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

THE JAPANESE ART OF BUNJIN-GA WAS INTRODUCED IN THE 17TH CENTURY FROM CHINA'S SOUTHERN SCHOOL OF PAINTING. This occurred during the Ming dynasty through the 'Painting Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden' although that in itself was based on Song and Yuan dynasty landscape painting; and the poetry of the Japanese literati painting was in the style of Classical Chinese poetry termed Kanbun in Japan.<br> Literati painting in Japan is generally referred to as Bunjinga literati painting; Ch. Wen ren hua or Nanga Southern School painting; Ch. nan zong hua both terms borrowed from China. Wen ren hua refers to the status of artists who belonged to the scholar-gentleman class. Nan zong hua was coined by the Chinese painter and theorist Dong Qichang b. 1555–d. 1636 who used it to describe art by literati ostensibly amateurs whose paintings were indebted to their mastery of calligraphy expressed their inner feelings and sought to capture the spiritual essence of their subjects.

Contemporary black half-diced-calf over gray-brown pebbled cloth white silk moire endpapers gilt ruling & lettering on spines minor scuffing edgewear minor wear to corners still an exceptionally bright exemplar. This marvelous album of original Victorian watercolours by retired Royal Marine Artillery officer and longtime art instructor at Sandhurst elicit a nearly pastoral sense including nautical themes historic homes inns castles and landscapes. The album opens with a vivid watercolour painting of a decidedly bucolic Virginia Water possibly on the present-day Wentworth Estate with small boat amidst the water and trees and closes with a fine painting of steamship sailing past yachts tacking in the background and storm clouds above. The album begins with Milton’s Cottage at Chalfont St. Giles where he completed Paradise Lost and conceived Paradise Regained during the Plague years and was a popular subject of other British painters including Donald Macleod Joseph Webb and Charles Leaver. Other paintings include those of the Martello Tower at Seaford one of the 103 towers built from Aldeburgh to Suffolk on the coast of Eastbourne in 1803 when Napoleon threatened to cross the channel; Brook Place at Chobham a Dutch-gabled home built by William Beauchamp in 1656 after the original Elizabethan home had burned down in 1648; the HMS Hannibal at Portsmouth warship laid down in 1840 utilized screw propulsion and a 91 gunner commanded in the Crimean War by John Charles Dalrymple Hay -- at the time of this painting it was serving to alleviate overcrowding in the training ship Boscawan. Other nautical themes include No. 8 a view of ships in Portsmouth Harbour with the dockside in the background; No. 9 a sidewheeler steamship with lighters and rock nearby in the Medway off Gravesend; No. 11 a view of tall ships under sail at Fowey off Cornwall and even No. 47 a nicely rendered painting of boats sailing on the Medway with sails in colour and faint outlines of Rochester Castle and nearby Cathedral in the background.Fothergill also painted landscapes such as No. 14 Hindhead HIll Surrey on the main Portsmouth to London road 13 miles southwest of Guildford with Gibbet Hill rising in the background above the surrounding Heath; three beautiful landscapes of the Scottish Highlands No. 48 Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull Scotland in 1897 which would later be purchased in 1911 by Sir Fitzroy Donald Maclean and restored; Beeston Castle above the Cheshire Plain; No. 24 Franks Hall in Horton Kirby Kent Framingham after the property had passed to Vavasour Earle and in its original state; No. 26 the Mitcham Common Windmill one of the few houses ever built on the common and operated as windmill until 1863 when two sails were destroyed as depicted here -- it was later dismantled down to the base in 1905. Other historic places such as the Old White Horse Inn in Edinburgh where during the 1639 rebellion against King Charles I the Presbyterian ministers urged a mob to lay siege preventing the noblemen from escaping except for the Marquis of Montrose. This painting reflects its dilapidated Victorian state rather than the restored 1960’s version visible today. Fothergill 1839-1903 remains an enigma to many of the typical art references for British painters and exhibited three watercolours at the Society of British Artists between 1880 and 1884 including “The Mouth of the Dart†and “Hulks in Portsmouth Harbour†possibly an alternate version of Nos. 17 & 18 in the present album and later exhibited a painting at the Royal Academy in 1900. He received his first commission in the Royal Marine Artillery in 1855 was appointed to serve as instructor in Military Drawing & Surveying at the Royal Military College “Cadets’ College†at Sandhurst in 1868 under command of Adjutant Major W. Patterson and continued to teach there until his retirement. His distinctive signature closely mirrors that of his 1872 marriage certificate to Edith Kathleen Maclean in 1872 daughter of Royal Military College Surgeon Dr. Andrew Maclean 1812-1902 and by the 1891 census the couple parented 7 children and a niece in their busy household in Hammersmith London.

Here the English text is written by British geologist and mountaineer Thomas George Bonney 1833-1923 who doesn't so much translate from the original German text but rather uses it solely for reference. As stated in the preface Bonney mainly used his own notes and recollections from his experiences in these locations as the basis to create a mostly original text.<br /> <br /> Like the German edition accompanying and inspiring the text are a total 24 plates of mounted albumen photographs reproducing original paintings of various locations and landscapes of the Swiss Alps by Gustav Paul Closs 1840 – 1870 and Otto Frölicher 1840-1890.
