Unbound sheet. Condizione: Fair. No stated edition. Hand-colored lithograph on a sort of construction paper. Ca.10 x 8 inches. A few scrapes, notably to the couple's cloaks, which have the effect of adding to the snow fall. Back is toned and dampstained, but the stain doesn't show through. Lower right corner chipped, affecting "Storm" (not shown in photo). Several penciled names on the back, some dated 1887 or 1888. Cut down on the right, with slight loss to title. No room on the coach for the unlucky couple who have been waiting in deep snow. The coach is strangely foreshortened, almost as if the artist drew the pillar first and then had to squeeze the vehicle alongside it.…

Unbound diecuts. Condizione: Very good. No stated edition. Set of 8 embossed chromolithographed Victorian scrap paper figures, consisting of 4 children riders and their 4 steeds--"the noble horse, the faithful dog, the docile donkey, and the frisky goat." The children include 2 handsomely dressed girls, a boy dressed as a jockey, and a boy in hunting kit. The steeds are ca. 7 x 4 inches; the riders are ca. 5 x 2 inches. Repairs to some of the animals' legs; one replacement leg. In original envelope (rubbed, flap missing), which is inscribed in pencil "To Ruby, A Merry Christmas with Love from Cora C. Hatch." The riders are tabbed on the back so they can sit in the saddle, and the animals' legs are tabbed so they can stand upright (if a little shakily). No. 576 in an unknown series. Wolf Hagelberg was a Berlin lithographer, known for his fashionable greeting cards and "hold to light" postcards. A delightful and scarce example of Victorian Christmas gift giving. Hagelberg (illustratore).…

Full Morocco. Condizione: Near Fine. First Edition. Suite of nine hand-colored aquatint plates, depicting the louche, hedonistic, and self-destructive life of a young aristocrat. Bound by Riviere & Son in full red morocco, with ruled border, raised bands, other gilt decoration, including turn-ins, marbled endpapers. N.d., circa 1820s. 4to. 31 by 25 cm. No title page -- this was issued as a suite of plates, not in a book form. A blank sheet in front, two, in back, and tissue guards between plates. Each plate is depicting a scene, and basically a step in the descent to self-destruction by the young buck aristocrat. Scenes are The Inheritance, The First Party, The Night House (in other words, the bordello), The Betting Booth (at the racetrack), The Gambling House, The Usurer, The Mess Room (clearly the dining room of an elite military unit), The Duel, and finally, The Sick Room. We would note that the Usurer has the casual anti-Semitic trope so prevalent throughout history of the hook-nosed lender. The artwork has a pleasant slightly naive quality, with the loosest of adherence to perspective. The settings are generally quite resplendent, capturing Regency England grandeur perfectly. Scarce. Yale has several copies. Only two other complete sets held by institutions, according to OCLC First Search, one at Harvard, and one, somewhat later and published by Tegg, at the Art Institute in Chicago. The Henderson version, clearly the first, was issued without color, we would add. The Harvard Hollis catalogue gives no indication whether the copy at Houghton has hand-coloring -- something that Hollis generally will denote if it does. No copies found in commerce on date of this description was prepared. Light wear to binding. Light soiling in the margins of the plates. Pictorial elements consistently bright and attractive. …
