About the Item
Four hand colored etchings and aquatints depicting interiors within English royal residences, including "The Blue Velvet Room at Carlton House", "The Queen's Library at Frogmore", "The Green Pavilion at Frogmore" and "The Stair Case at Buckhingham House". These engravings were part of the work of William Henry Pyne entitled "The History of the Royal Residences" published in 1816-19. It illustrates interiors of Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, St. James Palace, Kensington Palace, Hampton Court, Frogmore and Carlton House.
These colorful prints are presented in identical gold-colored wood frames with French mats. Two of the mats are peach-colored, another is a light peach-color and the fourth is a tan-color. They are all in very good condition.
The British people, and in fact most of the world, have long had a fascination with British royalty and their lifestyles. Pyne’s work is a wonderful pictorial record of some of the most important, interesting, and extravagant examples of British architecture, interior design, and decorative arts displayed in the British royal residences, which most people would never see in person. The prints were originally part of a three-volume set issued with the approval of the royal family. They were dedicated to Queen Charlotte, the Prince Regent and his brother Frederick, Duke of York, respectively. Prominent watercolorists, draftsmen and aquatint engravers contributed their talents to these publications. The publication and prints are held in several museums and collections, including: The Metropolitan Museum, The British Museum, The Yale Center for British Art and The Royal Collection.
William Henry Pyne was an English writer, illustrator and painter. He was trained at a drawing academy in London and first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1790. He excelled at topographical scenes, often including groups of people which were rendered in pen, ink and watercolor. He was a founder of the Old Water-Colour Society in 1804 but he later resigned when the group refused to to expand its membership to more than 24 artists. He collaborated with the well known publisher Rudolph Ackermann on several publications.

"Inside of a House in Nootka Sound" (Canada) from Captain Cook's 3rd Voyage
By John Webber
Located in Alamo, CA
"The Inside of a House in Nootka Sound" is an engraving created by William Sharp (1749-1824), from a drawing by John Webber (1752-1793), who was the artist on Captain James Cook's 3rd and final voyage of discovery. It is Plate 65 in "A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean Undertaken by the Command of His Majesty, for Making Discoveries in the Northern Hemisphere", the official British Admirality sanctioned journal published upon completion of the voyage in London in 1784 by Strahan & Cadell.
This engraving is presented in a Koa wood frame and a white mat. There are occasional tiny faint spots, but the print is otherwise in very good condition. Koa wood is legendary in Hawaii. Not only is this amazing wood native to Hawaii, but it is known for the deep rich colors and varied grain pattern. Koa has an honored heritage in Hawaii and is highly revered and sacred. The word “koa” means “warrior” in Hawaiian. The warriors of King Kamehameha the Great, created canoes and weapons from a wood plentiful on the Big Island of Hawaii. This wood became synonymous with the warriors themselves, and it became known as koa.
There are three other engravings listed form the official journal of Captain Cook's 3rd voyage available that are presented in identical Koa wood frames and mats. They would make a wonderful grouping for a display of 2, 3 or 4 prints. Please see listings: LU117324682432, LU117324684022, LU117324684062. A discount is available for a grouping depending on the number of items included.
Nootka Sound is on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It was explored by Captain Cook in 1778 after he discovered Hawaii during his 3rd voyage. He originally named it King George's Sound, but did record Nootka Sound, which he thought was its native name. Hawaii was originally called The Sandwich Islands in honor of The Earl of...

A Rare 19th Century Honore Daumier Caricature from the "Types Parisiens" Series
By Honoré Daumier

This is a rare 19th century satirical lithograph by Honoré-Victorin Daumier entitled "Types Parisiens, L'InstItuteur: Votre fils me fera honneur!....c'est un joli sujet!!!", No. 24 (Parisian Types, The Institutor: Your son will be my honor! ... it's a nice subject !!), published in Paris in the satirical magazine La Caricature, May 24, 1840 by Aubert et Cie.

Interiors IV : Hotel Paradise Cafe
By Peter Milton
Located in New York, NY
“INTERIORS IV : HOTEL PARADISE”
Contemporary artist Peter Milton created this etching and engraving in 1987. The printed Image size is 24 x 35.50 inches and the paper size is 30.75 x 41.75 inches. This impression is signed, dated, and titled in pencil, and inscribed “84/175” – the 84th impression of an edition of 175 pieces.
“I do love to draw. I feel that I am being granted membership in the Brotherhood of Merlin, conjuring forth some apparition. As a drawing develops, I sense a vague presence coming more and more into focus, something in a white fog emerging and becoming increasingly palpable.” – P. Milton, “The primacy of touch. The Drawings of Peter Milton”
“Working in layers, Milton begins with drawings based on people and places, with nods to Western art history and culture. He is a master of the appropriated image, a term that may conjure Andy Warhol and his Pop Art comrades. But Milton steps further back in history, avoiding the Pop sense of cool advertising and popular culture references. Instead, a broader cultural past is tapped through historical photographs of key players, architecture, and locales, which he reinvents by hand. He adds content drawn from his life as an avid reader – always with multiple possible interpretations – thus incorporating deeper meaning in his cinematic worlds. Elements of Greek mythology, classical music, art history, and history coalesce in his images, which embrace the messiness, sorrow, and elation that is life. One is hard-pressed to imagine a more erudite, skilled, passionate, and cheeky soul.” – T. L. Johnson and A. Shafer
Peter Milton was born in Pennsylvania in 1930. He studied for two years at the Virginia Military Institute...
