About This Item
Augsburg, 1743. 8vo. 58 full-page engravings (size c. 10 x 16 cm), numbered 1 - 58 (including title). (complete). Each plate pasted down on a leaf of a nineteenth century cloth album. (cloth a bit faded).
The engravings are by Tobias Lobeck after the drawings by Gottfried-Bernhard Götz. Each engraving is accompanied by a Latin prayer to the Virgin Mary. They refer to the Loreto Litany, a Marian litany that was approved in 1587 by Pope Sixtus V.
Gottfried Bernhard Göz (also Goez, Goetz or Götz 1708- 1774) was a German Rococo painter and engraver. In 1737 he founded a joint engraving publishing company in Augsburg with the Klauber brothers. Between 1737 and 1742 they worked together to produce more than 360 graphic sheets. Then they each went their own way. The Klauber company became the European center for Catholic icon publishing through new representative engraving series, leading it to new paths in the Rococo.
Göz founded his own publishing and engraving business, inventing a typographical device that enabled him to provide coloured copper engravings with painting-like shades. Tobias Lobeck worked as an engraver in Augsburg from 1730 to 1753. These prints show how he mastered light & shade, composition and religious symbolism. [OCLC mentions 3 libraries that hold this: Madrid, Antwerpen & München].
