This work is the admiration of the most fastidious connoisseurs. It is impossible to conceive the perfection which lithographic engraving has attained at Munich, without seeing this chef d'œuvre. The stones, from their uncommon size, being valuable, were cleaned off and used as the work proceeded; and as a very limited number were struck off, sets are already scarce. K 701 GALERIE DE MUNICH, par Piloty, Selb, and Flachenecher, 2 vols. imperial folio, containing 200 lithographic Engravings, after Old Masters of the Italian, Flemish, and other Schools, executed in a very superior manner, mostly in tints, elegantly bound in red morocco, with broad borders, 501 Munich, 1800-1831 702 Gallery, British, of Pictures, being a selection of the most admired productions of the Old Masters, contained in the Collections of the Nobility and Gentry of Great Britain, with Descriptions by Tresham, Ottley and Tomkins, imperial folio, 20 beautiful engravings on India Paper, splendidly bound in green morocco, with broad borders and gilt edges, 41 4s Published at 251 48 in boards. 1808 703 GALLERY, BRITISH, OF PICTURES, THE PLATES MOST EXQUISITELY COLOURED, mounted on tinted card boards, with gold borders, atlas folio, handsomely bound in morocco, leather joints, broad gold borders, 501 1818 Decidedly the finest coloured volume yet produced in any country.

It is doubtful whether another copy is in this country. The plates were engraved at intervals about 1690-1710, by Lorenzini, Ver Cruys, Mogalli, and Picchianti, by order of the Grand Duke, and a few sets were collected and given in presents. I never saw any other. |
