Description

Henry Albert Hartland, Irish 1840-1893- Lake Killarney, Ross Island; watercolour on paper, signed 'Albert Hartland' (lower left), bears label inscribed 'Lake Killarney Ross Island' attached verso, 28.8 x 59.2 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Hartland began his artistic career as an illustrator for a Cork bookseller and building scenery for the Cork Theatre and the Theatre Royal, Dublin. However, he is best known for his atmospheric watercolours of the Irish countryside, with his depictions of expansive landscapes occupied only by diminutive figures in the distance, as in this instance, or, often, with no trace of human presence at all, imparting a particular sense of peace and tranquility to his oeuvre.

TOCQUEVILLE, Alexis; de. De la Démocratie en Amérique. Huitième et deuxième éditions. Paris, Gosselin, 1840 4 Volumes in 8vo. 214x130 mm. Coeval havana leather binding, double gilt fillet on plates, sinew spine decorated with gilt fillets and double gusset with titles, polychrome marbled guard-leaves and cuts. Composed as follows: Pages [2], 358; [2], 423, 1 blank; [2], V, [3], 333, 1 blank; [2], 363, 1 blank. An out-of-text map folded several times in the first volume, imprinted in lithograph, with coeval coloring. Heytesbury House heraldic ex libris, pasted to the counterparts, with motto "Grandescunt Aucta Labore." Eyes missing. Beautiful copy in fine coeval binding. Revised and corrected edition of the seminal work on the United States of America. Eighth edition of part one, second edition of part two. Tocqueville revised each edition of the first part up to the eighth edition, so each of the first editions has unique aspects that make it interesting. Alexis de Tocqueville arrived in the United States in the spring of 1831, accompanied by his friend and fellow student Gustave de Beaumont. Their original goal was to study the prison system in the United States. After visiting prisons in the East, they undertook a tour of the South to New Orleans, traveled up the Mississippi, visited the Great Lakes and Canada, and returned via New York after traveling for nine months. After writing his report on prisons, Tocqueville began work on the first part of 'Democracy in America' in 1833-34 and published it, in less than 500 copies, in January 1835. Almost from the outset, Tocqueville's work enjoyed the reputation of being the sharpest and most insightful discussion ever published on the political and social life of the United States, and it is still a seminal classic. Whether it is considered a textbook on American political institutions, a survey of society and culture, an inquiry into the psyche of the United States, or a study of the actions of modern democratic society, the book has continued to offer insights and provoke reflection since its inception. The book was an immediate success, and numerous editions, many with revisions, quickly followed, so much so that the second part, first published in April 1840, was published at the same time as the eighth edition of the first part, this very specimen we present.Prestigious specimen of prestigious provenance, belonging to William Henry Ashe à Court-Holmes later Holmes-à Court, 2nd Baron Heytesbury, 1809 - 1891, British peer and Conservative member of Parliament.Howes T278, T279.

Hans Thoma (1839 Bernau - 1924 Karlsruhe) Landscape on the Upper Rhine In the present painting from 1916, Thoma returned to a composition that he had already painted in 1903 as a "fantasy landscape" in an only slightly different version (see Henry Thode: "Thoma. Des Meisters Gemälde", 1909, ill. p. 375, there dated 1893). In a deep, spatial view, Thoma allows the viewer to see an Arcadian, ideal summer landscape of the Upper Rhine; the river, which meanders in soft curves into the background of the picture, is embedded in gentle hills, mountains and meadows, some of which are covered with trees and flowers. The intimate connection between man and nature is embodied by the small shepherd couple with their flock of sheep on a hill in the foreground. The harmony of the picture as a whole corresponds to the subtly nuanced, all-melting coloring in pastel shades of blue and green. Apart from the pair of shepherds, only a built-up river island, which can only be reached via a bridge, and the occasional, dimly recognizable piece of architecture hint at the existence of people. In this respect, this landscape is also an expression of Thomas' understanding of the sublimity of nature; it is intended to encourage the viewer to pause, to rediscover the magic of a pre-modern place of longing and to engage with it. Born in Bernau in the Black Forest as the son of a woodcutter, Thoma had to struggle for a long time for artistic recognition and material security. It was only by chance that his talent was recognized and Thoma was able to study with the landscape painter Johann Wilhelm Schirmer at the Grand Ducal School of Art in Karlsruhe on a scholarship from 1859 to 1866. In 1868 he traveled to Paris, where he was particularly impressed by the works of Gustave Courbet and the Barbizon School. However, the large-format landscapes inspired by these works, which Thoma exhibited at the Karlsruhe Kunstverein at the time, were still rejected by the conservative art public. Undeterred, he continued on his artistic path and found fellow artists, living first in Munich from 1870 to 1876 and then in Frankfurt am Main for over 20 years. In 1890, Thoma's first major successful solo exhibition took place at the Munich Kunstverein and he joined the Munich Secession. In 1899, Thoma was appointed director of the Kunsthalle and professor at the art school in Karlsruhe. In 1909, while he was still alive, Thoma was given his own museum in the Karlsruhe Kunsthalle, at which time he was one of the most respected artists and favorite painters in Germany. Oil and tempera on canvas; r. and ligature monogr. "HTh" with date 1916. 50 cm x 78.5 cm. Frame. Oil and tempera on canvas. Monogrammed and dated 1916.
