Holman Hunt.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). William Holman Hunt (1827Ð1910) chronicled the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in this well-illustrated two-volume memoir of 1905, controversially presenting himself as the movement's founding father. Popular when first published, it illuminates the search for authenticity of treatment and depth of meaning in his own work and that of Millais, Rossetti and their circle. Stressing the contributions of himself and Millais, Hunt sets out to defend the Brotherhood's ideals, from which he never departed. After his success with The Light of… Read More

1880 William Hogarth ART English Political Satire Hudibras Rakes Progress Hannay

William Hogarth was one of the most famous English artists of the 18th-century and his satirical cartoons appeared in comic-strips and other printed works for decades. His most famous works were short series of sketches that told moral stories through the lens of political satire – 'A Harlot's Progress,' 'A Rake's Progress,' and 'Hudibras.'
All three of these famous works, along with the rest of Hogarth's portfolio, are included in this late 19th-century London Printing edition, along with an introductory essay by James Hannay.

DELACROIX, Eugène (1798-1863)
Autograph letter signed " E Delacroix " to an unknown recipient
[Paris, 6 rue de Fürstenberg], 15 July 1863
1 page in-8 on double sheet.
Fold marks, some light stains.
Moving letter from Delacroix, one of his very last ones, less than a month before his passing


"Monsieur, Je garde la chambre et suis dans l'impossibilité de sortir. Je désirerais que vous ayez la bonté de faire suivant l'usage un certificat de vie, qui dans ces occasions demandent je crois votre intervention particulière. C'est une rente sur la national. Ayez monsieur les assurances de ma considération la plus distinguée. E Delacroix"


Delacroix's health had considerably deteriorated at the beginning of July 1863, evidenced here by an unprecise writing. The following week, he would confess to his long term friend George Sand "Writing is for me unbearable" . He would pass away on August 13th 1863.
This letter is not published in the general correspondence by Joubin.

According to the preface, it was the author of Flim-Flams! [Isaac D'Israeli], who encouraged Dagley to experiment with comedy. Later, "an ingenious friend" suggested he used the word "Taking" to stimulate further practice. The result is seen here in these commissioned illustrations for Thomas Gaspey's doggerel adventure.A young student, Tom Takeall, ignores his father's advice and sets off on a disastrous series of adventures. He is depicted riding dangerously, spending lavishly on clothes, losing bets on the horses, getting robbed in the theatre, boxing with a prizefighter, eloping with a young woman and then pistol-dueling with her… Read More

English text; Hardcover (cloth without dust jacket - as issued); 26 cm x 33 cm; 1.6 Kg; 172 pages with 134 colour plates.; The Mingzhitang Collection of Sir Joseph Hotung is one of the finest collections in the world to capture the essence of early Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. With twenty outstanding examples, it concentrates on the first hundred years of China's blue-and-white production, in the late Yuan (1271-1368) and early Ming (1368-1644) dynasties - a period that was never surpassed in artistic ingenuity and material quality. The charisma and the energy of the masterly paintings on porcelain created in the Yuan dynasty at the kilns of Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, which made this genre so influential and universally admired, are represented with twelve exceptional examples, most of them unique. They demonstrate the powerful blue-and-white style developed under Mongol rule, when the artisans appear to have been working with… Read More
