China Export Watercolours on Pith Paper.
A Group of twelve Butterflies and Insects .
. A Group of twelve water-colour illustrations of butterflies and insects all on pith paper framed by a blue silk ribbon. Framed and glazed overall size: 35cm by 26cm. Pith seems not to have been adopted for painting until about 1820. Some European museums claim that their paintings on pith often erroneously called "rice paper" or "mulberry pith" come from the end of the eighteenth century but there do not seem to be any dateable examples that are so early. There is a record of the Kaiser Franz of Austria buying some albums from an English Consul-General Watts in 1826. We know of an Italian Count who visited Canton in 1828 and had over 350 paintings on pith in his baggage when he died in Ambon two years later. In the British Library there is a scrap-book containing six pith paintings and a journal entry by a serving British officer who sent them home from India in 1829. These examples and contemporary accounts by visitors to Canton suggest that there was a flourishing trade in pith paintings by the early 1830s. Pith presumably came into use for painting to satisfy the increasing demand for small inexpensive and easily transported souvenirs following the massive growth in the China Trade in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Paintings in oils on board and canvas were costly and difficult to carry home. Earlier and more prestigious export water-colours had often been on a larger scale and painted on fine Chinese paper or on paper imported from Europe. The albums of pith paintings and later the little glass-fronted boxes were inexpensive light easy to pack and gave the pictures some protection on the long voyage home. Because many were sold in albums and hence protected from the light they retain their bright colours to this day. Pith comes from the central column of spongy cellular tissue in the stem of a small tree called Tetrapanax Papyrifera native to south-west China. It has had a variety of uses some going back many centuries. At the imperial court both men and women wore coloured flowers made from pith in their hair. For use in painting it is cut by hand with a knife into thin sheets from short lengths of the spongy tissue. Cutting is highly skilled and the constraints of the process mean that the finished sheets for painting seldom if ever measure more than about 30cms by 20cms. The sheets are dried trimmed and used for painting without any further processing. Because of the nature of pith and its cellular structure the gouache used by the Chinese sat on the surface and produced a bright and even sparkling effect. Very fine detail could be achieved but pith did not lend itself to the flat wash of colour favoured for European watercolours. unknown

China Export Watercolours on Native Paper.
Pair of watercolours of theatrical performers.
Early 19th century. . Two watercolours on native paper within ruled borders depicting Chinese actors one with an added caption in Chinese upper right each 70 x 55.5cm. Framed and glazed. A pair of watercolours of unusually fine quality with fine gold highlights The present watercolours are remarkable firstly for their quality but also for the size of the illustrations. Later collections of Chinese export watercolours were produced on pith paper to satisfy the ever-increasing demand from Europeans for small inexpensiveand easily transported souvenirs. The present pair is an example of the earlier and more prestigious style painted on fine Chinese paper and on a much larger scale. [Early 19th century]. unknown

City of Nanking.
Liverpool Jabez Vale n.d. circa 1840. . Broadside 31 x 29.5 cm. approx printed in blue ink with a large pictorial vignette surrounded by an ornamental border. Rare Liverpool printed broadside. The text consists of a quote from Lord Byron followed by a nineteen-line text praising the city and giving details of its topography and features of interest. Nanking porcelain was a major export item and the city would have been of great interest to people in the West. The blue on white of the broadside presumably reflects the distinctive blue-and-white porcelain itself. Liverpool, Jabez Vale, n.d. circa 1840. unknown

CHINA EXPORT WATERCOLOURS ON PITH PAPER.
A Group of Twelve Deities.
Canton 2nd half of 19th century. . A group of 12 watercolour and gouache studies on pith paper; occasional spotting. Contemporary red green and black patterned silk binding with a label inscribed in ink in Chinese and French 'Dieux'. Framed and glazed overall size: 33cm by 25cm. A lovely album of these fragile watercolours showing colourful costumes of Chinese deities and processional characters. In a fine original binding with svastikas symbol of prosperity and good fortune. Pith seems not to have been adopted for painting until about 1820. Some European museums claim that their paintings on pith often erroneously called "rice paper" or "mulberry pith" come from the end of the eighteenth century but there do not seem to be any dateable examples that are so early.

From 1757 until 1842 Canton was the only Chinese port open to trade with the west and it is no surprise that of the eight studios identified by Crossman as producing works on pith six were in Canton. It seems that the 1830s and 1840s may have been the heyday of pith painting. The international trading bases the waterfront 'factories' on the 'Hongs' in Canton where they were produced were partially burnt during the First Opium War 1839-41 and totally destroyed in a fire of 1856. The foreign trading companies then moved to Honan and subsequently put up splendid new offices on reclaimed land at Shamian Island a little up river. As the result of the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 additional Chinese ports were opened up for foreign trade and Hong Kong was established as a major trading centre. By 1860 references to China in the Illustrated London News plentiful three years earlier were few and far between. That is not to say that painting on pith ceased. Nicholas the second was given paintings on pith when he visited Canton in 1891 and the last Emperor is said to have sent him a gift which included pith paintings in 1907 though these could have been examples of much earlier work. Painters on pith did not in general sign their work the sole exception is Sunqua whose name can be found on the face of three paintings on pith. There are collections of paintings on pith in the Ashmolean the British Museum the Fitzwilliam the Hermitage the Peabody/Essex Museum in Massachusetts and the Hong Kong Museum of Art. However because paintings on pith are not in general regarded as fine art they are usually to be found in ethnographic or specialised collections. Canton, 2nd half of 19th century]. unknown
