The Tapestry Hangings of the House of Lords, representing the several engagements between the English and Spanish fleets in the memorable year 1588 (plate VIII) , published 1739
Copper plate engraving on paper, with hand-coloring
15" x 24"
The folio-sized image of a naval conflict as the Spanish Armada traveled through the English Channel. The image was one of ten originally commissioned as a series of tapestries in 1591. John Pine published engraved reproductions of the tapestries in 1739, which had become iconic imagery in English culture by that time, hanging prominently in the House of Lords. The original tapestries were destroyed in a fire in 1834, leaving Pine's engravings all the more historically vital.
The glazed frame measures 24" x 32 1/2".
Condition
The original center fold has been nicely flattened. There are a few stray foxing spots scattered across the sheet. One vertical tear just left of center approximately 1 1/2" in length.

- 21 BAROQUE ENGRAVINGS OF ARMOR (CUSTODIS-FONTANA)David
21 BAROQUE ENGRAVINGS OF ARMOR (CUSTODIS-FONTANA)David Custodis (German, active early 17th century) after Giovanni Battista Fontana (Italian, 1524-1587), ca. early 17th century CE. Twenty one early Baroque engravings, broadsheets recognized as "the finest ancient illustrations of armor in existence" by David Custodis (active in the early 1600s), the son of Dominicus Custos (1560-1612) who was an engraver from Augsburg, Germany. These depictions first appeared in Jacob Schrenck von Notzing (1539-1614) Der Aller Durchleuchtigsten und Grossmachtigen Kayser... Koningen und Ertzhertzogen. Furststen warhafftige Bildnussen. und kurtze Beschreibungen Translated from Latin by Johann Engelbert Noyse von Campenhouten. Innsbruck: Daniel Baur, [1603]. Size: each image measures approximately 16.75" L x 11.25" W (42.5 cm x 28.6 cm); sheets measure ~ 18.5" L x 12.5" W (47 x 31.8 cm)
Each engraving features a full-length portrait of an emperor, king, noble, or general depicted in full armor, standing within an arched alcove that is framed by ornamental columns with iconography that specifically applies to the nobleman represented. At the bottom center, each cartouche is inscribed with the subject's name written in ink. On the verso is a full-page narration of the subject represented in Latin. This text is framed within an elaborate design surrounded by a woodcut border showing trophies of war.
The subjects depicted in this collection include Carolus Borbonius (plate 22), Philippus Landtgravius Hafsia (plate 25), Gulielmus Julia, Clivia, & Montium Dux (plate 26), Annas Momorancius (plate 28), Robertus Sanfeverinus (plate 32), Maximilianus Archidux Austria (plate 47), Nicolaus Radzivil (plate 49), Camillus Urfinus (plate 58), Aliprandus Madrutius Baro Brentoni e Avi (plate 60), Johannes Ranzovius (plate 66), Augustus Barbadicus Venetus (plate 67), Jacobus Superantius Venetus (plate 69), Cornelius Bentivolius (plate 70), Alcanius Corneus (plate 71), Lazarus Schuendius Baro a HohenLandsperg (plate 74), Johannes Ferenberger ab Avv. (plate 76), Johannes Zamoiski Magnus Cancellarius Polonia (plate 77), Henricus Ranzovius (plate 78), Fernandus Comes Nogarolius (plate 81), Udalricus Tertius Wirtenberga Dux, and Fridericus III Feltrius Urbini Dux.
David Custodis (active in early 1600s) was the son of Dominicus Custos (1560-1612). His father was the son of Pieter Balten as well as an engraver and draftsman from Antwerp who settled in Augsburg and became the second husband of Bartholomeus Killian's widow (1548-1588). Among Custos' claims to fame, he worked for the Emperor Rudolphe II in Prague. Hence, Custodis' familial roots go back to the Antwerp School where Mannerism blossomed.
Giovanni Battista Fontana was an Italian artist, a painter as well as an engraver, who studied masters such as Veronese and Titian. Born near Verona, he settled in Innsbruck in 1573. Court painter to Ferdinand II, Archduke of Austria, he created many frescoes for Hofkirche the Spheristerion (1573) and the Slberne Kapelle (1576), and a castle chamber (1578). In addition, he created the ceiling fresco with a theme of allegories for the zodiac, elements, and planets for the dining hall of Schloss Ambras.
A complete 1st edition of this manuscript sold at Christie's, New York for $10,000 (June 19, 2013, lot 693). According to the Christie's cataloguer, these impressive engraved plates depict "a remarkable collection of armor, belonging to military leaders, collected by the Archduke Ferdinand of Tyrol at Castle Ambrass near Innsbruck.
