RUE DU GROS HORLOGE ROUEN
0 . Bonington Richard Parke. RUE DU GROS HORLOGE ROUEN. Lithograph on chine colle 1824. Plate 173 of Voyages Pittoresques et Romantiques dans L'Ancienne France. 9 1/4 x 9 3/4 inches; 235 x 250 mm. mounted to a sheet 13 x 3/4 x 16 7/8 inches. Title printed in the margin below the image center "Bonington 1824" at left and "Lith de G. Engelmann" right. A brilliant impression of one of the signal images of early artistic lithography Felix Man deemed this to be Bonington's masterpiece because of "its delicate gradation of tone." Man Artist's Lithographs p. 38 In excellent condition. "One of the most important of the artists who collaborated on Voyages Pittoresques is Richard Parkes Bonington who was born in England in 1801 moved to France at an early age and died in London in 1828. His townscapes long served as models for similar work in lithography. His prints have the much-praised silver-grey tone of the French lithographic masterpieces from the shops of Engelmann and Delpech. But Bonington added that wonderful velvety black which allows the atmosphere of the pictures to flicker up between light and dark." Weber A History of Lithography McGraw-Hill 1966. unknown

In the sea above the Arctic Circle the ice is an ever-shifting threat to the unreinforced hull of a famous teak sailing ketch while the rock beckons unclimbed from behind the hostile east coast of Greenland where the mountains have to be located and identified before they can be attempted. An original and attractive undertaking is given an extra dimension of adventure when two masters of their own field agree to put on the L plates of each other's expertise and learn to combine skills which have been put together by few adventurers since Tilman. Knox-Johnston master mariner and record-making solo circumnavigator undertook to teach Bonington sailing above the Arctic Circle aboard the 32 ft Suhali.In return Britain's best known mountaineer would introduce Knox-Johnston to the pains and pleasures of sack-hauling across glaciers and climbing on virgin granite walls. Sea Ice and Rock is the story of a small group of sailors and climbers with very different personalities and physical disciplines sharing a heightened zest for adventure whether navigating the ice-choked channels of Watkin's Fjord cavalierly shaving icebergs for ice cubes or ferrying 30 kilo loads over glacier moraine to climb on a mountain called the Cathedral.It is also a story of traditional travel at the natural pace of the wind and muscle power into a bleakly magnificent untrodden glacier wilderness with a long and fascinating history of maritime exploration.While Greenland's wealth of unclimbed mountains offer boundless opportunity for self-sufficient alpine-style expeditions in the future.Please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk because of the weight of this itemfor correct shipping/Pp quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!<br /> LONDON.BCA,1992. hardcover
