Description
Europe (France, England & Germany), 19th c. A large portfolio containing 27 wonderful antique large-scale lithographed plates of classical vase paintings, 18 in color to capture the red-figure technique (4 of these are fold-out double plates), 9 black and white plates (3 of these are fold-out double plates), as well as sections from 19th century manuscripts including: (1) "Musee Blacas: Monumens Grecs, Etrusques et Romains Vases Peints" (1829) by Sigisumund Theodor Panofka (1800-1858). Publisher: Debure, 1829. 96 pages. Pierre Louis Casimir de Blacas d'Aulps (1771-1839) was a politician, diplomat and academician. (2) Title page and descriptive text from "Sketches in Egypt" by H. Pilleau, Great Britain, 1845. (3) 27 stunning plates depicting classical vase paintings from a German publication, possibly "Coupes Et Vases Du Musee Royal De Berlin Et D'Autres Collections Seconde Partie Vases" since that title page to that publication is also in the portfolio. A very special portfolio featuring some rare treasures! Size (largest sheets): 20.5" L x 15" W (52.1 cm x 38.1 cm)

#179088
Condition
Expected age wear to plates and pages with toning, stains, tears/losses (most to peripheries of pages). "Sketches in Egypt" has text but plates are missing. "Musee Blacas: Monumens Grecs, Etrusques et Romains Vases Peints" (1829) has 96 pages. Binding is damaged, and some sheets have separated from the binding. Definitely time-worn but there are some fabulous treasures here as well!
