Hogarth, William (1697 London 1764). The Marriage Contract. Engraving by Ernst Ludwig Riepenhausen (1765 Göttingen 1840). (1807.) Inscribed: W. Hogarth inv. pinx. 1745. / E. Riepenhausen del. sc. 22.6 x 28 cm.

Marriage a-la-Mode I. – Riepenhausen’s reproduction of this immortal sujet – painted in 1745 – not least esteemed for its side-correctness in a fine early impression. – The wide lower margin with the series title trimmed to the platemark. – The opening scene of this

“ most  beautiful  painted  satire  of  the  century ”

(Dobson in Thieme-Becker). The documents are sealed , the agreements lie open on the table :

On the one side the alderman paying in the common daughter equipped with richest dowry, opposite to him the palsied and bankrupt old count delivering the son descending from William the Conqueror. In view of all the financial benefits just received he self-assuredly shows his family tree. And as the formalities are settled the count’s lawyer can examine the construction of the new palace at his leisure from the window, while even at this moment the smooth young procurator of the financial party preferring more trivial interests is not willing to refrain from whispering sweet words into the ears of his client’s daughter. What will have results.

Ridinger, Johann Elias (Ulm 1698 – Augsburg 1767). (The Night.) / NOX. At the half opened yardgate the little violinist accompanied by an old man with instrument or knapsack slung over his back. A young woman dreamily listening to the serenade at her window while two children are attentive followers. On the right small view of the partially cloud-covered moon above trees. Mezzotint. Inscribed: Ioh. El. Ridinger inv. et excud. Aug. Vind., otherwise as before. 41.5 x 56 cm.

Thienemann + Schwarz 1200. – Not in Weigel, Coppenrath + Helbing. – Watermark H G L. – Final leaf of the first set of the four times of day in genre scenes. – With quatrain in German-Latin parallel text.

As all mezzotints by Ridinger extremely rare. The complete set is provable only in the collection of Counts Faber-Castell dissolved in 1958. Leaf 1 alone figured in 1912 with the attribute “Very rare” in the 2468-lot sale of a “Large print collection mostly from the possession of an old Leipsic book shop”, then in 1980 once here. Of the other leaves of the suite – thus the one here, too – nothing of that sort is known. According to Thienemann the plates did not exist anymore in 1856. Who otherwise noted generally in regard of the rareness of the mezzotints:

“ The mezzotints are almost not available on the market anymore. By the way all mezzotints worked by and after Joh. El. Ridinger are that rare that they are to be found almost only in some of the magnificent public print rooms. I met most of the described ones only in the famous Cabinet in Dresden …”

With surrounding paper margin of 10-13 mm. On the right a 4,5 cm long trace of scraping carefully retouched, a missing spot of about the size of a pinhead in the brickwork below the window blackened. The completely smoothened centre-fold doubled with thin paper. Otherwise of beautiful velvety blackness and fine contrast as always being especially remarkable with the mezzotints generally allowing only smallest editions of about “50 or 60 (sic!) clean copies, afterwards (the image) grinds itself off very soon as it does not go deep into the copper”, Sandrart 1675 ) and in the nightly scene here mediating the whole charm of the mild summer night. While the borrowing from  Ostade  imparts

a  quite  different  Ridinger  –  the  Ridinger  of  the  Netherlandish .

Ridinger, Johann Elias (Ulm 1698 – Augsburg 1767). This Young Tiger-Horse bred at

Orange=Polder ,

a village not far-off Delft in the province of Holland, had this black ear-bouquet like the other spots and has been bought as a rarity for a very high price by the Silesian manorial family count Promnitz during their

Dutch  voyage

in 1743. The stallion in wonderfully light exercise in a beauty hilly landscape with village standing separated from five horses partly romping and rolling and looking at the viewer. The side-inverted copper-printing-plate after the painting from nature by the amateur artist baron Christian Ludwig von Löwenstern in Darmstadt. Inscribed: Lib: Baro de Löwenstern ad viv: pinx. Darmst. / J. El. Ridinger sc. et excud. 1745, otherwise in German as above. 35 x 28.5 cm.

The  original  printing-plate

to sheet 38 (etching + engraving, Thienemann + Schwarz 280, “The six horses contained in this collection later had been sold also separately”) of the “Representation of the Wondrous Stags and Other Animals”

Here traced back far beyond Thieme-Becker (vol. XXVIII, 1933, p. 308) seamlessly directly to the master’s estate itself. And therewith correcting Thienemann (1856) who declared the plates of the Wondrous as being deprived. But so a collector’s object of quite especial preciousness. For original 18^th century printing-plates are,

as  well-known  to  related  literature , a  great  rarity ,

especially, too, those executed by Ridinger and his sons on a high technical and qualitative standard, that are preserved very partially only. Among these also the 12-plate “Paradise” set acquired by The Augsburg Art Collections and shown in their 2001 exposition of important acquisitions of the last decade.

That  the  one  here  the  master  has  worked  alone

should be mentioned expressly. Just as documented by inscription. – The original number “38” restored again on occasion of a later 19^th century edition after it had been removed for a separate set in the mid-twenties.

Sheltered from environmental influences by varnish the plate is printable generally in the ordinary course of its use during the times. But it is offered and sold as a work of art and an object of collecting. Thus without prejudice to its final printing quality. – See the complete description.

Decree by Heinrich Julius Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg (1564-1613, accession to the throne 1589) concerning the procedure of wedding celebrations. Given Gröningen near Halberstadt December 28, 1604. No place + printer, c. 1604. 1 page. With large woodcut initial. 50.8 x 37.7 cm.

enacted on occasion of a marriage celebration turned rowdy seen with full ducal rage

“with  Our  own  eyes ”

at the ducal New Inn (in Gröningen?). The description of that followed by a regulation of 9 chapters not just describing

and what staff is needed for this. And for anyone the highest wage is fixed. Up to 2 Margroschen per bushel of wheat and one per bushel of rye for the miller and his hands for “the pains taken for milling the wedding rye and wheat”.

And for the observance of all this against anybody finally inspectors and commissioners are urged and enjoined to have

That determination for using up these broadsheets owe their extraordinary rarity and the fact now, according to the ownership, grieving, now highly satisfying the collector that “they … are preserved almost only

in  few  copies

and by chance” (Bohatta). Whereby these were usually – so here, too –not used up on the bulletin boards, but are very well preserved voucher copies. The one here with two folds and remaining fold strip as sign of its preservation within an omnibus volume for which the lower margin, needless for at least 3.5 cm, had been trimmed under supposed loss of the printed signature with the printed L(oco) S(igilli) stamp. Followed by white margin of 2 cm. – The print itself on two sheets joined seamlessly and from the front practically invisibly, each with rich though not sufficiently identifiable watermark of about 13 x 9 cm whose ornaments show characteristics of marks locally proven in the last quarter of the 16^th century. E. g. those of Briquet 1982 f. + 19539, 10541 and for a possible lion’s tail tuft elsewhere (Vosges Mountains, Brussels, Wurttemberg) 10565/67 + 10569. – Uniformly slightly toned, weak little brown spot in the first paragraph, small tear in the white upper margin of the fold backed acid-freely.

Round  about  a  really  grand  and  unique  suspension

for which the framing-ready, acid-free decorative passepartout is included, too. And whose thematic rareness, it may be repeated, goes far beyond the general one of the broadsheet :

Since decades obliged to European statutes and proclamations as witnesses of the shaped everyday life, hundreds of these passed through here, but

for  the  first  time  now  a  marriage  decree !

That it is altogether  one  of  the  earliest  should augment your pride to own it by the i-dot highly contested by the connoisseurs.

Congratulations  beforehand !

Ruisdael, Jacob van (Haarlem 1629 – Amsterdam 1682). The Stag Hunt. Light woodlandscape with vast marsh through which the par force hunt goes. Animal and figure accessories by Adriaen van de Velde (1636 Amsterdam 1672). Etching in outline washed with sepia by Adrian Zingg (St. Gallen 1734 – Leipsic 1816). Sheet size 43.3 x 57.5 cm.

Nagler, Zingg, 4, II (of II) and, Ruysdael, XIV, p. 101; Slive, Jacob van Ruisdael, 1982, per 37 (ills.), erroneously as in reverse. – Comp. as compositionally near Ruisdael’s two woodlandscapes with marsh/pool Slive 36 with fig. 51 which in their turn quote Roelant Savery (1576-1639) (ibid. fig. 52; Savery catalogue Cologne/Utrecht, 1985/86, 120). Ruisdael as Savery stood sponsor to Ridinger’s Thienemann 282, but 171, too.

Ruisdael’s  infinitely  famous  Dresden  Hunt

counted by Wurzbach (1906/11) among the “most important and most beautiful (of his paintings) that exist” and recorded as the first of the twelve there. As he classifies him practically in unison with predecessors and successors, too, as

And especially in regard of the forest motifs he thinks of the environments of  Cleve  he might have rambled through.

Zingg’s Ruisdael reproduction here in literature the one which. The swamp enlarged compared with the original. With wonderful deepness of the picture

His prints are rare as he “was thrifty with the impressions as he wanted to secure the proceeds for his later years in case of being out of work or becoming weak. Only in 1804 … Tauchnitz induced him to publish his works. They (so then possibly the stag hunt, too) appeared in 4 numbers … before the letter, and … with these … For long he was considered as the greatest landscape draughtsman of newer time, and also his landscape studies were praised as model. In the course of the years he was surpassed by other artists though, and especially obscured by (William) Woollett (1735-1785)” (Nagler; the latter’s “La Chasse au Sanglier” of 1760 in a proof before the letter and with provenences Masterman Sykes, 1824, + Esdaile, 1840, sold here).

As the copies published in colours were often trimmed to the image border under loss of the inscription for getting as close to the original as possible so the one here, too. Notwithstanding of the recognizable agemarkedness all in all nevertheless still fine, worth viewing and framing.
