As You Like It. Act II, Scene vii. The Seven Ages. First Age-Seventh Age.

As You Like It. Act II, Scene vii. The Seven Ages. First Age----Seventh Age. (Engravings after Robert Smirke by (respectively) Petro William Tompkins, John Ogborne, Robert Thew, John Ogborne, Jean Pierre Simon, William Satchwell Leney, John Pierre Simon). [London: Boydell,] June 4, 1801. 7 original engravings, each 15 x 21", on laid paper with large margins. Slight soiling and stains in lower right margin. In very good condition. A very attractive set. These seven engravings are based on the paintings by Robert Smirke that illustrate Jacque's famous "All the World's a Stage" discourse on the futility of life from act 2, scene 7. All seven engravings were published individually and then collected in 1803 in John and Joshua Boydell's A Collection of Printed from Pictures Painted for the Purpose of Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakespeare by the artists of Great Britain (1803). The origin of these majestic engraving grew from the ideas of the publisher Alderman John Boydell who, in 1786, decided to issue a monumental edition of Shakespeare accompanied by an even larger suite of engravings which could be admired apart from the book. This separate suite of fine engravings extended to 100, of which these two of Romeo & Juliet are among the most famous. In publishing these engravings, Boydell's moral and patriotic intention was to create an appreciation in England of history painting with its high aim of capturing a significant moment of action that could express ‘grandeur' or ‘universal passion.' To ensure financial success, Boydell enlisted every important painter in England, including Benjamin West, George Romney, Henry Fuseli and, of course, Sir Joshua Reynolds. Although the project ended in bankruptcy and liquidation, these magnificent engravings remain after 200 years a prize of print collectors. Reference: Burwick & Pape, The Boydell Shakespeare Gallery (1995) We have a few other engravings from selected plays. Call to inquire.

Céleste as the Maid of Cashmere.

Céleste as the Maid of Cashmere. [London: Hodgson and Graves, November, 1837]. After a painting by E.T. Parris; Lithographed by A. Dick. Octagonal 8 x 15" (plate size), 8 ½ x 17 ½" (sheet size). Original lithograph on paper. Mounted on stiff paper, trimmed to 1/4" of left margin, lacking publisher's logo at bottom. Beautifully framed. Mademe Céleste, (Anastasie Céleste des Rousselles. b. 1810, Marcilly-la-Campagne, France; d. 1882, Paris). According to Nancy Reynolds, Céleste's "great popularity rested mainly on her eloquent performances in melodrama, in which she was particularly noted for her command of gesture." Although criticized by Binney as a popular but not a "professional" dancer, Céleste, according to Parmenia Migel, performed valiantly all through Europe and was "the most beloved performer ever to tour the United States... and had the distinction of being America's first Sylphide." One of the most famous episodes of dance in 19th century America, and subject of several satirical engravings, was when Céleste in 1836 was presented to President Andrew Jackson in his chambers for a private performance.

Costumes of America.

http://www.goldenlegend.com/photos/photos/costumesAmerica.jpg

Costumes of America. Philadelphia: Henderson, 1852. Sm. 4to. Original greenish blue cloth, gilt. Spine ends chipped otherwise a very good copy. 96 p. including 24 plates, plus 8 p. catalog of Henderson Juvenile Books. Costumes of America is an important juvenile book which introduces the young reader to the customs, dress and character of Indian tribes of North and South America. Several types of Brazilian Indians are described, as well as Indians from Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay and others, extending as far south as Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. For each of the types of Indians, there is a brief description of their location and their principal means of occupation. Often times, the costume plate which illustrates their clothing is explained. Of great importance is the moral discussion of the Indian's character. The character of the particular Indian tribe is often linked to government: Ie: Mexican Indians: "They are extremely ignorant and their present want of instruction is attributed to the extinction of the Aztec priesthood, their ancient instructors, for which nothing has been substituted by the Spanish priests in the way of general education" Or, for the Haytians: "the people are poor and indolent, although they possess one of the most fertile and delightful islands in the whole world. It is true that despotism affords little encouragement to industry. But it is the natural indolence of the negro which makes him neglect labor and submit to a wicked and bad government."
