1923103159<p>Small 8vo original red paper wrapper paper label for title on front wrapper large colored folding map 25" x 19". Wrappers were probably generic and attached to the map that was needed which is why the used a paper label for title. Wrapper has some wear at extremities especially the spine area but still in tact;  map is bright and clean and in very good plus condition.  The date of 1923 is on the paper wrapper but it is unclear if that's when this map was published still it’s likely from the 1920s. A very attractive tourist map that has considerable detail and includes an inset showing population density in Holland. The tile on the map is The Netherlands. </p> "Geographia" Ltd, books

1934WRCAM25237Probably San Francisco 1934. Oil on canvas 18 x 21 inches. Signed lower right: "John Holland." Very good. Framed. A brutal Depression painting a bum's-eye view of the hog carcasses live swine and the boots and slopbroom of a butcher seen in the alleyway behind a San Francisco butchershop. Painted in luminous sea greens and whites from the perspective of a laid- out drunk this intense examination of life among the lowly possesses an unlikely grandeur. Harder edged than Daumier's great and tragic pictures of the Parisian underbelly more desperate than any of Sloan's ashcan scenes down-and-out artist John Holland's "Butchershop Alley" is an uncensored depiction of what the promised land looked like to a man who was knocked out at the end of its road. <br> <br> According to an artist file at the San Francisco Museum of Art John Holland was born in Kilkenny Ireland in 1882. The date of his arrival in San Francisco is unknown. An informational form found in the file listed his full time occupation as perhaps sardonically "gallery attendant." His WPA work includes watercolor paintings for Bay region schools and Letterman Hospital the United States Army's first permanent general hospital founded in 1899 and completed in 1935. He died in Golden Gate Park circa 1935. The police identified Holland's body from a receipt found in his pocket for two paintings lent to a San Francisco Museum of Art exhibition. <br> <br> Provenance: Private Collection New Haven Ct.
