189071697Yokohama 1890. Fine. Yokohama 1890 12 x 18 cm autre Collection composed of 12 wet collodion photographs printed on albumen paper and hand-colored. The coloring of the photographs uses the traditional technique of distemper painting natural pigments mixed with glue applied with a brush. Photographers thus employed painters rather than the watercolorists used for prints. Album formed of two wooden boards covered with brown fabric showing visible fibers bound Japanese-style as an accordion. Each fold-out recto and verso presents 6 photographs: on the recto animated scenes views of landscapes and cities on the verso figures. This presentation is traditional for travel albums ""views and costume"" which the Japanese would later adopt. Each photograph: 8.7x13.2cm. The first 2 photographs have faded making the red pigments of the paint very visible as a result. For the second panel the first and 6th photographs have also faded likewise leaving the red pigments used very visible. The fifth has 2 scratched areas revealing the white of the paper. Foxing in the margins and on some photographs. The views represent famous sights along the Tokaido route the Meiji temple twice a busy street with lanterns a view of Mount Fuji with the famous wooden bridge. The earliest collections with Felice Beato showed only views of old Japan in black and white and representation and demand evolved. These Japanese views are very close in their staging and framing to the art of printmaking. One finds the Japanese taste already illustrated by prints for famous sites. Furthermore one sees almost no men in photographs from this period because the photographs were meant to represent contemporary Japan and men were now dressed in Western fashion; there were no more samurai. This is why women are represented in more than 70 percent of photographs from this period and in this collection one sees only one man a rickshaw puller. On this subject it was always geishas who were used for the photographs. All the studios thus had contracts with geisha houses whom they had pose for all scenes: musicians etc. The photographs of women: A woman with a fan 3 women holding hands 2 women in a carriage 3 women dancing the women of a geisha house. One must note that any attribution to a photographer is difficult due to the very history of photography in Japan because all the European studios and the first Japanese studios were bought by Japanese and the plates continued to be exploited under the name of the new photographer. Few albums and photographs bear a signature or studio mark. For example we know that Beato left professional photography in 1872. Baron von Stillfried left Japan definitively in 1881. The same year Kimbei Kusakabe 1841-1934 student of Beato and Stillfried opened his own studio in Yokohama. He would buy back part of his two masters' negatives four years later and regularly reprint them. hardcover
1890716901890. Fine. 1890 14.60 x 19.50 cm autre Collection composed of 24 wet-plate collodion photographs printed on albumen paper and hand-colored. The coloring of the photographs uses the traditional technique of distemper painting natural pigments mixed with glue applied with a brush. Photographers thus called upon painters rather than the watercolorists used for prints. Album formed of two wooden boards lacquered in red and bound Japanese-style in accordion format. Front cover lacquered with a scene depicting a man pulling a jinrikisha with a woman carrying a parasol. In the background Mount Fuji in silver color. Back cover with flowers. Edges gilt. Each fold-out recto and verso presents 12 photographs on the recto animated scenes views of landscapes and cities on the verso figures. This presentation is traditional for travel albums ""views and costume"" which the Japanese would later adopt. Each photograph: 9.5x13.7cm. The photographs are in very fine condition well preserved. Some pale spotting in the margins. The first board is slightly detached from the front lacquered cover. The ivory faces have attracted covetousness and have been removed leaving only bare wood where the faces once were. A small lack on the back cover. The views represent Yokohama and Nagasaki some are animated with figures others not showing temples the gate of the Shinto temple in Nagasaki streets a Japanese boat Mount Fuji a view of Lake Hakone and some contemporary views with modern buildings a street in Nagasaki the customs house in Yokohama which is a novelty in the Yokohama shashin of this late 19th century. The first collections showed with Beato only views of ancient Japan in black and white and both representation and demand evolved. These Japanese views are very close in their staging and framing to the art of printmaking. One finds there the Japanese taste already illustrated by prints for famous sites. Furthermore one sees practically no more men in photographs of this period because the photographs are meant to represent contemporary Japan and men are now dressed in Western style there are no more samurai. This is why women are represented in more than 70 percent of photographs from this period. In this regard it is always Geisha who are used for photos. All studios thus had contracts with Geisha houses whom they had pose for all scenes: musicians etc. One thus sees a blind woman playing the Shiansen as was practiced in Japan and the blind woman is here played by a Geisha. Other photographs show women practicing Ikebana Japanese floral art the tea ceremony painting on silk the game of Onigokko blind man's bluff. Kusakabe Kimbei one of the most important photographers of this period more commonly called by his first name Kimbei due to the difficulty experienced by foreigners in pronouncing his name was first known as Beato's colorist before opening his own studio in Yokohama in 1881. When opening his studio he bought Beato's and Stillfried's plates the first European photographers to establish themselves in Japan. Tamamura Kasaburo first established himself in Tokyo then in 1883 in Yokohama. It is not known how the two artists came to collaborate or how their photographs came to be mixed in several collections. It should be noted however that any attribution to a photographer is difficult due to the very history of photography in Japan because all the European studios and the first Japanese studios were bought by Japanese and the plates continued to be exploited under the name of the new photographer. However this album is comparable by its subjects and its binding to already known examples by the same photographers; see at C. Baxley album 111111. Few albums and photographs bear a signature or studio mark. For example we know that Beato left professional photography in 1872 Baron von Stillfried definitively left Japan in 1881. The same year Kimbei Kusakabe 1841-1934 student of Bea hardcover

2012054223Garnet Publishing 2012. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine. X 390 Pp. Illustrated Boards. First Edition. Fine. Inscribed By Emile Lahood To A Cousin In 2018. Written By Pakradouni Who Met With Lahood Weekly From June 1999 To November 2007. Per Wikipedia Émile Jamil Lahoud 1936- Is A Lebanese Politician Who Served As The 16Th President Of Lebanon From 1998 To 2007. His Main Foreign-Policy Achievement Was To End The Israeli Occupation Of Southern Lebanon In May 2000 Which Had Been Occupied Since 1982. He Downplayed Sectarianism And Rearmed The Lebanese Army With Help From Syria. However Factionalism And Lebanon's Politics Undermined His Strength. In A 2006 Der Spiegel Interview Lahoud Argued That Hezbollah Enjoys Prestige In Lebanon Because It "Freed Our Country". He Further Stated That Although Hezbollah Is A Small-Scale Organization It Stands Up To Israel And Voiced His Respect For Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah. In 2007 His Presidential Term Ended. However A New President Was Not Immediately Elected. Following A Political Deadlock Which Lasted For Six Months The Lebanese Parliament Elected Former Army Chief Michel Suleiman As President. It Was Claimed That Lahoud Spent Much Of His Presidency Term Swimming And Sunbathing At The Yarzeh Country Club Minutes Away From The Presidential Palace. Although There Were High Expectations From His Own Christian Maronite Community And The Support Of The Military Which He Had Commanded In The Post-War Period The Unpopular Lahoud Developed A Reputation As A Weak Leader By Some Largely Due To Following Syria On Most Matters. In Line With These Views Druze Leader Walid Jumblatt Publicly Described Lahoud As A "Helpless Ghost" Regarding His Presidency. Such Political Opinions Are Grounded On Partisan Politics In Lebanon Since Lahoud Is Generally Viewed With Respect And Gratitude By The Factions Of 8 March. Not Noted In The Wikipedia Analysis Is That Lahoud Like All Lebanese Politicians Would Probably Claim No Personal Responsibility For The Endless Politicization Corruption Nepotism And Immovable Stupidity Of The Government Of One Of The Most Dysfunctional Modern States - If A Temporary Cabal Of Local Warlords With No Interest In General Issues Of Administration For The Common Welfare And Their Apologists Can Be Called A Government. <br/> <br/> Garnet Publishing hardcover
