‎Constructions pour enfants n°21 : Cabane du pêcheur‎

‎Épinal: Olivier-Pinot 1890. Fine. Olivier-Pinot Épinal s. d. circa 1880-1900 49 x 39 cm Épinal Image color lithograph large format printed on heavy paper. Light marginal foxing otherwise fine condition colors very well preserved. These plates are cardboard constructions or models on which a pattern was printed. This pattern must be cut out then assembled to construct various objects or life scenes. The Épinal imagery published several series of cut-out models including the ""Large Constructions"" in 39 x 49 cm format the ""Medium Constructions"" and the ""Small Constructions"". From 1880 to 1908 constructions were published with subjects including architecture costumes boats and various vehicles. During this same period paper theaters or ""theater at home"" also enjoyed great success. This type of toy developed and endured until the Second World War. Formerly sold by peddlers Épinal images owe their name to Jean-Charles Pellerin who was the first printer to publish this type of image in series and who lived in the town of Épinal Vosges. The subjects are very varied but generally revolve around religion history French Revolution battles military uniforms or drawn from successful novels. Épinal imagery has its origins in imagery a popular art born in the 15th century intended primarily for the illiterate rural public. Originally the image is engraved on a wooden plate and printing is done using a hand press. It is then colored using stencils. In the 19th century lead castings were made from the engraved wood: stereotypes which allowed production to be increased. In 1820 lithography was adopted which induced a radical change in style with finer drawings. In 1900 coloring was still done by stencil using a machine that could color 300 images per hour the Aquatype. Olivier-Pinot unknown‎

‎Louis ANQUETIN‎

‎Portrait de femme‎

‎1899. Fine. Fin XIXème - Début XXème 20 x 24 cm Original ink and wash drawing mounted on tab on cardboard. Artist's stamp signature in the lower right corner of the work and studio stamp signature on verso. Light angular fold marks otherwise very fine condition. Provenance: from the artist's studio catalogued in the Louis Anquetin Studio catalogue Thierry de Maigret 28/11/08. Louis Anquetin born in Étrépagny in 1861 and died in Paris in 1932 was an important French painter. He began his career alongside avant-garde painters such as Vincent Van Gogh and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. With Émile Bernard he invented Cloisonnism. From 1884 to 1893 Louis Anquetin continuously explored the new possibilities offered by the liberation that Impressionism introduced to French painting. From 1893 onwards following a long confrontation with the ""masters of the past"" he adopted a pictorial approach that would place him on the margins of the general art movement and distance him from his friends. Dazzled by Baroque art and its creative vigor he believed that his youthful friends had embarked on a path that would lead to the death of painting. He believed in ""perfect painting"" embodied in remembering the lessons of Michelangelo and Rubens in particular. His work therefore became more classical; he advocated a return to craftsmanship proposing to reflect on the a priori conditions of all possible forms of art while respecting the rules of perspective and anatomy as practiced by the masters of the 16th and 17th centuries. Leaving only a few works that can be described as monumental Anquetin proved prolific through his numerous studies and sketches he who considered drawing to be ""an all-powerful means of expression"" the essential foundation of all plastic arts. By deliberately working against the grain of his era Louis Anquetin made possible the existence of an original modern figuration. Through his obstinacy and passion for painting he indeed prevented the path of the great Western tradition from being completely blocked. His works can be admired in numerous prestigious museums such as the Musée d'Orsay and the Louvre in Paris in San Francisco and Detroit at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg at the National Gallery and the Tate in London etc. unknown‎

Executed between February 1802 and 1829 by order of Napoleon Bonaparte and published from 1809 actually 1810 it was printed in 1000 copies on watermarked laid paper ""Égypte ancienne et moderne"" and offered to institutions. Light and marginal foxing not affecting the engraving otherwise in very fine fresh condition and preservation. Volume MODERN STATE II: The genius of the scholars of the Institute is particularly revealed through the plates of the section called Modern Egypt. Architecture industry social structures health conditions water systems music crafts are displayed with exceptional precision and graphic quality. The spirit of Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie remains underlying in the approach of the draftsmen of the Description de L'Egypte who accompany the text volumes with numerous detailed plates endeavoring to create a portrait of the populations imbued with beauty and respect. Wealthy pachas or simple potter craftsmen are represented with sensitivity going about their occupations amid aesthetic compositions without falling into idealism or caricature. THE DESCRIPTION DE L'EGYPTE IMPERIAL edition 1809-1829: La Description de l'Egypte is one of the masterpieces of French publishing and the starting point of a new science: Egyptology. A titanic exposition of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests between 1798 and 1799 it is divided into 23 volumes including 13 volumes of engravings gathering nearly 1000 plates in black and 72 in color. The 6 volumes of plates titled Antiquités are devoted to the splendors of Pharaonic Egypt. Natural History is divided into 3 volumes of engravings. One volume is devoted to Geographic and topographic maps while the 3 volumes : Modern State present a striking portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's Army of the Orient. The ""Egyptian campaign"" a military disaster reveals through the engravings of the Description de l'Egypte the scientific success it became thanks to the some 167 scholars members of the Commission of Sciences and Arts of the Institute of Egypt who followed Napoleon's army. The Institute brought together in Egypt the mathematician Monge the chemist Berthollet the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists engineers architects physicians. They were charged with rediscovering modern and ancient Egypt showing its natural riches and the know-how of its inhabitants. The first edition called ""Imperial"" of the Description de l'Egypte was executed in four large formats two of them specially created for it and named ""Middle-Egypt"" and ""Grand-Egypt"" formats. A specific press was built for its printing which extended over twenty years between 1809 and 1829. The Imperial edition proved so popular that a second edition in 37 volumes entirely in black and without the ""Ancient and modern Egypt"" watermark called the ""Panckoucke"" edition was published from 1821 by the C.-L.-F. Panckoucke printing house Paris. The realization of this monument of erudition owes much to Baron Dominique Vivant Denon illustrator diplomat collector and subsequently director of the Napoléon Museum at the Louvre who accompanied Napoleon to Egypt with numerous other scholars but decided alone to venture into the South of the country while the other invited scientists remained confined to the Cairo region. The fabulous sketches brought back by Denon from his romantic ride gave Bonaparte the idea to send the other members of the Institute there and thus create a faithful and complete portrait of the territory. Following Denon it was therefore the greatest French scientis Imprimerie Impériale unknown‎

His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de L'Egypte.Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51 reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt.

‎Épinal: Pellerin & Cie 1890. Fine. Pellerin & Cie Épinal s. d. circa 1880-1900 49 x 39 cm Image d'Épinal color lithograph large format printed on heavy paper. Very light marginal foxing two small inconsequential tears to right margin otherwise handsome condition colors very well preserved. These sheets are cardboard constructions or models on which a pattern was printed. This pattern must be cut out then assembled to construct various objects or life scenes. The Épinal imagery published several series of cut-out models including the ""Grandes Constructions"" in 39 x 49 cm format the ""Moyennes Constructions"" and the ""Petites Constructions"". From 1880 to 1908 constructions were published with subjects including architecture costumes ships and various vehicles. During this same period paper theaters or ""théâtre chez soi"" also enjoyed great success. This toy model developed and lasted until the Second World War. Once sold by peddlers the images d'Épinal owe their name to Jean-Charles Pellerin who was the first printer to publish this type of image in series and who lived in the town of Épinal Vosges. The subjects are very varied but generally revolve around religion history French Revolution battles military uniforms or drawn from popular novels. Épinal imagery takes its origins in imagery a popular art born in the 15th century intended mainly for the illiterate rural public. Originally the image is engraved on a wooden plate and printing is done using a hand press. It is then colored using stencils. In the 19th century lead castings were made from the engraved wood blocks: stereotypes which allowed production to be increased. In 1820 lithography was adopted which induced a radical change in style with finer drawings. In 1900 coloring was still done by stencil thanks to a machine that could color 300 images per hour the Aquatype. Pellerin & Cie unknown‎

Executed between February 1802 and 1829 by order of Napoleon Bonaparte and published from 1809 actually 1810 it was printed in 1000 copies on watermarked laid paper ""Égypte ancienne et moderne"" and offered to institutions. Light and marginal foxing not affecting the engraving otherwise very fine condition and preservation. Volume MODERN STATE II: The genius of the scholars of the Institute is particularly revealed through the plates of the section called Modern Egypt. Architecture industry social structures sanitary conditions water management music craftsmanship are presented with exceptional precision and graphic quality. The spirit of Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopedia remains underlying in the approach of the draughtsmen of the Description de L'Egypte who accompany the text volumes with numerous detailed plates endeavoring to draw a portrait of the populations imbued with beauty and respect. Wealthy pashas or simple potter craftsmen are represented with sensitivity going about their occupations in the midst of aesthetic compositions without falling into idealism or caricature. THE DESCRIPTION OF EGYPT IMPERIAL edition 1809-1829: The Description of Egypt is one of the masterpieces of French publishing and the starting point of a new science: Egyptology. Titanic exposition of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests between 1798 and 1799 it is divided into 23 volumes including 13 volumes of engravings gathering nearly 1000 plates in black and 72 in color. The 6 volumes of plates entitled Antiquities are devoted to the splendors of Pharaonic Egypt. Natural History is divided into 3 volumes of engravings. One volume is devoted to Geographical and topographical maps while the 3 volumes : Modern State draw a striking portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's armies of the Orient. The ""Egyptian campaign"" military disaster reveals through the engravings of the Description of Egypt the scientific success it became thanks to the some 167 scholars members of the Commission of Sciences and Arts of the Institute of Egypt who followed Napoleon's army. The Institute brought together in Egypt the mathematician Monge the chemist Berthollet the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists engineers architects physicians. They were charged with rediscovering modern and ancient Egypt showing its natural riches and the know-how of its inhabitants. The first edition called ""Imperial"" of the Description of Egypt was executed in four large formats two of them specially created for it and baptized ""Middle-Egypt"" and ""Grand-Egypt"" formats. A specific press was built for its printing which stretched over twenty years between 1809 and 1829. The Imperial edition proved so popular that a second edition in 37 volumes entirely in black and without the watermark ""ancient and modern Egypt"" called the ""Panckoucke"" edition was published from 1821 by the C.-L.-F. Panckoucke printing house Paris. The realization of this monument of erudition owes much to Baron Dominique Vivant Denon illustrator diplomat collector and subsequently director of the Napoleon Museum at the Louvre who accompanied Napoleon to Egypt with numerous other scholars but decided alone to venture into the South of the country while the other invited scientists remained confined in the Cairo region. The fabulous sketches brought back by Denon from his romantic cavalcade gave Bonaparte the idea to send the other members of the Institute there and thus draw a faithful and complete portrait of the territory. Following Denon it was therefore the greatest Fre Imprimerie Impériale unknown‎
