Label on the front board of the portfolio: Franz v. Pocci / Ivanhoe von Walter Scott.
Count Franz Pocci (1807-1876) was a German-Italian artist, poet, composer and lawyer, and a significant official in the Court of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. He is best known as the founding director of the Munich Marionette Theatre, shadow puppeteer and author of countless puppet plays and children's stories.
Extremely rare: only a few copies of this album appear to have been printed. These illustrations do not appear to have been published in a printed edition of Ivanhoe.
Formerly part of the Strähuber Collection (family property until 2014). The collection was formed by the Munich painter Alexander Strähuber (1814-1882) and then enlarged by his grandson Anton Strähuber (1877-1939), who was a passionate collector of drawings and prints.
