About This Item
Bassano del Grappa: Remondini, ca 1710. Fine. 1 leaf, 34 x 22 cm. Two images, each within palm-frond borders, and each underscored with six-line legends in verse. "In Bassano, per il Remondini" in lower center frame. Matted and protected by mylar guard. References: Alberto Milano, "Le Ventole," in Remondini: Un editore del settecento, pp. 202-203, #7;
From the house of Remondini in Bassano, a print that actually pairs two popular images: the "world upside down" and the "dance of death." From the cycle of the "world upside down," we see the donkey that drives a man who labors under the weight of two barrels. The "dance of death" image shows what may be a courtship scene, but the legend tells us that it shows a young man consulting an African fortune-teller while his true fortune--Death--stands at his shoulders. A relic.

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
