Drawing of Grapes awarded 1st prize for the year 1829 from the French drawing school "École Royalle et Gratuite de Dessin pour les Jeunes Personnes
1829. An intricate drawing of a bunch of grapes a survival from the Age of Enlightenment in France first prize in the annual competition given to a young woman by one of the women who ran the school. Free drawing schools were established in France from the 1740s onward with the aim of training and supporting poor children. The painter Ferrand de Monthelon was concerned about idleness of children after leaving school age 10 and before beginning apprenticeship age 15. The schools were supported by charitable donations and aimed to form the sound basis for further training in a dizzying list of trades. One of the most prominent free drawing schools was established in Paris by the painter Jean-Jacques Bachelier former artistic director of the royal porcelain manufacture at Sevres in 1766. Called "Ecole royale gratuite de dessin" it was initially only open to men. Bachelier was critical of the Guilds apprenticeship training as expensive and uninspiring. It continues today as "École nationale superieur des arts decoratifs".<br /> <br /> This drawing is a survival from another school that also trained women run by women. According to the "Almanach Royal et National pour l'An 1839" this school was directed by two sisters the Misses Frère de Montizon for young people destined to working in the arts and industrial professions. They were instructed in drawing & lithography. There was an annual prize awarded and honorable mentions instituted in 1828 the year before this drawing was done. The judges were the "Membres de la Commission de surveillance" and the artwork was publicly exhibited. The drawing is signed by Mlle Justine Frère de Montizon M. David and M. Garnier the judges & members of the "Commission". <br /> <br /> Inscribed "École royalle et gratuite de dessin pour les jeunes personnes / concours pour les prix de l'an 1829 ce 27 juillet. Mlle. T. Frère de Montizon professeur. Premier Acuellir déservé a Mlle. Flore Lécoufler le 30 Septre.1829. Par le Membres de la Commission de Surveillance. Par les Membres de la Commission de Surveillance / Garnier President Membres de l'Institute / David Membres de l'Institut".<br /> <br /> Exquisite pencil drawing approx. 6 x 9" on paper 9 1/4 x 12 3/4". Manuscript inscriptions beneath the drawing. Small pinholes in the lower left corner perhaps where the award was first pinned on exhibition. In remarkable condition.<br /> <br /> A rare survival and an accomplished drawing.<br /> <br /> De Munck Bert Steven L. Kaplan Hugo Soly edit.

Marbled endpapers contemporary inked gift inscription and later manuscript note on the provenance of the volume in the hand of a descendent of the original compiler to front blank fly-leaf. A late Georgian manuscript commonplace in a single legible hand comprised predominantly of texts concerning the female character marriage love and virtue. The volume contains a plethora of extracts from published authors both prose and verse including Romantic poets Byron and Wordsworth philosopher Edmund Burke Scottish presbyterian minister James Fordyce Washington Irving and Shakespeare. The manuscript opens with a seemingly original two-page composition concerning the temperament constitution and attributes of women: 'The all-powerful influence of woman - the irresistible control of her attractions - the exquisite and undefinable combination of mind and form - belong not exclusively to any rank or age or country; they are the natural characteristics of humanity all the world over:- hers is an universal empire'. The volume was presented to 'Chuff' from her affectionate 'Wills'; the mid-twentieth century note concerning provenance ascribes the compilation to 'Mr. Sims' though erroneously suggests that it was 'probably compiled.about the time of Waterloo'. . 8vo.

[Women] [Labor] [Massachusetts] Greene, JJ. J. J.
Group Portrait of Female Mill Workers Lawrence Massachusetts c. 1880s
Lawrence 1880. Albumen photograph on card stock 7 ¾ x 4 ½ inches. Good. Working conditions were notoriously bad in Lawrence one of the industrial hubs of the textile industry in the late nineteenth century after the harnessing of the Merrimack River’s water power in 1845. The city was a hub of immigration - mostly Irish - and many immigrants who were familiar with mill work flocked to the city in the 1850s. In 1860 an accident at the Pemberton Mill killed 145 workers. The Bread and Roses strike of 1912 also known as the Lawrence Textile Strike was the culmination of decades of poor working conditions. This uncommon occupational photograph of female mill workers gives scant clues as to the background of the workers or specifics of the factory. We find no record of the photographer a J.J. Greene based in Lawrence. The seven women pictured are mostly looking off-camera suggesting that the photographer had a companion. The date is unknown but the albumen cabinet card format and general feel suggest a date of 1880s-1890s. <br /> <br /> An uncommon occupational photograph of women in Lawrence’s mills. Good condition overall fading to image and some light foxing verso with tears from tape removal. unknown
