Friedrich Hartmann von Witzleben (1802-1873)
[Romantic Album Amicorum] [Berlin Court Portraits]
A small volume in-folio, Italian style, red half-maroquin, richly decorated with floral frames, gold, on the plates, purple moiré silk endpapers (period binding).
Dimensions: 14.6 x 18.5 cm.
Charming album containing about thirty small portraits, drawn in profile, made during visits to the royal court of Prussia, in 1833, 1834, 1835, 1837, 1838, 1839.
Handwritten annotations of Apollonie de la Rochelambert, in ink, on the first white guard: "From Berlin, city of my departure / album to my son / Marie Auguste Aimé de la Rochelambert / these portraits are drawn by sir / from Witzleben to Berlin."
Most of the portraits are identified, with a spelling and a handwriting which, however, did not make it possible for us to identify all the characters. Some portraits are dated and monogrammed FW.
