Taken
from an old omnibus volume
of a nobleman
22 of the 46 sheet & 2-sheet supplement of the
Special Events
and Incidents at the Hunt
as the
“ Rarest of all Ridinger Sets ”
in etching with engraving by Martin Elias Ridinger (1731 Augsburg 1780) after predominantly his father’s design. (1779.) Inscribed with the Roman numbers ( “If they miss, so this points to later impressions”, Th.) & subtext of mostly several lines, otherwise as below. On an average c. 33-35 x 25-26 cm upright and a few oblong formats.
Literature for complete copies: Thienemann & Schwarz (plates vol. I, XIV & XV) 343-390; Weigel, Art Stock Catalog XXVIII, Ridinger supplement 21 A (possibly Th.’s source); Schwerdt III (1928), 140 ( “The rarest set of Ridinger’s sporting line engravings … From the Baillie-Grohman collection … [Th. 389/90] Bound with the set … to which it is the supplement” ).
The above three/four copies aside
not provable here as complete in collection catalogs
the rarity of the suite was inevitable :
Posthumously transferred into the copper by the eldest
and finished 1779 , Martin Elias died already one year later ,
followed only four years later by the younger brother , Johann Jacob .
And already on occasion of the comprehensive 1824/25 new editions by the meanwhile Engelbrecht-Herzberg joint venture only 14 and 16 (Th. 389/90) resp. engravings of present set could be offered for subscription anymore. For then again further new edition from about the mid-1850s 19 and 21 of the plates resp. were available. Seven of the same finally came into the possession here, of which presently three are still available (to Th. 356 & 363/64).
After the passing through here more recently of the 45-sheet – the missing 46th could be supplied subsequently meanwhile – supposedly second copy of Baron von Gutmann’s (Schwarz) as part of his Marjoribanks Folios and the 36-sheet stock of the collection Von Behr of the House of Stellichte present block of a further old nobleman’s estate enables niemeyer’s now for the third time to serve a remarkably compact group.
With copies of conceivably fine , wide-margined old impressions of mostly warm tonedness on strong, mostly sturdy laid paper – correspondingly deviating somewhat lighter sheet XVII – of unifom paper format of c. 46.7 x 33 cm with partly still both the tiny stitching holes in the upper margin. – Mostly typographic watermarks.
In such a manner quite presentable, here then the meager result of torsi research here :
Late 18th cent.: Pembroke Folios = 2 sheet. – 1885: Silesian Ridinger collection at Boerner XXXIX = 34 sheet, 14 of which “new impressions”, & suppl. 389/90 in varied preservation. – 1889/90: Coppenrath Collection = 33 sheet & suppl. Th. 389/90, “mostly with wide margins”. – 1894: Reich auf Biehla = 39 sheet, one of which “Newer impression” & suppl. Th. 389/90. – 1895: Georg Hamminger = 44 sheet &suppl. Th. 389/90 (“Excellent and very fine impressions [but only] mostly with wide margin , some sheets with text only and mounted”). – 1900: Cat. Helbing XXXIV, (Works by Joh. El. & M. El. Ridinger) = 43 sheet of varied preservation & suppl. Th. 389/90. – 1928: Cat. Halle 68, Plate Works des XVIIth & XVIIIth Centuries. = 28 sheet, of which only “12 with full margins and fine”. – 1958: Counts Faber-Castell = 3 sheet.
Yet how varied their number & preservation, so much in unison the general rating as
“ Rare – Very Rare – Extremely Rare ”.
“ The plates are very different in form, size and content , but set up almost throughout
that always two by two
harmonize with each other and form pendants ,
as they have been sold in pairs then , too ” (Thienemann).

“ Here a Couple of the Beautiful Axis Deer … ”
Th. 372 / XXIX. – On this sheet are presented a couple illustrations Asian stags, which are strange to look at for Their regular kind of spots, Their basic color is reddish brown across the back furnished with a dark stripe, their antlers blackish also with increased age yellowish, very sturdy and also have 8 to 10 points, not as big as the fallow deer of our parts are, They have, however, many things in common with these and our wild stags, also propagate their kind in Europe, therefore they are also kept by grandseigneurs in pleasure gardens, for difference and according to the country’s habits one uses to call the stag the Axis buck and ditto deer, have drawn such from life in 1774 – M. E. Ridinger, sc. A.V.
“Here a couple of the beautiful axis deer … tamed in a park … Ridinger, the father, would have represented them differently” (Th.). Yet Helbing – XXXIV, 888: EXTREMELY RARE (1900) – graded it among his 43
with 50 German gold mark and by this
with great distance to the gross of the others .
Rare representation . – Martin Elias could have seen the couple all the more in a park in Hohenlohe as Georg Adam Eger, already related to him from the latter’s time at Darmstadt, was active there himself later on (see above sheet IX/15,709). Stag & hind of the same are also found in Willem Frederick van Royen’s fine painting The Menagerie of Elector Frederick III of Brandenburg from 1697 at the hunting seat Grunewald, Berlin (ills. see Bol, Holländische Maler des 17.

Thienemann “ now proceeds to the description of two plates , which could be reckoned very well to the previous collection and would not be a disgrace to it. They are mentioned together in the records and also belong together”:
Th. 389/390 / Supplements I/II. – It is indeed nowhere peace in life The ducks bathe. The tom-cat comes along. The joy is disturbed. For this murderer’s claws Can’t be trusted not in water, not in the air. They fly off thusly. The old one pities me, With her young breed. It is not about herself. Yet where shall she go with her tender children. Which hinder her both in the pond, as in the flight. One sees from her face the mother’s frights. A man, who can portray passion in the game that way. Must have a high mind adorned with poetic talents And for helpmate, have Ridinger’s chisel (bold type/spacing not in the original). – Johan(n) El. Ridinger inv. et del. 1762. / Martin El. Ridinger sculps. 1770. Aug. Vind.
The wild duck (i. a. Northern Shoveler drake) is for a grandseigneur Not just for amusement. The fox also hunts for it with pleasure. How cunningly the thief lies on that boulder, As if he rests quite gently, and yet never turns his looks from the prey, if luck would not have it, That a duck might fly too close to him. Meanwhile it becomes noisy in the wet duck realm. The predator (recte two of them) is discovered on the bank of the pond. Immediately all take to the wings. This dives for fright, this flees, That Die jene schon die Lufft in voller Flucht durchzieht. The whole mire resounds from the loud flap of the wings. Noises in the reeds and hubub chatter. – Johan(n) El. Ridinger inv. et del. 1762. / Martin El. Ridinger sculps. 1770. Aug. Vind.
