細節
SUHR, Christoffer (1771-1842) and Cornelius SUHR (1781-1857)
Sammlung verschiedener Spanischer National–Trachten und Uniformen der Division des Marquis de la Romana, 1807 und 1808 in Hamburg in Garnison. [Hamburg: c. 1808].
Rare, unusual suite of plates showing the uniform of Spanish troops from the Spanish Regiment of the Marquis de la Romana stationed at Hamburg during the Napoleonic Wars. The cheroot-loving soldiers are often observed at leisure moments, sometimes in the company of their wives, children and donkeys, making what seems a happy adaptation to their new surroundings. The Suhrs were natives of Hamburg. Christoffer Suhr, who taught at the royal academy in Berlin, also published Hamburgische Trachten gezeichnet und gestochen, a work portraying the costumes of the city, in 1808. RBH only records one other complete copy of this work at auction. Bobins II, 569; Colas 2833; Hiler p. 823; Lipperheide Ql 1.
Folio (363 x 228mm). Letterpress title and 18 aquatint plates, by Cornelius Suhr after Christian Suhr, all coloured by a contemporary hand, plates with small blindstamp in lower margin 'C. Suhr' (some faint finger-soiling, light creasemark affecting title and first few plates). Contemporary German marbled boards, covers with gilt fillet frame, gilt edges (extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: ownership signature cut away from front free endpaper.
