Album with green felt binding and silver foil onlays and original artwork within

Price: $600.00

Publisher: Salzburg, Austria, : 1813-1815

Seller ID: 005128

Binding: Felt. Decorated paper slipcase.

Condition: Very Good

Oblong, 9 by 14 cm. 12 leaves, a few with content on both sides, and each having an artwork of some kind. Five of these are watercolors applied directly to the paper (we would say original watercolors, although two are common images and so might well be copies), one pencil drawing, four hand-colored prints, one cut-out silhouette, and arguably the most interesting of all, embroidery into the paper, with the image thus on both sides of the paper (we are counting this as one piece). We would describe the album as a fairly typical example of a Germanic album amicorum of the period -- the Napo...

Austrian Album with original pencil drawings and cut-outs

Price: $600.00

Publisher: Salzburg, Wien, etc., : 1841-1845

Seller ID: 005129

Binding: Full Leather Box

Condition: Very Good

Oblong, 9 by 16 cm. 24 leaves of content, 12 of which have original artwork. Two of the specimens of artwork are delicate folk art-ish cut-outs -- one, a seraph surrounded by a wreath, the other, a brown tree. The rest are pencil drawings, a few qualifying as exquisite miniatures. Of these, one is of a bridge and castle, another, a lodge atop a hill -- this one being executed with a folk art sensibility. One of the remaining images is of a barefoot beggar in a long coat. Especially pleasing to us is a drawing of a dagger of sorts inserted diagonally through a laurel. Such albums would a...

Binding: Full Morocco. Slipcase.

1820s. Oblong, 12 by 20.5 cm. Unpaginated, 55 pages with content, fourteen of which contain original artwork, and two of which have locks of hair attached. Of the original artwork, three are floral illustrations created by the laying of fine beads. The remainder of the artwork is very well-executed watercolors as typify such albums: bouquets, flowers, monuments, a tree stump with a floral vine wrapped around it, etc. Text entries are in German and Danish. We believe the morocco on the spine and the boards is all original, although the spine is a different color and the gilt border decor...
