(Pencz, George) Röttinger, Heinrich DIE HOLZSCHNITTE DES GEORG PENCZ.
Leipzig Karl W. Hiersemann 1914 4to. quarter cloth with paste paper-covered boards (viii), 46, (2) pages plus 24 leaves of plates in black and white
First edition. The German Renaissance painter and engraver, Georg Pencz (c.1500-1550) was active in Nuremberg and was probably part of Dürer's workshop. Pencz's style was heavily influenced by his two trips to Italy, the first coming early in his career. The fine, crisp style of his paintings in particular reflect his admiration of his peer's work south of the Alps. Pencz is remembered primarily for his small-scale copperplate engravings making him part of a group of artists dubbed the "Little Masters." This book, however, focuses on his woodcuts. Introductory chapters followed by a detailed listing of publications with his works. Heavily illustrated in text in addition to a section of plates at the back, which show a broad range of subject matter and scale. Works include portrait medallions, emblems, pastoral scenes, mythological and Biblical figures and scenes, arabesques, multiple sheet prints and a number of hand colored prints. Memorial bookplate on front pastedown indicates that this copy came from the H.P. Kraus reference library and stock. Cloth split along hinges.

Pinchart, Alexandre and Ch. de Brou LA PLUS ANCIENNE GRAVURE SUR CUIVRE FAITE DANS LES PAYS-BAS and LES GRANDES ARMOIRIES DU DUC CHARLES DE BOURGOGNE
2 volumes (Paris) n.p. n.d. (but circa 1876) 8vo. later cloth with embossed seal (entwined Ls in an oval, surmounted by a crown) 9 pages + one fold out leaf of plates in black and white; 20 pages
A pair of offprint articles, one responding to the other, from La Revue Universelle des Arts and the Bulletin des Commissions royales d'art et d'archéologie, bound separately. The Pinchart article seems to dismantle the criticism voiced by de Brou in his initial article challenging the authorship status of the Flemish Master ES of 1466 in as far as regards the large coats-of-arms of the duc de Bourgogne, preferring instead to side with earlier scholars Harzen and Alvin. The second article, in typical scholarly fashion, attacks its predecessor articles on the grounds of their conclusions and the linguistic formulations thereof, in order to underscore the greater clarity and convincingness of its arguments. As a pair, interesting for the individual desirous of learning about early copper engraving in the Low Countries, as well as about the dynamics of nineteenth-century French scholarly debate in print. Traces of original blue stiff paper wrapper visible along spine of the volume.
