Crispijn de Passe I (aka
Crispin Van de Passe; Crispin De Passe) (1564–1637)
Plates 1 (“Noah and His Family Leaving the
House”) and 2 (“The Flood”) from the series of six plates, “The History of Noah”,
c1590 (1580–1600), after Maarten de Vos (aka Marten de Vos; Maerten de
Vos) (1532–1603), initially published by Philips Galle (aka Philippe
Galle; Philippus Gallaeus) (1537–1612) in Antwerp. This pair of impressions
have the original encircling rings of text removed and, consequently, must have
been published later.
See the suite of engravings with the rings of text at the National Gallery of Victoria: https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/explore/collection/work/117929/.
Note that I have previously posted a set of six
engravings (now sold) from the series, “The History of Adam
and Eve”, also by Crispijn de Passe I, that are similarly trimmed of the
encircling rings of text (see https://www.printsandprinciples.com/2020/07/unidentified-engraver-after-crispijn-de.html)
Engravings on laid paper with wide margins.
Size: ([Plate 1] sheet) 13.5 x 10.5 cm; (plate
dia.) 7.3 cm; (image borderline dia.) 7 cm.
Hollstein Dutch 9 and Hollstein Dutch 10.
Condition: well-printed impressions from
slightly worn plates with large margins around the platemark/image borderline.
The sheets are in good condition for their considerable age with no tears,
abrasions or significant stains; nevertheless, there is a wormhole in the upper-margin
of Plate 1.
I am selling this pair of small and beautifully
executed engravings, for AU$294 in total for the set of two engravings
(currently US$106.51/EUR177.80/GBP156.52 at the time of posting this listing)
including postage and handling to anywhere in the world but not (of course) any
import duties/taxes imposed by some countries.
If you are interested in purchasing this marvellous pair of engravings, please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
