Funeral Procession in Rome with Hooded Figures and Clergy, London 1820
Located in Langweer, NL
Funeral Procession in Rome with Hooded Figures and Clergy, London 1820
This remarkable hand-colored print, titled “A Funeral Procession in Rome,” offers an evocative portrayal of a traditional Roman Catholic funeral rite in early 19th-century Italy. Drawn by the artist K. Brodtmann in 1820 and published by William Sams in London, this lithograph provides a vivid, carefully staged glimpse into a deeply ceremonial aspect of Roman religious life.
At the center of the composition is the coffin, ornately draped and carried on a litter adorned with tall white candles. Hooded penitents in long white robes, known as *confratelli*, process solemnly in front of and behind the bier. These members of religious brotherhoods, identifiable by their distinctive pointed hoods and blue cord sashes, traditionally took part in such rituals of public devotion and mourning.
Behind them follows a group of clergy in white surplices and black cassocks. One priest stands out in an elaborate gold-embroidered chasuble, emphasizing his seniority or special role in the rite. To the right, more acolytes and a hooded standard-bearer carrying a religious banner complete the scene. At the far left, a layman hefts a large wooden cross...

Engraving of Traditional Chilean Circle Dance: A Festive Gathering in 1827 Chile
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print titled "Danze de' Chiliesi" (Dance of the Chileans), from the historical work "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" by Giulio Ferrario. The print, created in 1821, showcases a traditional Chilean dance, vividly captured in line and aquatint etching with original hand coloring on wove (vellin) paper.
The scene depicts a group of Chilean dancers in a circular formation, engaging in a traditional dance. The dancers are adorned in colorful attire, featuring breechcloths, leggings, and vibrant headdresses with feathers, which reflect their cultural heritage and the festive nature of the dance. The setting is outdoors, possibly during a community celebration or ritual, indicated by the natural backdrop and the casual yet organized arrangement of the figures.
Cultural and Historical Significance
This print is significant as it provides a visual documentation of Chilean cultural practices from the early 19th century, emphasizing the traditional dances that were an integral part of community gatherings and celebrations. The artwork, by C. Bramati and Paolo Fumagalli after designs by Giulio Ferrario, is part of a larger series that aimed to capture the costumes and customs of people around the world, offering insights into the diversity of cultural expressions during a time of burgeoning global awareness.
The detailed depiction not only highlights the dance but also serves as an ethnographic record, preserving aspects of Chilean culture that might have evolved or faded over time. This work, along with others in the series, was widely distributed and appreciated for its educational and artistic value, making significant contributions to the understanding of global cultural heritage in the 19th century.

Antique Botanical Print of Banana Shrub and Starry Wild Jasmine, 1803
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Antique Botanical Print of Banana Shrub and Starry Wild Jasmine, 1803
This title accurately reflects the plant subjects depicted in the illustration: the Banana Shrub (Fig. 1, showing the seed pod) and the Starry Wild Jasmine (Fig. 2, showing the flower in bloom).
This antique engraving from April 23, 1803, beautifully illustrates two botanical figures, emphasizing the natural beauty and complexity of plant life. Here's what makes these illustrations unique and special:
1. Botanical Detail: Fig. 1 shows a plant section with a dark, almost wilted appearance, possibly representing the fruiting body or a seed pod, which contrasts with the lively and vibrant Fig. 2, depicting a flower in bloom. This juxtaposition captures both the end and the beginning of life cycles in the plant kingdom, showcasing the botanical accuracy and attention to detail that was essential in early scientific illustrations.
2. Artistic Technique: The illustration is a fine example of handcolored copperplate engraving, a method that requires exceptional skill. This technique allows for precise details and subtle gradations of color, qualities that make antique botanical prints highly valued by collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
3. Historical and Educational Value: Published by W. Curtis at St. George Crescent in 1803, this work is part of a larger series that aimed to educate and inform about the diversity of plant species. Such prints are crucial for understanding how plants were studied and classified in the early 19th century, providing insight into the history of botany and scientific illustration.
4. Collectibility: Due to their age, artistic merit, and the detailed craftsmanship, prints like these are sought after by collectors of antique botanical art...
