Tauromachie. Edited by Dr. Heinrich Pallmann. 43 heliogravure reproductions of De Goya's etchings. Oblong folio, vellum-backed boards; shelf-worn, generally clean and sound internally. Numbered 176 of 400 numbered copies. After “Caprichos” and “Los Desastres de la Guerra,” “Tauromachia” was the third and last major etching cycle completed during the artist’s lifetime. The "Tauromachia", initially intended as an illustration of a story of bullfighting by Don Nicolás Fernández, was later expanded by Goya, breaking away from the literary original and publishing a series of 33 sheets in 1816. "In addition to the sheets numbered by Goya himself, 10 new ones are added to our edition. The Parisian engraver and dealer Loicelet had already published 7 of them in the third edition, while the remaining three sheets were published by the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid and Dr. Hofmann in earlier prints. For the first time, all of Goya's etchings depicting bullfights are brought together in one edition" (Afterword) |
