        Ver Huell, Q.M.R. (1787-1860). (Two gentlemen in a Mauritian landscape, Port Louis in the background). Drawing, watercolour and some gouache, 26,5x35,1 cm., w. "Q.M.R. Ver Huell ad. nat. del." on mount, black framing line, tipped onto mount. = Exquisite, detailed watercolour, probably made by Ver Huell after the sketches he made on his visit to Mauritius in 1819. One of these drawings, titled "Port Louis op het eiland Mauritius" (now in the possession of the Maritiem Museum, Rotterdam), shows a great resemblance to the one offered here. Ver Huell visited Mauritius on his way back to Holland from the East Indies. He highly favoured the novel Paul et Virginie by J.H. Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, and wanted to visit and make drawings of all the places where this novel took place. In his memoir Herinnering aan een reis naar Oost-Indië (1835) he describes the view that can be seen on this drawing: "De omstreken van de stad Port Louis zijn, alhoewel de natuur zoo rijk niet is, als op onze Oost-Indische eilanden, echter zeer romantisch en schilderachtig. In de valleijen is alles bevallig en frisch. Daarentegen zijn de bergen bar en rotsig, en geven een ernstig voorkomen aan het landschap. Bernardin de St. Pierre schildert, in zijne gevoelvolle geschiedenis van Paul et Virginie, een getrouw tafereel van dit eiland; en ik kon mij niet weêrhouden, van, in het gezelschap eener zeer beminnelijke kreole en van haren broeder, het plekje te bezoeken, waar de schrijver de hutten zijner ongelukkige gelieven geplaatst heeft. Buiten de stad gekomen, wandelden wij over het ruime vierkante Champ de Mars. Onder digt geboomte stegen wij den berg Pouce opwaarts, langs de oevers van een helder vlietend beekje. Een stelle barre rotswand verhief zich aan onze linkerhand; weelderige planten en bloemen groeiden om ons heen; de dalende zon verspreidde eene zachte schaduw. Weldra kwamen wij op de plaats, waar Bernardin de St. Pierre vooronderstelt, dat de teedere gelieven, kinderen der natuur, woonden. Wij gingen, met Paul et Virginie in de hand, op den terp zitten, waar de grijsaard hunnen levensloop en lotgevallen zoo treffend verhaalt, met de oogen gevestigd op het plekje, waar de vreedzame stille woningen stonden, aan de oevers van de beek, die langs ons heen over de rotsen kabbelde. Achter ons verhief zich de berg, links de barre rotswand, regts de Morne de Signaux, om ons heen bosschen met lianes in festoenen aan elkander gehecht, verder eenige buitenplaatsen, het Champ de Mars, de stad Port Louis, met de schepen in de haven, de weg naar het quartier des Pomplemousses, de Baie des Tombeaux en de uitgestrekte oceaan" (Q.M.R. Ver Huell, Herinnering aan een reis naar Oost-Indië. Ed. C.F. van Fraassen and P.J. Klapwijk (2008), p. 485f and plate 96). On the artist, see Bastin/ Brommer p.339; Haks/ Maris p.275f.

      • QUIRIJN MAURITS VER HUELL (1787-1860)
        Sep. 26, 2007

        QUIRIJN MAURITS VER HUELL (1787-1860)

        Est: £3,000 - £5,000

        QUIRIJN MAURITS VER HUELL (1787-1860) Gezigten in Oost-Indië. [Rotterdam: Arbon and Krap, 1824]. 2° (305 x 404mm). 4 lithographic plates, unnumbered, titled, captioned in Dutch and French, 3 with imprints: Java, Celebes (2) and Banda. In card window-mounts. Green cloth fold-down box. 8° (225 x 150mm). 8 leaves descriptive text, in Dutch and French for each plate, without title or imprint. Uncut, modern marbled wrappers. EXCEPTIONALLY RARE COMPLETE SUITE of the first lithographic views of Indonesia, printed in Brussels by J.B.A.M. Jobard from drawings by Ver Huell, naval officer in Indonesia 1816-1819 and one of the most important botanical draughtsmen of the 19th century. Ver Huell envisioned a more extensive work but it was never completed by Jobard in Brussels or the publishers in Rotterdam. Only these four plates were issued, originally with a lithographic title-page wrapper, not present here. Their rarity is attested to by the fact that only the Maritime Museum, Rotterdam, has a complete suite, the Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam, having but three of the plates. Although Jobard established the first lithographic workshop in the Netherlands, probably in association with Carl Senefelder, his business was short lived and closed in 1830. His plates for Gezigten were later re-issued with Ver Heull's expanded, 2 volume work on his travels, Herinneringen van een Reis naar de Oost-Indien, Haarlem, 1835-1836. Haks and Maris 275-276; Bastin and Brommer p.10, notes 148, 153, 161.
