Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This innovative volume introduces Trajectory Analysis, a new systems-based approach to measuring nonlinear dynamics in continuous change, to public health and epidemiology. It synthesizes influential strands of statistical and probability science (including chaos theory and catastrophe theory) to complement existing methods and models used in the health fields. The computational framework featured here pinpoints complex cause-and-effect processes in behavioral change as individuals and populations adjust to health interventions, with examples from neuroscience and cardiology. But this is no mere academic exercise, as the author illustrates how these methods can be harnessed toward finding real-world answers to longstanding public health problems, starting with treatment recidivism. Included in the coverage: The universality of physical principles in the analysis of health and disease The problem of recidivism in healthcare intervention studies Stability and reversibility/irreversibility of health conditions Chaos theory and sensitive dependence on initial conditions Applications in health monitoring and geographic systems Simulations, applications, and the challenge for public health A stimulating new take on statistics with powerful implications for future study, practice, and policy, Trajectory Analysis in Health Care should interest public health epidemiologists, researchers, clinicians, and policymakers.…

Zustand: Very good. - An original 11-7/8 inch high by 7-5/8 inch wide etching, illustrated with a 10-1/8 inch high by 7-1/2 inch wide image etched by W. Carter. Latin text from Aenid L.12 added within the plate marks at the bottom is etched by Hollar on either side of a coat of arms. As per Pennington 331A, (State 1): Aeneas stands left with the arrow piercing his thigh while Venus descends with a sprig of dittany for the physician who is bent over his table on the right. "F. Cleyn inv." and "W. Carter fecit" are etched within the image at the lower left corner. Text on the verso, printed in letterpress, is from Ogilby's original 1654 English edition. Closely cropped near the plate marks, the etching is mounted with glue from the verso onto a larger sheet of paper. The print is in otherwise near fine condition although the edges of the mount are foxed, soiled and creased with a short tear to the bottom edge of the mount. The engraving is by Carter, but the Latin quotation, the coat of arms and the dedication are by Hollar, except for the "w" in the name, which is an alteration.One of a series of original etchings by Wenceslaus Hollar which were created to illustrate scenes from Virgil. They first appeared in 1654 in John Ogilby's "The Works of Publivs Virgilivs Maro Translated, adorn'd with Sculpture, and illustrated with Annotations". The work was published in London and printed for the author by Thomas Warren. Hollar's etchings were after drawings by Francis Cleyn.Noted for his engravings and etchings, the prolific Bohemian artist Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-1677) spent much of his life in England.[Ref.: Richard Pennington: "A Descriptive Catalogue of the Works of Wenceslaus Hollar 1607-1677", published by Cambridge University Press, 1982].…

Rubens by Hollar Engraved portrait, trimmed to neatline. Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens had executed a self-portrait when he was 50, which was subsequently re-engraved and published by numerous printmakers. Wenceslaus Hollar produced a version in the mid-seventeenth century, probably based on David Huatt's from c1730. It shows the bust of Rubens wearing a wide-brimmed hat and slashed doublet with a floaty collar. The image is set within an ornate oval frame decorated paintbrushes and palettes. Beneath the portrait are lines that also appeared on Huatt's print: "Excellentissimus Dns D. Petrus Paulus Rubenius pictorum Apelles, decus huius saeculi, orbis miraculum, Aulam Hispanicam, Gallicam, Anglicam, Belgicam penicillo suo illustravit. Quem gladio donavit Philippus Quartus Hispaniarum, et statuit sibi a Secretis in sanctiore suo consilio Bruxellensi, ac iam ad Regem Anglicae Legatum extraordinarium misit." 'The most excellent Sir Peter Paul Rubens, the Apelles of painters, the glory of this age; with his brush he illustrated the marvel of the world, the court of Spain, of France, of England, of Belgium. Philip the Fourth of Spain knighted him, and placed him as the private secretary of his honoured council at Brussels, and then sent him an special ambassador to the King of England.'

The young Charles II Etched portrait, trimmed to plate mark. In the 1630s Sir Anthony van Dyck executed a series of painted portraits, which were made into engraved prints for his 'Icones Principium Vivorum', a work which remained incomplete at his death in 1641, but which was subsequently finished and published in 1645. Johannes Meyssens used it as the basis for his 'Image de divers hommes', to which Wenceslaus Hollar contributed a large fraction of the 74 new portraits included in the first edition of 1649. These included a portrait of the young Charles II after van Dyck, who had been appointed court painter by his subject's father in 1632. With Charles I beheaded in the January of 1649, this print was published with Charles II as king de jure, as shown by the caption declaring him 'Magna Brittania Fra et Hibernia Rex'. He is shown in three-quarter length wearing a coat, lace collar and sash over his left shoulder. In his left hand he holds his hat and in the right a staff. The Banqueting Hall is visible through the window behind him, seen across St James' Park. NHG Hollar 1064 II; Pennington 1442ii; RCIN 602331.…

The trial of the Earl of Strafford Etched print. The case agains Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford, is the focus of several prints by Wenceslaus Hollar. The present examples depicts Strafford's trial in the House of Lords, which came about after his long-term opponent John Pym brought the case for impeachment to the House on November 11, 1640. Although Strafford went in person to confront his accusers, he was immediately withdrawn and taken into custody; he was held in the Tower of London for the subsequent months. Eventually the impeachment charge failed and so Parliament passed a bill of attainder allowing Strafford to be charged and executed on May 12, 1641. Hollar's print shows the packed House of Lords during Stafford's trial, with a 25-point alphabetical key identifying various figures and features shown, such as the king's "Seate of State", "P. the Earls, Q. the Viscounts, R. the Barons, S. the Knights", and naturally "V. the Earle of Strafford", standing in a raised box and facing away towards the top of the House. Interestingly, the clerks seems to be making their notes on the floor. The present example is the second state, which was included in the 'Theatrum Europaeum' of J.P. Abelin published in Frankfurt in 1643. Abelin added a German title above the print, in which the defendant is named Earl "Stafford" rather than Strafford.

Views after the Life Title and 15 etched prints, small unidentified blue triangular collector's stamp on verso of each. Pierce Tempest is said to have been a pupil and assistant of Wenceslaus Hollar's, and certainly published and sold some of his later work from his shop on the Strand during the late-seventeenth century. Among these was a series of sixteen landscape prints of various locations in and around England, entitled 'Divers Views after the Life'. The phrasing of the title and the perspective of the etchings indicate that Hollar personally drew the scenes whilst a passenger on a vessel travelling between England and the Low Countries via the Channel Islands. The title page to the collection shows a cartouche comprised of fish and fruit surmounted by a monster's head, while in background there is view of ships at sea. Indeed the sea features in many of the prints, which include two views of Dover and another of Calais ("Cales"), in which vessels are shown on the water. In another view the ruins of the Roman Saxon Shore fort at Pevensey ("Pempsey") on the Sussex coast is depicted, with the empty ocean receding into the background. Pennington 921-936.…

Hollar's post-fire survey of London Engraved map, with inset map and key, trimmed to neatline. The Great Fire of London broke out in a bakery on Pudding Lane, on Sunday 2nd September 1666 and raged for three days destroying most of the City of London. By the end, the fire had consumed some 13,000 buildings from Temple in the west to The Tower in the east, and Cripple Gate in the north, with thousands of people being left homeless. Just five days after the flames had been tamed, the King commission Wenceslaus Hollar and Francis Sandford "to take an exact plan and survey of our city of London with the suburbs adjoining as the same now stands after the sad calamity of the late fire with a particular depiction of the ruins thereof". Hollar was an obvious choice as he had been preparing, since 1660, a large bird's-eye view of the city, some "10 foot in breadth, and 5 foot upward". Although his grand view was backed by the King, the project struggled for funding, and the Great Fire would make many of his endeavours redundant. Nonetheless, the two men worked quickly to survey the wreckage and by mid-November Hollar had engraved the first map showing the extent of the damage: 'A Map of the Groundplott of the Citty of London with the Suburbes thereof.'. Soon after, or more probably concurrently, he would engrave this map, for the map and printseller John Overton. The map is on the same scale as the former work, and bears an almost identical title. However, Hollar has slightly increased its extent to include Lincoln Inn's in the west, and more buildings east of The Tower of London. The area devastated by the fire is shown devoid of house, only the street layout and the ground plans of the churches and principal public buildings are marked. The key, which as been moved to the lower right-hand corner, lists 101 churches, 82 of which had been consumed by the fire, together with a list of 24 public buildings and gates (A-Z), and 14 whares, staires, and docks (a-o). Hollar has also included, for the first time on any post fire map, an inset of the whole of London, 'A General Map of the whole Citty of London with Westminster and all the suburbs.', which puts into context just how devastating the fire was for central London. This map together with John Leake's survey of the city of 1667, which Hollar would also engrave, would form the basis for the reconstruction of the city. Hollar work was extensively used by the likes of John Evevlyn and Robert Hooke, for the reconstruction of the city, and copied by many European mapsellers. The plan is even mentioned in glowing terms by Samuel Pepys in his diary, 22 November 1666: "My Lord Boruncker did show me Hollar's new print of the City, with a pretty representation of that part which is burnt, very fine indeed; and tells me that he was yesterday sworn the King's servant, and that the King hath commanded him to go on with his great map of the City, which he was upon before the City burned, like Gombout of Paris, which I am Glad of." And by John Evelyn: "I have since lighted upon Mr. Hollar's late Plan, which looking upon as the most accurate hitherto, has caus'd me something to alter what I had so crudely don [sic]". The present example is the second state, which was printed and sold by John Overton. NHG Hollar 1916 II; Pennington 1004ii; BM 1856,0607.6.…

Views of Tangiers Three etched views, trimmed to neatline. The expanding Portuguese colonial forces had their sights set on the coastal Moroccan city of Tangier throughout the fifteenth century until they finally succeeded in taking it in 1471. It remained in European hands throughout the following centuries, being passed to Spain in the seveteenth century as part of the union of the crowns between the two countries, and then in 1661 it was given to King Charles II as part of the dowry given to him with the Portuguese infanta Catherine of Braganza. The King immediately sent embassies to assess his new land and by January 1662 English Tangier was fully occupied, with Charles declaring it "a jewell of immense value in the royal diadem" even though the departing Portuguese had done their very best to strip the city of everything valuable. A garrison was established in Tangier, which also received a charter making it equal to other English towns. Nonetheless the regiment stationed there was constantly under attack by local mujahideen offended by the Christian presence in their country. An uneasy truce was struck between 1663 and 1664, but was called of when 470 English soldiers were killed in an ambush. A longer-lasting peace treaty was made in 1666, and the English took advantage of the respite to greatly improve the defences first established by the Portuguese. They also planned to build a mole in the harbour much like that in Gibraltar, however incompetence, waste and outright fraud caused costs to swell. Although it eventually extended almost half a kilometre through the waters, the mole was destroyed and the £340,000 spent on its construction was wasted. On one of the missions sent to assess and plan for the development of English Tangier was Wenceslaus Hollar, who travelled to Morocco in 1668. During and after his visit he produced 15 views of the city from different perspectives. Among these, many focus on Tangier Castle, the name given to the Portuguese fortifications, atop which the English flag is flown from 'Peterborough Tower', another familiar name the colonists had given to the buildings they inherited in Tangier.

Hollar's Canterbury Three etched prints on one sheet. During the English Civil War, the city of Canterbury was governed by a puritan mayor, against whom riots broke out when he attempted to ban Christmas Day church services. This unrest later spread to a revolt throughout the entire county of Kent, which contributed to the start of the war's second phase. Ultimately, however, Canterbury surrendered to the Parliamentary forces following the Battle of Maidstone in 1648. Hollar's etchings of the city were made after this conflict, probably during the early years of the Restoration. The print is divided into three images. Along the top, 'The North Prospect of Canterbury' shows a panoramic view of the rolling countryside surrounding the city, whose cathedral tower stands out prominently. To the right there is a cartouche containing the print's dedication to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Below on the left is 'The Groundplott of Canterbury', an aerial plan of the central city with a key in the corner identifying notable sites, refered to using both an alphabetical and numerical system: A-Z and 1-50. Finally on the lower right is 'A Prospect fo the Southside of Christ Church the Cathedrall of Canterbury', showing the south facade of the impressive church, with a few separate buildings just visible to the left. The views were originally drawn by Thomas Johnson, who was active in Canterbury during the Commonwealth and worked with Hollar directly. The dedication in the cartouche on the panorama is dedicated by John Ogilby, for whom Hollar produced many prints during the 1650s, 1660s and 1670s.The present example is the second state, reissued by Henry Overton during the eighteenth century, and included in 'Nouveau Theatre de la Grande Bretagne' of 1724. The only difference is the addition of Overton's imprint to the lower right-hand border. It NHG Hollar 2520 II; Pennington 961ii. …

Italian Views Six etchings. Between 1665 and 1669, Wenceslaus Hollar published a series of views of contemporary northern Italian towns and cities. He had previously produced illustrations of famous ancient monuments in the country, which he is never recorded to have visited. His patron, the Earl of Arundel, however, had toured Italy extensively, collecting both curiosities and contacts, and it is possible that Hollar's etchings were thus inspired by Arundel's collection or anecdotes. Hollar may of course have visited the places shown himself, but there is no documentation of such a journey. The series includes a view of Besagno, with four large villas on the banks of the river, two of St Julian d'Arba, again with large country houses and waterways, and three of Genoa, one showing its fortified walls and great domed cathedral, and the other two presenting a more pastoral, idyllic picture. Some of the etchings contain figures, but on the whole the emphasis is clearly on the natural landscape and buildings. The series was first published by Arthur Tooker in London, although the second state, as here, has his address removed. NHG Hollar 833-838 II; Pennington 1095-1100 ii. 71 by 115mm.
