the map with its cannibals and elephant hunt. In short, the Novus Orbus is the collective effort of some of the great humane minds of the Protestant Reformation. The map is Harrisse A ("we are inclined to consider as the genuine map;" Shirley is agnostic about precedence), distinguished by the large "ASIA". Münster (or Holbein) indicates the revolving world with angels at the North and South Poles powering the revolution via crank. Widukind of Corvey's (ca. 925-973) chronicle of the Saxons up through the Xc, known as the Res gestae saxonicae, is published here for the first time by Martin Frecht (1494-1556). Often the only account of crucial portions of Saxon history, it also takes as its basis local and oral traditions rather than Roman (or southern) accounts, which are often biased and inaccurate. The present volume comes from the distinguished collection of Kenneth Nebenzahl Jr. (1927-2020), whose 2012 Christie's sale fetched some $11.6M. He was a dealer of the highest order, specializing in maps. Indeed, the Nebenzahl Lectures in the History of Cartography at the Newberry Library in Chicago (the first speaker was the great authority R.A. Skelton) are among the most important landmarks in the field. It is difficult to imagine a superior provenance for such a vital volume.
