18896249Paris 1889. 11 Ω x 9 9nches. Circa 1889 Day became intrigued with the French author Balzac and during a trip to Paris painted three watercolors while he was researching Balzac and making connections with other artists and authors. As well he photographed these houses and some of those original prints still turn up on the market. This is a wonderful watercolor painting of a house which probably captured his eye based on its whimsical architecture as well as the placard affixed to the front which reads “Defense D’Afficher†a phrase coined in the 1700’s which basically means “do not post any advertisements here.†A wonderful watercolor executed by F. Holland Day an avid publisher book collector and photographer F. Holland Day was a dedicated aesthete and well-known figure in turn-of-the-century Boston. He was one of the earliest advocates of Pictorial photography in America and like Alfred Stieglitz with whom he corresponded until they had a serious disagreement around 1902 he tirelessly wrote articles mounted exhibitions and encouraged like-minded photographers who supported the medium’s artistic potential. Fine condition. Matted in a glass frame with a smaller window which hides the bottom inch or so unpainted area. A rare and historically significant watercolor painting by this polyglot of photography book publishing and art. unknown
189068061890. One 8 x 11 inch sheet. Offered here is an unusual scrapbook specimen likely assembled by F. Holland Day coming together with Day collection relating to John Keats: two leaf specimens mounted with captions in ink script: 1 “Leaf of the Mulberry Tree Wentworth Place Hampstead†and 2 “Leaves from the grave of Keats.†In 1818 after the tragic loss of his younger brother to tuberculosis Keats moved into what was then called Wentworth Place in Hampstead London with his friend Charles Brown the tree is still there for visitors to see. The Mulberry tree believed to date from the 17th century was situated just outside the window from where Keats wrote in the grounds of Keats House which he alluded to in a July 1818 letter to his friend John Hamilton Reynolds. He stayed there for 17 months before leaving for Italy where he died in Rome aged twenty-five on February 23rd 1821 and is buried at the Cemitero Acattolicoóthe a Protestant Cemetery in Rome. One of the three examples is not present apparently another leaf from Keats’ grave has been lost and interestingly the glue used bears some of the veins of the leaf. “A fascinating and colorful figure and an extraordinary artist F. Holland Day was a bibliophile publisher and photographer. He assembled one of the largest collections in the world of materials relating to the life and work of John Keats and in 1894 traveled to England to dedicate the first ever memorial to the poet. The audience for the dedication ceremony included Oscar Wilde Aubrey Beardsley George Moore and William Butler Yeats. But it is for his photography that Day is best known. His stunningly original brilliantly executed and sometimes controversial photographic images of blacks children and allegorical subjects brought him fame. During the significant 1895-1905 period in photographic history his fame rivaled that of Alfred Stieglitz.†from Library of Congress. unknown

In a career that spanned just over twenty years he sailed with Captain William Bligh circumnavigated Australia and encouraged the use of that name for the continent which had previously been known as New Holland. He survived shipwreck and disaster only to be imprisoned for violating the terms of his scientific passport by changing ships and carrying prohibited papers. He identified and corrected the effect upon compass readings of iron components and equipment on board wooden ships and he wrote what may be the first work on early Australian exploration A Voyage to Terra Australis."Wikepedia </em> unknown

Important note: Date is just an estimate not examined out of glass could be 1865. <br> "In this Lower Manhattan street scene as it looked in the late eighteenth century Federal Hall with its cupola topped by a weathervane appears at the upper end of Broad Street which was lined with adjoining colonial houses built in the Dutch and English periods. Originally erected before the American Revolutionary War this stately building had been re-designed in a neo-classical style by Pierre Charles L'Enfant for the occasion of George Washington's inauguration as the first President of the United States on 30 April 1789 which took place on its iron grillwork balcony. In this view the steeple of St. Paul's is visible above the rooftops at left; and the tip of the cupola of the First Presbyterian Church peeks over the gable of a tall house. Only three people are depicted: a man pushing a cart at lower left a man on the sidewalk in the left middleground and a third man on the steps of Federal Hall. This popular print after a 1797 watercolor by John Joseph Holland was made by Charles Currier. His older brother Nathaniel Currier established a successful New York-based lithography firm in 1835 which produced thousands of prints in various sizes that together create a vivid panorama of mid-to-late nineteenth century American life and its history." - Metropolitan Museum of Art 68.724.51.
