[SEKI]. [TSUCHIYA, Koitsu Or TAKAHASHI Hiroaki [Shotei] ?]
IZUMI BASHI NO YU YUKI: SNOWY NIGHT ON IZUMI BRIDGE. A Color Shin-hanga Woodblo
Tokyo 1930-34 Watanabe. Otanzaku oblong color woodblock print 32.3 x 10.8 cm. artist's Hanko/chop "Seki" in upper in upper right corner else unsigned probably a 'knock-off' of Shotei's famous "Izumibashi No Ame" cleansolid example. . . . . A STRANGE VERY EXAMPLE ! . . . "OTANZAKU" LARGE OBLONG COLOR WOODBLOCK PRINT . . . MOST LIKELY A PERIOD "KNOCK-OFF" OF A . . . TAKAHASHI HIROAKI HIROAKI FAMOUS PRINT OF IZUMI BASHI . . . IZUMI BRIDGE ON A SNOWY NIGHT . . . A MAN HOLDING A LANTERN LEADS A KIMONO-CLAD WOMAN . . . OVER THE BRIDGE WHILE BOTH HOLD OIL-SKIN UMBRELLAS . . This unusual example is more than likely a "knock-off" of a famous print illustrated in Stephens of remarkably and very similar print by Takahashi Shotei Hiroaki executed after 1923 with title: "IZUMIBASHI NO AME RAIN ON THE BRIDGE IZUMI BASHI" The original published in Tokyo by Watanabe. See below for details. . THE SUBJECT OF THE INSPIRATION FOR OUR EXAMPLE: The male servant of a Geisha leads her across the Izumi Bridge on a rainy night while holding a paper lantern. He wears no shoes which is exceptionally strange for all Japanese wear at least Wara Zori rice straw sandals even the poorest of the poor can make from straw way-side straw. . The two people subjects bend towards the blowing snow storm he with a half-open oil-skin paper umbrella she with a wide open umbrella fighting to keep the umbrella steady. . ARTIST SEAL & TITLE: The artist's name is not found on the print. There is however the artist's red cinnabar Hanko/seal/chop reading "Seki" fount at the top right corner. . "Seki" is an elusive artist who is not listed in a the usual standard reference resources on the period and genre of Shin Hanga examples. . This exact seal is also found on our print again by "Seki" our book number 220584. listed on our website. . WHO WAS SEKI: This artist and name are a complete mystery and there are no references to him in the record. This may very well be a spuriously name used to hide the true identity of a plagiarizer seeking to take advantage of the famous Shotei. If any reader of this listing has more information on him we would be very grateful to hear from you. An alternate reading of Seki Kanji is "Kan." . OUR EXAMPLE: The first indication to us that this was not an original print but a poor copy of the original and well-known example by Takahashi Shotei Hiroaki 1871-1945: IZUMI BASHI NO AME: RAIN ON THE IZUMI was when we examined the foot wear of the man-servant. He was barefooted and did not even wear 'wara zori' sandals made of rice straw which is something every poverty-stricken Japanese of the Edo period was capable of doing by collecting road-side grass or rice straw. These could be made quickly and only for the effort. It is inconceivable that any Japanese regardless of how poor would be out walking during a snow storm on snow without any foot gear at all!. . This was a strong indication the print was bogus. While the artist "Seki" who's cinnabar-red Hanko seal/chop adorns the upper right corner after exhaustive search of the usual references we could find no reference to this artist's name nor to the Hanko. . A STUDY PIECE: Regardless of the above this example has interesting points and is worthy of study and a good source for a variant on the original work. . Color scans are posted to our website. . REFERENCE: . Amy Stephens.: THE NEW WAVE: plate 86 p.111-114 plates including 94 a & b. TAKAHASHI Hiroaki.

[SEKI]. [TSUCHIYA, Koitsu Or TAKAHASHI Hiroaki [Shotei]
YANAGI BASHI: THE WILLOW-BRIDGE TOKYO. Shin Hanga Color Woodblock Print
Tokyo 1930-34 Watanabe . Otanzaku oblong color woodprint 32.2 x 107 cm. very good faint center fold artist cinnabar red seal exceptionally clean a bright copy obscure work seldom found excellent registry & impression. RARE EXAMPLE! . . . . AN OBSCURE EVENING VIEW OF YANAGI BASHI IN TOKYO . . . A "OTANZAKU" OBLONG PRINT FORMAT . . . BY "SEKI" . This "shadow" print was done after dark at the famous Yanagi Bashi Willow Bridge in Tokyo. . This fine print shows two willow trees along the river with the bridge in the foreground. A Kimono-clad Japanese woman holds a lantern to light the way as she walks towards the bridge. . A tall bamboo fire-watchtower is outlined against the dark grey-black sky that gradually goes into a deep green as it touches the earth. . Several small houses show lighted windows their lights reflect on the river waters. . A single lonely lantern post marks the entrance where the bridge begins. . Another similar bridge is visible in the background on this moonless night. . ARTIST SEAL & TITLE: The artist's name is not found on the print. There is however a title written in two black Kanji reading "Yanagi Bashi." Printed over the title is the artist's red cinnabar Hanko/seal/chop reading "Seki." Found at the bottom center of the print. . "Seki" is an elusive artist who is not listed in a the usual standard reference resources on the period and genre of Shin Hanga examples. . WHO WAS SEKI: This artist and name are a complete mystery and there are no references to him in the record. This may very well be a spuriously used name to hide the true identity of a plagiarizer seeking to take advantage of the famous Shotei. If any reader of this listing has more information on him we would be very grateful to hear from you. An alternate reading of Seki Kanji is "Kan." . The artwork is similar to and reminiscent of Tsuchida KOITSU 1870-1949 who was master of the dusk evening and night prints. . His skill is unquestioned when it comes to drawing and painting such difficult scenes. The overall effect is stunning and skillful his use of dark colors produces a true-to-life image of dusk and evenings. Very few artists could portray such difficult scenes at this level of expertise. . The subject of this print Yanagi Bashi is quite similar in construction to another "OTANZAKU" size by Takahashi Shotei Hiroaki found in Stephens. See our example book number 220585 posted to our website under the same author's name. . In this example the bridge is reminiscent of the Yanagi Bashi or the other unnamed bridge in the background of our example. See Stephens below. . CONDITION: This unusual size print oblong print has excellent impression and registry. There is as usual a mild center fold common to "OTANZAKU" prints of this grand length of 32.2 cm. . The verso is very clean with ample "Baren" marks a fresh clean & obscure example. . Color scans are posted to our website. . REFERENCES: . STEPHENS Amy R. ed.: THE NEW WAVE: Twentieth Century Japanese Prints From The R.O. Muller Collection. See p.111figure 86as well as other by Hiroaki. Also see previous page with Tsuchida Koitsu examples which also may have a bearing on our print p.110-114 figure 86-94 a b. .

[Slavery]: [California Gold Rush]: Cram, Charles H
Autograph Letter Signed from a New Englander Who Settled in Missouri Discussing the Clothing of Slaves Western Emigration His Next Move West and More
Missouri: April 1 1860. Very good. 4pp. on a single folded sheet. Original mailing folds minor toning. An informative letter written by Charles H. Cram in Missouri to a friend in New England dated "April Fools Day 1860" in red pencil at the top of the first page. Cram mentions hoop skirts Pike's Peak and slavery while trying to decide whether to continue westward during the latter years of the California Gold Rush. Cram's letter reads in part: "Everybody is going to Pikes Peak but me. I think some of them will wish they were back again but they have got the gold fever and nothing else will cure them. I have learned better than to follow the biggest nois and the great rush. The emigrants to Pikes Peake will most of them will have to sleep on the ground and depend on the rifle for something to eat. I may start for Santa Fe about the first of June. I can git 15 dollars a month to drive a teem to Santa Fe. If I do cross the plains I shall go to California but if I have good health I shall stay here though I do not like to live in a slave state."<br /> <br /> In another portion of his letter Cram addresses his correspondent's question of whether slaves and freedpersons wore hoop skirts in Missouri. Cram writes: "You wanted to know if niggers wore hoops. Some do and some don't some slaves in broadcloth and silk and some go nearly naked. Slaves have there stent to do so much & if they do more they are payed for it. Most of them have a piece of ground that they call their own. What time they get they work on it. That is how they git their fine cloths. There is not a nigger in Missouri that works as hard as I do but I have consolation that I can work only when I am a mind to. You tell Albert not to start out among strangers as I did for he will find the people different in the country from them in New England."<br /> <br /> Cram then speaks to the emigrant populations he encounters out west as well as the agricultural bounty and animal life of Missouri: "The greatest difficulty I had was to learn the French and German language. I have been for weeks where I could not understand a word but now I can understand anything that comes along. But now for something else. The peach trees are in flower and the woods look green. Cattle and horses pick their living here the year round. I have not seen a barn in the country. The way to feed a horse is to tie him up to a tree and throw him a few ears of corn on the ground. I cannot rite to day much for there is half a dozen in the room talking about pikes peak or some young lady and how many negroes her father owns etc."<br /> <br /> Cram ends his letter with some advice for his friends back east: "Tell Mr. Bosworth that if he can rais $500 that he had better go to Cansas Kansas and go to farming. If you can persuade Andrew Marshall to go west it will be a good lesson for him."<br /> <br /> A mid-19th century manuscript letter with informative observations on the clothing of slaves and with notable observations of western life in Missouri. April 1 unknown

[Soto, Hernando de]; [Fidalgo d'Elvas, or A Gentleman of Elvas]
De gedenkwaardige voyagie van Don Ferdinand de Soto na Florida. . Gedaan anno 1539. .
Te Leyden: By Pieter Vander Aa Boekerkoper 1706. First edition. Later half-cloth boards covered with marbled paper spine with title vignette. Small wormhole affecting the first five leaves and the folding map; otherwise in very good condition. First edition. Later half-cloth boards covered with marbled paper spine with title vignette. 6 86 4 p. and an engraved folding map and 9 engraved folding plates. <p><br /> Scarce Dutch illustrated edition of the first eyewitness account of Hernando de Soto's expedition complete with a folding map of Florida and nine double-page engraved plates.<br /> <p><p><br /> Dutch abridged edition of the earliest published eyewitness narrative of Hernando de Soto's expedition to Florida and the interior of North America. The text derives from the Relaçam verdadeira dos trabalhos Évora 1557 written by an anonymous Portuguese gentleman from Elvas who participated in the expedition. That work is the first printed account of de Soto's journey and remains a foundational source for the early Spanish exploration of the southeastern regions of what is now the United States.<br /> <p><p><br /> De Soto landed in Florida in May 1539 and led a large expedition through present-day Florida Georgia the Carolinas Tennessee Alabama Mississippi Arkansas and Louisiana reaching the Mississippi River before his death in 1542. The narrative records sustained contact with Indigenous societies and documents the challenges of an extended inland expedition through the southeastern regions of North America.<br /> <p><p><br /> This Leiden edition was issued by Pieter van der Aa as part of his Naaukeurige versameling der gedenkwaardigste zee- en landreysen presenting the narrative in Dutch translation in an abridged form. It is illustrated with an emblematic engraved title a folding engraved map of Florida attributed to de Soto's discoveries and nine double-page engraved plates depicting episodes from the Spanish conquest. Van der Aa's engravings played a significant role in shaping early eighteenth-century European visual conceptions of Spanish America and its exploration.<br /> <p><p><br /> A well-preserved copy complete with the folding map and plates. An important Dutch contribution to European-Americana transmitting one of the principal sixteenth-century sources for the exploration of the North American interior.<br /> <p><p><br /> Not in Sabin. Scarce on the market; RBH records only four copies offered in the past 100 years. <br /> <p>. By Pieter Vander Aa, Boekerkoper unknown

This view of philosophy as a way of life was challenged by the development of scholastic philosophy seen as a body of speculative doctrines and professional skills ancillary to the superior wisdom of theology. Nevertheless it survived thanks to Renaissance humanists like Petrarch Alberti Erasmus and Montaigne. <strong>On the influence of Lucretius on Italian Humanism after Poggio Bracciolini's discovery of the only surviving manuscript of <em>De rerum natura</em> 1417</strong> cf.

[TSUNODA KUNISADA I Or By UTAGAWA TOYOKUNI II]
JUNI KA GETSU NO UCHI: TWELVE MONTHS OF THE YEAR. Together With: SHIKI NO UCHI
Edo n.d. ca 1830-40's. A group of 12 color woodblock print sheets: ca. 12.3 x 9 cm.;prints: ca.11.9 x 8.4 cm.all clean showing age excellent impression & registry no marks very nice examples in old album. AN OBSCURE SHUNGA ALBUM . . . EROTIC PRINTS FROM TWO SERIES MOST LIKELY THE ART WORK . . . OF EITHER KUNISADA I OR TOYOKUNI II . . . UNSIGNED AS USUAL . The book consists of pages from two series of Shunga erotic books:. As usual no Shunga erotica or Harubon erotic books were ever signed by the author as these were banned by the Shogunate. Nevertheless there was a proliferation of these 'contraband' books & prints printed through the Edo period 1604-1868 that were commonly distributed throughout Japan. . Three prints from JUNI KA GETSU NO UCHI TWELVE MONTHS OF THE YEAR and YON SHIKI NO UCHI THE FOUR SEASONS. The second to last print has no title. All of the above are clearly Edo period color prints. The second to the last print has no title but is clearly an Edo period item. The very last color print is a Meiji period work ca. 1870's. . We believe the two series originally consisted of 12 prints in all showing the erotic scenes of each of the twelve months. The same for the Four Seasons showing three prints for each of the four seasons. . Each print is clean more than likely from an accordion folded album or a usual printed book. All but 2 have the series title cartouche and a title cartouche indicating the season or month. The last two have no titles. . Each print is gently mounted to the book using typical Ace corners in white from the 1940-1950's period. . THE ARTISTS: Being unsigned by stylistic analysis and research we believe this book to be the artistic work of the two artistes cited below. . The book consist of the works of two famous woodblock print artists: of the period KUNISADA I & TOYOKUNI II. Because Kunisada I 1786-1864 was the star pupil of Toyokuni II since age 15 his works naturally are very similar to his master's style. In 1844 he took the name Toyokuni III therefore Kunisada I is the same person. He specialized in story books & portraits. He is well collected by world libraries & museums. See Roberts below. . Toyokuni II 1777-1835 may be the artist of one of the series. He also was a star pupil of Toyokuni I. He was a Ukiyo-e painter illustrator Bijin Ga pictures of B-beauties He is well collected by world libraries & museums. See Roberts below. . The last print clearly a Meiji 1968-1912 period work was again unsigned and unattributed. . EX-LIBRIS THOMAS K. TINDALE. Tindale was a famous author of the comprehensive book THE HANDMADE PAPERS OF JAPAN concerning Japanese Washi papers. The first fly leaf of this book has his embossed "Mon" or Japanese crest blind-stamped. See our book #360633 on our website. . This was among his collection which we acquired in the 1970's now being offered for the first time. . CONDITION: The book is in excellent condition it is an accordion folding album with brown silk cloth covers containing stiff Washi paper. . The front covers have a bit of old either worming or silverfish evidence of nibbled cloth in two places. It is minor and has been colored the same as the cloth so it is not a major issue with no damage to the interior pages. There is a small amount of loss to the cloth and the cover title slip is also a bit nibbled on the right edge again of no impact to the book or the prints. . The prints are clean polychrome woodblock printed in several colors with excellent impression & registry. Lovely miniature treasures. Each print is gently inserted in American "NewAce" white paper mounting corners. The prints can be easily removed from these corners. . There is one single print mounted to the right hand side of the book. The versos of the prints are clean the rectos fronts are also clean no damage marks or issues. The colors are vivid the red made from iron has nicely oxidized into a mellow brown-rust color indicating at least 100 years old. It takes 100 or more years for this color transition to happen this is a good sign of genuine Edo period examples. . Each print has excellent impression & registry indicating an early printing off the woodblocks printed in a high quality from expert printers/publishers again lacking any identifying seal as usual. . The last print Meiji period has been re-backed folded twice and old tear mended. . Please review the color photos posted to our website for more details. . THE ARTIST & BANNED BOOKS: . During the Edo period the Shogun banned books that were not inspected and or sanctioned. Erotic books were again contraband and never showed the true name of the artist nor publisher printers seals or logos. Therefore these Shunga Harubon are difficult to attribute any artist. The only way is an "educated guestimate" based on the artist's painting style. At best it is a close of an attribution as possible. Few are listed in Shibui or other bibliographies containing Harubon. . It our best estimate that these two books were the work of either Kunisada I and or Toyokuni II based on our over 55 years of tenure and experience. . Color photos are posted to our website. .
