About the Item

Views of Chefoo is a lot of four albumen prints made by unknown photographer. Prints in excellent condition, applied on a single cardboard. Caption in Italian ink hand-written on hardcover under each print. Prints 14,5 x 11 cm, cardboard 26 x 33.5 cm In the photographs four different views of Chefoo, first three were taken by a ship (probably an Italian smal protecter cruiser named "Calabria") the last one was shooted by an harbour. It is very interesting to note in one of the prints, the large "Kerosine Oil Godown" depot, located in front of one of the city's harbours."Kerosene" was one of the main trading goods imposed by European and American imperialists during the Chefoo concession period. This print was originally purchased or shoted by an Italian soldier who participated in the closing stages of the Boxer Revolt (1899 - 1901) as a foreign contingent (Regia Marina).

Sierra Mountain Reflections - Black & White Landscape Photograph
By Robert Werling
Located in Soquel, CA
Stunning black & white landscape photograph with trees reflecting in water in the Sierra Nevada mountains by California artist Robert Werling. Signed on mat lower right: "Bob Werling." Presented in a silver metal frame. Image, 15"H x 19"W. Robert Werling was born in San Francisco, California in 1946 and realized an interest in art at an early age. While briefly attending a commercial art school, he found photography to be his medium and went on to obtain both a BA and an honorary MS from the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA. He also studied privately under Ansel Adams from 1966 to 1970 and Imogen Cunningham from 1969 to 1975. Through his affiliation with Adams, Werling came to know and work with other noted photographers. Brett Weston became his close friend and mentor and Marion Post Wolcott, relying on his darkroom expertise, entrusted her negatives to his printing genius. While creating an impressive number of his own fine art prints, Werling also lectured extensively and worked as an instructor for the Brooks Institute, the University of California, Santa Barbara, the Zone System Seminars and Workshops in the United States, and for the Werkschule fur Fotografie in Soltau, Germany. Werling has exhibited his photographs in over sixty one-man and group shows in both the United States and Europe. He was guest curator of photography for the Santa Barbara Museum of Art organizing VIVO, the Contemporary Japanese Photography and Brett Weston’s photographs...
