  • G.H. Martel Champagne. C'est La Fête by IROLLA, Roland
    IROLLA, Roland
    G.H. Martel Champagne. C'est La Fête

    Reims: 1984. A scarce poster for G.H. Martel champagne, signed and dated in the plate by the artist. Currently in a simple dark wood frame under glass. From the printer's marks on the edge of the print, this may well have been a printer's proof of the design for reproduction in magazines etc. This is a large object. The visible area of the poster is 53cm x 41cm. The frame is 65cm x 51cm. The poster has some creasing to the edges, and either a crease or a repaired tear to one edge. (We haven't examined it out of the frame. The frame is sound but with some handling. Never the less, and attractive poster. 4kg packed. We have been…

We have been able to trace one image online in an online champagne collection. There are no copies for sale at the time of cataloguing. Can be removed from the frame and sent in a poster tube if desired.

    , Rare affiche pour le champagne G.H. Martel, signée et datée dans la plaque par l'artiste. Elle se trouve actuellement dans un cadre simple en bois foncé sous verre. D'après les marques d'imprimeur sur le bord de l'impression, il pourrait bien s'agir d'une épreuve d'imprimeur du dessin pour reproduction dans des magazines, etc. Il s'agit d'un objet de grande taille. La partie visible de l'affiche mesure 53 cm x 41 cm. Le cadre mesure 65 cm x 51 cm. L'affiche présente quelques plis sur les bords, ainsi qu'un pli ou une déchirure réparée sur l'un des bords. (Nous ne l'avons pas examiné hors du cadre. Le cadre est sain mais a subi quelques manipulations. Il s'agit néanmoins d'une affiche attrayante. 4kg emballé. Nous avons pu retrouver une image en ligne dans une collection de champagne en ligne. Il n'y a pas d'exemplaires en vente au moment de l'établissement du catalogue. L'affiche peut être retirée du cadre et envoyée dans un tube si vous le souhaitez.

  • HEBE - The Goddess of Youth by CARDON, d'après VILLIERS, François Huet.
    CARDON, d'après VILLIERS, François Huet.
    HEBE - The Goddess of Youth

    London: H Cardon, 1813. A high quality print from the early nineteenth century. The print has been trimmed to the image itself, so the printer details have been cropped. It is likely to have been engraved by H. Cardon. He was a stipple engraver active in London and Paris from 1817 to 1835 after Francois Huet Villiers (1772-1813) was the son of Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745-1811). Based in London, he produced this work C1800. It is a portrait of the Goddess Hebe. The original watercolour is held in the British Museum. Ref. 1953,0918.1 A high quality engraving, which still holds its colour nicely. There is a scratch to the top left edge, but overall in good condition. Held under passepartout.…

Ref. 1953,0918.1 A high quality engraving, which still holds its colour nicely. There is a scratch to the top left edge, but overall in good condition. Held under passepartout. Image is 37.5cm x 29cm Passepartout is 48cm x 38cm. In Greek mythology, Hebe was the goddess of youth, daughter of Zeus and Hera. She served nectar and ambrosia to the Olympians and later married Heracles, with who had 2 children, Alexia and Anicetus. Hebe was believed to have the ability to restore youth, Hebe lost her position as cupbearer to the gods when she stumbled and her dress was unbuttoned, exposing her breasts as shown here. she was replaced by Ganymede, Zeus's lover and protégé. Une impression de haute qualité datant du début du dix-neuvième siècle. L'impression a été réduite à l'image elle-même, de sorte que les détails de l'imprimante ont été recadrés. Il est probable qu'elle ait été gravée par H. Cardon. Il s'agit d'un graveur au poinçon actif à Londres et à Paris de 1817 à 1835. François Huet Villiers (1772-1813) était le fils de Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745-1811). Installé à Londres, il a réalisé cette œuvre vers 1800. Il s'agit d'un portrait de la déesse Hébé. L'aquarelle originale est conservée au British Museum. Ref. 1953,0918.1 Une gravure de haute qualité, qui conserve bien sa couleur. Il y a une éraflure sur le bord supérieur gauche, mais dans l'ensemble en bon état. Détenue sous passepartout. L'image mesure 37,5 cm x 29 cm. Le passepartout mesure 48 cm x 38 cm. Dans la mythologie grecque, Hébé était la déesse de la jeunesse, fille de Zeus et d'Héra. Elle servait du nectar et de l'ambroisie aux Olympiens et épousa plus tard Héraclès, avec qui elle eut deux enfants, Alexia et Anicetus. On croyait qu'Hébé avait la capacité de restaurer la jeunesse. Hébé a perdu son poste d'échanson des dieux lorsqu'elle a trébuché et que sa robe a été déboutonnée, exposant ses seins comme on le voit ici. elle a été remplacée par Ganymède, l'amant et le protégé de Zeus.

Les douze illustrations sont en excellent état. Il s'agit d'une œuvre rare. Naturellement, il n'existe que 100 exemplaires, mais nous n'avons pas réussi à trouver un autre exemplaire de l'œuvre complète, et seules quelques estampes individuelles issues du portfolio sont disponibles.

  • A beautiful fin de siecle water colour by Bac

    BAC, Ferdinand
    Icy L'on Danse [Here, we dance]

    France: S.P, C1905. First edition / original water colour by Bac. A large, and beautifully executed image of a party in full flow. A young lady to the top, is holding a banner stating in French"Here, we dance." There are several couples dancing in close proximity. The revelling seems quite drink fuelled, to the bottom left is an upset romantic, with his unwanted rose in his hand, and to the bottom right, a drunk violinist is asleep. A beautiful scene of drunken debauchery, set, from the appearance, in the late eighteenth century. The work is beautifully and brightly drawn, and signed in black in blank to the bottom right edge.

    France: S.P, C1905. First edition / original water colour by Bac. A large, and beautifully executed image of a party in full flow. A young lady to the top, is holding a banner stating in French"Here, we dance." There are several couples dancing in close proximity. The revelling seems quite drink fuelled, to the bottom left is an upset romantic, with his unwanted rose in his hand, and to the bottom right, a drunk violinist is asleep. A beautiful scene of drunken debauchery, set, from the appearance, in the late eighteenth century. The work is beautifully and brightly drawn, and signed in black in blank to the bottom right edge. It is attractively framed under a blue passe partout, with gilt foil border. The whole held in a fairly modern brown frame. We have examined this out of the frame, and to the rear is written "Aquarelle....." (the remaining words have been mostly rubbed away). This does appear to be in Bac's own hand. The water colour itself is 42cm x 29cm. The passe partout area is 46cm x 33cm. The frame is 65cm x 47.5cm. In excellent condition. Ferdinand-Sigismond Bach, known as Ferdinand Bac (1859-1952) was originally German, born in Stuttgart, as the illegitimate grandson of Jérôme Bonaparte. In addition to being a caricaturist and artist, contributing to journals such as "La Caricature" and "La Vie Parisienne", he was also a prolific author, writing and illustrating works such as "Le Voyage romantique."

    . Première édition / aquarelle originale de Bac. Une grande image magnifiquement exécutée représentant une fête en plein élan. Une jeune femme, en haut, tient une bannière sur laquelle on peut lire Ici, nous dansons. Plusieurs couples dansent à proximité les uns des autres. La fête semble bien arrosée : en bas à gauche, un romantique déçu tient dans sa main une rose dont personne ne veut, et en bas à droite, un violoniste ivre s'est endormi. Une belle scène de débauche alcoolisée, qui semble se dérouler à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. L'œuvre est magnifiquement dessinée, avec des couleurs vives, et signée en noir dans le coin inférieur droit. Elle est joliment encadrée sous un passe-partout bleu, avec une bordure dorée. L'ensemble est présenté dans un cadre brun assez moderne. Nous avons examiné l'œuvre hors de son cadre et avons constaté qu'au dos était inscrit « Aquarelle... » (le reste du mot a été en grande partie effacé). Il semble s'agir de l'écriture de Bac lui-même. L'aquarelle mesure 42 cm x 29 cm. Le passe-partout mesure 46 cm x 33 cm. Le cadre mesure 65 cm x 47,5 cm. L'œuvre est en excellent état. Ferdinand-Sigismond Bach, connu sous le nom de Ferdinand Bac (1859-1952), était d'origine allemande, né à Stuttgart, petit-fils illégitime de Jérôme Bonaparte. En plus d'être caricaturiste et artiste, contribuant à des journaux tels que « La Caricature » et « La Vie Parisienne », il était également un auteur prolifique, écrivant et illustrant des ouvrages tels que « Le Voyage romantique ».

Both book and slipcase are clean and tidy with no significant flaws. Aloys Zötl was an Austrian painter. He was relatively unknown until his work was "re-discovered" by surrealist André Breton who was taken by the surrealist aesthetic he saw present in the images - as he writes: "Lacking any biographical details about the artist, one can only indulge one's fantasies in imagining the reasons which might have induced this workman from Upper Austria, a dyer by profession, to undertake so zealously between 1832 and 1887 the elaboration of the most sumptuous…
