Second edition of both volumes of a remarkably detailed set of scale construction drawings (plans, sections, elevations, perspective views, etc., including many detail drawings of individual parts) of 18th-century Dutch waterworks, with the accompanying letterpress descriptions and notes. It includes locks, sluices, bridges, pumps, pile drivers, an ice-breaker, an elaborate water-bailing mill and more. Most of the plates measure about 45 x 54 cm, with the folding ones about 52 x 76 cm. At least most of the plates depict existing works, and the text occasionally gives some historical information. The drawings are so detailed and give such a clear picture of how the mechanisms functioned that one could use them to reconstruct the works shown.A fine copy, nearly untrimmed, with only some false folds in the half-title and an occasional minor defect in the paper. Plate 23 in volume 1 has no number, but it may have been trimmed off at the head. The inside front hinge has partly separated from the book-block, but the binding is otherwise good.

"Tileman van der Horst and Jan Schenk produced the Theatrum Machinarium Univesale, one of the most celebrated works on the construction of all those elements so necessary to keeping life dry in Amsterdam (the place of the book?s publication). It was perhaps the most important work then produced on dikes, sluices, dams, weirs, canals and swing-bridges, the very elements of existence in Holland. Jan Schenck was the engraver of this work, which may also be the most accurate and the most sumptuously illustrated book of its type in Holland in the 18th century - the technical aspects of the rendering was just superb." - Brunet V,1082 - Graesse VII, 258.…

Winter Vreugde opden Amstel en 't gaan der Ysbreekers en der waterschuiten [Winter fun on the Amstel river with the icebreaker and water barge gliding by]. Etching after a drawing by Tileman van der Horst. Printed from various copper plates. Published in 1746(') by Pieter Schenk. Coloured later by a hand. Size (print) 63 x 91 cm (frame: 89,5 x 119 cm). On the Amstel river in Amsterdam (seen towards the Weesperzijde) the icebreaker (being towed by 40 horses) draws large crowds that come see the ship passing. Many of the spectators are wearing skates and are enjoying their time on the ice. Not everyone is a good skater, some people fall whilst trying. We see various types of sledges, some horse drawn, some fancy types in the form of a stuffed bear or deer, others are more basic. Ice skating was an event for people of all classes of Dutch society. The icebreaker was a joint venture of the Amsterdam breweries. The river had to be made ice free for water barges to pass through in order to fetch fresh water from the Vecht river near the city of Weesp. In this way they were assured also in winter time of regular watersupply to produce beer. The Amsterdam brewers were afraid to lose market share to the breweries of Rotterdam, when fresh water was in short supply. The icebreaker was operated by one skipper and five workers. The ship, built in 1696, was kept available to supply water until 1860. In the 18th century at this very location alongside the Amstel, there was a tavern for the pleople working the ship and the locals of the neigbourhood. Today there is a cafe-restaurant that bears the name De Ysbreker. Literature: I.H. van Eeghen, "De IJsbreker, in: Jaarboek Amstelodamum 46 (1954), pp. 61-75. Price: Euro 5.250,- (incl. frame).…
