1900164294No date. circa1900. 11 original hand painted fan designs approximately 40 x 15cm laid down on archival sheets 51 x 38cm. Each design is unique some are brightly coloured whilst others are more sombre and some have a lacquer or metallic overprinting and silver flecking. Each of the designs has been backed with Japanese paper. Undated and in very good condition apart from some very minor spotting to the backing sheets not affecting the image they appear to be early 1900s. The collection is housed in a custom-made clamshell case. The earliest recorded sighting of the Japanese fan was in the 6th century CE where burial tombs were adorned with pictures of fans. Drawing on the fan began around the Heian period 794-4485 and became such a hit that laws were created to restrict their use to particular social classes. Historically Japanese hand fans were tools of aristocrats and the samurai class. They were a way to signify social standing and even communicate messages. Japanese fan designs enchanted westerners when they first became exposed to them. Those influenced include the Australian artist Charles Conder who in the 1890s inspired by Japanese fan designs made a speciality of painting them on silk. <br> <br>Various images painted on these fans have symbolic or seasonal meanings. One shows an array of golden origami cranes on a red background symbolizing long life. Another is decorated with peonies symbols of fertility and nobility whose flowering marks the end of spring and beginning of summer. A third is decorated with images of pine bamboo and plum blossom - a combination representing health and longevity because all three plants can withstand cold weather. Others have more abstract images based on the flow of rivers the sheen of silk and other themes. . unknown

1830ST20481-05London: John Murray 1830. FIRST EDITION. 220 x 130 mm. 8 5/8 x 5 1/8". 2 p.l. ii v-xix 1 411 1 pp. <br/> Agreeable contemporary black morocco covers with an elaborate border in gilt and blind of numerous straight and decorative rules and scrolling foliate cornerpieces raised bands gilt in compartments with a central ornament in blind turn-ins tooled in gilt all edges gilt. Carefully rebacked retaining original spine hinges neatly reinforced with buckram. WITH A FORE-EDGE PAINTING DEPICTING A LANDSCAPE WITH A VERY LARGE CASTLE AND LAKE. With 13 pages of charts. Corners bumped and exposed a handful of scratches to the front cover; occasional spots and soiling internally other trivial defects but still quite a good copy the bulk of the text extremely clean and fresh with a well-preserved fore-edge painting.<br/> <br/> This is a pleasing copy with an attractive fore-edge painting of the final work of Scottish mathematician and economist Robert Hamilton 1743-1829. A professor at the University of Aberdeen and one of the founders of Edinburgh's Royal Society Hamilton wrote this work of political economy shortly before his passing and it was published posthumously. It treats of the relationship between economic principles and the development of social life and is considered perhaps second in importance only to his "Essay on the National Debt" issued in 1813. The fore-edge painting depicts a serene landscape with sailboat gliding across a smooth lake in front of a castle and tree-studded hills. The artist has rendered the details with subtlety for example the castle is faintly reflected in the lake and the scene as a whole is brigher and richer in color than might be expected.

198174497New York: Hammer Publications 1981. First edition. One of 300 numbered copies. Folio 19 x 23 inches. Introduction sheet by Carl Sagan and 10 serigraphs of cave art with each print having a leaf of explanatory text. Housed in the original brown box with cover lettering. Pinholes to corners professionally and invisibly repaired. A very good copy. Oddly only 2 copies recorded by OCLC.The finest and most beautiful reproductions of European cave paintings ever published. Every major continent has cave paintings by prehistoric man and they have long fascinated the modern world. There has been a plethora of books and theories about these cave painting starting from the work of Abbé Henri Breuil and extending to today. Perhaps one of the most finely executed works on the subject is the title offered here. This suite of prints was created in conjunction with an exhibition at Hammer Galleries in NYC in the fall of 1982. Mazonowicz who lived in Spain spent time visiting Altamira and Valltorta and Gasulla and also traveled to the caves of France and the Sahara. He created 20 life sized reproductions of cave paintings ten of which are included in this portfolio. Titles include: Bowmen and Deer Two Figures in Finery Engraved Frieze Hunter and Ibex Head of a Horse Giraffe Prancing Horse Crouching Bison Group of Antelopes and Helmeted Warrior.Douglas Howcroft Mazonowicz a graphic artist helped preserve some of the world's most famous prehistoric cave paintings by recreating them on silk. Born in Swindon in Wiltshire England Mr. Mazonowicz spent 15 years in France Spain North Africa and North America seeking prehistoric art. Mazonowicz wrote several books about prehistoric art including: Prehistoric Rock Paintings of Tassili n’ Ajjer 1969; In Search of Cave Art 1973; Voices from the Stone Age 1974 and The Hand of Man 1981. "Mazonowicz photographed the works he reproduced using a slide projection of the work on drawing paper. Over the slide projection he drew black outline details of the painting. He then began to transfer the image using a silkscreen technique. A new screen was prepared for each color application. Mazonowicz used modern oil based colors instead of the mineral-based colors of the stone age artists. His goal was to faithfully preserve the rock paintings since they are subject to modern day pollution and vandals" Rogallery. Hammer Publications unknown

1967AMO-3557Très belle peinture originale gouache et aquarelle signée par Mark Miller Grand format 35,7 x 24 cm environ sur carton de même dimensions Signé au crayon dans le dessin en bas Sujet : homme et deux femmes scène d'intérieur Dessin original exécuté pour un roman-photos intitulé "Voyage pour un meurtre" publié dans le programme TV Télé Poche n°84 (numéro du 16 août 1967 - deuxième année de parution de ce périodique pour la télévision) Annotations en marge supérieure du dessin et au verso (voir photos). Très beau dessin par un maître du genre. Mark Miller, born Marshall Dawson Miller, was an internationally renowned illustrator whose work was published in most of the world. His life and career took him from Oklahoma to Hollywood to New York and Europe. Born in Eldorado, Oklahoma on Jan. 2, 1919, Miller grew up on a cotton farm, studied art at the University of Oklahoma (where he took the name Mark) and then moved to Los Angeles where he attended the Chouinard Art Institute and later got his start as a costume designer for 20th Century Fox in Hollywood. After WW II, he moved to New York where he had a had a long career as an artist that culminated in the 1950s and 60s when he was an illustrator for the Saturday Evening Post and other leading magazines like Colliers, Good Housekeeping, McCall’s, Redbook, Cosmopolitan and many magazines throughout Europe, South America and Australia. In describing the humble beginnings of his career, Miller has said, “My choice of an art career did not have the enthusiastic support of my conservative family back in OK. From their point of view, it was clearly my duty as the eldest son to help run the family farms, and they tolerated my errant pursuit of art only in the certainty that it would become as clear to me as it was to them that I couldn’t make a living at it.
