About This Item
( DE HOOGHE, ROMEYN). GOVERT BIDLOO.The Hague., Chez Arnout Leers., 1692. Folio. Original marbled calf binding. There are 16 single and double page engraved illustrations including the title page. Landwehr, R. de Hooghe, 80; Vinet 752, Hoefer 147, Landwehr, Splendid Ceremonies, 147. Ex Library.
The account of the arrival of King William III and the reception in the Hague gives the impression that the author's text closely followed the illustrations by de Hooghe. (Landwehr). All of the bibliographies concur that this work is one of the chefs d'oeuvre of de Hooghe. "One of his best books" (Hofer, Baroque Book illustration, 47) and is concurred by Didot, 951.
This book represents a height of festivities begun by the Italians at Mantua more than a century before in the triumphant new era which began with the abdication of James II in favor of William of Orange. After the Battle of the Boyne William traveled to Holland to seek the safety of an alliance against the French and this book celebrates that visit. The Dutch text was issued in 1691, a French text in 1692. In this French edition the plates were printed at the same time as the Dutch therefore they are first state. A very fine copy with beautiful impressions of all the plates in the original calf binding. One of the most beautiful Dutch baroque festival books, superbly illustrated with 15 plates by Romeyn de Hooghe, the great chronicler of his age. The frontispiece was commissioned for this reception.
Romeyn de Hooghe (Amsterdam 1645–1708 Haarlem) produced a world of art in many forms, including paintings, sculpture, medallic art, and temporary decorations for royal events. Above all, however, De Hooghe is known for his etchings, and he completed a staggering four thousand–plus plates in his lifetime. Active at a time when the small—but wealthy and powerful—Dutch Republic was engaged in a host of interactions, warlike and otherwise, with its European neighbors and far-flung colonial interests,
This edition, after the Dutch edition, has the introduction of Jean Tronchin de Breuil. There are unnoticeable water contractions on the verso of some of the illustrations not affecting the image. Could have been the expert removal of a collector's stamp.
