Description
Paris: Not published., ca 1860. Original three-quarter leather over cloth.. Very good; joints chafed.. Oblong folio album (sheet size 385 x 265 mm) with 138 watercolor renderings (heightened in gum arabic and retaining a bright, fresh finish) of tables, consoles, bed side tables, chairs, writing desks, work tables, cabinets, buffets, clocks, etc. There are an additional pair of renderings from a smaller album that are inserted; these retain what appear to be autograph stock number and measurement notations. The drawings measure appx. 150 x 190 mm.; some are smaller and two to a page. Most are drawn directly on the album page (thick, glazed sheets of paper); a few are drawn on paper and mounted to the album sheets. An exquisitely rendered and engaging album of color furniture designs in the style of Louis XIV; most likely a trade catalog. Each design is fully appointed in great detail and with appropriate colors. A Archambaut, who has signed one of the renderings, is designated a furniture designer in the V&A catalog (under the six drawings it holds in its collection). The explanation for the ornate, high style design of the contents of this catalog is given in the last chapter of Madeline Jarry and Pierre Devinoy's book, Le Siège Francais (1973). There, they deftly develop the argument of why there was a renascence in the Imperial style at the time. This domestic demand was augmented by the managed and manipulated international market for French "antiques" (see Diana Davis, The Tastemakers. British Dealers and the Anglo-Gallic Interior, 1785-1865 esp. chapter one). A most uncommon survival. The foundation and evolution of this kind of trade in France from design and 'jobbing' in the eighteenth and into the nineteenth century is described in Carolyn Sargentson's book Merchants and Luxury Markets ....; Auslander, Taste and Power - Furnishing Modern France - an important and informative study of the evolution and meaning of furniture style and taste, two sides of the same coin for the author, in French society.

Please contact us today for an international shipping quote. ABOUT THIS BOOK: A stunning, head-turning, "graphic opera" masterpiece from an acclaimed painter and illustrator. Francis Rothbart! follows a feral child who is raised by magpies and other creatures and is repeatedly struck by lightning. Because of the phenomena, the child develops eccentric talents, which he then abuses, leading to his ultimate destruction by the same natural world that once nurtured him. Written mostly in rhymed verse, Francis's picaresque saga unfolds in an allegorical environment, much like the topographical constructions behind renaissance religious paintings. Referencing both the Venetian landscapes of Bellini, Pierro di Cosimo and Carpaccio, mixed with the unlikely animated backdrops of Jay Ward and Chuck Jones, Woodruff's images recall the fictive gardens of a paradise lost that lingers somewhere deep in all our souls, moist and dark like the caves of the pious saints. Combining both paintings and drawings, each scene is a visual and verbal feast that transports us to a place in which trees anthropomorphize into figures bending from the weight of stalactite crowns, an iris becomes the gown for an oneiric sprite, and the sky rains down tears, as if mimicking the melancholy of a weeping willow. In a muted palette, Woodruff's carbon and white charcoal pencil drawings bring us ever closer to this mythical ecology. The artist lovingly focuses on every detail: ethereal, fragile blossoms, petals, roots, and leaves; impressively observed wildlife creatures; and each curve of the hand lettered text is rendered by the delicate hand of an illustrative obsessionist with a penchant for the poignant. Woodruff's images are multi-sourced amalgamations that echo with familiarity, portraying a world that is not only our own but also exists in the place of our half-remembered dreams. Thomas Woodruff's first graphic novel is a self-described "graphic opera" unlike anything ever created, a tour de force of words and images in harmony that will be one of the most talked-about books of the decade.(Publisher).
