SUMMARY
Johannes Teyler (1648–1709?), a philosopher, mathematician and military engineer – not an artist or engraver – was granted a privilege for the States of Holland and West-Frisia for printing engravings and etchings in colour in 1688. His exact working manner is not described in the privilege, but from the production of the workshop that he financed can be seen that all prints were inked à la poupée in multiple bright colours. From 1695 Amsterdam print dealers also started publishing prints in Teyler's manner.
The so-called 'Teyler prints' are known to print historians and antiquarian print dealers, but any overview was missing until now. This New Hollstein volume (in four parts) compiles the first oeuvre catalogue. Parts I and II contain the production from the workshop of Johannes Teyler, now estimated at over 400 unique prints. Parts III and IV contain the production of Amsterdam publishers in Teyler's manner. All together they describe more than a thousand unique colour prints produced in Holland from 1685 to 1710.
