Charles Lewis Fussell
Group of Five 19th Century Views of Hong Kong and Singapore

c. 1890

About the Item

Charles Lewis Fussell (American, 1840–1909) These five undated, small grisaille illustrations of daily life in Hong Kong and Singapore are stylistically similar to Fussell’s "Academy Students Dissecting a Horse" (1879, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts), which was the source for an engraving published that year in Scribner’s Magazine. It is likely that these ethnographic scenes were also painted as illustrations for a magazine article or book. The paintings are all oil on canvas mounted on board and are approx. 5 x 4 inches (each) and framed are approx. 8.5 x 7.5 inches (each) Street Show, Hong Kong 5 3/4 x 5 inches Signed at lower right: “C.
