Add to basketCondition: Gut. auf Grund des Gewichtes nur als DHL-Paket (= 6 ¤) EU (= 12 ¤) andere Länder auf Anfrage! 319 Seiten, durchgehend mit teils ganzseitigen farbigen Fotos von Araldo de Luca, Goldpräge-Rücken und -Einband, Inhaltsverzeichnis, Liste der Fundstücke, Bildnachweis, Schutzumschlag (dieser mit leichten Läsuren), Howards Ca…rters wunderbare Entdeckung im Tal der Könige - das unversehrte Grab von Tutanchamun - ist einer der größten archäologischen Triumphe aller Zeiten. Wahrscheinlich handelt es sich bei der goldenen Totenmaske des Kindskönig auch um das berühmteste Meisterwerk der Antike, aber das Grab, dessen priesterliche Versiegelung Carter im Jahr 1922 durchbrach, barg noch viele andere, weniger bekannte Schätze, die hauptsächlich für das Leben des Königs im Jenseits geschaffen worden waren. Sämtliche Gegenstände, zu denen auch Amulette und Schmuck, Götterstatuen, Dienerfiguren, Waffen und Spiele, Nahrung, Kleidung, Öle, Mobel und Modellboote gehören, befinden sich heute im Museum von Kairo, aber nur ein Teil davon wird öffentlich ausgestellt. Der Fotograf Araldo De Luca jedoch erhielt einige Monate unbegrenzten Zugang zu all den Schätzen und seine Ausbeute von 400 Farbfotographien wurde zur Grundlage für dieses äußerst bemerkungswerte Buch. T.G.H. James, einer der besten Ägyptologen der Welt, schildert die Entdeckung des Grabes und liefert detaillierte Beschreibungen zu den abgebildeten Kunstwerken. In einem Einführungskapitel bringt er dem Leser die Zeit von Tutanchamuns Herrschaft nahe, die stark von den Auswirkungen des politischen und religösen Schismas unter Echnatons Regierung geprägt war. Ein Teil des Buches befaßt sich mit der obzessiven Suche nach Carnarvons und Carters nach dem Königsgrab und mit den historischen Hintergründen jener Zeit. James gelingt es auch, ein feinfühliges Porträt von Howard Carter zu zeichnen, einem Künstler, der schließlich zum Archäologen wurde und mit seiner felsenfesten Überzeugung, daß im Tal der Könige etwas Besonderes auf ihn wartete, auch seinen Gönner Lord Carnarvon mitriß. Dieses Buch zeigt ein Teil der Grabbeigaben mit detalillierten Beschreibungen und in hunderten von meisterhaften Fotographien, die verdeutlichen, daß auch die alltäglichen Objekte außergewöhnliche Beispiele für die Kreativität der altägyptischen Künstler sein können. Das Ergebnis ist ein Bildband, der sogar denjenigen in Erstaunen versetzen wird, der mit der Kunst des alten Ägypten vertraut ist, denn zum ersten Mal wird hier die Pracht und Herrlichkeit von Tutanchamun Schätzen in vollem Umfang dargestellt. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 2500 Groß-4° (groß-Quart), Leinenband.

Add to basketCondition: Very Good. First Edition. A magnificent souvenir of a Romantic era joust, basically a re-enactment of the Medieval combat sport in keeping with the resurgent interest in the Middle Ages at the time. This tournament was sponsored by Lord Eglinton at his Scottish castle in 1839. That this massive book took four years to… put together attests to its grandeur, as well as the ardor of Medievalism among the aristocratic elite. Elephantine Folio, 61 by 43 cm. Blank, title leaf, dedication leaf, six paginated pages, then 21 hand-colored plates, each with a tissue guard and a one or two page Description of the particular plate on a single leaf, until the last, or 21st numbered plate, which has a four page, or two leaf, Description, after which there are two unpaginated pages of "Concluding Remarks". The lettering of text on these pages is done mostly with blue type, with occasional red. The title and the plate leaves are of a card stock. The other leaves are of a more standard, but not light, paper weight, and the tissue guards are of a similar, minimally less, paper weight but a glossier stock. The plates capture, and probably improve upon, the spirit of the event, as they idealize the whole proceeding, with nary a misstep, all the costuming, just right, not a speck of dust or dirt to mar the beauty of the sport. However true these "reenactors' -- for that was what they were -- are faithful to the Medieval sport, our image of jousting tournaments is probably more influenced by the prettified imitation than the original, since books like this directly influenced Hollywood and the historic fiction genre more than the more esoteric surviving documents from the Middle Ages. The tournament reportedly drew an estimated 100,000 spectators, but it also was mocked and satirized in its day, especially by members of the Whig Party. Notwithstanding that, this pageant inspired others in its wake. In addition to the 21 numbered plates, the title page has a large hand-colored illustrated oval centerpiece (26 cm tall), surrounded by monotone decoration comprised of figures of men in armor and seraphs. All the descriptions begin with a decorated letter that is in itself an esquisite vignette. And not to be slighted, each of the color plates has, surrounding its primary richly colored illustration, a highly decorative frame that is populated with seraphs, human figures, foliate ornaments, escutcheons, weaponry, etc. etc. These frames, in contrast to the central illustration, are mostly black line drawings with a tinted background, but there are occasional bits of fuller color -- the coat-of-arms are generally rendered so -- and in a few of the frames, these full color pieces are quite numerous. Regarding the Dedication leaf, the dedication is to Archibald William Montgomerie, who was the Earl of Eglinton, as well as the holder of other titles, and was made by Edward Puckle. The gallery he headed at the time goes back to 1760 and remains to this day, now known simply as Colnaghi, with headquarters in Mayfair but branches in New York and other cities. Nixon (1802 - 1857) illustrated the novels of Sir Walter Scott, and not coincidentally, "Ivanhoe" apparently was the inspiration to stage this particular pageant. He is best known, though, as a designer of stained glass, and his work in this medium, done through a partnership of Ward and Nixon, can be seen most famously in Lincoln Cathedral. As to Eglinton himself, the tournament cost him dearly, as he depleted his coffers of almost everything to cover the massive losses incurred by the event. All edges gilt. Gilt lettering and decoration on cover bright. Two decorative bookplates mounted onto FEP. The book, besides being extra-large, is also extra-heavy -- 13 lbs. 8 ou. -- and thus expect a substantial amount of extra postage will be required to ship, especially internationally. Condition: Binding shows some wear, with bumped edge, a moderate level of spotting and other soiling, most pronounced on the pebbled cloth of front board, a.
