1890réf. 54541Constantinople: Sebah & Joaillier 1890. First edition. Hardcover. vg- to vg. Oblong small folio. 12 1/4 x 14 1/4". Red pebbled cloth boards with decorative gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the covers. Rebacked maroon leather spine. Gilt-stamped crescent moon and star motif the national emblem of Turkey on the back cover. Taken from the Galata Tower in what is now the Karaköy neighborhood of Istanbul this magnificent panorama displays the skyline and cityscape of Constantinople as it appeared sometime in the late 1880s or early 1890s. The panorama is comprised of 10 original albumen photographs mounted on heavy card stock and bound together in accordion style leporello measuring a total of more then 11 feet when completely unfolded. Shot in a southwardly direction the viewer can see Galata Karaköy in the foreground and from left to right across the Bosporus to the Uskudar district on the Asian side and then across the harbor at the mouth of the Golden Horn the Galata Bridge and across to the Pérama neighborhood and the Faith district where many famous landmarks of the city can be seen including the New Mosque Topkapi Palace Hagia Sophia and many others. Each panel measures about 13" wide and 12" tall. The photography is credited to "Sebah & Joaillier" one of the most prominent and prolific photography studios of Ottoman Empire during the second half of 19th century. Originally founded sometime around 1857 in Instanbul by Syrian-Armenian photographer Pascal Sebah 1823-1886 the studio was one of the earliest in the city and all of Ottoman Turkey. By the 1870s Sebah had become among the most prominent Ottoman photographers having also opened a branch of the studio in Cairo. Upon Sebah's death in 1888 the firm was taken over by his 16 year-old son Jean Pascal Sebah who then partnered with photographer Policarpe Joaillier 1848-1904. The firm was renamed "Sebah & Joaillier". Therefore although this panorama is undated it could not have been issued earlier than 1888; most likely sometime shortly thereafter circa 1890. Spine of of the portfolio has been professionally re-backed. Plates with minor to light foxing although the images are still quite clean and vibrant. Binding in very good images in very good- to very good condition overall. A slightly later version of the panorama from Sebah & Joaillier simply titled "Constantinople" is comprised of 12 slightly smaller panels instead of 10 and measures around the same size in total.

réf. 83369Paris c.1930s. . Six gelatin silver prints 22 x 16 cm. Very good condition and with very good tone. Framed. A series of six nude studies showing the same model posing in the photographer's studio. The style of the photographs which artistically combines high and low art allows to attribute the authorship to the Grundworth studio which is known to have been producing erotic postcards in Paris from the 1890s to the 1930s. Like most of the studios engaged in production of erotic photographs and postcards of the time little is known about it as despite the widespread circulation of these cards their production and distribution was illegal in France hence anonymity was essential. Given the time span and a number of different styles the name is unlikely to represent an individual photographer but more likely a group of photographers who were perhaps better known but wanted to hide their real identities.

Inchiostro e matita rossa misure: mm 291 x 214 Pittore italiano. Dopo un primo periodo a Como presso il ritrattista Girolamo Caprera, si trasferisce a Bologna dove frequenta la bottega del pittore Gabriele Ferrantini. Scoperto poi da Girolamo Curti, detto il Dentone, caposcuola dei quadraturisti bolognesi, diviene suo collaboratore. Inizialmente apprezzato come prospettico, il Colonna si perfezionò nella pittura di figura. Proprio come figurista segue il Curti a Ravenna, a Ferrara, a Parma nel 1628, e ancora a Modena nel 1631-32 e nel frattempo nell'atelier del Curti vediamo anche Agostino Mitelli. Tra i due artisti inizia una forte collaborazione che li vede impegnati in moltissimi e importanti cantieri fra cui nel 1665-67 quello di Bologna per la cappella del Rosario nella chiesa di S. Domenico. Il soggetto di questo straordinario foglio è lo studio preparatorio per uno degli angeli che reggono la grande corona di fiori nella Cappella del Rosario, l'artista studia diverse prospettive scorciate della figura. Opera inedita caratterizzata da un tratto fine e deciso. Due disegni ex collezione Villani oggi presso i Musei Civici di Reggio Emilia e relativi al medesimo cantiere sono un puntuale termine di confronto stilistico. Disegno applicato su carta antica del XVIII secolo, a sua volta montato su controfondo azzurro della fine del XVIII secolo.

Penna, acquerello grigio e acquerello color bistro chiaro misure: mm 424 x 255 L’imponente studio architettonico è composto da un solido basamento a forma circolare su cui poggiano delle colonne con capitelli delineati in un riecheggiante stile corinzio. Al centro della composizione vi è la Sacra Famiglia, con la Vergine inginocchiata posta sulla sinistra mentre sorregge il Bambino in fasce. Sopra di esso tre cherubini lo vegliano. A destra San Giuseppe stante osserva il tenero gruppo tenendo le mani appena alzate in un delicato atteggiamento di amorevole contemplazione. Nella parte superiore la porzione centrale della trabeazione e il tetto sono spettacolarmente squarciati da un trionfo di angeli e angioletti; che emergono dall’apparizione celestiale emanata dalla figura del Padre, posto sull’apice della composizione. La luce propagata dal divino intervento si diffonde in tutte le direzioni, concentrandosi con grande effetto scenografico sulla Sacra Famiglia sottostante. Nonostante a tutt’oggi rimanga ancora anonimo, l’autore ci rivela qualcosa di sé grazie ad un linguaggio che riporta con una certa immediatezza alla cultura grafica francese del XVIII secolo, ed in particolare al vasto seguito di Francois Boucher, maestro incontrastato del gusto Rococò. Le fisionomie delle figure, le anatomie infantili affrontate con soffici volumi, le acquerellature dai toni leggeri stese con veloci campiture attentamente distribuite e ancora l’ariosità e teatralità della composizione fanno propendere per la cultura figurativa d’oltralpe. Nonostante ciò vi sono elementi che curiosamente riportano anche al linguaggio barocco, come ad esempio le vesti di San Giuseppe e della Vergine, che nel loro complesso svolgimento rimembrano i panneggi della Roma del ‘600. La stessa accentuata teatralità strizza l’occhio ai grandi progetti barocchi della lunga stagione berniniana. Segno forse di un viaggio di formazione in Italia che l’autore, come del resto molti del suo tempo, può aver affrontato per scoprire i tesori della Penisola e studiare da vicino i Maestri del passato. Ed è forse a quel periodo della vita dell’artista che il disegno risale, magari come esercizio di copia di un progetto o di un altare ad oggi noi ignoto o non ancora identificato; oppure come prova in cui il disegnatore mette in pratica le nozioni apprese a seguito del lungo pellegrinaggio in Italia. Opera in ottimo stato di conservazione, con le parti acquerellate ben apprezzabili in tutti i delicati passaggi tonali. Leggero foxing nella parte superiore a destra. Una piega centrale orizzontale appena visibile. Foglio applicato su supporto cartaceo del XVIII secolo. In basso a sinistra a china color seppia: “Boucher”. Filigrana: “Serpente”. Bibliografia: J. Bean, “15th-18th Century French Drawings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art”, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1986.

1930réf. I7D9LIPN5PS6London 1930. In a wooden frame ca. 53 x 64 cm under glass. Matt silver print ca. 28 x 36 cm watercolour pastel gouache and oil paint. Mounted on paper in a passe-partout. Signed "Lafayette" in pencil on the mount. Impressively coloured photographic portrait of the Saudi crown prince Saud 1902-1969 by the eminent London photographic studio Lafayette. Prince Saud the future King Saud of Saudi Arabia had been appointed crown prince in 1933 and fought in the 1934 war against Yemen. After the war his father encouraged him to travel abroad and over the next few years he visited Saudi-Arabia's neighbours Europe and the United States. While in London Prince Saud had his portrait taken by the Lafayette studio originally established in Dublin in 1880. It is no coincidence that Prince Saud chose a firm that had photographed numerous emperors kings sultans earls early movie stars etc. The firm would also provide hand coloured prints on request and the current photograph is an example of the very high quality they provided. The photograph of Prince Saud was coloured by painting over the photograph with watercolours and pastel. A subsequent treatment made it possible to use tiny drops of oil paint to highlight the gold trimming on his robe the jewels and pearls on his sword and the small lights in his eyes. In very good condition with only very minor craquelure. A colour portrait of the future King Saud of Arabia: a photograph enhanced by an expert painter from the leading British firm for the genre.l For Lafayette: Russell Harris Narrated in calm prose. unknown
