Georg Matthaüs Probst del. et sculp.
Georg Balthasar Probst excud. A.V. [Augsburg, c.1780.]
Coloured engraving. 320 x 410mm (12½ x 16"). Mounted.
A vue d'optique of the siege of Barcelona during the War of the Spanish Succession, based one of the set of six views of the siege by Jacques Rigaud for Belidor's 'La science des ingénieurs dans la conduite des travaux de fortification et d'architecture civile'. This plate shows soldiers entering the city through the three breaches made in the walls my miners. The image has been reversed for viewing through a zograscope, a device of lenses and mirrors designed to give a sense of depth, which transposed the image, resulting in the need for a title in reverse above the print.

Prospect of Hampton-Court.
[Etched by Bartholomew Rocque after Jacques Rigaud.]
[n.d., c.1738.]
Etching, extremely scarce. Sheet 355 x 560mm (14 x 22"). Trimmed to printed border at top, into image at sides and around title at bottom, mounted in album paper. Printers' crease.
A copy of Rigaud's 'Prospect of Hampton Court from the Garden Side', published 1736, etched by Bartholomew Rocque (d.1767), brother of mapmaker John Rocque. Bartholomew's main interest was gardening and he owned a farm in Waltham Green that is marked on his brother's map of London. In 1736 John had published an estate plan of Hampton Court: this was perhaps intended as a companion piece.
A comparison with a proof in the Royal Collection (RCIN 702881) suggests this example lacks c.10cm of image on the left and 1cm on the right.

His duchesse held court in a glittering salon at Sceaux in the first decades of the eighteenth century. The present château, rebuilt 1856-62 in a Louis XIII style, is now a museum. From a series of copies of prints of French royal palaces by Jacques Rigaud (1681 - 1754), in his 'Recueil choisi des plus belles vues des palais, châteaux et maisons royales de Paris et des environs'.

[Stowe Gardens] View from the Head of the Lake. Veüe prise sur le Bord, ou à la Têste du Lac.
Rigaud & Baron del. & sculp.
Publish'd by S. Bridgeman May 12. 1739.
Etching, 360 x 510mm (14¼ x 20"). Tatty extremities, with closed tears, one into upper left of plate. One rust spot to centre of image.
A pleasure cruise or ferryboat on the lake at Stowe House, Buckinghamshire, with three smaller rowing boats surrounding. A fountain in the background, the park with the house in the distance on the left shore. Stowe was begun by Sir Richard Temple in 1676, his family having risen from sheep farmers under Elizabeth I. Over the next century, Viscount Cobham and then Earl Temple (Cobham’s Grenville nephew) rebuilt it into the great classical show house and landscape which still amazes visitors today. Numerous famous architects worked at Stowe House and Gardens. Among them were Sir John Vanbrugh, William Kent, James Gibbs, Robert Adam, Thomas Pitt and Sir John Soane, making Stowe one of the most important houses and estates in the country. The house is now part of Stowe School, founded in 1923. Plate 12 to the series 'Stowe Gardens in Buckinghamshire' published by Sarah Bridgeman, wife of Charles Bridgeman who in 1733-34 commissioned Jacques Rigaud and Bernard Baron to engrave some views of Stowe. Numbered '12' lower right. The laid paper is watermarked.
