    OLITIN, J.
    Three runners

    France: NP, C1975. A large, limited edition lithograph on stiff paper / light card. On an orange background that fades to a darker shade on one side of the sheet (intentionally) the three runners have identical faces. The style, which is very 1970's in its lines, is similar to the work of Carzou or perhaps some works by Bernard Buffet. it is signed in pencil (but we cannot really make out the artist's name) and numbered in a limitation of 100 copies. We have been unable to identify the image online. No significant damage. White to the rear with fractional darkening. A large piece. The sheet is 56.5cm x 76.5cm.

    . Grande lithographie à tirage limité sur papier rigide / carton léger. Sur un fond orange qui s'estompe vers une teinte plus foncée d'un côté de la feuille (intentionnellement), les trois coureurs ont des visages identiques. Le style, très années 1970 dans ses lignes, s'apparente au travail de Carzou ou peut-être à certaines œuvres de Bernard Buffet. Elle est signée au crayon (mais on ne distingue pas vraiment le nom de l'artiste) et numérotée dans une édition limitée à 100 exemplaires. Nous n'avons pas pu identifier l'image en ligne. Pas de dommages significatifs. Blanc au dos avec un assombrissement fractionné. Une grande pièce. La feuille mesure 56,5 cm x 76,5 cm.

    EMMANUELLE ?
    Trois pages de croquis au pastel et au crayon de soldats de la Première Guerre mondiale Three pages of pastel and pencil sketches of soldiers from the First World War

    N/A: N/P, 1916. Six sketches on two sheets of laid paper and a smaller page. These look to have been removed from a sketch book. One is a full head of an officer, looking to one side in pastel, pencil and highlighted in white. We have not been able to identify the soldier (there were a lot of peaked caps and thick moustaches at the time!) but the sketch is signed Emmanuelle (?) and dated 6.6.16. The second sheet has a draught sketch of the same figure, and a second sketch in pencil, but also with white highlights. This sheet is also signed and dated. (the following day).

We have not been able to identify the soldier (there were a lot of peaked caps and thick moustaches at the time!) but the sketch is signed Emmanuelle (?) and dated 6.6.16. The second sheet has a draught sketch of the same figure, and a second sketch in pencil, but also with white highlights. This sheet is also signed and dated. (the following day). The third sheet has three small pencil sketches. To our non expert glance it seems to show one French, one English and one American head. The sketches are skilfully executed. There is no place mentioned, but they are French. It is possible that the artist was a woman, perhaps a nurse at the front ? The paper is a little ragged to the edges, and has slight edgewear. Overall though, beautiful sketches. Sheets are each 31cm x 23cm.

    . Six esquisses sur deux feuilles de papier vergé et une page plus petite. Ils semblent avoir été retirés d'un carnet de croquis. L'un d'eux représente la tête d'un officier, regardant de côté, au pastel, au crayon et surligné en blanc. Nous n'avons pas pu identifier le soldat (il y avait beaucoup de casquettes à visière et de moustaches épaisses à l'époque !) mais le croquis est signé Emmanuelle ( ?) et daté du 6.6.16. La deuxième feuille contient un croquis de la même figure, et une deuxième esquisse au crayon, mais également avec des rehauts de blanc. Cette feuille est également signée et datée. (le lendemain). La troisième feuille comporte trois petites esquisses au crayon. Pour notre regard de non-spécialiste, il semble qu'il s'agisse d'une tête française, d'une tête anglaise et d'une tête américaine. Les esquisses sont habilement exécutées. Aucun lieu n'est mentionné, mais ils sont français. Il est possible que l'artiste ait été une femme, peut-être une infirmière au front ? Le papier est un peu abîmé sur les bords et présente une légère usure. Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit de belles esquisses. Les feuilles mesurent chacune 31 cm x 23 cm.

  • Two Celestial Copper Engravings. by MALLET, A. M.
    MALLET, A. M.
    Two Celestial Copper Engravings.

    Frankfurt: A.M. Mallet, 1719. A pair of copper engravings of the heavens. The first shows three globes floating in the sky, an active seaside scene across the bottom including boats, an old coastal village scene, etc. The globes show the Anteciens, the Perieciens and the Antipodes. These are too small to have been of use to a navigator, and were purely decorative. This is numbered plate 49 to the corner. The second, labelled plate 71 shows a pastoral scene, above which there is a disc showing the sun and the astrological symbols. These were issued by A.M. Mallet in 1719, although these would appear to be slightly earlier impressions (without German text overlaid). Both of the engraved plates are…

The mounts have very slight bumped, but are in good, clean condition. The plates are good impressions, and cleanly mounted. Plate 71 has a slight crease to the right edge, with a "crack" of loss of ink. This would seem to have occurred at the time of printing. Overall in very nice condition. Size of the engraving is 150 x 105 mm (6 x 4¼ inches). The size of the mount is 280 x 225 mm (11 x 8¾ inches).

  • Two delightful engravings of a Pangolin by [ANON]
    [ANON]
    Two delightful engravings of a Pangolin

    C1980. Two small, but charming, engravings of a Pangolin, or scaly anteater. One viewed from the rear (or above), and one curled in to a ball. Both on the same sheet of thick high quality cream paper. Deep impressions on each. They appear hand pressed. Perfect for framing. Image sizes: 60 x 100 mm and 60 x 40 mm respectively. Total sheet size: 275 x 145 mm (10¾ x 5¾ inches). Pangolins are mammals with large, protective keratin scales covering their skin. Nocturnal in nature, their diet consists of mainly ants and termites, which they capture using their very long tongues. Sadly, these delightful creatures are heavily under threat from poaching, and are the most trafficked mammals in the world.…

Deux petites, mais charmantes, gravures d'un pangolin, ou fourmilier écailleux. L'une vue de l'arrière (ou du dessus), l'autre en boule. Toutes deux sur la même feuille de papier crème épais de haute qualité. Impressions profondes sur chacune d'entre elles. Elles semblent avoir été pressées à la main. Parfaites pour l'encadrement. Taille des images : 60 x 100 mm et 60 x 40 mm respectivement. Taille totale de la feuille : 275 x 145 mm (10¾ x 5¾ inches). Les pangolins sont des mammifères dont la peau est recouverte de grandes écailles de kératine protectrices. De nature nocturne, ils se nourrissent principalement de fourmis et de termites, qu'ils capturent à l'aide de leur très longue langue. Malheureusement, ces charmantes créatures sont fortement menacées par le braconnage et sont les mammifères les plus trafiqués au monde.

    Two original preliminary water colours of the church features Deux aquarelles préliminaires originales des éléments de l'église

    Paris: S.P, 1950. Two original water colour preliminary drawings by Albert Lemasson. Featuring the dome and features / characters around a church including an upside down Crucifixion. St Peter was the primary saint who was crucified upside down and the dome does appear to be similar to St Peter's in Rome, so we suspect that this is the subject.Tthe second showing (it would appear) the martyrdom of several Chrisians.

Lemasson provided thirty colour lithographs for this work by Gabriel Hanotaux, celebrating the fortified churches of the Thiérache region (along the French / Belgian border). It is possible that these are an initial proof for the book. Each image is 21.5cm x 14cm. The sheet is 38cm x 56cm. Unusually, Lemasson hasn't identified the topic or signed the sheets (other examples we have sold have all identified the subject). It is more likely that these are early sketches for some of his works showing Rome. The sheet is somewhat foxed and darkened, with a little edgewear. Still an interesting and attractive pair of water colours.

    Albert Lemasson was a French painter (1892-1982. He was classically trained and entered the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris in 1919. Lemasson specialized for about 25 years mainly in church decoration through frescoes, often working with his brother Paul Lemasson. Besides frescoes, he painted a variety of works including portraits, landscapes, and scenes from his travels in France, Italy, Spain, and Greece using oil, watercolor, ink, and other mediums. He exhibited his works in several galleries in Paris, Nantes, and Bordeaux over many decades.

    . Deux dessins préliminaires originaux à l'aquarelle d'Albert Lemasson. Ils représentent le dôme et des éléments/personnages autour d'une église, dont une crucifixion à l'envers. Saint Pierre est le premier saint à avoir été crucifié à l'envers et le dôme semble similaire à celui de Saint-Pierre de Rome, nous pensons donc qu'il s'agit du sujet. Toutes deux ont été peintes sur une feuille d'épreuve du livre "Les Églises Fortifiées de la Thiérache". Lemasson a fourni trente lithographies en couleurs pour cet ouvrage de Gabriel Hanotaux, célébrant les églises fortifiées de la région de la Thiérache (le long de la frontière franco-belge). Il est possible qu'il s'agisse d'une première épreuve pour le livre. Chaque image mesure 21,5 cm x 14 cm. La feuille mesure 38 cm x 56 cm. De manière inhabituelle, Lemasson n'a pas identifié le sujet ni signé les feuilles (d'autres exemples que nous avons vendus ont tous identifié le sujet). Il est plus probable qu'il s'agisse de premières esquisses pour certaines de ses œuvres représentant Rome. La feuille est quelque peu roussie et assombrie, avec un peu d'usure sur les bords. Il s'agit néanmoins d'une paire d'aquarelles intéressante et attrayante.

    Albert Lemasson était un peintre français (1892-1982). De formation classique, il entre à l'École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris en 1919. Pendant environ 25 ans, Lemasson se spécialise principalement dans la décoration d'églises à l'aide de fresques, travaillant souvent avec son frère Paul Lemasson. Outre les fresques, il a peint des portraits, des paysages et des scènes de ses voyages en France, en Italie, en Espagne et en Grèce à l'huile, à l'aquarelle, à l'encre et dans d'autres médiums. Il a exposé ses œuvres dans plusieurs galeries à Paris, Nantes et Bordeaux pendant plusieurs décennies.

    Paris: S.P, 1937. Two original water colour preliminary drawings by Albert Lemasson. Featuring the altar and frescoe of the church of St Lucie de Moulineaux, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Hauts-de-Seine, Île-de-France.
    Lemasson painted the fresco in the church, which was built in 1937 by Charles Venner (1890-1981), an architect specializing in religious architecture.

    Paris: S.P, 1937. Two original water colour drawings of church architectural detail by Albert Lemasson. Both are lovely representations of medieval church architecture. The first is for a rez-de-chaussée (level floor change) in a chapelle at Frejus.

The card is quite darkened and has a little edgewear. Size of sheet is 34.5cm x 49cm. The second detail is painted directly onto a larger sheet of card. This is a detail of ancient fragments from the Cathedral at Bayeux. It shows the bottom half of Christ cruficied, with two men standing alongside. The water colour is a lovely and accurate representation, showing the damage to the fresco as well as giving a good impression of the detail. Titled in pencil beneath. Painting is 30cm x 43cm. The sheet is 45cm x 58cm. There is a split to the top edge of the sheet where folded, with an old repair to this. Neither sheet is signed, but came from Lemasson's estate, and the handwriting conforms with the other works that came with it.

    . Deux dessins originaux à l'aquarelle de détails architecturaux d'églises par Albert Lemasson. Ces deux dessins sont de belles représentations de l'architecture des églises médiévales. Le premier représente un rez-de-chaussée dans une chapelle de Fréjus. Fréjus est située sur la Côte d'Azur et abrite la cathédrale Léonce qui possède des cloîtres peints et un baptistère avec des colonnes romaines. Il s'agit d'une esquisse attrayante montrant certaines des frises anciennes de la cathédrale. Elle est peinte sur du papier cristal qui a été glissé sur une feuille de carton rigide. La carte est assez assombrie et présente un peu d'usure sur les bords. Les dimensions de la feuille sont de 34,5 cm x 49 cm. Le deuxième détail est peint directement sur une feuille de carton plus grande. Il s'agit d'un détail de fragments anciens provenant de la cathédrale de Bayeux. Il montre la moitié inférieure du Christ crucifié, avec deux hommes debout à côté. L'aquarelle est une belle représentation précise, montrant les dommages subis par la fresque tout en donnant une bonne impression du détail. Le titre est écrit au crayon en dessous. La peinture mesure 30 cm x 43 cm. La feuille mesure 45 cm x 58 cm. Le bord supérieur de la feuille est fendu à l'endroit où elle a été pliée, avec une réparation ancienne. Les deux feuilles ne sont pas signées, mais elles proviennent de la succession de Lemasson, et l'écriture est conforme aux autres œuvres qui l'accompagnent.

Cet album est dépourvu de texte. Les planches elles-mêmes sont en très bon état et propres. Un bel exemple des premières caricatures allemandes. (10) pages. 20cm x 25.5cm.

    Voyeur

    France: S.P, C1980. First edition / original artwork. Anonymous and unsigned. An original water colour illustration of a fox (?) watching himself or his neighbours through a complex system of pipes. The work appears to be a piece being prepared for a publication. There are pencil grid lines to the the edge. The "splatter effect" on the wall also continues beyond the pencil margin of the page (although doesn't affect the sign, so applied where the artist wanted). Although virtually finished, on close inspection, the fox figure may not have been completed (or may be intended to be a black and white figure). A little edgewear to the top right corner. A surreal scene. 50cm x 35cm.

Illustration originale à l'aquarelle d'un renard ( ?) s'observant ou observant ses voisins à travers un système complexe de tuyaux. L'œuvre semble avoir été préparée pour une publication. Il y a des lignes de quadrillage au crayon sur le bord. L'effet d'éclaboussure sur le mur se prolonge également au-delà de la marge de crayon de la page (bien qu'il n'affecte pas le signe, il a donc été appliqué là où l'artiste le souhaitait). Bien qu'elle soit virtuellement terminée, en y regardant de plus près, la figure du renard n'a peut-être pas été achevée (ou est peut-être destinée à être une figure en noir et blanc). Le coin supérieur droit est légèrement usé. Une scène surréaliste. 50cm x 35cm.

    Vue de la ville d'Orléans prise de l'Ile Arrault

    Piringer, 1815. A lovely framed engraving of Orleans from the l'ille Arrault. Painted by Salmon in 1807, this was engraved by Piringer in 1815. In very good original uncoloured state. It is framed, under glass in a recent gilt and green mottled frame. The engraving is in good condition, with a little darkening to the plate. This is an unusual darkening, and looks as if it may be an intentional colour wash ? There appears to be a small (possibly) repaired tear to the bottom edge of the image. As it is on a line with the engraving it is barely noticeable (but see photos). Overall a very attractive and scarce view of Orleans. 55cm x 72cm. Jacques Pierre…

As it is on a line with the engraving it is barely noticeable (but see photos). Overall a very attractive and scarce view of Orleans. 55cm x 72cm. Jacques Pierre François Salmon (1781-1855) was a history painter and a landscaper, he was the student of Jean Bardin and Jean-Baptiste Regnault and was a drawing teacher at the Orléans high school. The Orléans Museum preserves some of his works.

    . Une belle gravure encadrée d'Orléans de l'ille Arrault. Peinte par Salmon en 1807, elle a été gravée par Piringer en 1815. En très bon état original non coloré. Elle est encadrée sous verre dans un cadre récent doré et vert chiné. La gravure est en bon état, avec un léger assombrissement de la plaque. Il s'agit d'un assombrissement inhabituel, qui semble être un lavis intentionnel ? Il semble qu'il y ait une petite déchirure (peut-être) réparée sur le bord inférieur de l'image. Comme elle se trouve sur une ligne avec la gravure, elle est à peine perceptible (mais voir les photos). Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'une très belle et rare vue d'Orléans. 55cm x 72cm. Jacques Pierre François Salmon (1781-1855) était un peintre d'histoire et un paysagiste, il fut l'élève de Jean Bardin et de Jean-Baptiste Regnault et fut professeur de dessin au lycée d'Orléans. Le musée d'Orléans conserve certaines de ses œuvres.

Each plate was presented with an engraved view of a roman antiquity or scene, and then several lines of small text in French below. (There was a 20th Century uncoloured reproduction but this is without the text). Here we offer five of the plates. Each has the contemporary hand colouring, and is framed and glazed with passe partout and a more recent simple gilt frame. Here the views have a visible area of 47cm x 31cm, beneath a passe partout of 49cm x 59cm, and held within a frame of 53cm x 62cm. The passe partout has a very slight wave to each plate, otherwise they are in fine condition. The five views are: Colonne élevée á L'Empereur Phocas (1826), good clean condition; Temple de Mars-Vengeur (1826) very good clean condition, with a few very light foxing spots to the text area; Vue du Capitole (1827) in excellent clean condition; Vue du Portique d'Octavie (No date), good clean condition; and Vue du Forum Trajan (1828) In excellent condition. This is the only picture which is horizontal rather than vertical. Godefroy Engelmann (1788-1839): Lithographer printer, painter, designer and inventor. From Mulhouse, he was a prolific publisher; Jean-Paul Alaux (1788-1858) from Bordeaux, was a lithographer and painter who specialised in landscape and antique views; Jean-Baptiste-Cicéron Lesueur (1794-1883) was primarily a French architect, but spent some time studying the ancient architecture of Rome and collaborated with Alaux on this project. Conforms to OCLC Number / Unique Identifier: 1061143512. FirstSearch shows only one library with the portfolio.

    . Ces fabuleuses illustrations ont été réalisées par Lesueur et Alaux entre 1826 et 1828. Lithographie de Godefroy Engelmann. Elles ont été réunies à l'origine dans un portfolio de 14 planches (d'après FirstSearch - certaines sources indiquent 15 mais peuvent inclure un titre). Elles semblent avoir été publiées non colorées, et nous n'avons pas vu de planches originales proposées avec une coloration à la main. Chaque planche présentait une vue gravée d'une antiquité ou d'une scène romaine, suivie de plusieurs lignes de petit texte en français. (Il y a eu une reproduction non colorisée au 20e siècle, mais sans le texte). Nous proposons ici cinq de ces planches. Chacune a été colorée à la main à l'époque et est encadrée et glacée avec un passe-partout et un cadre doré simple plus récent. Ici, les vues ont une surface visible de 47 cm x 31 cm, sous un passe-partout de 49 cm x 59 cm, et sont placées dans un cadre de 53 cm x 62 cm. Le passe-partout présente une très légère ondulation sur chaque plaque, mais les vues sont en très bon état. Les cinq vues sont les suivantes Colonne élevée á L'Empereur Phocas (1826), bon état de conservation ; Temple de Mars-Vengeur (1826) très bon état de conservation, avec quelques très légères rousseurs dans la zone de texte ; Vue du Capitole (1827) en excellent état de conservation ; Vue du Portique d'Octavie (sans date), bon état de conservation ; et Vue du Forum Trajan (1828) en excellent état de conservation. C'est la seule image qui est horizontale plutôt que verticale. Godefroy Engelmann (1788-1839) : Lithographe imprimeur, peintre, dessinateur et inventeur. Originaire de Mulhouse, il fut un éditeur prolifique ; Jean-Paul Alaux (1788-1858), originaire de Bordeaux, était un lithographe et un peintre spécialisé dans les paysages et les vues antiques ; Jean-Baptiste-Cicéron Lesueur (1794-1883) était avant tout un architecte français, mais il a passé du temps à étudier l'architecture antique de Rome et a collaboré avec Alaux sur ce projet.

    As Ballett und Pantomime was produced not long after the end of WW1, Schnackenberg attracted attention with his creations. His figures and drawings make it clear that in dance and pantomime, the people felt they could reclaim the right to rejoice in the beauty of the body, in animated movement, in colour, in costume, in performance.
