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

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

The original issue in wraps - not from the hardbound aggregations - of the August1880 issue which contains Ellen E. Dickinson's article "The Book of Mormon" "manuscript found" dealing with the claim of the daughter of Reverend Solomon Spaulding that her father had in fact written a work based on his actual experiences it is claimed at mounds he excavated near Conneaut Ohio in 1812 which was subsequently usurped by Joseph Smith for the creation of the Book of Mormon. Fascinating reading and the writing has a ring of authenticity to it un-hyped and oddly down-to-earth direct and sincere and simple for the language of the day - though I am certainly no expert on the subject. Other topics in this issue of the always thoroughly illustrated Scribner's Monthly - almost all thoroughly illustrated with engravings - are: About England with Charles Dickens Fra Girolamo Savonarola The French Republic Canada Whippoorwills the Grandissimes Peter the Great Curiosities of Advertising American Diplomacy Rivers superb engravings and the etchings of Seymour Haden.
