The Open Window - 19th Century British Children's Book illustration by Sowerby
Located in London, GB
JOHN GEORGE SOWERBY
(1849-1914)
Phoebe - The Open Window
Watercolour heightened with white
Unframed, in mount only
8 by 7 cm., 3 by 2 ¼ in.
(mount size 25.5 by 20 cm., 10 by 8 in.)
Reproduced:
J G Sowerby & Thomas Crane, At Home, Marcus Ward & Co, 1881, p.42.
The current work was reproduced in Sowerby and Crane’s 1881 children’s book, At Home, where is accompanied by the following verse:
All the morning, all the morning,
Sat she till her tasks were done;
While without were birds and blossoms,
And the pleasant sun.
And the leaves in ev’ry rustle,
And the birds in ev’ry song:-
“Phoebe, Phoebe, are you coming?
Phoebe, don’t be long!”
Whispered thro’ the open window
Gentle breezes, passing by:-
“Phoebe, are you coming, Phoebe?
Come before we die!”
Till the clock, with joyful measure,
Struck the hour when work is o’er;
Crying “Ponto’” Phoebe vanished
Through the open door.
Whither sped out nimble Phoebe?
She is in the study now;
Ponto heard her with she called him, -
Answered back “Bow-wow!’
“Ponto, tho’ the birds and garden,
Called me all the morning thro’
I had first to do my lessons –
So I think should you.”
Poor old Ponto! He is longing,
Longing for his game of play,
And the garden – ah: but Phoebe
Has a word to say.
“Beg then – beg, sir – do you hear me?
No, no, Ponto, that is wrong;
Paws up! Steady! Ah, that’s better!
Good dog, come along!”
John George Sowerby was born into a prosperous Gateshead family of glass manufactures and artists. He inherited the family business, the Ellison Glass Works, one of the world’s largest producers of pressed glass, where he introduced designs inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement. Initially he combined his energies at the glass works with his work as an illustrator and painter of landscapes and floral subjects with a Pre-Raphaelite intensity, strong colours and rich detail. He exhibited many of these paintings at the Royal Academy. In the 1880s he collaborated with Newcastle artist, Henry Hetherington Emmerson, on illustrations for the children’s books Afternoon Tea (1880) and The May Blossom (1881). Although were critically very well received but the publications were attacked by Kate Greenaway who considered them too close to her own work. Sowerby then went on to produce highly aesthetic illustrated books At Home (1881) and At Home Again (1883), with decorations by Thomas Crane. Gleeson White, editor of The Studio magazine stated that in Afternoon Tea Sowerby “set a new fashion for ‘aesthetic’ little quartos’ (The Studio, 1897). Roger Dixon in Belfast Publishing (Oxford University Press, 2011, p.79) considered these At Home and At Home Again to be “among the loveliest books ever produced.” Never very wise as a business man, in the early 1880s he left Ellison Glass Works being declared bankrupt in 1884. He returned to the works again as a paid employee.

Studies for a Female Nude is a fascinating drawing realized by the French artist Pierre Andrieu in the 19th century. The state of preservation is very good, except for two small rips of the paper on the lower and higher right margins.

John Edward Goodall was the son of Alfred Goodall and Mary Palmer. Alfred was a brother to Edward A. and Frederick Goodall, both accomplished artists.

Portrait of Henri Rochefort ready for a duel,
Pencil on paper
Signed and titled lower left

In good condition : the left and right borders irregularly cut
In a modern cardboard mount : 45.5 x 35 cm
Henri Rochefort, whose complete name was Victor Henri de Rochefort-Luçay , was born in Paris on January 31 , 1831, he died in Aix-les-Bains on 1 st July 1913. He was a french journalist , playwright and politician A great polemicist in the pages of his newspapers ( La Lanterne , La Marseillaise , L'Intransigeant), he defended radical and even extremist political options (anticlerical , nationalist , favorable to the Commune , Boulangist , socialist and anti-Dreyfusard ) which earned him the nickname of "The man with twenty duels and thirty trials », And convictions, in particular in the prison of Noumea from which, unique fact, he managed to escape in 1874.
Pierre-Georges Jeanniot (1848–1934) was a Swiss-French Impressionist painter, designer, watercolorist, and engraver who was born in Geneva, Switzerland, and died in France. His work often depicts the modern life in Paris.
He started out pursuing a military career, as an infantry officer (1866–1881). He was a lieutenant with the Twenty-third Infantry from 1868 to 1870. He fought in the Franco-Prussian War, was wounded at Rezonville, and was awarded the Légion d'Honneur. He subsequently served with the Ninety-fourth Infantry and the Seventy-third Infantry. At the time he left the army he held the rank of major, with the Chasseurs à Pieds.
He never ceased drawing. He was known for the first time in 1872 at the art exhibition Salon de Paris, where he presented a watercolor painting called Intérieur de forêt. The next year he presented the painting Le Vernan à Nass-sous-Sainte-Anne. From then on he was a regular contributor to the Salon de Paris, where he presented new works with views of Toulouse, Paris, Troyes, the edges of the Seine, and some portraits.
In 1881, after the army offered him the rank of commandant, he resigned to devote himself exclusively to painting. He took up residence in Paris. His works from this period represent mainly scenes of military life that allowed him to forge a reputation. Jeanniot established himself permanently in 1882 and obtained his first award the following year (medal third class of the Salon de Paris) with his les Flanqueurs (1883, Musée du Luxembourg). In 1886, La ligne de feu, souvenirs de la bataille de Rezonville, remembering the Battle of Mars-La-Tour (Museum of Pau), assured his notoriety.
From then on, he started to show a certain artistic independence. He then mostly portrayed Parisian women during the "Belle Epoque", women in bathing suits...
