Ajouter au panierSoft cover. Lithograph with original hand color, 17 ¼" x 22 ½" sheet, 27 ½" x 33" framed. Excellent condition. In her pioneering study on the compositions of John Bachmann, Elen Deming (2000) emphasizes the intermediary position of his aesthetics between so-called pictorial views and aerial perspectives. By placing public landscapes in the foreground of his prints, Bachmann innovates this dual taxonomy, combining "the ideals of pastoralism and modernity in an urban American context." The visual juxtaposition of landscapes and city elements not only derives from the classical background of his European training, but also foreshadows the utopian urbanism of the late 19th century. Bachmann's "New York City Hall, Park and Environs" is a preeminent example of this pictorial strategy. Receding diagonals emphasize the landscaped space in front of City Hall while providing ample opportunities to depict the social activities (horses, carriages, flaneurs, etc.) on Broadway. The charming nonchalance with which city life is represented here owes to the popularity of Currier & Ives' commercial prints. As for the status of City Hall, it departs from the monumentality of the famous Hill engraving from the 1820s. Bachmann makes the Neo-Renaissance building integrate its surroundings seamlessly. This sense of urban idyll is also noted by Deak (1988) in her book on the visual history of the United States: "Along the broad thoroughfare moves a smart array of carriages, coaches, and fashionably-dressed pedestrians. The fountain playing in the imperfect triangle of City Hall Park had now permanently replaced the temporary one erected there during the Croton Water Celebration that took place there in 1842. Beyond the fountain is City Hall itself, admired by residents and visitors alike for its architectural splendor: a successful adaptation of French Renaissance and American colonial influences." Lit.

Ajouter au panierEtat : Very Good. Attractively framed and matted reprint of an iconic panoramic view of Manhattan and a good chunk of Brooklyn, with Queens and the Bronx, both showing little development, in the far off horizon. N.d., mid-19th century. (The exact year is surely possible to pinpoint with further research than we are willing to do given the price point involved in this map. Our educated guess is that this reprint was in Harper's Weeklly, given its dimensions and the thin pulp paper used.) The reprint is smaller than the original lithograph, and certainly some of the detail has become blurred or fuzzy, but it nonetheless remains rife with detail and exudes an antique charm contemporary, loosely-speaking, perhaps, with the original. The map margins show some light browning and soiling, as does the matting, but we wouldn't change a thing. The framing and matting befit the map, and as an unit this is ready to be proudly displayed on a wall. The frame is 38 by 48 cm, the visible portion of the map, including the rather narrow margins, 25.5 by 36.5 cm.

Ajouter au panierChromolithograph, by Bachmann. A fine copy of this bird's-eye view by Bachmann, 'one of the finest American artists and lithographers specializing in bird's-eye views' (Stephenson & McKee), recalling a pivotal moment in the Civil War. 'Bachmann did six views of the Confederate States like this one . They are very rare.' (Rumsey). The clouds of smoke over Fort Donelson show that this image is intended to recall a moment in time between February 11th and the 16th, 1862, when Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant besieged and secured the surrender of Fort Donelson. The 12,000-strong garrison's unconditional surrender was a major victory for the Union and a catastrophe for the South: Kentucky stayed in the Union, and Tennessee became vulnerable to a Northern advance along the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers. Grant, who received the nickname 'Unconditional Surrender', was also promoted to Major General, and came to be considered as an important figure in the western theater of the war. The area shown is bounded by Cape Girardeau and the Mississippi River in the Southwest, Evansville and the Ohio River in the Northwest, Cincinnati in the Northeast and centered on Memphis, Cairo, New Liberty, and Nashville. The map is oriented with east at the top, with the Mississippi River appearing in the foreground, and its major regional tributary Rivers flow toward the horizon.

Ajouter au panierSecond issue of this extremely rare bird's-eye view of southern Maryland, Washington and most of Virginia from the north. This is not to be confused with the more common redrafting of this view from the east which Bachmann produced as part of his seven section series, "Panorama of the Seat of War." Some soiling in right margin, one short tear in margin, archival reinforcement on back at right. Blind stamp from the publisher, A. Rumpf, in the bottom margin. Uncolored, with excellent topographic detail. This issue has 3 line tables of distances at the lower corners. This issue differs from an earlier printing by the addition of six place names (Baltimore, B&O Railroad, James River, Atlantic Ocean, Chesapeake Bay, Arlington Heights) and the correction of two misspellings (Annapolis Junction and Beltsville). Both issues were published in 1861, clearly around the time hostilities started, but do not show the locations of battles as the later panoramic series does.

Tinted lithograph (21 ¾ x 30 ¼ inches) showing Union Square and Lower Manhattan, including Governors Island, parts of Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the Narrows. Backed on board and trimmed along lower margin, missing the publisher's line. Likely the RARE THIRD STATE of Bachmann's print: "The first state has the same imprint except that the publisher's line reads: 'Published by John Bachmann, 5 Rector St. N. York.' The print is otherwise identical except for a fine line framing the rectangle. Impressions of the Williams & Stevens issue exist with the date in the copyright line changed to 1850" (STOKES; see also REPS #2651). Landmarks include Grace Church (erected 1846-1847), Castle Garden (present-day Castle Clinton National Monument), and Castle Williams on Governors Island. REPS: "No finer artist of city views worked in America than John Bachmann. Unfortunately, there is no artist about whom less is known, for information concerning his life seems to be nonexistent. His name and its first appearance on a city view in 1849 strongly suggest that he was German and one of the many artists who came from that country in the middle and late 1840s as a result of political disturbances in their homeland.".

Ajouter au panierTinted lithograph, 21 ¾" x 30 ¼" sheet. Drawn by the elusive John Bachmann - a preeminent figure in the history of American lithography - this early view of Union Square looking South has all the characteristics of his later prints: the elevated and imaginary viewpoint, diagonal composition, and a high level of detail in depicting New York landmarks such as the newly erected Grace Church. Yet the artist proposes an individualistic touch. The ships, for instance, are disproportionately tall and while the lines recede towards the battery and harbor of New York there is no doubt about the mannerist elements of Bachmann's compositional choices. It is indeed the bold foreshortening and perspectival play that make "New York" a true collector's item. As for the historical context of the depiction, Stokes (1918) describes Union Square and the urban growth of Lower Manhattan thus: "Union Square was created under the Commissioners' Plan of 1807, on which it appears as 'Union Place', and extended from 10th to 17th Street. (.) An application to the Legislature resulted in the passage of an act, on April 5, 1832, enlarging Union Place to its present size. The iron fence and other improvements were added in 1835 and 1836, and the fountain was constructed in 1842 at the time of the completion of the Croton Aqueduct. (.) In 1835 Washington Square and the surrounding streets formed the most fashionable residential quarters of the town. By 1849 this centre of fashion had moved still farther north, and Union Place had become a beautiful residential area. In 'New York Past, Present and Future' Belden describes Union Place as 'surrounded by splendid private mansions, some of which are of costly magnificence, and its vicinity is the most fashionable portion of the city.'"

Ajouter au panier"Handcolored broadsheet lithograph (34 x 25 in.; 86.4 x 63.5 cm). Floated on a linen mat, glazed, and framed. ONE OF THE EARLIEST BIRD'S EYE VIEWS OF NEW ORLEANS by the consummate artist and lithographer, John Bachmann. Bachmann emigrated from Europe in the late 1840s, producing his first city view of New York in 1849, followed by thirteen others of various cities-including New Orleans-between 1850 and 1851, which are considered by collectors and curators to be among his most accomplished. "No finer artist of city views worked in American than John Bachmann" (Reps). He portrayed cities "from imaginary viewpoints far above even the loftiest office building or church steeple [He] may not have been the first artist to apply in America this method, long used in Europe, of depicting cities, but his consistent use of the technique must have helped popularize it as a way of revealing the whole city in some detail, not merely the portion visible from the artist's easel" (Reps). When the Louisiana Purchase was finalized, Jefferson ordered a careful inventory to see what the country got for its twenty-seven million dollar purchase. "With New Orleans, the United States came into possession of an excellent port, an area of abundant resources, fourteen hundred houses, a population of ten thousand 'two very expensive brick stores,' a government house, stables and garden, a military hospital, a barracks, a large lot adjoining the king's stores, a prison, a town house, a market house, an assembly room a public school for the 'rudiments of the Spanish language,' a cathedral church unfinished,' a charitable hospital, and 'an ill-built customhouse'" (Deák). The inventory of 1851 as depicted by Bachmann includes the United States Marine Hospital built in the Spanish style. Seen across the horseshoe bend of the Mississippi are the Cabildo and the Cathedral of St. Louis at Jackson Square now complete with its tall spire. Paddle-wheel steamers-including the Natchez, America, Magnolia, Creole, and Belle-Key-and sailing ships crowd the river in the foreground and the perspective view of the city recedes toward distant Lake Pontchartrain.
