12 Masterpieces of Korean Arts with the Seal of the President of Korea.

A special copy, bearing the South Korean Presidential Seal, quite conceivably a unique one-off presentation copy from the Korean Government, of the photogravure portfolio, showcasing a select few of the exquisite Korean art works, which were jointly selected by a Korean-American committee and displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. exhibition "Masterpieces of Korean Arts" held from 15 December 1957 to 12 January 1958. Folio. Complete, with 12 full colour photogravures, each bordered with loosely placed captioned leaf, and contained in its own folding cardstock covers bearing the portfolio title to front and a detailed historical and physical description to interior. Folders open from left to right, suggesting that this work was printed in Korea. Text is in both Korean and English. Publisher's original cloth teal and gold patterned portfolio covers, with two intact bone clasps for secure closure, and gilt presidential seal to front. Photogravure leafs measure approximately 42,5 x 34 cm. Portfolio measures approximately 43 x 34,5 x 3,5 cm Mild age-toning and wear to boards with one cosmetic tear to cloth to interior of one flap, otherwise in very good and original condition, a most unusual variant of this beautiful work, and most likely a Presentation copy from the South Korean Government. The present item is quite rare in any state, but especially this one as it shows a gilt phoenix and flower (Rose of Sharon) emblem found on the presidential seal of South Korea. It is most likely a Presentation Copy from the Korean Government to America, as a memorial to their collaboration of hosting a superb exhibition of historic Korean Art. OCLC shows a few 'standard' editions in libraries. The status and authority of the President of South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea, is represented by a symbolic phoenix emblem. The virtues represented by the mythological bird are parallel to the values a king had to pursue in governing the people, and the design of phoenix was attached on the ceiling of the throne hall of Gyeongbokgung palace, which was the main palace during much of the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910). The design of the phoenix is still used today as the emblem that represents the office of the President of Korea. The exhibition "Masterpieces of Korean Art" was held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., from 15 December 1957 to 12 January 1958. A joint committee of Koreans and Americans selected 187 objects, with the aim of presenting a cross section of Korean art from 200 B.C. to about 1900.

Ni GengyeMareMagnum

Poster Calendar from a Chinese Artist Promoting the Qidong Tobacco Company.

Poster calendar titled "Girl at Airfield" and designed by artist Ni Gengye, for the Qidong Tobacco Company, to promote happiness in connection with their smoking products. From the collection of Agnes Tabah. Calendar measures approximately 103 x 38 cm. Ni Gengye is a Chinese artist whose work is highly sought after, and which fetches a premium when available on any market. He produced a notable number of works, many of them being calendar posters. He created advertisements for other tobacco companies including Hatamen Tobacco and the British American Tobacco (BAT). His date and place of birth are unknown, though some estimate his life span to be from approximately 1900-1965. Calendar posters were a particular genre of commercial imagery of the period. Typically, they were produced by tobacco, textile, soap, or perfume companies and were distributed across a wide geographical range. Almost invariably, they depict female figures in various guises, which were a key part of their appeal. Formally, the female figures are generally portrayed in an illusionistic manner, though chiaroscuro or shading is generally subdued. There is usually a frame, outside of which an image of the product and other necessary information are displayed. This 'calendar-poster' style had strong connotations of commercialism and was consciously avoided by designers of literary book and magazine covers. This stylistic differentiation probably served to mark literary works as a different type of commercial product. The format of the present poster-calendar was designed by Zhang Guangyu around 1931. It was mostly frequently tall and narrow, into which he introduced a large plaque for the calendar in the lower third of the space. This plaque itself was framed with ornamental designs and contrasted against a richly decorated background of various motifs. The tobacco vendor's cigarette packages were arranged on each side of, and sometimes below, the central plaque. This formula was frequently utilized, and spin-offs continued at BAT throughout the 1930s. It is thought that Ni Gengye's "Woman at an Airfield" is among the last uses of Zhang's formatting design. It is dated 1938 according to the reign characters Kangde, indicating that the poster was probably destined for advertisement in Manchuria, where the Japanese had set up the puppet state of Manchuko. The woman waves as if greeting an unseen person, having alighted from the airplane in the background, as she moves across the field toward the terminal. An alternate interpretation is also possible: the young woman might be departing, making her way across the tarmac, but turns to wave farewell to a friend, just prior to boarding the aircraft. If this is the case, Ni's picture is an ironic, unwitting, and poignant farewell to the era of advertisement calendars, for by 1938, the Japanese, entrenched in Shanghai, succeeded in pretty much cutting it off from the trade world and from the rest of China.

[GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT - ORIGINAL ARTWORK]. FISHER, Howard [Vaughn (Artist)].Biblio.com

Thoughts on the traffic problem; Will you be one of them; Subject to careful scrutiny; A pertinent question; The big drive is on! . . . Five large original political cartoon drawings recognizing the impact and importance of automobile travel and Good Roads in the West from 1938 through 1947.

193757594Portland OR: Howard Fisher The Oregon Journal ca. 1937-1947. Five original pen & ink cartoon drawings sized from 13.25 x 18.5 in. up to 14 x 19 in. executed on thick card stock w/ one embossed â€œGlarco No. 1â€ at outer fore-edge 1 w/ â€œStrathmoreâ€ blind stamp at upper corner all camera-ready for printer still retaining some pencil annotations & ruling at outer fore-edges of image four of the five signed at lower fore-edge one twice both with signature and the artistâ€™s iconic beaver in checkered pants minor dustsoiling light toning to fore-edges of a couple still NF exemplars. These five exceptional original political cartoon drawings reflect not only the impact of the automobile and importance of automobile travel in the World War II-era Pacific Northwest but also offer an intriguing quick snapshot of many issues we still confront as a society today. The first shows a uniformed policeman setting on a bedstead with looming anthropomorphic license plate trying to convince a resistant driver hiding under his covers to renew his license plates. License plates at the time were issued annually with necessary fees to pay for road maintenance policing and also ensured that automobiles were drivable with many municipalities requiring safety inspections. The next two both address the public safety issues of traffic accidents and the toll on pedestrians against the backdrop that at the time few municipalities or states actually required driverâ€™s training for licenses and in the late 1930â€™s and 1940â€™s accidents fluctuated from 75 to 125 fatalities per 100000 registered vehicles as opposed to less than 20 in the 2000â€™s. One shows driving tips and encouraging safer speeds while the other graphically includes a skeletal skull as a front grille at night hurtling towards a pedestrian in the rain. The fourth cartoon announces â€œOregonâ€™s tourist business will be lifted toward the $ 50000000 markâ€ and trees and fish all welcoming automobile travelers speeding towards the â€œGreat Oregon Outdoors.â€ By the early 1940â€™s tourism driven by automobiles was the third largest business in the state and would further expand following World War II and later construction of the Interstate Highway system. The final cartoon touts the move to build the Sullivan Gulch Expressway which would later become the Banfield Freeway named after T. harry Banfield and I-84 with development around the Lloyd Center and other apartment housing. The site was one of the largest â€œHoovervilleâ€ shantytown during the Great Depression housing at one time over 300 living in 130 shanties and only really finally closed during World War II. Fisher 1890-1962 attended college in Eastern Washington later studied art at the Portland Art Museum and by 1919 had begun working as cartoonist with The Oregon Journal Newspaper where he would remain until retiring in 1956 publishing over 9300 editorial cartoons. His trademark was an impish beaver wearing one-suspender checkered trousers signed about two-thirds of his drawings with none usually dated but often dating with matter incidental to the events of the week. His topics ranged from the New Deal to Truman Eisenhower World War II War Atrocities local events and more. The University of Washington and University of Oregon both have portions of original Fisher political cartoons and caricatures.

[HEAVY EQUIPMENT -- MILITARY ARTWORK]. CALSON, Fred F [Frederick (Artist)].Biblio.com

Seven original gouache concept art paintings of jungle clearing by first bombing and then dropping by helicopter Caterpillar tracked equipment used as bulldozers ambulance rocket launcher and radio communications on the eve of the Vietnam War.

196062025Albany OR: Fred F. Calson ca. 1960. Seven original paintings. Oblong folio. 20 x 15 in. painted in muted gouache on Crescent Illustration Board No. 300 with original label indicating the board were purchased from the Duedall-Potts Stationers in downtown Albany OR and all are signed by the artist minor age toning & wear to fore-edges very slight scuffing still an excellent bright group. This series of military industrial concept art paintings appear to have been executed sometime around 1960 and most likely for articles in Popular Mechanics Mechanix Illustrated or military-specific periodicals focusing on weapons development. The first painting captures a jet close to the Lockheed F-104 but tale configuration different bombing a section of jungle with massive explosion in center of painting; 4-tracked dozer & trailer being lowered by Sikorsky dual-rotor helicopter into the debris; the caterpillar 4-tracked dozer then clearing the debris and finally being reloaded into dual-rotor heavy-lift helicopter. Other proposed military applications for the same four-track platform were an ambulance in battlefield conditions with one soldier carrying another to the open back door; four-tube rocket launcher featuring sharp angles and planes foreshadowing the ungainly Tesla Truck and finally portable communications with revolving antenna and operator in rear half of the four-track vehicle. Although the proposed innovations as depicted in the concept art do not specifically mention a manufacturer or company these appear to be quite similar in operation and construction as the famed Tucker Sno-Cat 4-track vehicles which were historically developed and built in the company factory based out of Medford Oregon and famously used by Sir Vivian Fuchs in crossing Antarctica overland in 1958. Calson 1927-2009 was a Detroit-born commercial artist who served in the U.S. Army during World War II then the Army Air Force and later studied at Art Center. He became a noted industrial illustrator and commercial artist as well as farmer and woodworker. He was also well-known for his set designs and backdrops for the Lebanon Theater Workshop in Albany Oregon. Fred F. Calson, unknown
