Description from the seller
JACOB CATS, THE 18TH-CENTURY BOOK THAT GATHERS THE SECRETS OF LIFE
A posthumous work that accompanies the reader along the course of existence.
It reflects on man, on death, on educating children and on health.
The first and second editions were both published in 1769.
This exemplar belongs to the second edition and is complete with the figurative apparatus.
Frontispiece and 25 illustrations in the text preserve the ancient hand coloring.
ABSTRACT
The Nuttelyck Huys-boeck is a posthumous collection by Jacob Cats, conceived as a reflection on man and the different stages of life. The title announces the main themes: the human condition, death, the education of children, and what may be useful for living long and in good health. The journey is summarized in the formula “from the beginning, in the middle, to the end,” which gives the work the character of a meditation book and practical advice. This second edition from 1769 is complete with the engraved frontispiece hand-colored and the 25 illustrations in the text, also hand-colored.
WHY TO BUY
A posthumous collection by one of the most popular authors of Dutch literature, published more than a century after his death. The first and second editions both appeared in 1769; according to available description, they seem to be the only editions of the work. The exemplar combines literary and visual interest: the frontispiece and the 25 figures preserve an ancient manual coloring, while the leather binding with impressed frames on the boards gives it the appearance of a book intended for reading and domestic keeping. The completeness of the images is a distinctive element for those who collect illuminated books from the 18th century.
MARKET VALUE
Indicative market value: 500–600 euros. The assessment takes into account the 1769 publication, the completeness of the figurative apparatus, the hand coloring, and the leather binding.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION
Leather binding with frames impressed on the boards. The specimen is complete with frontispiece engraved and hand-colored and 25 illustrations in the text, all with ancient hand coloring. The binding shows signs of age. In old books with a centuries-long history, some imperfections may be present, not always noted in the description. This listing contains AI Visualizations. Refer to the original photographs to verify the object’s actual condition. The images are an integral part of the description. Pp. 321. Frontispiece engraved and hand-colored and 25 illustrations in the text, all with ancient hand coloring.
FULL TITLE AND AUTHOR
Nuttelyck Huys-boeck.
Te Leyden, by Hendrik van der Deyster, 1769.
Jacob Cats.
CONTEXT AND SIGNIFICANCE
The title describes the work as a “reflection on man” and indicates its broad path: from life and death to the education of children, up to advice for preserving health. The formula “from the beginning, in the middle, to the end” presents existence as a journey to be considered in its different ages and conditions. It is a coherent perspective with Cats’s fame, an author valued for writing capable of bringing moral reflection closer to daily life. The posthumous publication of the volume testifies to the persistence of his audience in the 18th century. The hand-colored figurative apparatus adds a decorative component and makes this exemplar particularly attractive for a collection of illustrated books.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF THE AUTHOR
Jacob Cats (1577–1660) was a Dutch poet, jurist and statesman. He was born in Brouwershaven and died in The Hague. His literary output, often oriented toward moral reflection and domestic life, enjoyed wide diffusion in the Netherlands. The author’s popularity was such that he earned the nickname “Vader Cats,” meaning “Father Cats.” The posthumous publication of the Nuttelyck Huys-boeck in 1769 shows how his works continued to be offered to readers long after his death.
PRINTING HISTORY AND CIRCULATION
The Nuttelyck Huys-boeck appeared posthumously in Leiden in 1769, at Hendrik van der Deyster. In the same year, the first and second editions were published; the present copy belongs to the second. The available bibliographic description indicates that these appear to be the only editions of the work. The volume gathers themes aimed at readers interested in conduct, family, and health, and it fits into the long eighteenth-century circulation of Cats’s production.

1. Edition and Rarity: Rarity is the name of the game. First editions, limited printings, and books flaunting unique features like eye-catching illustrations or mind-blowing bindings? Consider them the VIPs of the collector's world.
2. Condition & Dimension: Picture this – a book in mint condition, untouched by the woes of wear and tear. Now, flip the script: wear, foxing, discoloration – they're the villains here. And don't forget to size up the dimensions, because a book's size matters in the collector's universe.
3. Authenticity: In a world of replicas and forgeries, verifying a book's authenticity is your superhero move. Expert examination and authentication – your trusty sidekicks in this quest.
4. Provenance: Who owned it before you? If the book has hobnobbed with famous figures or danced through historical events, its value skyrockets. Every book has a story, but some have blockbuster tales.
5. Demand and Market Trends: Think of book values as the stock market of the literary world. Stay savvy on collector trends and market shifts to ride the waves of value.
6. Subject Matter: Some topics are like fine wine – they get better with time. Dive into subjects with a timeless appeal or ride the wave of emerging cultural and historical relevance.
7. Binding and Design: Beauty is more than skin deep. Intricate bindings, stunning covers, and illustrations – these are the accessories that make a book runway-ready in the collector's eyes.
8. Association Copies: Books with a personal touch – whether it's a connection to the author or a famous personality – elevate the historical vibes. A book with a backstory? Count us in.
9. Investment Potential: Passion is the engine, but some collectors eye future returns. Keep in mind, though, that the book market can be as unpredictable as a plot twist.
10. Expert Advice: New to the game? Don't play solo. Seek wisdom from the book gurus, hit up book fairs, and join collector communities. We at Luxury Books are the Yodas of the rare book galaxy, helping you build collections that scream sophistication and cultural clout.
