1900787731900. Fine. 1900 16.50 x 24.40 cm autre Album comprising 5 erotic gouaches glue paintings on silk. On the first page the title and signature of the painter as well as a red stamp. While the title can be translated as: A Source of Endless Interest or The Pleasure of Limitless Flavors the painter's name could not be translated. Each painting is signed with a stamp an extremely rare condition as these erotic productions were always anonymous for fear of censorship or possible reprisals. The rarest element being the manuscript title as well as the painter's name on the title page. This painter could therefore display his name in this pictorial genre while it was forbidden to produce such works. Book mounted accordion-style covered with blue brocaded silk composed of Chinese motifs. Mute beige title label sprinkled with gold. Paintings on ochre silk mounted on cardboard and bordered with beige silk. Superb condition and very fine freshness throughout both paintings and book. This type of representation is most often crude in a naive style using ink and watercolor. All the paintings here are in traditional glue which can be likened to the gouache technique and are remarkable for their finesse and elegance. One notices a beginning of three-dimensional representation of characters and drapery which is rarely the case in this type of production. The erotic scenes take place in richly furnished interiors. The whole follows the canons of Chinese erotic aesthetics thus one does not see the women's feet always shod and fitted with tiny feet. The date we give is of course approximate the collection possibly dating from the late 19th century or a few decades after 1900. unknown
1879140948304no place: no publisher 1879. Near Fine. An exquisitely compiled herbarium of over 1000 plants native to Europe collected over the course of one year meticulously chronicling the flora's growth throughout the seasons. Approximately 1051 specimens of all manner of flora mounted on 104 sheets further mounted onto leaves some with exact collection dates almost all specimens have been identified in their Latin name except the last 113. At the head of each leaf are sequential month and year. Bound in modern quarter tan calf over green cloth with five raised bands and green leather spine label lettered in gilt; fern patterned end papers. 11 x 17". Folio. Near Fine with only small ratio of loss to specimens 17 to be precise with some breakage to a few leaves and stems. Offsetting from specimens and some wear to edges. <p>A massive assemblage collected by an unidentified fervent botanist over the course of an entire year. The book begins in December 1878 with seasonally humble speedwells white dead nettles and catkins. Slowly but surely winter melts away in the collector's environment and tender spring ephemerals like snowdrops blood root and hellebore are presented with clear excitement. The specimens truly become vivacious in the warmer seasons between May and June where it seems pages are stacked almost artistically with perfectly preserved flag iris large stalks of horsetail bright examples of thistles and spindly tufts of wheat. It seems that toward the end perhaps exhausted after weeks of collecting in the summer heat specimens assembled in the colder months of October and November are more hastily affixed and without species name below. A particularly attractive herbarium that is well-preserved and lovingly assembled. [no publisher] unknown

1920844991920. Fine. 1920 24.50 x 380 cm autre 12 original paintings on silk in a scroll itself covered with silk. The Emakimono is a painted scroll with horizontal narrative. Scroll composed of a wooden rod around which the paintings are rolled. The external margins are made of printed green silk while the background on which the paintings are mounted is made of another lighter green silk fabric; the whole is mounted on paper. Occasional worming or light small stains on the silk. Each painting: 18x23.5cm. Very fine condition. The 12 paintings tell the story of a goddess who came from heaven wearing a feathered robe and who visits the world of humans. This famous legend is a myth in several Southeast Asian countries notably China and Japan. She becomes trapped in the human realm when her robe is hidden and eventually falls in love with a mortal man. In the paintings it is a poor fisherman. The presence of this fisherman evokes one of the oldest and most classic Japanese tales: the fisherman and the turtle. One notes the presence of Mount Fuji which opens and closes the tale. It is extremely rare for shunga to tell a story; they are always isolated scenes that may have a common background but never a narrative through images. In 12 panels the paintings tell of the meeting and departure of the goddess to her world when she finds her feathered robe again. Beyond this particular phenomenon the paintings belong to the end of shunga creations and it is the only period of this art that saw the birth of a new manner not only in representation but also in the distribution of roles in sexuality. The paintings no longer merely reproduce an already established style but create a new one for the needs of the story. One will notice in each sexual scene the presence of handkerchiefs intended for intimate cleansing before or after the act. unknown
