WEIGEL, Christoph (1654-1725)
Abbildung und Beschreibung derer sämtlichen Berg-Werks-Beamten und Bedienten nach ihrem gewöhnlichen Rang und Ordnung im behörigen Berg-Habit. – Abbildung und Beschreibung derer sämtlichen Schmeltz-Hütten-Beamten und Bedienten nach ihrem gewöhnlichen Rang und Ordnung im behörigen Hutten-Habit. Nuremberg: the author, 1721.
Deluxe copy, fully coloured and heightened in gold and mica, only the second complete, coloured copy in auction records (after the Bobins copy Christie’s 13 July 2023, lot 187). Depicting the costume, uniform and tools of mining and metal-working, often against a background of furnaces and machinery, Weigel provides an extensive insight into the technical life and activity of miners and mining. The two parts are often found together. Hoover suggests that the additional engraved frontispieces may be from an earlier, 1710 edition, but Colas calls for them here. In fact, the existence of an earlier edition is questionable. Brunet Supp. II, 941 cites an edition of c.1710, identical except for the absence of a date, but no copy seems to exist. Colas 13-14; Hoover 868-869; Lipperheide Pd 7 and Pd 8; Bobins V, 1522.

2 works in one volume, quarto (197 x 150mm). Titles printed in red and black, additional engraved titles, and 48 engraved plates, 24 in each work numbered 2-25, all coloured by a contemporary hand, of mining occupations, activities and costumes, most signed by C. Weigel (the 4-leaf preface that was published as part of the second work erroneously bound at the beginning of the first work, occasional faint spotting and some light browning and soiling). Contemporary sprinkled calf, remains of green silk ties, red sprinkled edges (sometime recased and furbished). Provenance: Graf Pötting (contemporary ink inscription on pastedown).
