London 1923, 128 pp., not ill., library stamps (code B-162).

162 x 117 mm. (6 3/8 x 4 5/8"). Single column, 17 ruled lines, text in a bâtarde hand. Text in gold, blue, and red, "KL" in scrolling white letters on a gold ground with small blue and red blossoms, both sides with panel border of acanthus, flowers, small ink dots, and gold bezants, WITH TWO SMALL MINIATURES showing the labor of the month (Threshing) on recto, and the zodiac sign (Virgo) on verso. âSmall wrinkle in lower margin just touching the lower edge of the miniatures, trivial smudging, but IN VERY FINE CONDITION, the vellum especially clean and bright, the paint quite rich, and the miniatures extremely well preserved. With clean, white vellum, small but appealing miniatures, and attractive lettering and decoration, this is a desirable example of a calendar leaf from a high-quality Book of Hours likely made in Rouen. According to Roger Wieck, far fewer than half the Books of Hours of the period contain illustrated calendars, "even in manuscripts with otherwise lavish cycles of miniatures"; when they do appear, they are invariably charming, as is the case here. In the lower margin of the recto is a small miniature depicting the typical labor for August, "Threshing," in which a young layman brings down his grain flail (two hinged pieces of wood, the longer one called a helve, and the other a beater, joined by a thong) in an effort to separate the grain, while neatly stacked unprocessed clumps of straw appear just behind it. On the verso we see a representation of Virgo as a young woman holding, appropriately, a long sheaf of grain in her hand. While most of the feast days that appear in the calendar are typical for the period, the inclusion of St. Sauveur (i.e. Transfiguratio Domini) on 6 August is characteristic of a calendar for the use of Rouen, suggesting that the parent manuscript may have been produced in that place or the region around it.

180 x 117 mm. (7 x 4 5/8"). Single column, 18 lines, text in a bâtarde hand. Text in red, blue, and gold, two-line "KL" in shell gold on blue and red ground, both sides with panel border composed of flowers and ink dots, WITH TWO SMALL MINIATURES, each centered in the middle of the panel borders, featuring the labor of the month (Threshing) and the zodiac sign (a young woman for Virgo). Vellum a bit soiled and slight wrinkling in margins, small area of rubbing at bottom of the Virgo miniature, but in excellent condition overall, the fine details in the miniatures well preserved. Situated among the flowers of the panel borders here are two small but charming miniatures depicting the labor of the month, "Threshing," and the zodiac sign for August. According to Roger Wieck, far fewer than half the Books of Hours of the period contain illustrated calendars, "even in manuscripts with otherwise lavish cycles of miniatures"; when they do appear, they are invariably charming, as is the case here. In the threshing scene, a young layman brings down his grain flail (two hinged pieces of wood, the longer one called a helve, and the other a beater, joined by a thong) in an effort to separate the grain, while neatly gathered bushels of straw appear just behind him. On the verso we see a representation of Virgo as a young woman holding, appropriately, two long stalks of grain in her hands. The rich palette used in these miniatures allows the delicate gold highlighting on the harvested crop and garments to shine through, adding a fine sense of detail to each image.

173 x 130 mm. (6 3/4 x 5 1/8"). Single column, 16 ruled lines, text in a gothic book hand. Text in gold, blue, and dark pink, "KL" in blue with white tracery on a gold ground decorated with dark pink baubles and leaves and with a floral spray extension, both sides with panel border composed of densely packed acanthus, flowers, and hairline vines with gold bezants, WITH A SMALL ROUNDEL MINIATURE at the bottom depicting the labor of the month (Pruning) set on a panel of flowers, hairline vines, and gold bezants. With numbering to the left of the golden numbers and a few calendar entries in a later hand. âLight soiling to vellum, a few small smudges in the borders, a little paint transfer affecting a couple lines of text and margins of the verso, but these issues all very minor, and on the whole in fine condition with a particularly well-preserved miniature with rich, uneroded paint. With lovely panel borders and a particularly charming roundel miniature showing the labor of the month, this leaf likely comes from a high-quality manuscript made for a person of means. Though miniatures depicting the labors of the month are often illustrated with just a single person performing the task, here we are treated to two laypeople--a man and a woman--working together to prune and break ground in their field. The man appears to be carrying an axe for trimming branches, while the woman carries a long stick to loosen dirt for spring plantings. The names of several saints have been added to the calendar by a later hand, though it would appear that they were erroneously placed in March: St. Hugh belongs on 9 April, Pope Leo on 11 April, and St. Tiburtius on 14 April. While almost all of these feast days are commonly found in Books of Hours of this period, Hugh (Bishop of Rouen) is slightly unusual, suggesting that the manuscript may have been made in, or at least ended up in, Rouen.

A Paris, Avec Priuilege de Roy, 1636. Four original etchings by Callot, published by Henriet who added a frontispiece (title) etched by Abrahem Bosse. Comprising frontispiece and 3 etchings (ca. 59 x 120 mm.), numbered 1,2 a. 3 in the plate. All 4 mounted and framed in two (29 x 20 cm.). Mildly brownspotted. The "Small miseries of the War" was unfinished - there was only published 7 etchings (the 4 first offered here).Callot was one of the first great artists to practise the graphic art exclusively. His innovative series of prints documenting the horrors of War (of which his series "Les Miseres et les Mal-Heurs De la Guerre" (Great Miseries of War) is the most famous) greatly influenced the socially conscious artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. For instance its themes and imagery were used as a source by Goya and he is acknowledged as equal to the three great: Dürer, Rembrandt, Goya. It is said that no one ever to such an extent possessed the talent of grouping a large number of figures in a small space, and of representing with two or three bold strokes the expression, action and peculiar features of each individual. Brunet I, 1488 (17).
