1840J37G5H5ISWE1Istanbul 1840. Mounted on a larger sheet of paper in a passe-partout. Watercolour drawing on wove paper 29.5 x 45 cm with highlights in shellac and a thin black border. A lively scene on the Tophane Quay in Istanbul with the background dominated by the dome and minaret of the 1580 Kilic Ali Pasha Mosque. The tip of a second minaret perhaps from a different mosque is visible in the distance. On the quay an opulently dressed black-bearded Ottoman a high official in the Emperor's court or a wealthy merchant stands in the centre of the scene with his entourage. He wears red robes trimmed with gold and with black decorations a white turban around a red fez and a gold waistband with the hilts of two guns sticking out and carries a walking stick in his left hand. His entourage includes a white-bearded Islamic holy man with a green turban around a red fez a Greek or Armenian man in a black hat a dark-skinned woman in green robes holding a bundle and several other men women and children. They appear to be preparing to depart in the boats that stand ready. Two more dark-skinned women in white robes with red and blue stripes follow the party deferentially. Several people appear in the boats in addition to their crews. Four more white-bearded Islamic holy men each again with a green turban around red fez sit in one with some women while two Ottoman infantrymen with bayonets stand in another one just stepping out. Other parts of the quay show various men busy with their trades or smoking long pipes. From the collection of Hooton Pagnell Hall in Yorkshire England. With a 1.5 cm tear in the water at the foot of the scene not approaching the boats and otherwise in very good condition.

This unusually well-preserved archive of a Roaring 20â€™s Jazz Orchestra musician and Band Leader in the Pacific Northwest reveals the exuberance and business success of this largely forgotten artist through his successful years before foundering during the Great Depression. Both scrapbooks open with clippings thank you and recommendation letters as well as dance broadsides and photographs during 1926 at the height of Lyle Lewisâ€™s orchestra appreciation. Testimonials include B.J. Saad who owned the Garden Dancing Palace and stated â€œI have taken the Garden which is second to no other ballroom west of Chicago. That is why I have secured Lyle Lewis recognized as one of the best orchestra leaders on the Coast.â€ C.W. Craig of Lipman Wolfe & Co. department store extolls that Jazz music dance held at the Multnomah Hotel March 16 1926 that â€œI donâ€™t think we have ever enjoyed better or more up to date dance music than that furnished by your splendid aggregation.â€ Broadsides and notices advertise the Lewis Jazz Orchestra playing the Grand Ball Room at the Masonic Temple Congress Hotel leading McElroyâ€™s Oregonians at the McElroyâ€™s Spanish Ballroom the Dessert Hotel Oasis near Spokane parties for Studebaker and more. One of the mounted letters includes a rather sad severance letter signed by Cole McElroy explaining the circumstances of Lyle Lewisâ€™s leaving stating â€œI realise that you were a victim of circumstances. On account of the fact that you had a fine band organized. . . certain music masters of the theatre jobs saw fit to take your men away from you thereby breaking up your fine band and forcing me to make a deal for another organization.â€ McElroy 1888-1947 was known as â€œPopâ€ McElroy was a popular band leader who during the years before World War I and after played the Palm Gardens often and had great success in his McElroy Spanish Ballroom which opened in 1926 and then opened another Seattle McElroy Ballroom in 1928. Several TLS on letterheads include those for KXL Radio station KGW Radio Station and the KOIN Studio Director for The Portland News which played three nights a week on air for over six months. The many photographs capture the Lyle Lewis band joking around with their instruments on the road fully arrayed on stage in the Radio Station posing at various venues stages and even one as late as 1939 conducting the Lyle E. Lewis Dance Orchestra. The band included Cluet Mansfield formerly with Henry Halsted band William Webber on drums Eddie Scroggins & Frank Champion as sax players G. Berardinelli on Bass and also played dances at the Irvington Club Multnomah Athletic Club and for a while with the historic Congress Hotel in Portland which had been the Cityâ€™s first reinforced concrete building erected during the Progressive Era and by 1924 expanded to 119 rooms with vibrant Jazz ballroom. The daily diaries for 1929 and 1930 show that Lewis regularly played at the Cotillion Hall now the Crystal Ballroom initially at $ 7.00 per night in 1929 and then steadily dropping to less than half by 1933. He writes about traveling for a gig in San Francisco with Mansfield in 1929 leaving Tuesday and arriving Wednesday Sept. 18 1929 driving 40 mph and getting 19 miles to the gallon with a drive made in 19 hours and 15 minutes. He played extensively at the Bungalow Club in Seaside OR which had opened originally June 19 1920 and for more than 25 years was the destination for the biggest names in the Big Band Jazz era including Lyle E. Lewis Cole McElroy Duke Ellington Bob Crosby Glenn Miller and tragically became connected with the death of Jimmie Lunceford who died from a heart attack just before playing his last set at the Bungalow after playing McElroyâ€™s Ballroom in Portland 2 nights before. Lewis 1890-1948 was a popular Portland Oregon based jazz band & orchestra leader who managed to lie about his age and enlist at 15 in the Oregon National Guard Co. G 3rd Battalion served for three years and in May 1910 married Genevieve Franklin while working as salesman and musician before World War I Following the War he quickly became a successful band leader including successful stints with the Cole McElroy Spanish Ballroom Congress Hotel Multnomah Hotel Bungalow Garden Ballroom as well as the Coronado Hotel in California. As indicated by the daily diaries he maintained a fairly close relationship with his daughter Genevieve â€œMarthaâ€ but became largely estranged from his wife Genevieve living in separate rooming houses or hotels. Still in her position as a sales manager she managed to convince Meier & Frank to hire him as their house band for store functions and the restaurant while during the Great Depression he mostly worked for the US Forest Service mapping division while his show business largely disappeared. By 1943 he became the commercial agent for ACME Fast Freight where he worked as commercial agent until his death. This cataloguer could find no surviving recorded discography record for Lyle E. Lewis and his assorted incarnations although there are a few recordings for the Cole McElroy Band from 1926-1928 which most likely would have included him as band leader and musician. Lyle E.

The Latin text of both letters is written in a neat uniform cursive hand in brown. Folio leaves 33 x 20.5 cm The transcripts bound in 18th Century stiff blue wrappers the blank paste-downs and endpapers are late 18th century most likely the third quarter between 1745/1753 and 1776 since they contain a clear "lion/vryheit/pro patria" watermark with a crowned GR countermark which resembles Heawood 3148 3149 and 3154. The paper used for the manuscript contains a faint double-headed eagle watermark and it has been reinforced in the gutters. A very pleasing survival very well preserved edges slightly mellowed the wrappers show some signs of wear. VERY RARE MANUSCRIPT TRANSCRIPTS. Chrysostomus Johann Gall 1586-1643 was a German Jesuit and scholar. He left Ingolstadt Germany to teach astronomy mathematics and navigation in Lisbon fro 1620to 1627 before leaving to work in the Jesuit missions in India. The Colégio de Santo Antŕo benefitted from the arrival of many foreign mathematicians and other scholars as Lisbon serves as a gateway for all missionaries departing for Asia. The original letter by Gall was written in Lisbon September 1623 and concerns a newspaper style description of various events including details of the perseution of Christians in Japan particularly the execution of large numbers of the Christian community in Nagasaki in 1622. The second letter in the present work is especially interesting as the original was written by Johannes Terentius also known as Johannes Schreck an Deng Yuhan Hanpo 1576-1630. Terentius was a prominent Jesuit scholar specialized in natural science and mathematics. Before joining the Jesuits as a novice1611 he already enjoyed a grea reputation in Germany as a scholar. In 1621 Terentius left for China to join the Jesuit mission. The original letter by Terentius was written in Hangzhou China on 30 August 1621 to the rector of teh Jesuit College in Munich Jakob Keller 1568-1631. He discusses his journey to China which he started in 1618 his intentions to participate in the planned calendar reform in China and his impressions of the city of Hangzhou which he reached in 1621 Terentius wrote several works on european medicine mathematics and technology in Chinese and together with Johann Adam Schall von Bell and G. Roho introduced European tigonometry and European astronomical instruments to China. In 1629 he began to reform the calendar which J.A. Schall von Bell ocmpleted after Terentius' early death a year later. Backer & Sommervogel VII col. 1929-F Manuscripts unknown

Rather astonishing actually.~~This is Ritson’s first book in which he attacks Thomas Warton’s History of English Poetry in such vitriolic tones -- Warton is a pretender a cheater and a liar -- as to cause quite a contretemps in late 18th century English literary circles. One assumes this actually pleased Ritson as he went on the next year to attack Samuel Johnson and George Steevens.

Large sheet 96 x 1m 44 cm. gouachevery clean work no worming or other condition issues painted on 16 joined sheets of Washi paper to make one large sheetfine water-color painting. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL PAINTED ART WORK . . . AM ORIGINAL COLOR PAINTING IN GRAND SIZE . . . FROM JAPAN'S OLDEST MYTHOLOGY: . . . THE KOJIKI & NIHON SHOKI PANTHEON . . . THE ORIGINS OF THE EMPEROR . . . OTOHIME GYO RETSU ZU: . . . THE PROCESSION OF OTOHIME DAUGHTER OF THE SEA GOD . . A stunning color painting by Kyosai. Probably done for a temple donation or as an expression of his faith to Japan's historic heroine. . OTOHIME is a goddess in Japanese mythology and is featured in the Kojiki as well as Nihon Shoki. Also known as "Luminous Jewel". A Japanese goddess the beautiful daughter of the sea-king Ryujin. She married Hoori and gave birth to a son after which she turned into a dragon. . Per the Japanese text brushed on the verso upper left corner: "239 ban dated Ansei 7th Kanoe-Saru-doshi 2 gatsu jojun end of February OTOHIME GYO RETSU ZU" . English: "#239 dated Ansei 7th monkey zodiac year end of Feb.: 1860 . PAINTING TITLE PER VERSO: "THE FIGURE OF PRINCESS OTOHIME'S PROCESSION THE DAUGHTER OF THE SEA GOD" . "Toyotama-hime" Japanese for "Lady Bountiful Soul" better known as Otohime is a goddess in Japanese mythology and is featured in the Kojiki as well as Nihon Shoki. She is the beautiful daughter of Ryujin the "God of the Sea." . A STUNNING ORIGINAL POLYCHROME GOUACHE PAINTING: . This original color watercolor painting shows the lively procession of OTOHIME and her hand maid. She is followed by a flag and umbrella bearer. Also following is a man with a pair of deer antlers good omen a man with a small red offering table with peaches the Wind God and his thunder-drum. Another flag bearer his helper followed by two others one holds a staff the other an offering of golden egg. . The items carries are symbolic good fortune and wealth in terms of deer antlers peaches and the golden egg represent ancient Chinese also used by the Japanese of omens of good fortune and good luck. . THE PAINTING: . Per the Japanese brushed text on the verso there is a number found meaning this panel of several was part of a larger work per the chronology found in Clark see below. . This panel of several paintings was part of a restoration of Zojo-ji temple in Shiba. In 1859 KANO Toei & Kyosai "participates in a repair project at the Zojo-ji temple." See Clark. . Although Kyosai had officially left the Kano school in 1854 by participating in the restoration of Tokugawa's family temple in Shiba he was showing loyalty to the Tokugawa family a good reason to volunteer his skills to the temple. It is also noteworthy that his mentor Kano Toei also participated in the restoration and in all likelihood Kyosai joined his master in a sign of respect and loyalty to him. . Based on this chronology it is clear Kyosai was one of the painters who worked at Zojo-ji temple along with his mentor and master teacher Kano Toei. It was not uncommon at this time for schools to volunteer teachers and students to do temple restoration and art work painting replacing or enhancing paintings and large murals. . This item's date matches the restoration dates for the Zojo-ji temple which began in 1859 and continued into 1860. . This panel was unused in the restoration it may have been a precursor to the final painting which was actually used in the restoration project. It matches the scenes found in Zojo-ji temple restoration. The work is the exact style of others painted by Kyosai and his genre. The caricatures of the people in this painting reflect Kyosai's style exactly the theme of his eccentric humor expressing his love for creativity and the joy of painting. . It is entirely within Kyosai's bizarre character to undertake and devote himself to such a project as illustrating the famous myth of OTOHIME in more than 200 deluxe extra-large-size format paintings. . This restoration project could also have been a 'paying job' for Kyosai as at that time he did not seem to be employed but in 1858 he began to design "Kyoga crazy pictures. It was in 1857 he married Okyo the daughter of a Rimpa painter Suzuki Kiitsu but Okyo died in 1859 and he remarried Tose who died in 1860. . It is more than likely Kyosai being a Buddhist he felt it was his religious obligation to do pennants by contributing to and drawing Buddhist or such traditional images as a way to placate the loss of his wife. . THE STORY OF OTOHIME DAUGHTER OF THE SEA GOD: . Because this work was part of the Zojo-ji temple restoration it cannot be considered a commercial painting one that was casually drawn and put on the market for sale. This was part of a commissioned restoration financed by some benefactor to the temple and most likely supported by the Tokugawa family. . ONE OF JAPAN'S EARLIEST AND MOST FAMOUS MYTHS: . The story of OTOHIME DAUGHTER OF THE SEA GOD is one of Japan's oldest and most famous myths known to all Japanese. Treasured as one of the most important in the ancient pantheon it is found in the earliest writing about the origin of Japan and the Emperor in the KOJIKI and the NIHON SHOKI. . This kind of larger paper illustrated story would take months to complete by It would also take devotion to the subject and focus with responsibility to produce a good number of paints daily. This was something Kyosai could and would do ! . THE ARTIST/PAINTER: This work is unsigned which is expected as part of a larger series of paintings. If this was the work of Kyosai it falls entirely within the dates during his period of work produced when he was 29 years old. . The caricature in the faces and fluid bodies in motion the "flowing" style are his. Although there is no signature and it is a true reflection of Kawanabe's work we are attributing it to him. . Another convincing point is that this kind of painting and meticulous style is also found in his famous instructional showing various 'schools' of painting in his KYOSAI GADEN. See below. . WHO WAS KAWANABE GYOSAI/KYOSAI: 1831-1889: Kawanabe Kyosai was a superb artist in the words of a critic "an individualist and an independent perhaps the last virtuoso in traditional Japanese painting". . Living through the Edo period to the Meiji period Kyosai witnessed Japan transform itself from a feudal country into a modern state. Born at Koga he was the son of a Samurai. His first aesthetic shock was at the age of nine when he picked up a human head apart from a corpse in the Kanda river. . After working for a short time as a boy with Utagawa Kuniyoshi he received his artistic training in the Kano school but soon abandoned the formal traditions for the greater freedom of the popular school. During the political ferment which produced and followed the revolution of 1867 Kyosai attained a reputation as a caricaturist. His very long painting on Makimono" scroll The battle of the farts" may be seen as a caricature of this ferment. . He was arrested three times and imprisoned by the authorities of the Shogunate. Soon after the assumption of effective power by the Emperor a great congress of painters and men of letters was held at which Kyosai was present. . He again expressed his opinion of the new movement in a caricature which had a great popular success but also brought him into the hands of the police this time of the opposite party. After this time he changed his name from Kyo crazy or wild to any one of 19 other "Go" studio names he used. However after the police jailed him he avoided use of "Kyo" but returned back to it with three other "GO" that used the same character "Kyo" crazy & wild such as #7 "Baiga Kyosha" #10 "Kyosai #12 Kyosha Gaishi #16 "Shosho Kyosai" Quoted from Roberts below see that reference for more details. . Kyosai is considered by many to be the greatest successor of Hokusai as well as the first political caricaturist of Japan. His work mirrored his life in its wild and undisciplined nature and occasionally reflected his love of drink. . Color photos are posted to our website. . REFERENCE: . More on OTO HIME: heon-org/articles/o/otohime-html KAWANABE Gyosai later known as Kyosai: Is well collected by world museums I GADAN: 1887 4 vol. set: In this work he outlines and exhibits a wide variety of "styles" of painting. In this work there are several examples of this kind or school of painting. Wikipedia stated about this book: "The most important work about Kyosai's art and life was written by himself: Kyosai Gadan or "Kyosai's Treatise on Painting" half autobiography and half painting manual. WESTERN APPRECIATORS: Many westerners came to visit Kyosai and their memoirs about the artist are valuable. The two important ones both rare were: Emile Etienne Guimet Promenades Japonaises Paris 1880. Josiah Conder: "Paintings and Studies by Kawanabe Kyosai" Tokyo 1911. Conder was a serious student of Japanese art; after some initial rejections he was accepted as Kyosai's pupil and accompanied him for ten years until the master's death. Timothy Clark Demon of painting: the art of Kawanabe Kyosai p.186 chronology and the drawing #21 p.58 is very similar to the pose found in our painting of OTOHIME Toyotama-hime both in pose facial quality hair style and the general perspective.

From the colophon at end of Vol. II: Edo Kyoto & Osaka: Hanabusaya Heikichi et al. 1812. with: â€”. Haru nanakusa ko Thoughts about Seven Herbs in Spring. Three full-page woodcuts & nine smaller woodcuts in the text. .5 36 folding leaves. 8vo orig. blue wrappers as above later decorated wrappers later stitching. From the colophon: Edo: Yamashiroya Sahei 1814. First editions a rare complete set of these two works which are concerned with two important seasonal celebrations. The first of the year is the Festival of Seven Herbs in Spring Nanakusa no sekku a traditional Japanese ritual of eating seven-herb rice porridge on the 7th of January; its consumption would bring longevity and health and ward off evil. The tradition derives from ancient China. The seven herbs are seri Japanese parsley nazuna shepherdâ€™s purse gogyo cudweed hakobera chickweed tahirako nipplewort suzuna turnip and suzushiro daikon radish. The other is the Festival of Seven Autumn Herbs Akino nanakusa less well known then the spring celebration. These herbs are hagi bush clover obana/susuki Japanese pampas grass kuzu kudzu nadeshiko Japanese dianthus ominaeshi Patrinia scabiosifolia fujibakama Eupatorium fortunei and kikyo balloon flower. While many of them have medicinal qualities for this festival they are not for eating but for viewing and admiring. Kikuu Kitano 1762-1831 a native of Sendai came to Edo in the 1780s and opened an antiques gallery that enjoyed great success. In 1804 he purchased a large piece of land in the Mukojima section of Edo where he established a botanic garden today known as the Mukojima Hyakkaen Garden. It is Tokyoâ€™s only surviving garden from the Edo period. There he planted a landscaped orchard of 360 plum trees and other plants including the seven herbs of both spring and autumn selected by Kitano and his literati friends both poets and painters. These works are very beautifully printed using a wide variety of character styles to express meanings and authorship. The first two volumes to be published â€” on the autumn festival â€” contain a fine full-page woodcut designed by the author showing all seven herbs. The text contains references to each herb in waka and kanshi Chinese poetry written by Japanese a guide to understanding the nuances of the poetry and the botanical literature. The spring festival volume published two years later describes each of the seven spring herbs and their uses in medicine and gastronomy with many references to the Japanese botanical literature. There is a long passage on how to prepare the springtime porridge. The woodcuts depicting each of the seven herbs are by prominent artists including Kita Busei 1776-1856 and an unidentified woman artist. PROVENANCE: With the seals of Mayori 1829-1906 and Mamichi 1866-1925 Kurokawa prominent father and son book collectors. Their collection was largely concerned with botanical and herbal books; most of the collection was destroyed in the great Kanto earthquake.

201028776Berkeley:: Counterpoint 2010. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. In the years between 1896 and 1899 thousands of gold seekers journeyed into the remote wilderness of the Yukon Territory in search of quick riches but what many of them found was scurvy frostbite starvation and dysentery. But it was the lure of of Klondike fever that overtook these adventurers from all over the globe to subject themselves to the rowdy and often dangerous frontier towns and mining camps in search of gold. The author tells this Klondike story through the lives of six very different people: a miner a saintly priest a twenty-four year old business woman a British journalist a Northwest Mountie and writer Jack London.
