Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Like with most (or all) of the others for sale, no date is given. Other sellers are indicating that they believe the book was published in 1925. My book states 'Seventh Thousand' on the title page, which makes it an earlier printing than any of the others I looked at. This book still has its dust jacket which sets it apart from all of the other copies for sale on the Internet. And happily the jacket is in very nice condition. You can see the covers of the book itself in the last few photos. They are in quite decent condition. There are couple of small spots on the front. There is also some light toning off a few of the cover edges. The black lettering on both the front and on the spine is nicely bright. The spine looks very good. The cover edges look very good. So do the top two corners. The bottom two corners have small spots of rub-through. The page edges look very good, very clean. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover. The pages are nicely tight, perhaps even a little too tight creating a little bit of crinkling/rippling at the margins of the pages just adjacent to their junctures. The covers are nicely, tightly bound. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I haven't found any instances of conspicuous soiling. The glossy pages of the illustrations (black-and-white and color) are very clean as well. There is no foxing anywhere in the book. I'm not seeing any placeholder creases. There are no turned-down corners. There are no markings in the book. There are no attachments of any kind. There is an inscription on the blank front end paper. It says 'To Lucy Virginia, Sept 9, 1945, the signature is a scribble (so just pick any famous painter). There is no other writing to be found anywhere in the book. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It's quite clean. There is a slight bit of toning off a couple of edges. The thin spine is toned/tanned. There is not a great deal of wear. There are two smallish tears off the top edge of the front cover. There's the tiniest bit of loss at the spine ends and off the bottom edge of the middle edge between the front cover front flap, and off the top edge of the middle edge between the rear cover and rear flap. All in all, the jacket presents very well, as you can see in the photos. The flaps are quite decent shape, very clean, a little toning. The top edge of the rear flap has some thin crinkling/wrinkling. The price is on the front cover and not on the front flap. The jacket is NOT clipped. Both flaps advertise Winsor & Newton's Art Manuals. The jacket is protected by a fitted cover. Terrick Williams was a British painter who was a member of the Royal Academy.

8vo. 112, (4) pp. with colour-printed or blindstamped decorative borders. Contemporary full calf. Glanz probably assembled the present album on the occasion of a visit to the German artists' association "Ponte Molle Society" on 18 March 1843. The Society, a humorous artists' club based at the Palazzo Serlupi near the Pantheon, was a popular venue for German artists and Rome travellers, offering art exhibitions, events, and a well-stocked library. In 1845 it metamorphosed into the more serious-minded "Deutscher Künstlerverein". The most prominent contributor to this album is the Viennese painter and engraver Carl Rahl (1812-65), who had been living in Rome since 1836 and was closely involved with the Ponte Molle Society, serving as its "People's Tribune" in 1840/41. After his return to Vienna in 1850, Rahl became professor at the academy. A precursor to Makart, he championed a drastic and colourful eclecticism which exerted an enormous influence on the painters of Vienna's Ringstrasse era (cf. Thieme/Becker XXVII, 570). Glanz, the owner of the album, is identified in the full-page entry of Johann Christian Reinhart (p. 97; Rome, 25 March 1843): "At the same time, dear Mr. Glanz, I wish you a happy and enjoyable journey" (transl.). - The contributors are, in the order of their entries: 1) Alexius Fedor Geyer (Berlin); 2) Adam Bamelmayr; 3) Friedrich Strache (Vienna); 4) Robert Salemann (Reval); 5) Heinrich Wilhelm (Heidelberg); 6) Eduard Schwab (Mähren); 7) Ivanoff (St Petersburg); 8) Peter Petersen (Copenhagen); 9) Alexandre Reuben (Paris); 10) Christian Friderik Holbeck (Copenhagen); 11) Carl Mayer (Vienna); 12) Hermann Schievelbein (Berlin); 13) Peter Raadfig (Copenhagen); 14) Carl Adolf Senff (Halle); 15) Gustav W.
