[MANUSCRIPT - SIGNATURES - THE NETHERLANDS].

Handteekeningen van I. Gecommiteerde Raden van de Staten van Holland... II. Vorsten, staatsmannen, krijgsbevelhebbers, geleerden enz. ...[The Netherlands, early 19th century]. Large 4to. With 162 signatures on 160 vellum or paper cuttings (mostly vellum, including 2 cuttings with 2 signatures each), mostly from the 17th century, some from the 18th century and a few from the early 19th century. Further with one large printed coat of arms (of the Wassenaer family) on the verso of the title page, an engraving (ca. 9.5 x 7 cm) showing the house of Jacob Cats on the verso of leaf 34, and with 19 printed coats of arms on the versos of several leaves (16 depicting a coat of arms with the name of the family below and 3 blank shields). The title-page, headings, and captions all in a very neat late-18th-century or early 19th-century cursive script, written in Dutch using brown ink. Splendid late 18th-century (ca. 1790) gold-tooled red morocco, sewn on 4 supports with a smooth spine, bound by the so-called Second Dissertation Bindery (Leiden ca. 1780-ca. 1794; Storm van Leeuwen IIA, pp. 350-358), with 4 closing loops on the front board (1 top edge, 2 fore-edge, 1 bottom edge) connecting to 4 closing knotted buttons on the back board. Both boards show 3 gold-tooled floral frames built up from 2 different rolls with small corner pieces in between, the inner frame with 4 larger floral corner pieces and a large lozenge shaped centrepiece built up from multiple impressions of 5 different floral and animal stamps. Further with a gold-tooled spine and board edges, gilt edges, and marbled endpapers.

[1], 40 ll.Remarkable collection of 162 signatures of mainly 17th-century (16th- to early 19th century) Dutch and international prominent people - from statesmen like Stadtholder Maurice of Orange, Count of Nassau etc. and Grand Pensionary of Holland Johan de Witt (1625-1672), royals like King Philip II of Spain (1527-1598) and William III of Orange, Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic and later King of England, Scotland, and Ireland (1650-1702), and government officials like "Griffier" to the States General François Fagel (1629-1746, the most important clerk of the Dutch Republic's government), to authors, poets, and scholars like P.C. Hooft (1581-1627) and Nicolaas Tulp (1593-1674). For each individual mentioned in the present work, their signature - on a separate vellum or paper cutting mounted on the recto of the leaf - appears next to a short biographical description. Some biographical descriptions are more extensive than others, but two names appear without any further information. The first is Caspar Clotterbooke (leaf 30), who is listed as a secretary for the council of the States of Holland in the 18th century (1778). He was born in The Hague in 1720, held several high positions in the councils of Haarlem and the States of Holland (as a representative of that city), and died childless in 1817. The second is Hendrik Nobel, who is listed in the second part among royals, statesmen, military commanders, scholars, and others. He lived from 1568 to 1649 and was appointed as "bewindvoerder" (administrator or governor) of the Rotterdam Chamber of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). In two cases one cutting contains two signatures - those of Johan van Hoorn and Abraham van Riebeek appear together, as well as those of Adriaan Valkenier and Johannes Thedens; all four were Governor General of the Dutch East Indies resp. from 1704-9, 1709-13, 1737-41 and 1741-43. In the case of William III, two signatures are included for one single individual - the first is his signature as Prince of Orange and the second is his signature as King of England, Scotland, and Ireland ("William R."). The work was bound by the so-called Second Dissertation Bindery in Leiden, which was active at the end of the 18th-century between ca. 1780-1794 (Storm van Leeuwen). The work was most likely produced as an album with blank leaves, to be used as a notebook or scrapbook album of some sort at a later date. The paper used in the album is clearly watermarked throughout, for example a lion within a crowned medallion (pro patria eiusque libertate) countermarked J. Honig & Zoonen. The firm Honig (or Honigh, Zaandam, the Netherlands) was active from the late 17th century until the late 19th century, but was known as J. Honig & Zoonen during the 18th century. The paper is most likely contemporary to the binding. While several of the cuttings containing signatures are also dated - as part of the signature itself or separately added - these dates represent the exact (or otherwise approximate) date the particular signature was produced. The majority of the signatures can be traced back to the 17th century, but were probably cut from official (hence the vellum) documents to be sold as collector's items around the beginning of the 19th century.The present work was part of the collection of A.M. van den Broek (1932-1995), an antiquarian book, print, and art collector from Haarlem. His collection mainly contained works focussed on Haarlem and its surroundings. The present work includes 7 signatures from prominent Haarlem representatives in the "Commons", the council of the States of Holland, during the 17th- and 18th centuries.The binding shows very slight signs of wear (two scratches on the front board, some rubbing along the spine and closing knotted buttons on the back board), the gutter of the first and second front flyleaves is slightly exposed (without affecting the integrity of the binding). Further with some minor offsetting on the blank versos of the leaves from the signature cuttings. Otherwise in very good condition. A remarkable collection of signatures from mainly 17th century prominent Dutch and international statesmen and other famous people.l Cf. for the binding: Storm van Leeuwen IIA, pp. 350-358.
