Description
Liancourt: Bernard Dumerchez, 2007. A fine copy with a few small soilmarks on box. Folio (25.25 x 14.5 inches; 640 x 368 mm). The complete portfolio with etching with aquatint printed in colors. Loose as issued in original portfolio; original cloth folding case, titled on top and spine. LIMITED EDITION, number 17 of 63 copies SIGNED BY NOËL AND WOU-KI, from a total edition of 99. Printed on Vélin BFK Rives. Throughout his career, Zao Wou-Ki merged Eastern and Western aesthetic traditions in his work, retaining technical elements of Chinese painting styles while embracing European Modernism. Published in 2007 by Bernard Dumerchez, Paris, the Le jardin d’encre portfolio, whose title translates to The Ink Garden, demonstratesº Zao’s use of free-flowing brushstrokes, which incorporate elements of traditional Chinese calligraphy, to contemplate nature. The portfolio features a limited-edition etching and aquatint print on wove paper by Zao and a text by Bernard Noël, both housed within the original cream-colored fabric-wrapped clamshell box. Reference: 'Zao Wou-Ki 1950 - 2010: 60 Years of Graphic Works, Go Art Gallery,' Udine, 2012, p. 29, illustrated in color.

Description
S.l., 1860. Good. Small photograph (89 x 58 mm), irregularly trimmed; mounted on card (99 x 61 mm), likewise irregularly trimmed. Identified on card verso and recto in two different hands; on verso "Taken at the time UTC written." Print thumb-soiled; on subject's face a small portion of print flaked with loss. If indeed the subject of the present portrait is Harriet Beecher Stowe, then she was certainly a young woman here. Her hair uncharacteristically tied at the back, and her countenance free from the sorrow and woe that seems to eminate from all other known photographs of the author. For comparison purposes, images of a young Harriet Beecher Stowe have been almost impossible to procure. Unlike the two individuals who have identified the subject of the present photograph as Harriet Beecher Stowe, we are reluctant to make this claim, and thus differ to specialists.
