The West Lake area near Hangzhou Zhejiang Province China has been valued as a destination for travellers seeking outstanding scenic beauty since the 9th century. The subject of numerous classical paintings literature and poetry it has welcomed scholars pilgrims philosophers monks and foreign envoys for over a thousand years. Many sojourners have left their mark in the form of numerous gardens temples and pagodas constructed over the intervening centuries. In 2011 UNESCO declared the Lake and its surrounds a World Heritage Site stating at the time that "The West Lake has influenced garden design in the rest of China as well as Japan and Korea over the centuries and bears an exceptional testimony to the cultural tradition of improving landscapes to create a series of vistas reflecting an idealised fusion between humans and nature." The present map a large scale woodblock print dated 7th year of the Republican era 1917 illustrates and names the various natural and man-made features of the area in pictorial form providing a panoramic view of the region. Mountains islands and causeways walls and gates pagodas pavilions gardens and general vegetation are all depicted in remarkably fine detail.

1819ref. 5248London: Baldwyn & Co. Newgate Street 1819. First edition. Contemporary hand colouring. Satirical depiction of a man on a chair reading in front of the fireplace. On the table beside him on the mantel and scattered on the floor are books. Those scattered are important and educational such as Newton and other scientific treatise. We have seen archival references that this print is known as "The Half-Wit. wasting his time on a poor choice of reading material." The implication is that he is wasting his time in his reading material. Below the title is printed "Luctantar paucae comedunt coliphia paucae." This is a paraphrase of a line in Juvenal's satires which means few fight and few reap the reward. Presumably a comment on the importance of learning. We can find no other copiesof this item currently for sale. The sheet has been pasted onto a backing board and at some point in a frame. The edges are slightly nicked where removed from the frame. The sheet is mainly clean but the page a little darkened. Image is 15cm x 13cm. Sheet is 27cm x 21cm. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 701901036.

Représentation satirique d'un homme sur une chaise lisant devant la cheminée. Des livres sont posés sur la table à côté de lui sur la cheminée et éparpillés sur le sol. Ceux qui sont éparpillés sont importants et éducatifs comme Newton et d'autres traités scientifiques. Nous avons vu dans les archives que cette gravure est connue sous le nom de "The Half-Wit le demi-esprit. qui perd son temps avec un mauvais choix de lecture". L'implication est qu'il perd son temps dans ses lectures. Sous le titre on peut lire "Luctantar paucae comedunt coliphia paucae". Il s'agit d'une paraphrase d'un vers des satires de Juvénal qui signifie que peu de gens se battent et peu de gens récoltent la récompense. Il s'agit probablement d'un commentaire sur l'importance de l'apprentissage. Nous n'avons pas trouvé d'autres exemplaires de cet objet actuellement en vente.

1980ref. 5249France: S.P. C1980. First edition / original artwork. Anonymous and unsigned. An original water colour illustration of a fox watching himself or his neighbours through a complex system of pipes. The work appears to be a piece being prepared for a publication. There are pencil grid lines to the the edge. The "splatter effect" on the wall also continues beyond the pencil margin of the page although doesn't affect the sign so applied where the artist wanted. Although virtually finished on close inspection the fox figure may not have been completed or may be intended to be a black and white figure. A little edgewear to the top right corner. A surreal scene. 50cm x 35cm. . Première édition / œuvre d'art originale. Anonyme et non signée. Illustration originale à l'aquarelle d'un renard s'observant ou observant ses voisins à travers un système complexe de tuyaux. L'œuvre semble avoir été préparée pour une publication. Il y a des lignes de quadrillage au crayon sur le bord. L'effet d'éclaboussure sur le mur se prolonge également au-delà de la marge de crayon de la page bien qu'il n'affecte pas le signe il a donc été appliqué là où l'artiste le souhaitait. Bien qu'elle soit virtuellement terminée en y regardant de plus près la figure du renard n'a peut-être pas été achevée ou est peut-être destinée à être une figure en noir et blanc. Le coin supérieur droit est légèrement usé. Une scène surréaliste. 50cm x 35cm. S.P. unknown
