Riga 1829. Sprache: Deutsch Bestell-Nr: 120868 Bemerkungen: contemporary marbled boards with cover-lable on front. 8to. (16 x 10,5 cm) Manuscript with 72 (including 5 colored) original drawings of castles, ruins and places in Latvia, Livonia and Estonia, as well as some tombs of slavonic bishopfs and rulers. 6 of the drawings are signed by "A. Merkel", who most probably is Adolf Merkel, the son of Garlieb Helwig Merkel (1769-1850), who was a Baltic German writer, activist and an early Estophile and Lettophile. The manuscript bears the subdivision "Erste Abtheilung" (First Part), so probably more parts were planned, but due to the early death of Adolf Merkel in the year 1830 were never been finished. The drawings were mostly reproduced after older sources like the drawings by Augustin von Mayerberg, whose 17th century drawings were first published as engravings just two years before in 1827. Merkel stated the original date of the image on most of his drawings, so he mentioned the years 1661-1662 on the plates which were drawn after Mayerberg, but there are many other dates: 1634, 1775, 1788, 1790, 1792, 1793, 1794, 1797, 1799, 1800, 1805, 1817, 1820, 1821, 1826, 1827, 1829. The last 6 drawings are dated 1829 and are all signed by Merkel and are most probably drawn on-site. Most likely Adolf Merkel used the library of his father Garlieb for his sources and it also can be assumed, that not all drawings were reproduced after printed soures but after drawings and sketch-books of his father Garlieb Merkel as well. The plates are numbered 1-74, 2 plates were removed (both have shown the castle Kreutzburg (Krybarkas) nowadays Russia) - The manuscript includes drawings of the following castles and towns: Schloss Wenden (8 drawings with different datings), Kokenhusen (7 drawings), Schloss Segewold, Schloss Ronneburg, Schloss Freiden, Schloss Fellin (2 drawings), Schloss Doblen (2), Schloss Oberpalen, Schloss Marienhausen, Schloss Tolsburg, Schloss Borckholm, Schloss Smilten, Schloss Ringen, Schloss Tarwast, Burg Ermes (2), Schloss Karnus, Schlossturm zu Kida, Abtei Padis, Schloss Weissenstein, Schloss Warte zu Weissenstein, Schlosskirche zu Weissenstein, Schloss Wesenberg (2), Schloss Erla, Schloss Lemfal, Schloss Helmet, Reval, Schloss Pebalg, Schloss Ascheraden, Schloss Etz, Schloss Bauske (2), Trikaten (Trikata), Schloss Ludzen, Schloss Candau, Burg Lais, Schloss Burtnek (2), Schloss Neuhausen (2), Schloss Marienburg (2), Schloss Adsel, Schloss Tuckum, Schloss Lennewaden (2), Schloss Selburg, Schloss Ascheraden (2). -- condition: binding some rubbed, the last two leaves with browned spot at upper margin (also with little marginal loss to the last drawing-plate) -- A very rare pictorial latvian manuscript with very interesting origin.
