[Tarbuck, J.?], artist. Album of watercolors depicting winged demons , watermarked 1819

Physical Description: "8vo notebook [15.5x9.5 cm] with 74 pen, ink and watercolour sketches on tipped in paper sheets [12.5x8.5 cm], watermarked 'J. Whatman 1819'; original limp red roan, tab detached." (Marlborough Rare Books description)

Scope and Contents: Illustrations occur in a few sequences suggesting a story or chain of events. One sequence consists of a man and boy interacting with winged devils with pointy horns: on opposite sides of a seesaw, holding them over a fire, riding donkeys together. Another sequence consists of scenes from a hunt: horses and a pack of dogs turn on one of the hunters, chasing him up a tree; he escapes on the back of a deer but is ultimately overtaken by his own dogs. Another sequence depicts a shipwreck with winged demons harassing the overboard survivors among the waves. Some repeated images include various characters bucked off of horses (and once a pig), carriage accidents, and defecating horses; windmills and kites; hybrid creatures including a half-man/half-horse and a half-man/half-dolphin; a man riding a broomstick amidst a swarm of bats and a cow jumping over the moon.

The bookseller proposes that these sequences could be the dreams and nightmares of a British boy named J. Tarbuck on the reasoning that the artist is the boy present in many of the illustrations, that is, that he is drawing himself. There is a stamped name on the endpapers that could be "J. Tarbuck," though it is rather smudged. See the Vertical File for full bookseller description.

At the end of the book is one page of doses for "children and people past the prime of life."

Harris, John, 1791-1873, artist, lithographer, copyist. Facsimile reproduction from a Book of Hours. , Undated -

Physical Description: Autograph document signed 2 p. 24 cm.

Scope and Content:

  1. Signed "F S by H jur"
  2. From a Book of Hours, probably printed in Paris for Simon Vostre; as in the facsimile, his Chartres use Hours of 1508? has 29 lines to the page, border decorations of the miracles of the Virgin, with Sibyls (plain background and Latin names) in the corners, and the same mouldings as are in the lower borders of the recto and verso of the facsimile, but unfortunately the captions to the border historiation are in French, not Latin. (See Fairfax Murray Catalogue of Early French Books, no. 259). The Sibyls cuts were used by Pigouchet as early as June 1497, but a comparison of the border historiation with the illustrations in Claudin rule out such an ascription.
