Full Calf. Zustand: Very Good+. Later Edition. Later Edition. Full Calf. "Dance of Death": late-medieval allegory on the universality of death. With Hans Holbein the Younger, the Danse macabre takes on a completely new artistic form. This depicts the brutal irruption of Death in work and the joy of living. This representation takes precedence over the idea that death spares no social class. In 1538, with the publication of Les simulacres de la Mort, Hans Holbein the Younger redefines the theme of the danse macabre. Death, always aggressive and jubilant, no longer dances in a long farandole, but intervenes directly in scenes of daily life. This is a series of [32] engraving with a folding plate, which were originally executed around 1804. This edition has continuous pagination and is in English, beginning with a divisional title: 'Descriptions of the cuts in Hollar's Dance of death.' The final part 'The Dance of Macaber.' Collation: A2-B-F8? Pagination: [2],81p,[1], 32 plates [2 frontis, 1 folding, 29 engraved leaves.] This copy also includes handwritten inscriptions on the plates of Biblical verses from Genesis on several leaves. Completely detached front board, shaken rear, rubbing/bumping to extremities, otherwise a good copy. Full mottled [tree] calf with gilt spine/edging decorations. 4to. 81pp. Illus.

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.

An impressive collection of full-page engravings after Holbein's legendary portraits of Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn, Sir Thomas More, a young Edward VI, Anne of Cleves, and other court figures, with frontispiece portraits of Holbein and his wife. Of the listed plates, all but four portraits are engraved by the great Bartolozzi. In total, eighty-two plates are in color with four on lavender paper, sixty-three on pink, thirteen on white/buff), inclusive of one sheet with double portrait of Henry and Charles Brandon finished by hand.

Overall a very good copy of a magnificent work. German artist Hans Holbein the Younger ranks "as one of the best portrait-painters in the world. He combined artistic beauty and precision of technical execution with extraordinary truth to nature and power of interpretation of character." Holbein, born in 1497, first "arrived in England in the 18th year of the reign of Henry VIII. Sir Thomas More was then Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Warham. was Archbishop of Canterbury. Through them Holbein obtained easy access to the leading men of the court," painting portraits of Moore, Warham and many others before returning home. He journeyed back to England in 1532, where, by 1536, he was in service as "'the king's painter' and in that year he painted the new queen, Jane Seymour." In 1539, as a New Year's gift to the king, "he gave 'a table of the pictour of the prince's grace,' possibly the portrait of the infant Edward VI at Hanover. His portrait of Anne of Cleves (perhaps the one now in the Louvre) was sufficiently attractive to decide the king in her favour" (DNB). The majestic portraiture of Holbein, who died in London in 1543, "remains unsurpassed for sureness and economy of statement, penetration into character, and a combined richness and purity of style" (Waterhouse). At the end of the 18th century, John Chamberlaine, in the court of George III, sought to bring together a work to pay tribute to Holbein's magnificent artistry. There had been previous unsuccessful attempts to publish the portraits in engraved reproductions, such as a 1792 volume containing 33 plates of poor quality, titled The Court of Henry the Eighth. Yet Chamberlain succeeded where others failed, for as the king's Keeper of the Drawings, he assembled, in this Imitations of Original Drawings by Hans Holbein, 84 splendid color stipple-engraved full-page portraits of Edward VI, Anne Boleyn, Thomas More, Jane Seymour, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Anne of Cleves, and other major figures of the age. "One of the most magnificent books that we have ever seen, and, whether we consider the genius of the painter or the talents of the engravers, reflects high honor on the age and nation which produced it" (London Monthly Review). Sir Walter Scott praised it as "a collection which at once satisfies the imagination and the understanding, showing us. how the most distinguished of our ancestors looked, moved and dressed, and. how they thought, acted, lived, and died" (Allibone, 1120). Color-inked on the plates, these intricate stipple-engraved portraits comprise "inestimable examples of English color printing at its best" (Joan Friedman). "This magnificent work is surely the finest early example of English color printing. The reduced reissue of 1812, reprinted in 1828, gives no idea of the book's quality" (Ray English 19). "In every way a splendid book" (Abbey Life 205). Initially issued serially in 14 parts from 1792-1800. This volume's 86 beautiful portraits were achieved with techniques that admirably succeed in honoring Holbein's portraiture. The plates were etched or engraved in gray or sepia ink, with additional colored inks applied a la poupee, two hand-colored. Text by Edmund Lodge. (Abbey Life 206). Lowndes 1381. Abbey Life 205, 206.
