Condizione: Near Fine. First edition. 234 pp. + plates. Illus. with 77 monochrome carbon print photographic plates. 8vo. Two versions of this catalogue were produced, one without plates, and this, the illustrated version, with carbon prints by James Craig Annan (1864-1946), son of the Scottish photographer Thomas Annan. Annan was only 18 when he produced this series of prints (uncredited) for the spectacular Duke of Hamilton sale. There were 2213 lots auctioned over fifteen days in five sections which brought in 397,000 British pounds! In addition to the paintings offered, which could have easily formed their own museum -works by Botticelli, Breugel, Da Vinci, Durer, Fra Angelico, Giorgione, Holbein, Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian, Van Dyke, Veronese, and more- there was French furniture, Asian bronzes and lacquers, Sevres and Desden porcelain, and decorative objects in profusion. Photographs were somewhat new to illustrating auctions and "this is an early use of photography for a sale catalogue," according to William Buchanan in his "J. Craig Annan. Selected Texts and Bibliography," (Oxford. 1994), p. 137. Annan would go on to become an important British pictorial photographer and one of its master photogravure printers, contributing both his own work and gravures for other British photographers to Stiglitz' Camera Work (the January 1914 issue -no. 45- was devoted entirely to him). Scarce, especially in such beautiful condition and in such a fine binding. Buchanan 1. A near fine copy, rubbing on verso of plates, plates numbered in pencil. Half red morocco over cloth boards, four raised bands.…

Passionné d'art, l'industriel sucrier Henry Frugès (1879-1974) tenait de sa grand-mère maternelle née Bentajou que sa famille descendait d'une certaine Zohra, fille de l'émir El Hadj Abd En Nor El Maimouny, général de Boadbil, le dernier roi de Grenade ; il restera profondément attiré par l'art musulman, comme le montre son amusant ex-libris avec sa devise "Je m'éclaire !".

Rinfreschi alla legatura. Fioriture normali. In buono stato complessivo. Edizione originale. Catalogo della vendita all'asta delle collezioni d'arte e di arti decorative del Duca di Hamilton; comprende 2213 schede (esistono due differenti cataloghi di tale vendita all'asto; l'altra tiratura, più corrente, è priva di illustrazioni). L'asta si svolse in 17 giorni, fruttando l'esorbitante cifra complessiva di 397.000 sterline, e molti dei quadri (vi figuravano fra l'altro tele di Botticelli, Breugel, Leonardo, Dürer, Beato Angelico, Giorgione, Holbein, Rembrandt, Rubens, Tiziano, Van Dyke, Veronese, ecc.) furono acquistati dalla National Gallery. Da notare che Annan (a sua volta figlio di un illustre fotografo scozzese, Thomas Annan), che sarebbe diventato un grande fotografo pittorialista e avrebbe collaborato anche a Camera Work di Stiglitz, aveva solo 18 anni quando realizzò le superbe fotografie che corredano il catalogo, esempio pionieristico di una pubblicazione di tal genere illustrata con tecnica fotografica nonché prima opera pubblicata di Annan. This is an early use of photography for a sale catalogue (William Buchanan, J. Craig Annan. Selected Texts and Bibliography, Oxford. 1994, p. 137). Inglese. …

4to, pp.48, [12, advertisements], with 8 photogravures; text mostly unopened (all plates opened); some offsetting to adjacent blanks, hinges cracked in two instances, a faint dampstain to foot of inner hinge corner throughout, but generally a very good copy; in the original grey printed paper wrappers; edges creased and chipped, foot of spine chipped.The 1909 issue of Alfred Stieglitz's seminal quarterly journal of photography, Camera Work, intended to establish photography as a fine art and called 'by far the most beautiful of all photographic magazines' (Whelan). Camera Work was published between 1903 and 1917 during which time fifty issues were made. Through Camera Work, Steiglitz brought together photographers from America and Europe, an endeavour he viewed as 'the logical outcome of the evolution of the photographic art' (Stieglitz, 'AnApology', Camera Work (1903)). The nine photogravures on Japan tissue were made by the Scottish photographer James Craig Annan (18641946) from works by Hill & Adamson: Principal Haldane; The Marquis of Northampton; Handyside Ritchie and Wm.Henning; Sir Francis Grant, P.R.A.; Mrs.Anna Brownell Jameson; Lady in Black; Lady in Flowered Dress; Girl in Straw Hat; and Mr.Rintoul, Editor "Spectator". Photogravures after David Octavius Hill had been published in Camera Work numbers XI and XXVIII, also made by Annan from the original paper negatives. The photogravures are accompanied by short pieces on, inter alia, modernity and decadence (Benjamin de Casseres), on photography (George Bernard Shaw), and a note on an exhibition of Arthur B.Carles' work by Paul Haviland. Annan had caught Stieglitz's attention in 1896 in The Amateur Photographer, where he gave advice on using the new hand camera, which did not make use of a tripod. Stieglitz later drew upon Annan's writing in The American Annual of Photography the following year, in which he agreed that the photographer must set up the composition, then wait for the right moment to capture. In this number of Camera Work, Annan is also praised: 'It is also rare good fortune that Mr.Annan, while himself one of the pioneers of pictorial photography and second to none in his admiration of Hill's work, is also a master of the photogravure process'.See Buchanan, The Art of the Photographer, J.Craig Annan 18641946 (1992); Whelan, Alfred Stieglitz: A Biography (1995).

Condizione: Good. Folio. First edition, one of 470 numbered copies on papier blanc du Marais from the total edition of 500, folio (40.2 x 28.2cm), original wrappers, [10] pp., 66 heliogravures on 56 sheets, printed in various colour tints, with captioned tissue-guards tipped in.Founded in 1894 by Robert Demachy and Constant Puyo, the Photo-club de Paris was the French equivalent of the Camera Club of New York and the Linked Ring in London, associations of photographers dedicated to the emergent philosophy of pictorialism, which promoted photography as a fine art rather than purely as a means of documenting reality. This overview of their first exhibition includes photographs by leading figures including Alfred Stieglitz, James Craig Annan and Rudolf Eickemeyer Jr, and numerous others. Printers incluce L'Imprimerie Chaix, Georges Petit Gallery (supplied, of Paris), T. Fillon/LeMercier & Cie (Paris), Richard Paulussen (Vienna), James Craig Annan (Glasgow), Paul Dujardin (Paris), J. Blechinger (Austria).t69 of the photographers accepted for this first exposition were from France but the material included was highly international. There were 30 photographers from Great Britain including Scotland and the Isle of Wight; Austria had 17 followed by Belgium and Holland with ten. Nine were from America: including Emilie Clarkson, John Bullock, John Dumont, Rudolph Eickemeyer, Emma Farnsworth, Clarence Moore, William Post, Robert Redfield and Alfred Stieglitz. Works from Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia and Switzerland were hung. Algeria was represented by at least one photograph by the Frenchman Emile Frechon. The work of the deceased, but influential, British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) was acknowledged by the exposition committee members and she had an unknown number of works accepted for hanging.OCLC number 889431269; Met Watsonline record number b12671320. .…

Five 'portions' in one volume, 4to, pp. 234, with title to each 'portion' and 77 carbon print photographs, each captioned in pencil with lot numbers; lots 878, 984, 998, and 1456 have two different photographs; a very good, fresh copy in the original publisher's scarlet cloth; a few spots, hinges cracked; offered with an unillustrated copy in like condition. First edition of the sale catalogue for the Hamilton Palace Collection, notable for its early and lavish use of photographic illustrations; here including seventy-seven carbon prints, the catalogue was also available without illustrations (at 5s the illustrated set cost 21s), a copy of which is also offered here. James Craig Annan (18641946) and his father Thomas had been commissioned to photograph the palace and grounds by the Duke of Hamilton in around 1869. In the present catalogue of the house contents the younger Annan's skills were challenged by the location of certain pieces; in some instances he deletes the overly fussy background, while in others items are shown in situ. Mirrors prove typically problematic Annan's solution here may not be the most subtle. The sale, comprising 2,213 lots dispersed in five parts between Saturday, 17 June and Thursday, 20 July 1882, achieved a total of £397,000, and included Old Master paintings from every school, as well as important furniture, sculpture, porcelain, lacquer, and objets d'art, many with extraordinary provenance.
