FRUIT FOR SALE
By Frances H. Gearhart
Located in Santa Monica, CA
FRANCES H. GEARHART and Sisters (THE GEARHARTS)
FRUIT FOR SALE c.1928
Color block print. Unsigned. This is an original block print from “Let’s Play”, an intended but unpublished children’s book done in collaboration with her sisters Edna and May in 1928. Image 8 x 7 inches. On a tissue thin laid paper. Irregular sheet 9 3/8 x 8 1/2. The entire series consisted of over 20 children's images.
There were very few printed. The editions of the various children varied but likely no more than 50. This impression very well printed with good colors, Very good condition. The margins are likely as issued with the irregular edges. The margins and paper used for this series varies from one print to the next. A bit of tape remnants at top center sheet edge. A very nice example of this print.
It is not unusual for impressions of this series to be unsigned, although many are signed "The Gearharts"
The Provenance of this example is fascinating. It was acquired from a gentleman who knew the Gearharts as a child in the early 50's in Pasadena. It was part of a collection given to him by Frances. In his adult years he was in the military and took the collection with him as he traveled around Europe,
After 81 years, based on the original prints, this book was published by

Feuille montée sur vélin. Manque important en pied, atteignant la pointe de la veste du photographe. Quelques très légères et fines griffures en surface. Au dos du montage : 3 gravures anciennes, et marque de collection mauve, « L. BONGARD » (lugt non décrit).
Épreuve sur papier salé, d’après un négatif papier ciré sec.
Numéroté « 540 » dans le négatif, dans l’angle supérieur gauche.
Marque des étaux bien visibles dans le négatif, dans l’angle supérieur droit, et dans l’angle inférieur gauche.
De toute rareté.
Une seule autre épreuve connue :
Pierre Bergé & Associés, vente du 19 mars 2015, lot n°101.
La mission héliographique :
Au mois de mai 1851, Gustave Le Gray est délégué par la commission des Monuments historiques pour photographier une liste de monuments remarquables du sud-ouest de la France. D’autres figures pionnières de la photographie participent à cette vaste campagne de recensement, et doivent couvrir le reste du pays : Hippolyte Bayard, Henri Le Secq, Édouard Baldus et Auguste Mestral. Le Gray décide de fusionner son itinéraire avec celui de son élève et ami, Auguste Mestral. Entre juillet et octobre 1851, équipé d’une voiture et de deux chambres noires, le tandem sillonne le territoire de la Loire aux Pyrénées, du château de Chambord à la cité de Carcassonne. Les deux hommes, qui se connaissent depuis 1848, réalisent ensemble les prises de vue - et se présenteront d’ailleurs en tant que coauteurs devant la commission.
Un champ d’expérimentation
Pour Gustave Le Gray, qui vient de mettre au point le « négatif papier ciré sec », la mission héliographique est un champ d’expérimentation inespéré. Pendant trois mois, les photographes exécutent jusqu’à trente prises de vue par jour, une véritable prouesse rendue possible par l’invention de Le Gray. En effet, celle-ci dispense de maintenir humides les négatifs papier, facilitant considérablement le travail en extérieur. Les feuilles peuvent être préparées jusqu’à quinze jours à l’avance, et développées plusieurs heures après la prise de vue. « Tout le monde comprendra combien ce nouveau procédé facilite les opérations en voyage », écrit Le Gray. Méthodiques, les deux hommes numérotent les négatifs dans l’ordre chronologique.
Cette numérotation, allant jusqu’à 605, témoigne d’une production soutenue et indépendante, débordant largement le cadre imposé par la commission des monuments historiques.
Progressivement, le recensement scientifique s’accompagne de véritables digressions artistiques. Entre leur séjour à Carcassonne – point culminant du voyage – et leur retour à Paris, les « photographistes » s’autorisent de nombreux clichés personnels : des vues d’Amélie les Bain, du Pont Palaldas et du pont du Gard. Dans les Pyrénées-Orientales, les cloîtres gothiques d’Elne et d’Arles-sur-tech servent d’écrin à deux autoportraits de Gustave Le Gray. Le premier, réalisé à Elne, est aujourd’hui en mains privées (nous n’en avons trouvé aucune reproduction dans la littérature). Le second, pris très peu de temps après, n’est connu pour l’heure que par deux épreuves, dont celle que nous présentons.
Un manifeste artistique
Vêtu d’un costume noir de ville, Le Gray pose sous une arche gothique, jambes croisées et cigarette à la main. La blancheur insolente des guêtres, du chapeau et du col, accroche irrésistiblement l’œil du spectateur, et rehausse l’austère architecture médiévale d’une touche de modernité et de dandysme. L’élégance et la familiarité subtile de la mise en scène rappellent, dans leur esprit, d’autres portraits de Le Gray, habitué de compositions libres et volontiers énigmatiques – nous pensons ici à son fantomatique Autoportrait dans le miroir de la table de toilette de la duchesse de Parme, réalisé la même année, où le photographe parvient à capter son ombre fuyante dans un miroir.
Contrairement à ses pairs, Le Gray s’est peu consacré au portrait, lui préférant le paysage. Il en a cependant maîtrisé tous les codes, et signé d’authentiques chefs-d’œuvre en la matière : citons ici le portrait rêveur et mélancolique du dramaturge Edmond Cottinet (1849), et celui du sculpteur Auguste Clésinger (1855), d’une vigueur éblouissante, qui fut longtemps donné à son élève Félix Nadar...

Japanese Beauties Enjoy a Full Moon
By Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III)
Located in Burbank, CA
"Sun, Moon and Stars". Three beauties enjoy a full moon on the veranda of a teahouse or restuarant. The woman on the left kneels and adjusts her lavishly printed kimono. The beauty in the center has her hair down, and behind her is a screen against which shadows are beautifully silhouetted, which adds an air of mystery. The seated woman on the right is perhaps a geisha, as we see a shamisen lying next to her. Before her is a tray with an assortment of foods. One may surmise that the beauties are being compared to the sun, the moon, and the stars. On the left we glimpse a full moon shining over the peaceful bay, and boats at harbor. Original first edition Japanese color woodblock print triptych...
