Set of 6 Ottoman Costume Prints, Hand-Colored Engravings, 1767 Description: A highly decorative and cohesive set of six original hand-colored engravings depicting figures in Ottoman dress, published in London in 1767 by Thomas Jefferys, Geographer to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. These prints originate from the important 18th-century publication *A Collection of the Dresses of Different Nations, Ancient and Modern*, a work that reflects Europe’s growing fascination with global cultures and costume traditions. The engravings are based on designs after notable artists such as Holbein, Van Dyke, and Hollar, and combine ethnographic interest with refined decorative appeal. Each engraving presents a full-length figure in traditional Ottoman attire, rendered with clarity and elegance against a clean background. The garments—flowing robes, layered textiles, and distinctive headwear—are highlighted through delicate and well-preserved hand coloring. The set includes the following figures: Habit of the Greek Sultana, 1749 Habit of the White Sultana, 1749 Habit of the Black Sultana, 1749 Habit of a Turkish Lady of the Grand Seignior’s Seraglio, 1568 Habit of the Janesary Aga, or Chief Commandant of the Janissaries Habit of the Tchorbadgi, or Captain of the Janissaries, 1700 This grouping forms a harmonious and balanced composition, particularly suitable for a symmetrical wall display. With a consistent scale and palette, the set offers a refined decorative presence while retaining strong historical character. Such costume engravings are increasingly valued for their versatility in interior design, bridging 18th-century craftsmanship with contemporary decorative aesthetics.

Leonardo da Vinci Battle of Anghiari Engraving by Edelinck After Rubens c1660 A powerful mid-17th-century engraving of the famous “Battle of Anghiari” by Gérard Edelinck, executed around 1660 after Leonardo da Vinci’s lost composition and the celebrated drawing by Peter Paul Rubens. Also known as the Battle of the Standard, the scene shows three mounted warriors locked in ferocious combat over the banner that signals victory. The rearing horses, intertwined figures and dramatic energy reflect the extraordinary dynamism of Leonardo’s original design for the Great Council Hall of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. Leonardo’s experimental fresco method caused the original painting to deteriorate quickly, and it was eventually overpainted by Vasari. Edelinck’s engraving, based on Rubens’s vivid reconstruction, remains one of the most important surviving documents of the composition. Edelinck, one of the finest engravers of the 17th century, renders the complex anatomy, armour and movement with exceptional precision and tonal mastery. Large-format engravings of the Battle of Anghiari are increasingly sought after for their direct connection to Leonardo’s lost masterpiece and their strong decorative impact. This impression offers rich detail and compelling presence. A significant addition for collectors of Renaissance art, Old Master prints and historically important battle imagery. Condition: Strong impression with good tonal range; light age toning and handling marks; small tear in the upper right border; margins tight; no major losses or repairs. Suitable for professional framing. Framing: Best floated on off-white museum board in a thin black or dark walnut frame with a deep profile. Museum glass recommended to enhance contrast and preserve detail.

Three Antique Venetian Interior & Architectural Views, c.1845 This attractive set of three original hand-colored architectural prints depicts notable interiors and courtyards associated with the rich artistic and religious heritage of Venice. The plates show a magnificent basilica interior adorned with Byzantine-style mosaics and domes, a Renaissance staircase and courtyard framed by elegant arches and classical statuary, and a cloistered arcade opening onto a tranquil ecclesiastical courtyard. Together they offer a fascinating visual survey of Venetian architecture from the medieval, Byzantine, and Renaissance periods. Published in the early nineteenth century, these finely engraved views combine architectural precision with delicate hand coloring. The artist carefully rendered the interplay of light, shadow, arches, columns, vaults, and decorative details, creating images that are both historically informative and aesthetically pleasing. Such plates were produced during a period when European travelers, scholars, and collectors developed a growing fascination with Venice and its architectural treasures. The first view captures the grandeur of a church interior with soaring domes and glittering mosaic decoration, recalling the celebrated atmosphere of Venice's great basilicas. The second plate presents a monumental staircase and arcaded courtyard in a Renaissance palace setting, emphasizing symmetry, perspective, and classical design. The third view depicts a peaceful cloister framed by robust columns and Romanesque arches, illustrating the refined geometry that characterizes many Venetian religious complexes. The generous margins surrounding the engraved images are typical of deluxe nineteenth-century architectural publications and provide excellent opportunities for museum-style presentation. The subtle hand coloring enhances the atmosphere of each scene while preserving the clarity of the engraved line work. These prints would make an elegant addition to an interior focused on architecture, travel, Italy, Venice, Grand Tour imagery, or classical design. They are equally attractive displayed individually or as a coordinated group. Condition: Good antique condition. Light age toning, scattered foxing and minor handling wear consistent with age. Wide original margins preserved. Please study images carefully. Framing tips: These prints display beautifully in dark walnut, ebonized, or gilt frames with generous ivory mats. Hanging the three views together as a horizontal grouping creates a sophisticated gallery presentation reminiscent of a nineteenth-century Grand Tour collection.

Satirical German Military Engraving of Napoleon as the Little Corporal, c1835 This 19th-century German engraving presents a humorous encounter between a marching soldier and Napoleon Bonaparte, referred to here by his well-known nickname “the Little Corporal.” The guard refuses to let Napoleon pass, replying firmly: “Man passirt nicht — Und wär’ Ihr der kleine Corporal selbst; ich sage Euch man passirt nicht” (“One does not pass — and even if you were the Little Corporal himself, I tell you one does not pass”). The composition gently satirizes Napoleon’s legendary status, contrasting the anonymous authority of a common soldier with the figure who once ruled Europe. Produced around 1830–1850, likely in a German or Austrian print workshop, the engraving reflects the wave of post-Napoleonic satire that circulated widely in Central Europe. The artist captures the exchange with strong facial expressions, detailed uniforms and a richly rendered woodland setting. Prints of this type remain popular among collectors of Napoleonic history, military art and European caricature, while the crisp impression and large sheet size make it appealing as decorative wall art as well. A charming and historically engaging image from the early 19th century, combining humour, military history and well-executed engraving work. Condition: Strong impression; light age toning; minor handling marks; margins clean with no major tears or repairs. Suitable for immediate framing. Framing: Looks best floated on off-white or pale cream museum board in a thin black, dark walnut or antiqued gold frame. Museum glass recommended to preserve contrast and period detail.
