Original watercolour of swooping house martins
Rocca San Casciano: Cappelli, 1895. This exquisite watercolour painting has a 19th Century wedding congratulation message adhered to it. The painting is signed, but we cannot decipher its creator's name. The wedding dedication is dated 1895, so the painting pre dates this. Blank verso. Size: 405 x 305 mm (16 x 12 inches)
. Belle message de félicitations de mariage du 19ème siècle, sur une belle aquarelle originale de hirondelles de fenêtre. Le tableau est signé, mais nous ne pouvons pas déchiffrer le nom de son créateur. La dédicace du mariage est datée de 1895, donc la peinture est antérieure à celle-ci. Verso vierge.

Original Watercolour: View from Castle at Richmond of the River Swale (North Yorkshire)
1876. Lovely original watercolour painting of the view across the River Swale in North Yorkshire, from Richmond Castle Hill - with a couple in the foreground. The painting is signed, but we cannot agree and the signature. At some point a previous owner was told it was a painting of the river at Richmond Castle, and assumed it was Richmond in Surrey, when in fact Richmond Castle is in Richmond in Yorkshire, and looks over the River Swale, not the Thames! Tipped on to white card, corners cut to resemble being in an album. Watercolour measures: 205 x 350 mm (8 x 13¾ inches). Whole on backing: 400 x 495 mm

Painter and Patron. [TOGETHER WITH] Picture Buying
New York: Self Published, 1918. Two works, offered together, on the subject of the acquisition of artworks by American museums. Both written by Edward Detraz Bettens. His mother (Louise E Bettens) had been a patron of the Fogg Museum's art collection. Each work was printed in 650 copies (un-numbered) for private circulation (it seems primarily among institutions and art buyers). The theme of each is to encourage and outline reasons for buying artwork directly from living artists, rather than through brokers. Picture Buying is the sequel, and much of it is containing responses and letters regarding the original publication. Both in green cloth, with high quality laid paper. 66, 88 pages + photographic plates. 250 by 160mm (9¾ by 6¼ inches).
Condition: Both books are in very good condition, with the original green cloth and gilt clean and bright. Vol 1. has a touch of fading to the top edge. Inside, both works are clean, with a little darkening only. Both bear the bookplate and discrete reference library stamps for the Prentenkabinet of the University of Leiden.
