well as i was trolling though the bay tonight i came across this series of books. seems like they are a small printing of only 300 copies of each book. :thumb: These books contain a wealth of information about vignettes, the engravers who created them and the artists who painted the original paintings that were the basis for the vignettes. by Roger Durand Interesting Notes About VIGNETTES Vol I, II, III
Very cool, thanks for posting. I just contacted the seller about getting multiples of this set for the engraving group. We'll see how it goes.
how much were they Urban? I doubt i will be able to get them anytime soon lol this last round killed my buying power for a while
Will do. THe books are about $28 each at this point and there are 4 (found an extra one on Allegory images). If he won't work on prices, I see that Denlys has some as well and will try there too.
Urban... good stuff... maybe you can provide an additional synopsis on your presentation when the time comes on these books?? It could be a very interesting set of data. What do ya say?? RickieB
sounds like a plan. i have to search through my notes to see what vignette i am going to use. i have a few i purchased a while back that are suppose to be prints from original ABNCo plates. i will see if i can find them and post multiple items when it comes my turn for a presentation. hopefully i will get these new books early next week
Negative on the bulk discount and 2 of the books are on backorder at this time from this particular seller. I have contacted Denleys and provided them with a link to the proper area. Hope fully we should hear something soon.
i guess i was in the right place at the right time. i will post more about the books once i receive them
Denlys just got back to me. This is what they had to say: "We have Allegorical Representations, Vingnettes 3, Portraits 1, 2 & 3, Territories and one that wansn't on the list....Architecture. We could sell you all 7 for $185. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks. Jennifer" Not sure how many sets are available yet. LMK if anyone else is interested. Hoping to do the order by next Friday.
