Civic Pride and Domestic Dignity in Siena: Treasurer, Matron, Rector, 1845 Print
Located in Langweer, NL
Civic Pride and Domestic Dignity in Siena: Treasurer, Matron, Rector - 1845 Description: This beautifully matched trio of hand-colored lithographs offers a rare and evocative look at civic and domestic dress in Renaissance Siena. Published in 1845, these images come from a celebrated series of historical costumes derived from authentic pictorial and sculptural sources. The prints bring to life three distinct societal roles—financial administrator, noble matron, and hospital rector—captured with finesse and saturated, historically accurate color. Plate No.37, titled "Trésorier" (Treasurer), portrays a Renaissance financier or bookkeeper at his desk, mid-task, with a ledger open and coins scattered across the surface. His orange cloak and deep crimson tunic are richly shaded, while the dark headwear adds gravity to his expression. He holds a money pouch in one hand and a quill in the other, suggesting both financial and administrative responsibility. This image vividly illustrates the importance of record-keeping and accountability in city governance. Plate No.38, "Matrone Siennoise" (Sienese Matron), presents a noblewoman in a stately turquoise gown...

Everyday Grace: A Common Woman of the Past, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
The original antique print shows a seated figure labeled "Muger plebeia," which translates from Spanish to "Plebeian Woman" or "Common Woman." The woman is dressed in a simple yet elegant manner, indicative of the common people of the time. She is wearing a long dress in a pinkish hue with a red overdress or tunic, which drapes gracefully around her. On her head, she wears a blue hood that covers her hair, which was typical for women during various historical periods to denote modesty or as a fashion statement. Her seated position and the presence of the cane suggest rest or perhaps age. The simplicity of her clothing, without elaborate jewelry or adornments, signifies her status as part of the lower social class, although her clothing is neat and well-kept. Egg whites can be applied as a varnish over pigments to enhance their brightness and to protect the colors. This application could make the colors appear more vivid and also add a slight glossy sheen to the surface of the image. Egg yolk, on the other hand, was commonly used as a binding agent in paint. It forms the basis of tempera paint, a medium that was widely used before the advent of oil painting. Egg yolk helps to create a durable and long-lasting color that adheres well to various surfaces. In the context of the print from 1847, it's less likely that egg whites or yolks were used directly on the print, as by that time, commercial printing processes would have been more advanced and less reliant on such manual methods. However, if this print is a representation of an earlier style or is meant to mimic the appearance of hand-painted manuscripts...

Cartography Print 1852 – Educational Diagram of Mountains, Winds, and Reefs
Located in Langweer, NL
Cartographic Masterpiece 1852 – Illustrated Guide to Map Symbols and Climate Description: This original 1852 plate titled "Illustrations of Chartography Plate I" offers a fascinating and visually rich introduction to 19th-century mapping techniques. Published in A School Atlas of Physical Geography by the eminent Scottish cartographer Alexander Keith Johnston, the plate served as an educational tool designed to teach the principles of cartography, climatology, geology, and meteorology. The detailed engravings include symbolic representations used on maps, such as forms of mountains, volcanoes, reef systems, and rainfall diagrams, along with charts of wind directions, cloud formations, and the system of contouring. Particularly notable is the lower section titled "Climatography," which combines scientific elements into a picturesque landscape featuring a rainbow, tornado, sea spray, and a mountain chain—all stylized to represent the natural forces shaping Earth’s surface. Johnston was a leading cartographer of the Victorian period, and this atlas was used widely in schools and scientific circles for its clarity and innovative visual methods. The plate was engraved and printed by W. & A.K. Johnston, his family firm, which gained a global reputation for excellence in educational publishing. This chart is not only historically significant but also aesthetically appealing, making it an ideal piece for collectors of antique scientific prints...
