Joh. Jak. Scheuchzer, Bible Engraving, Noah’s Ark, Folio, Hand Coloured
Located in Norwich, GB
Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (1672-1733); engraved by P.A. Kilian. Bible engraving, Noah’s Ark Folio. Dimensions: 38 x 24 cm. Hand coloured This fascinating folio engraving is from Johann Jakob Scheuchzer’s Physica Sacra. The work was published in Augsburg und Ulm between 1731 and 1735. Each engraving features highly decorative borders which feature biblical and scientific depictions. Physica Sacra combined theological and scientific practices in an attempt to reconcile biblical passages with the new sciences of the time. The work is an extraordinary illustrated natural history work, and a great example of the decorative nature of the 18th century copper engraving. Scheuchzer was a founder of paleobotany and European paleontology, as well as a professor of mathematics and physics. He believed the Old Testament was a factual account of the history of the world...

Folio Portraits of Artists, Puligo, Fiesole, Rossi, Gallo, Cosimo
By Giovanni Battista Falda
Located in Norwich, GB
Fine folio including early and finely executed portraits of Renaissance artists by Joachim von Sandrart. Included are portraits of: Mino da Fiesole; Giuliano da Sangallo; Domenico Puligo; Andrea da Fiesole, and Properzia de' Rossi. The latter is of particular historical significance in that Properzia de' Rossi (c. 1490 Bologna – 1530 Bologna) was a ground-breaking female Italian Renaissance sculptor, the only woman to receive a biography in Vasari's Lives of the Artists. According to Vasari, she taught herself to carve by working with peach-stones. At the end of her life, she was sought out by the Pope Clement VII, who unfortunately found her dead. Sometimes referred to as the “German Vasari,” Joachim von Sandrart, born in Frankfurt, trained first as a printmaker, notably in Nuremberg, and in Prague with Aegidius Sadeler. He then studied painting from 1625 on, originally in the studio of Gerrit van Honthorst...

Esquisse des principales hauteurs des deux continens dressée par Mr. de Göthe,... d'après l'ouvrage de Mr. de Humboldt, publié en 1807 sous le titre d'Essai sur la géographie des plantes Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von (1749-1832). Cartographer Using information from: Humboldt, Alexander von (1769-1859) 32 x 27 cm on a leaf measuring 47 x 55 cm. Extremely rare example of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s comparative chart to depict the relative height of mountains, thus defining a cartographic style that would flourish throughout the remainder of the 19th century. This map is extremely scarce. It was issued and sold independently in Paris, 1813. Beginning in 1805, Goethe gave lectures on natural sciences to a group of Weimar women on Wednesday mornings. The audience included the Duchess Luise, Schiller's widow Charlotte and her sister Caroline von Wolzogen. Here Goethe used his image of heights on April 1, 1807 for the first time. A copy was sent to Alexander von Humboldt...
