Martin (John) Paradise Lost: By John Milton, first edition in the original 12 parts, Imperial Quarto issue, Septimus Prowett, 1825-26.
Est: £12,000 - £16,000
Martin (John) Paradise Lost: By John Milton, first edition in the original 12 parts, Imperial Quarto issue containing the larger set of mezzotint plates, with the complete set of 24 plates (2 to each part) as issued, platemarks each c. 355 x 255 mm (14 x 10 in), sheets c. 385 x 276 mm (15 1/4 x 10 7/8 in), tissue-guards, some scattered marginal foxing, 2 small puncture marks to both plates of part 11, not affecting image but within platemark, original roan-backed grey-blue wrappers, part 1 sympathetically rebacked, upper wrapper chipped at upper corner, part 3 spine faded with wear to foot, part 11 upper wrapper torn at head with very small loss, some light general soiling or faint spotting to covers, occasional rubbing to spine ends, untrimmed and partially unopened, the 12 parts preserved in a custom drop-back box, folio, Septimus Prowett, 1825-26. ⁂ Very rare in the original parts. The mezzotint process entails a considerable application of ink on the page, often resulting in heavy foxing; but the mezzotints in this copy are remarkably clean. Publication took nearly two years, the parts issued as Martin's mezzotints were completed, the order of images not necessarily correlating with the text. The engravings were greeted with outstanding critical acclaim, prompting the release of 4 further editions by the end of 1827. The critic for The Literary Gazette proclaimed: "we know no artist, whose genius so perfectly fitted him being the illustrator of the mighty Milton; and in what we have seen of his conceptions he has more than realised the highest of our hopes. There is a wildness, a grandeur, and a mystery about his designs which are indescribably fine:- the painter is also a poet." [The Literary Gazette, April 2nd 1825]. Provenance: Robert H. & Donna L. Jackson (book-label to inside of drop-back box). Literature: Campbell & Wees, 1992, nos. 26-49.

There is a wildness, a grandeur, and a mystery about his designs which are indescribably fine:- the painter is also a poet. ... we look upon these engravings to belong to the foremost order of true genius: beyond this there is no praise."

Martin Van Buren Biographical Sketch of John Quincy Adams from Unfinished Autobiography
Est: $6,000 - $7,000
Martin Van Buren Biographical Sketch of John Quincy Adams from Unfinished Autobiography 14pp written on 11 leaves, all measuring approximately 7.75" x 12.75", no place, Ca. 1853-1854. One page has writing in ink on verso, and another two have writing in pencil on verso. The pages have been paginated by Van Buren 374–375, 383–388, 397, 399–400, with numerous deletions and emendations. The blue pages watermarked Magnay & Bennett patent 1853, have been laid into thicker cream sheets. All of the text appears to have been written solely in Van Buren's hand. Martin Van Buren began writing his autobiography at Villa Falangola in Sorrento, Italy, on June 21, 1854, but it would not be completed until after his death. It is said that Van Buren wrote or dictated his autobiography until his death, and his son made a manuscript copy from his father's original autograph draft. Smith Thompson Van Buren, the son and literary executor of the President, then extended the manuscript and it was presented to the Library of Congress in 1905. The majority of the original copy was either dispersed or discarded, but fragments of chapters such as these can still be found. The section of the manuscript offered here is a portrait of John Quincy Adams, who, although a former political rival of Van Buren's, still appears to have commanded a great deal of respect from his successor. Highlights from the manuscript include: "John Quincy Adams was as honest & incorruptible as his father. He was equally bold and fearless in the avowal and maintenance of his opinions, & in his feelings, & habits more Democratic. In respect to the unaffected simplicity of his manners & the slight value he placed upon the pride & pomp of office, he did not fall behind any of our Democratic presidents, not excepting Mr. Jefferson, who, it will be remembered by a few, so outraged the sensibilities of the sticklers for official dignity by wearing red breeches & tying his horse to a peg, when he had occasion to visit the Capitol." "Brought up, as was at that day the universal custom, & is still too much the case, in the belief that there could be nothing good in our opponents, I entered public life with strong prejudices against Mr. Adams. Although I had not the good fortune to be in power with the administration, or to be partially regarded by himself whilst he was the head of Mr. Monroe's cabinet, and was ranked among opponents of his own administration, from first to last, my respect for his character as a straightforward, well meaning man, lasted from my first acquaintance with him in my Senatorial capacity till the close of his life. His personal demeanor towards me was invariably respectful & as cordial as I could desire. If personal antipathies were excited in his breast by political affectation towards others I never knew any reason to complain on that point, with in respect to himself or to his accomplices & excellent wife. His administration was encumbered by great difficulties from the moment it was formed to its close…" "These were in part of his own creation & arose in part from obstacles rising from his political condition which it was difficult to deviate. The former consisted of the appointment of Henry Clay to the head of his Cabinet, & the character of his Inaugural & first annual messages; The latter resentments produced by the undoubted fact that his election had been effected against the wishes of a large majority of the people, resentments the virulence of which was greatly increased by the success with which suspicion was cast upon the purity of the means by which it had been accomplished & a dissatisfaction with the steps that were taken to avert them. The Inaugural address was the first in order in point of time. Mr. Adams had done much to conciliate the respect & new esteem of the Republican Party. He had assured Himself to the resentments of the Essex Junto by the support of the [illegible] Embargo recommended by Mr. Jefferson, and several of the war measures of Mr. Madison's administration…" The pages have a few minor stains and inkblots. Light edge toning. Some of the pencil writing has faded a small amount. All are housed in a gilt-lettered maroon cloth portfolio, very fine. This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.

John Martin, Joshua commanding the Sun to stand still. 1927
Est: €700 - €1,400
Mezzatinta. mm 565x785. Foglio: mm 620x840. Testo tipografico in basso: "Painted and engraved by John Martin (...) London. Published May 9, 1827, by Mr. Martin, 30, Allsops Buildings, New Road.". Dall'omonimo dipinto del 1816 e dal disegno ad inchiostro acquerellato del 1822 ca. In questa opera epica e densamente popolata, John Martin descrive la battaglia biblica a Gabaon, parte della conquista di Canaan. Giosuè, come capo degli israeliti, chiede a Dio di far sì che la luna e il sole si fermino in modo che lui e il suo esercito possano continuare a combattere alla luce del giorno. Dio assiste ulteriormente Giosuè invocando una potente tempesta per bombardare i Cananei con pioggia e grandine. In seguito a questa battaglia, Giosuè condusse gli israeliti a molte altre vittorie, conquistando infine gran parte di Canaan. Martin combina i generi della storia e della pittura di paesaggio in quest'opera dando uguale spazio compositivo e attenzione artistica sia alla narrativa umana che alla drammatica natura circostante. L'artista aveva intenzione di farne un'incisione fin dal 1817 e commissionò il lavoro all'incisore professionale di mezzatinta Charles Turner. Tuttavia lo trovò insoddisfacente e ricominciò l'incisione su una lastra d'acciaio morbida. Il figlio di Martin, Leopold, disse che "nel giro di quattro mesi mio padre ha completato quella che è stata una delle sue incisioni di maggior successo". Dopo la pubblicazione di questa incisione nel maggio 1827, i critici la considerarono estatici come una "splendida produzione di genio", una "stampa superba ... piena di grandezza, sublimità e poesia, un onore per l'artista e un orgoglio per la sua nazione".

2 volumi in-4° imperiale (mm 355x265). Pagine [6], 228; [4], 218 con 24 tavole fuori testo incise a mezzatinta protette da veline. Legatura coeva in mezza pelle con punte, dorsi a cinque nervi decorati oro, piatti in tela. Prima edizione. Esemplare arricchito da una lettera autografa di Martin conservata sciolta, firmata e datata 23 ottobre 1826, e un biglietto autografo sempre di Martin firmato incollato all’inizio del 1° volume, che contiene anche una piccola incisione in acciaio di Finden da un soggetto di Martin, due frammenti di recensioni a stampa, un ritratto di John Martin, una seconda incisione di Le Keux da Martin e una breve nota biografica manoscritta incollati a due carte aggiunte. Una seconda copia del ritratto è contenuta sciolta all’inizio del secondo volume. Nel 1823, Prowett commissionò a Martin 24 illustrazioni di grandi dimensioni (mm 190x280) per una nuova edizione del Paradise Lost; l'editore avrebbe poi commissionato una serie aggiuntiva di tavole più piccole (mm 150x200). Di conseguenza, nel 1827 The Paradise Lost è apparso in quattro formati diversi: folio o quarto con le grandi tavole, e quarto o ottavo con quelle più piccole. Il risultato fu una delle più grandi imprese editoriali del periodo romantico apocalittico. Il successo fu grande e destinato a restare nel tempo. Martin adottò l’incisione a mezzatinta, tecnica sviluppata da Thomas Lupton nel 1822. Con maestria ne sfruttò il potenziale chiaroscurale raggiungendo effetti spettacolari nella resa del buio e della luce, dell’altezza e della profondità. SI AGGIUNGE: John Milton.
