Zeus (Jupiter) Engraving from Bertuch – Classical Mythology Print, 1805
Located in Langweer, NL
Zeus (Jupiter) Engraving from Bertuch’s 1805 Porte-Feuille des Enfants – Classical Mythology Print
This finely detailed engraving, published in 1805 as part of Friedrich Justin Bertuch’s Porte-Feuille des Enfants (Children's Portfolio), depicts Zeus, the king of the Greek gods (known as Jupiter in Roman mythology), in a pose that exudes authority and power. Seated on a grand throne with an eagle at his side, Zeus holds a scepter, signifying his dominion over the skies and his role as ruler of the gods.
The print is executed with exceptional precision, capturing the intricate details of Zeus’s muscular form, the folds of his drapery, and the noble posture of the eagle, a symbol of strength and divine power. Subtle hand-tinting adds depth and character to the artwork, enhancing its timeless appeal.
This piece is part of a renowned collection of early 19th-century engravings designed to introduce young readers to the rich world of mythology, art, and antiquity. Its historical and artistic significance makes it a standout addition to any collection of classical prints.
The engraving is rendered with meticulous detail, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of the early 19th century. The subtle hand-colored tones enhance the divine aura of Zeus, making this print a timeless addition to any collection of classical antiquities or mythological art.
- Date of Publication: 1805
- Origin: Friedrich Justin Bertuch’s *Porte-Feuille des Enfants*
- Condition: The engraving is in good condition with minor age-related foxing and light discoloration typical of early 19th-century prints. Well-preserved overall.
This print is a perfect choice for collectors, historians, or anyone with an appreciation for classical mythology and 19th-century art.
Here are some recommendations for framing and presenting this engraving to enhance its historical and artistic appeal while ensuring proper preservation:
1. Frame Style
- Material: Choose a high-quality wooden or gilded frame. Options like mahogany, walnut, or an antique gold finish complement the classical theme.
- Design: Select a simple yet elegant frame with subtle decorative details, such as beading or fluted edges, to echo the neoclassical style without overshadowing the engraving.
2. Matting
- Color: Use an acid-free mat in a neutral tone, such as ivory, off-white, or pale cream, to draw attention to the artwork and prevent contact with the glass.
- Border Size: A slightly wider mat border (around 2–4 inches) creates balance and helps focus the viewer's attention on the engraving.
- Double Matting (Optional): For a refined look, consider an inner mat in a soft complementary color like light gray or pale gold to add depth.
3. Glass
- UV-Protective Glass: Opt for museum-grade UV-filtering glass or acrylic to safeguard the engraving from light exposure while reducing glare.
- Non-Glare Option: Non-reflective glass ensures optimal viewing, especially in brightly lit areas.
4. Backboard and Mounting
- Archival Backing: Use an acid-free backing board to protect the engraving from moisture and dust while providing structural support.
- Mounting Method: Secure the engraving with archival-quality corners or hinges to avoid adhesive contact with the artwork.
5. Presentation Placement
- Display the framed engraving in a stable environment with consistent temperature and low humidity to prevent damage. Avoid direct sunlight or exposure to harsh artificial light.
- Suitable spaces include libraries, studies, or galleries where the engraving complements other classical or antique items.
6. Labeling
- Add a small engraved brass plaque or label beneath the frame with details such as "Zeus (Jupiter) – Published in 1805 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch" to highlight its provenance and historical value.
7. Alternative Display
- If not framed traditionally, consider showcasing the engraving in a display case alongside other related prints or artifacts. Use museum-grade lighting to accentuate its details without causing harm.

Swedish Grace and Grandeur: The Aquatint Legacy of Ulrik Thersner, 1825
Located in Langweer, NL
This hand-colored aquatint is a topographical view of Djursholm Castle in Danderyd, Sweden, and it is a part of Ulrik Thersner's ambitious project, "Fordna och närvarande Sverige" (Antiquity and Present Sweden). This work aimed to be a modern counterpart to Erik Dahlbergh's "Suecia antiqua et hodierna," a significant 17th-century work that showcased Sweden's historical and contemporary landscapes, buildings, and monuments through engravings.
Ulrik Thersner's endeavor in creating "Fordna och närvarande Sverige" involved drawing several mansions, among other subjects, and began publishing these works in 1817. The technique used, aquatint, is a form of etching that allows for the creation of images with tonal variations, resembling watercolor paintings, which makes it particularly suited for detailed and atmospheric topographical representations like the one of Djursholm Castle.
Carl Fredrik Akrell, a notable engraver, worked on engraving Thersner's images, which were then executed in aquatint, a process that allows for a rich gradation of tones and a painterly quality. Wilhelm Maximilian Carpelan later joined the publication effort, indicating a collaborative process in bringing Thersner's vision to fruition.
The parts of the series were published over a period, with Skåne completed in 1823, and the regions of Östergötland, Uppland, and Södermanland addressed in the years 1820 and 1824-25. Thersner's personal involvement in writing the text for the pictures underlines the detailed and scholarly approach taken in producing this series.
Thersner's "Fordna och närvarande Sverige" would have been an invaluable contribution to the documentation of Swedish cultural heritage and landscape during the early 19th century, providing a vivid pictorial record that would have appealed to both the scholarly community and the general public interested in the country's history and geography. The print of Djursholm Castle that you are referring to would be a part of this important series.
More about the maker:
Ulrik Thersner was a multifaceted individual, having an impactful military career alongside his work as a draftsman and topographer. Born on April 2, 1779, in Kyrkslätt parish in Finland, Thersner began his military service early, becoming a ship's boy in the Swedish navy at the tender age of seven. His naval service during Gustav III's Russian War...

Social Hierarchy of the Nagai Tartars - An Etching by Geissler, ca. 1800
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Social Hierarchy of the Nagai Tartars - An Etching by Geissler, ca. 1800"
Description: This etching by Christian Gottfried Heinrich Geissler, titled "Nagai Tartars," is a fine representation of the German School from around the year 1800.
It portrays three figures, labeled to indicate their social standing: a woman of distinction, her daughter, and a female servant, numerically annotated as 1, 2, and 3 respectively. The detailed depiction captures the intricate attire and cultural fashion of the period, reflecting the societal structure and familial roles within the Nagai Tartar community.
The women are adorned in traditional garments that signify their status and identity, while the setting suggests a backdrop typical of their environment, providing a glimpse into the life of the Tartar people at the turn of the 19th century.
The Nagai or Nogai Tartars were part of the Nogai Horde, a confederation that occupied the Pontic–Caspian steppe from about 1500 until they were displaced in the 17th century by the Kalmyks and Russians. They were named after Nogai Khan, a Mongol ruler, and were divided into groups such as the Budjak and Yedisan in the area north of the Black Sea. The Nogais were known to be pastoral nomads who grazed sheep, horses, and camels and were also involved in trade, raiding, and tribute. They spoke a form of Kypchak Turkic and were Muslim, although their religious institutions were not strongly developed. The societal structure of the Nogais was quite fluid, with personal prestige playing a significant role in their political organization. They were historically known for their slave raids across Eastern Europe, which were an important part of their economy.
The term "Tatar" broadly refers to Turkic-speaking peoples, mainly found in west-central Russia and other former Soviet Republics. It was originally used to refer to various nomadic groups from the vast Central and Northern Asian region then known as Tartary. The largest Tatar group is the Volga Tatar from the Volga region in Russia. There are several Tatar groups, including the Volga Tatars and the Crimean Tatars, with the latter being subdivided into groups such as the Tats and the Nogai.
The Tatars have a rich history that dates back to the 5th century when nomadic tribes in northeastern Mongolia around Lake Baikal were first recognized. They became part of Genghis Khan's army in the 13th century and were known to Europeans as Tatars. Following the disintegration of the Mongol Empire, the Tatars were particularly associated with the western part of the empire, the Golden Horde...
