Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: CHARLES ALEXANDRE, DUC de LORRAINE)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 4 p.l., xviii, 452 pp. 8vo, cont. half-sheep & speckled boards, spine gilt, red morocco lettering piece on spine. Brussels: J. Ermens, 1781. The extremely rare auction catalogue of the books, prints, and drawings in the collection of Charles Alexandre, Duke of Lorraine (1712-80), and governor of The Netherlands. This was one of the three greatest libraries and art collections sold in Belgium during the late 18th century. The sale contains the largest surviving group of copper plates of Rubens’ works. Charles Alexandre married the sister of Maria Theresa in 1744 and, following a very successful military career, retired in 1757 to devote himself to the governorship of Holland. In this position he also enjoyed great success, encouraging the commerce and agriculture of the country as well its cultural activities. A man of considerable education, he established an academy and a public library at Brussels as well as a free school to teach painting and sculpture. Charles Alexandre was an ardent book and art collector; he also formed a notable natural history cabinet. This catalogue lists 3354 lots of books, 232 lots of prints and drawings, 171 lots of “planches gravées,” and 23 lots of “paquets d’hazard.” A fine copy. ❧ Blogie col. 27. N.B.G., Vol. 31, cols. 686-87. Peignot, p. 89.

Title: Catalogue d’un Cabinet de diverses Curiosités… (27 November 1752 and following days)
Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: [COTTIN, Daniel])
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: Typographic headpiece to recto of leaf Ai. 88, 7, & [4] pp. of ms. notes. 8vo, early 19th-cent. green morocco-backed marbled boards (head of spine chipped). Paris: Helle & Glomy, 1752. An uncommon and early sale catalogue, fully priced in a contemporary hand and supplemented with fascinating manuscript notes about the sale and the bidders. Although the collector is not named in print, someone has written down “Mr. Cottin” on the title-page. The Getty Provenance Index entry for this sale identifies the consigner as the banker Daniel Cottin (1677-1756). On the blank leaves at the end, a later keen observer of the art market has penned an insightful account of Cottin’s auction and lists the collectors and dealers active at the sale. An interesting copy, in near fine condition. ❧ Lugt 798.

Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: BERVIC, Charles Clément, born as BALVAY, Jean Guillaume)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 1 p.l., xiii, [1], 40 pp. 8vo (200 x 128 mm.), cont. blue paper wrappers, stitched as issued & strengthened with clear tape. Paris: Delaplace-Gérardin & Regnault-Delalande, 1822. The very scarce sale catalogue detailing the sizable and choice collection of a celebrated engraver. Bervic (1756-1822), best known for his skillful works after Callet, J. B. Regnault, Guido Reni, and Raphael, studied under Le Prince, as well as Wille, who considered him one of his most promising students. A clerical error is the reason for being given the name Balvay, instead of, correctly, Bervic. “Bervic was greatly respected and honoured in his own lifetime. Louis XVI accommodated him at the Louvre, he was a member of almost all of the Academies in Europe, and in 1819 was the first engraver to receive the Croix de la Légion d’Honneur…He is probably the greatest and most famous burin reproduction engraver of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.”–Oxford Art Online. This catalogue begins with a lengthy and erudite biographical sketch of Bervic composed by the sale’s expert, Regnault-Delalande (1762-1824), who administered more than 300 auctions and was a scholar of the history of engraving. This catalogue describes 211 lots. Bervic’s collection was comprehensive and included prints by Audran, Bartolozzi, Bervic, Boissieu, Callot, Caron, Choffard, Coiny, Desnoyers, Edelinck, Porporati, Potrelle, A. de Saint-Aubin, W. Sharp, Tardieu, C. Visscher, Wille, Woollett, etc. There are also print suites and books by Algarotti, Basan, Piranesi, Durand, Bartolo, Peyre, Salvage, Winckelmann, etc. Lots 204 and 205 are engraved plates executed by Bervic after Guido Reni’s The Rape of Deianira, Regnault’s The Education of Achilles, and Callet’s portrait of Louis XVI. A fine copy in original state. With the printed price-list laid-in. From the Bibliothèque Heim. This copy is addressed on the upper wrapper to “Mr L’Abbé Baronnat / rue de Vaugirard no. 38.” ❧ Lugt 10296. Oxford Art Online.

Title: Catalogue des Livres rares et précieux composant la Bibliothèque de M. E.F.D. Ruggieri
Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: RUGGIERI, Eugène-Désiré-François (or Désiré-Eugène-François).)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 2 p.l., 280 pp. 8vo, cont. green sheep-backed marbled boards, spine lettered in gilt. Paris: A. Labitte, 1873. The first and most important private collection ever formed exclusively devoted to festivities; this sale catalogue has remained an indispensable work of reference to the present day. The 1200 lots are arranged under the sixteen different countries in which these festivities took place, except for two amazing special sections: the first catalogues thirty-eight books published between 1515 and 1559, describing festivities and solemnities in honor of Emperor Charles V. The second describes almost 400 pieces concerning festivities held during the French Revolution, offered in one lot, but catalogued separately on pp. 259-277. Ruggieri (d. 1885) was the last of a long line of Royal and Government “artificers,” i.e. pyrotechnists, which had been founded in 1730, when five Ruggieri brothers transferred themselves from Bologna to Paris. Fine and attractive copy. Original printed upper wrapper bound-in. ❧ Blogie col. 126.

Description: viii, 104, 7 pp. 8vo (213 x 138 mm.), modern cloth-backed marbled boards, red sheep lettering-piece on spine. Paris: Coutellier & Regnault-Delalande, 1820.

Lots 1-288 & 367-78 consist of prints and large groups of prints by contemporary and Old Master artists. Regnault-Delalande has prepared particularly informative descriptions that note the state, provenance, and rarity. This is followed with paintings by Claude, Pallière, Rembrandt, Vincent, Greuze, Le Brun, Nanteuil, and drawings by Guercino, Bouchardon, Glauber, Lairesse, Moitte, Nicolle, Suvée, Vincent, etc. Lot 367 is an exhaustively detailed set of tarot cards by a “Maître Italien.” A fine copy. With the amusing engraved bookplate of [H]enry [Pannier] (1853-1935), the Parisian art dealer and collector of early art sale catalogues, on inside of upper cover, and the stamp of the Bibliothèque Heim on verso of title-page. ❧ Lugt 9751.
