BOLSWERT Boetius Adams (1580-1633), 28 early 17th century co - Lot 404
BOLSWERT Boetius Adams (1580-1633), 28 early 17th century copper engravings (except for the lower margin), mounted on strong paper (140 x 90 mm): allegorical or religious scenes published for Antoine Sucquet's Via vitae aeternae (a few small accidents or foxing, notably at the corners). a set of about 500 prints of various sizes from the 16th to the 19th century, coming from the collection of Jean-Joseph CARLIER (1794-1874), historian and writer, and continued by his son Louis CARLIER (1846-1921), journalist close to the Saint-Simonian movement, and his grandson Pierre CARLIER (1877-1923), former consul general in Usbuk (Turkey). This collection, started and formed mainly in the early and mid-19th century, includes five prints from the MARIETTE collection, initialled and dated on the back in pen and ink by Pierre II MARIETTE (1634-1716). These last ones come most probably from the MARIETTE sale of 1775. Some lots have been joined with the handwritten documents concerning them by Jean-Joseph CARLIER. The description has been as precise as possible, but does not exclude small defects, visible on the photos. The prints are almost all copper engravings, etchings or burins, and unless otherwise stated, are fixed by glue dots on 19th century strong paper and are sold as is. The dimensions are taken at the bowl unless otherwise stated.
