Centsprent: Jeu de l’oie / Ganzenspel. No. 44.

Print of the Game of Goose (ganzenbord), one of the most popular games in Dutch history.

Centsprent: De Geschiedenis van den Zwitser Willem Tell, No. 21.

Popular print of the legend of Wilhelm (William) Tell. The hero from Switzerland (Zwitserland) became famous throughout Europe through the theatre play of the same name by Friedrich Schiller from 1804. However, for the current print, the publisher Hoffers did not directly copy the story from Schiller, but instead extensively cites three other sources: ‘De Geschiedenis van de Zwitser Willem Tell, beschreven door Arrenberg: Historiën en zonderlinge gevallen, Deel 3, bl. 25-29, en door F.L. Graaf, van Stolberg: Reis door Duitschland, Zwitserland, enz., Deel 1, blz 168 – 170
¶ , door Schröck, Kort begrip der Algemeene Geschiedenis, Deel 3, bl 521 - 522.’ Indeed, Hoffers borrowed different narrative elements from each of these three books, and combined them into one coherent story. When Tell did not bow before the hat on the pole that Habsburg bailiff Gessler erected, he was punished by having to shoot an apple off the head of his son. When Gessler asked Tell why he carried a second bolt, he replied that had he killed his son, he would have killed Gessler with that second bolt. Furiously, Gessler took him on a ship to the dungeons of his castle in Cusnach (Küssnacht), but Tell escaped, killed Gessler, and all ended well when Walter Fürst, Arnold von Melchtal and Werner Stauffacher vowed to continue fighting for Swiss freedom from Habsburg rule.The woodcuts were especially made for Hoffers by the block cutter Christiaan Jacob Schuyling. Signed ‘Schuyling.’ in bottom right illustration.Rotterdam, T. C. Hoffers (1820 - 1839); numbered ‘No 21’ in upper right corner. *Stolberg’s travels have been made available online by the Koninklijke Bibliotheek: http://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=dpo:1650:mpeg21:0575.l 8 woodcut illustrations (each ca. 105 x 70 mm) on paper, stencil coloured in yellow and orange; 2-line caption, and under each image text in letterpress; total: 340 x 400 mm; Pro Patria watermark, with countermark “A B”, probably for Albert Blekker, paper maker in the mill of De Kok (H.

Centsprent: De Haring-Visschery. no 57.

Catchpenny print with 12 images of activities around the herring harvest, such as the preparations and the tasks at sea. The captions read: ‘de touwbaander’ (a rope maker), ‘Het kalfaten en Optuigen der Haringbuizen’ (repairing and rigging Herring busses, the vessels used by Dutch and Flemish herring fishermen), ‘Het inwerpen der Netten’ (bringing the nets aboard), ’Het Afzenden der Haringnetten’ (taking away the nets), ‘Fictaliëren’ (provisioning), ‘Een buis gereed om te zeilen, leggende voor de Stad Enkhuizen (a buss ready to set sail off the coast of Enkhuizen), ‘Buizen Zeildag’ (ships setting sail), ‘komen op het Vischwater’ (ships reaching the fishing ground), ‘werpen de netten uit’ (throwing out of the nets), ‘de Haringvangst’ (herring harvest), ‘de buis komt binnen’ (ships returning), Het lossen en Verpakken der Haring (unloading and packaging the herring). The woodcuts are signed by J. Plugger, and were used in his book De haringvisscherij. Gouda, G.B. van Goor, 1848. The impressions in Plugger’s book are few millimetres higher at the top, compared to the impressions in the print. Noman probably bought the plates and cut off a small part at the top to better fit the images on one large sheet of paper.Plugger’s book follows the logical order of the activities, but Noman changed the order of illustrations. The rigging of the vessels was the fourth illustration in the book, but was moved forward in the print as the second illustration. This means that in Noman’s illustration do not follow the right order of events: the ships are already rigged (ill. 2), before the nets are restored (ill. 3) and brought to the ships (ill. 4). To keep the order of the images logical, Noman changed some of the captions. Illustration 3, the restoring of the nets in Plugger’s book, now bears a caption identifying the image as the bringing aboard of the nets. Noman also changed the setting. Whereas in Plugger’s book the ships are Flemish, Noman specifically mentions that the ships set sail from the city of Enkhuizen. Zaltbommel, J. Noman, or J.

Engraved landscape, Pierre Charles CANOT after Jean Baptiste Pillement, L' abreuvoir des ruines.

44x50cm, engraving, some age soiling that could be removed, good state, this evocative scene depicts a watering place for livestock against the romantic backdrop of classical ruins. In his painting Pillement has included goats, horses and peasants to evoke a pastoral idyll. Pillement (1728-1808) was a famous French landscape painter and designer whose fame derived largely from the engravings taken after his work. He was based in Paris but obtained imperial patronage throughout Europe including Marie Antoinette for whom he worked at le Petit Trianon in the 1780s before the fateful Revolution of 1789. Pierre Canot (1710-1777) was a French line engraver and etcher of topographical and sporting subjects after his contemporaries. He was born in Paris but moved to England in 1740 where he worked in London until his death in 1777. His talent as an engraver was much admired and he was elected to the Royal Academy in 1770.
