(Cover soiled and a bit dam., 1 tie fails, 1 partly present, traces of use/thumbing, but in good condition).
Charming drawing book made by a 12 year old apprentice in the gold and silver trade at Emden (Germany) containing drawings in red pencil (chalk?), black ink and black ink wash of emblems, rural scenes, portraits, allegorical figures, etc., probably all exercises to improve artistic skills. At the end of the book the drawings bear dates (as late as 1759) and signatures. Willem Abrahams Visser was a pupil "Lehrjunge" (mentioned as such in 'Goldschmiede Niedersachsens: Daten, Werke, Zeichen'. 1. Halbbd., p. 332) of the gold and silversmith Bernardus Hayens during the years 1755-1760 (which coincides with the dates occurring in this drawing book). Bernardus Hayens (??-??) became citizen of Emden in 1740 and was a member of the large community of Dutch immigrants residing there. In good condition but a later hand added pencil drawings in some of the blank parts throughout the manuscript.€ 800
