3. The Rake’s Progress at the University

in caricature (where he often rides an ass). He is aquiline and bearded, holds a crosier, and wears a cope. His ass has blinkers, on which a satyr’s mask is freely drawn. He leans towards John, saying, “Mr Bull, I have been to Paris - and seen all the fine sights there - I now want to have a peep at that little Church on the Hill - therefore let me pass the turnpike.” John (r.), a fat yokel, looks up at the Pope with a suspicious scowl, pointing over his shoulder at a large open book, ‘Test Oath’, which is on a book-rest attached to the gate-post. He says: “If you want to go through - pay the Toll, what the devil do you think I keep a turnpike gate for?” Behind the Pope stand four dissenting ministers anxiously watching the interview. Three say sanctimoniously : “Though I boast not gaudy trappings, nor am I mounted on Ass back, - yet if he goeth through verily I should like to go through also!”; “Verily so should I.”; “We should all like to go through”.

18. The Summer Snow Wood engraving Dalziel Brothers after Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones 1863 Image 142 x 107 mm, Sheet 287 x 237 mm mounted Illustration to ‘Good Words’, 1863, p.330 with title printed below.

Edward Burne-Jones designed the windows for St. Philip’s Cathedral, Birmingham. Born locally, Burne-Jones remembered being “carried out of myself with a sort of rapture,” when he made the offer to design the other two windows, and said he hoped, “perhaps not unreasonably hoped, to make [the new ones] worthy of my former achievement” (qtd. in Georgiana Burne-Jones, Vol. 2: 172).

Edward Burne-Jones was commisioned to produce ‘Summer Snow’ in 1863 for the Christian periodical ‘Good Words’.

The illustration accompanied a poem of the same title by the Victorian writer Dora Greenwell. It is believed that Holman Hunt endorsed Burne-Jones for the role, though the artist name that appeared in the index of the issue was ‘Christopher Jones’; a likely memorial to his son who had died in infancy the same year.

Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, 1st Bt (1833-1898) was a painter and designer closely associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Burne-Jones met William Morris as an undergraduate of Exeter College, Oxford, whilst studying for a degree in theology. The pair went on to work very closely together on numerous decorative arts projects including stained glass windows, tapestries, and illustrations. Originally intending to become a church minister, Burne-Jones never finished his degree, choosing instead to pursue an artistic career under the influence of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Rossetti heavily inspired his early work, but by the 1860’s his idiosyncratic style was beginning to develop. His mature work, however different in total effect, is rich in conscious echoes of Botticelli, Mantegna and other Italian masters of the Quattrocento.

Thusly, Burne Jones’ later paintings of classical and medieval subjects are some of the most iconic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. He was at the height of his popularity during the 1880’s, though his reputation began to decline with the onset of the Impressionists. He was created a baronet in 1894, when he formally hyphenated his name.

This print is from ‘Edward Burne-Jones’, by Malcolm Bell, London & New York: George Bell & Sons. The reproductions were provided by a variety of different publishers, and were bound in this compendium celebrating Burne Jones’ career.

This series included 83 large prospects of the 70 principal towns in England and Wales. It took the Buck brothers 28 years to complete their venture and during this time changes to their style. The brothers began to use a less formal style in their later engravings by including figures in the foreground and using more subtle landscapes in the background. In 1774, Robert Sayer obtained the plates, added page numbers to them and published them as Buck’s Antiquities.

Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-1677) left his native Prague in 1627.

He spent several years travelling and working in Germany before his patron, the Earl of Arundel brought him to London in 1636. During the civil wars, Hollar fought on the Royalist side, after which he spent the years 1644-52 in Antwerp. Hollar’s views of London form an important record of the city before the Great Fire of 1666. He was prolific and engraved a wide range of subjects, producing nearly 2,800 prints, numerous watercolours and many drawings.

Edward Mascall was a British artist active in the midseventeenth century. He is best known for his portraits of Oliver Cromwell, and a portrait of the Royalist soldier and politician George Monck (now in All Souls College, Oxford).

Oxford 46. Oxford - Bath Place Etching Ferdinand Giele c. 1918 Image and plate 377 x 230 mm mounted Signed, numbered and inscribed in pencil Edition 3 of 75.

Ferdinand Giele was born at Louvain in 1867, son of the Director of the Botanical Gardens Louvain. Giele was trained as a graphic artist and printer there. By the start of the First World War, he was teaching at the Louvain Academy, was engraver to the University and to the Prince d’Arenberg. On the night when the newly billeted German troops thought that they were being attacked by French soldiers and opened fire at each other and then on civilians, Giele’s house, like the great university library, was burnt to the ground, prompting his move to the United Kingdom.

From 1916 to 1919 Ferdinand Giele lived in England where he attended the famous etching classes given by Sir Frank Short at the Royal College of Art. Here he developed a fine linear style, and as Mons. Dumont wrote in the Biographie Nationale “il produit des oeuvres extremement remarkable en Angleterre”.

Almost all of his etchings were of Oxford as he was probably drawn by the nature of the University, which like Louvain, was collegiate. During his time in England Giele visited other cities, producing etchings of Windsor and Eton, and exhibited two, of Bury-St-Edmunds and Windsor at the Royal Academy. It was these three that were the only non-Oxford etchings he sent to the exhibition organised by La Graveur Originale Belge at the Fine Art Society in 1927. Giele also had an affinity for church interiors and these are among his best productions. In all he produced some hundred works.

Ferdinand Giele returned to Louvain at the end of the War where he produced a set of etchings of the havoc caused by the troubles on that night in 1914; he was a founder member of La Graveur Original Belge, and a member of the Belgian Societe des aquafortistes as well as being president of the Circle Royal Artistique de Leuven. He died in 1929.

to architectural subjects.

During the Second World War, Taylor was employed on naval camouflage. He also executed commissions for London Transport, including ‘Back Room Boys’, where the underlying concept and use of central image with a surrounding border were probably taken from A S Hartrick’s series of lithographs on war work called Playing the Game, 1918, although ‘their finely balanced colouring and their superb draughtsmanship are peculiar to Taylor at his best’. Married to Florence R Sarg, with a son and a daughter, Taylor is also remembered for his decorating work, most notably for ceilings for the former Underwriter’s Room at Lloyds of London, and murals for Austin Reed’s red laquer room in 1930. He was also the author of a number of publications.

47. Oxford Lithograph Fred Taylor Printed by Jordison & Co. Ltd. c.1950 Image 920 x 1160 mm framed The story of railways in Britain is reflected in the development of the railway poster. This commercial art form illustrates the major changes that have occurred in British society over the years and captures the spirit and character of British life.

They are social documents of British culture, illustrating the changing styles of art, patterns of holidaymaking, urban and rural landscapes, architecture and fashion. They also reflect the development of railway companies and their design and advertising standards. It is hardly surprising that the “Golden Age” of British railway posters coincided with the quartercentury following the amalgamation in 1923 of almost all of the numerous small independent companies into what came to be known as the “Big Four” railways: the Great Western (GWR); the London, Midland, and Scottish (LMS); the London and North East (LNER); and the Southern (SR). The end of the Great War saw Britain with a public eager to travel - and possessing a well-developed taste for the poster as a medium of advertising. In the latter case the war itself provided continuity for initiatives that began in peacetime, for the recruiting and saving and funding campaigns needed to vanquish the Hun were waged largely on the hoardings. Nor is it surprising that the main visual thrust of the railway poster campaigns during these years was directed towards the anticipated delights of journey’s end, and copies of posters were routinely offered to - and eagerly purchased by - the public, some of whom might indeed have to settle more often for an idyllic image of Britain’s coasts or mountains in their rooms than for the real thing.

Fred Taylor was born in London on March 22 1875, the son of William Taylor. Taylor studied briefly at Goldsmith’s College, London, where he won a gold medal for his posters, and a travelling scholarship to study in Italy. At some point working in the Waring and Gillow Studio, Taylor was a poster artist, illustrator, decorator and a watercolourist. Particularly noted as a poster artist from 1908 to the 1940s, and was regularly commissioned by the LNER, EMB and shipping companies.

Taylor also exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, and other provincial societies. Taylor’s designs frequently referred

53. Oxford Chromolithograph J.P. Sayer Published by the Railway Executive (Western Region) P.W. 49, Printed in Great Britain by Chromoworks Limited London, c.

1933.

Image 982 x 1230 mm framed J.P Sayer’s work emerged from a growing trend of railway poster design in the Thirties which sought to incorporate historical information into the image. One such example can be found in Sayer’s poster of Leamington Spa, in which trivia and local attractions sprout from the foliage of the Midland Oak; a one thousand year old tree believed to have been planted in the centre of England. Sayer’s pictographic map of Oxford was probably the artist’s most celebrated demonstration of the medium. The map focuses on the collegiate area of the city and includes crests, as well as small vignettes of the colleges and landmarks. The most entertaining aspect of this work is arguably the comic figures which elucidate various historical and contemporary references.

Eccentric in their nature, and brightly coloured, some of Britain’s most infamous figures are shown interacting with students. A headless Charles I spooks a passing cyclist. Dr. Johnson drinks tea, whilst Erasmus has his nose in a book. Lewis Caroll introduces his character of Alice to William Gladstone, and Christopher Wren displays his designs for the Sheldonian theatre. Even the Devil features, as he carries away Edward Trafford, the leader of the Hell Fire Club; an occult group established at Brasenose College.

J.P Sayer (fl. 1820 - 1835) was an English artist and graphic designer. He provided the illustrations for the Motorist’s Rhyme Book; a booklet produced by British Petroleum, which contorted popular nursery rhymes in order to sell its products. Sayer is best remembered for the posters that he designed for the Great Western Railway Company, and the uniquely pictographic style of his that emerged from these commissions. Works of Sayer’s include posters of Oxford, Leamington Spa, Somerset. Cornwall and the Cambrian Coast.

Contains inscriptions concerning the history of Oxford, and a large cartouche of the British Railways in the bottom right hand corner.

64. The Place of St. Isaac Etching and aquatint Joseph Constantine Stadler & F. A. Hubert after Robert Ker Porter c.1809 Image 174 x 235 mm, Sheet 210 x 289 mm

Basilius Besler (1561 – 1629) was a respected Nuremberg apothecary and botanist, best known for his monumental Hortus Eystettensis. He was curator of the garden of Johann Konrad von Gemmingen, prince bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria.

The bishop commissioned Besler to compile a codex of the plants growing in his garden, a task which Besler took sixteen years to complete, Johann Konrad dying shortly before the work was published.

Where as previous botanical art had placed an emphasis only on medical or culinary herbs, often crudely executed, Besler’s Hortus Eystettensis depicted 1084 species including garden flowers, herbs and vegetables and exotic plants such as castor-oil and arum lilies. These were modern in concept and produced near life size in great detail.

The work generally reflected the four seasons, showing first the flowering and then the fruiting stages. “Winter” was sparsely represented with a mere 7 plates. “Spring” was a season of abundance with 134 plates illustrating 454 plants and “Summer” in full swing showed 505 plants on 184 plates.

“Autumn” closed off the work with 42 plates and 98 species.

First published in 1613, two versions were produced, cheap black and white for use as a reference book, and a luxury version without text, printed on quality paper and lavishly hand-coloured. The work was published twice more in Nuremberg in 1640 and 1713. The plates were eventually destroyed by the Royal Mint of Munich in 1817.

To the right, a horse has just been stripped, and is about to be given a draught of wine, and a jockey covertly takes money from a man. In the middle distance, behind rails, more spectators are visible. Four men stand in the judge’s box, including one blowing a trumpet.

On the left is a high phaeton carriage with a lady seated next to the driver. On the right a fat woman with a basket of pies falls over, and a boy throws himself on the ground to grab the pies. In the distance are many spectators, some stationary, but many riding and driving along the course.

Image 170 x 103 mm, Sheet 208 x 125 mm framed A scarce map curiosity printed as the frontis to The Universal Magazine. Vol. IV.

Full title below image reads: The Explanation of the Frontispiece - Wisdom casting forthe the Rays of Learning and Knowledge over the Island of Great Britain & Ireland and Britania on her right hand with an Angel descending to her with a Crown of Laurel 97. Das Eider Buch Beschreibung Engellandts Und Scottlandts Woodblock with original colour Munster, Sebastian and H.Petri Basle, 1578 275 x 167 mm unmounted This unusual woodblock map of the British Isles was first included in the 1578 edition of Munster’s “Cosmography”, according to Shirley, probably by the printer Heinrich Petri.

It is based on Munster’s own map but with some important differences; there are fewer place names shown in the southern part of the country, north is oriented to the top of the page (Munster’s map oriented north to the left), and, perhaps most obviously, Scotland slants eastwards in a style reminiscent of Ptolemy - even though this is a supposedly “new” and “modern” map. Shirley suggests that this curious Scotland may not have been a reversion in geographical thinking, but instead the size of this page was just too small to include Scotland and the engraver found a practical solution. One or two minor wormholes, otherwise in good condition.
