Plate Two from Nouveavx Desseins D'Arquebvseries
Object type: engraving
Techniques: engraving
Culture: french
Location: france
Artist: de lacollombe
Artist role: engraver
Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1702 – 1736
Subjects: ornament

This print is a prime example of French designs for the decoration of firearms in the late rococo style, which set the fashion for luxury arms across Europe at the time. It was created by an enigmatic engraver known only as De Lacollombe and comes from a series of prints that was added to after his death and then published by his better-known pupil Gilles Demarteau (1722–1776) in about 1749. Individual motifs taken from them can be seen on guns made throughout the eighteenth century in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain.

Bookplate of Hildebrand von Brandenburg
Object type: print
Date: 1470 – 1480
Materials: ink, paper
Techniques: hand coloring, pen, woodcut
Location: germany
Artist: Anonymous

The earliest documented printed ex libris is this hand-colored woodcut arms of Hildebrand von Brandenburg. Hildebrand identified his entire personal library with this woodcut and a standardized inscription before giving it to the Carthusian monastery at Buxheim that he joined around 1480. 143 of his books have been identified, a large collection for a non-royal individual at the time. The inscription Libros historialem Pauli horosii likely refers to the fourth-century priest Paul Orosius’s Seven Books of History Against the Pagans, in which he argued that Christianity was not responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire and all subsequent calamities.

Artist dates: 1858 – 1956

Every element of this Worth jacket is of the highest quality, as expected of the preeminent house in the 1890s. Worth studied and often reinterpreted historical fashions as can be seen here in the back configuration, collar and overall decorations which evoke 17th-century menswear. Charles Frederick Worth was born in England and spent his young adulthood working for textile merchants in London while researching art history at museums. In 1845 he moved to Paris and worked as a salesman and a dressmaker before partnering with Otto Bobergh to open the dressmaking shop, Worth and Bobergh, in 1858. They were soon recognized by royalty and major success followed. In 1870 Worth became the sole proprietor of the business. At his shop, Worth fashioned completed creations which he then showed to clients on live models. Clients could then order their favorites according to their own specifications. This method is the origin of haute couture. Worth designed gowns which were works of art that implemented a perfect play of colors and textures created by meticulously chosen textiles and trims. The sheer volume of the textiles he employed on each dress is testimony to his respect and support of the textile industry. Worth's creative output maintained its standard and popularity throughout his life. The business continued under the direction of his sons, grandsons and great-grandsons through the first half of the twentieth century. Jean-Philippe Worth began as an assistant to his father, Charles Frederick Worth, in 1875. Gradually he was allowed to create his own designs and when his father died in 1895, he became the lead designer for the house. He was praised for making elaborate artistic gowns with intricate trimmings on unique textiles, much like his father had before him. Although the House of Worth was still favored by royalty and celebrities through the turn of the century, their styles were no longer the forefront of French fashion after 1900. Around 1910 Jean-Philippe limited his design work to important orders and hired his nephew, Jean-Charles Worth, as the new lead designer before leaving the company entirely after World War I.

Riter Fitzgerald—the art, music, and literary critic for the Philadelphia Evening Item—championed Thomas Eakins’s work and publicly defended the artist when his teaching methods proved controversial. Eakins’s portrait of the journalist is informed by Fitzgerald’s open-minded opinions, his appreciation of diverse art forms, and his commitment to intellectual life. Comfortably seated in his book-lined library, Fitzgerald is portrayed as a genteel man who enjoys a leisurely, yet contemplative lifestyle. With an open book in his lap, he thoughtfully gazes into the distance, peacefully lost in the realm of ideas.
