Leon Rene Pescheret Art

American, 1892-1971

An illustrator, watercolorist, etcher, architect, writer, teacher and designer, Leon Pescheret was born in Chiswick, England. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Royal College of Engraving in Kensington, England. He learned the art of one-plate color etchings in Belgium, and at that time was believed to be the only etcher in the United States using that method. He was a member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the American Color Print Society, the Society of American Printmakers and the Printmaker's Society of California. Pescheret exhibited with the Buck Hills Art Association in 1948 and 1949, the Southern Printmakers' Society in 1936 and 1937, winning prizes both years, the Chicago Galleries Association in 1951, the Chicago Society of Etchers in 1935, where he won a prize and also at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC in 1936. He was the recipient of the Lila Mae Chapman Award in 1936 and 1937, and the Grand Central Galleries Award. Pescheret's work is included in numerous museum collections, including Art Institute of Chicago, British Museum, Cabinet du Roi, Brussels, Cabinet des Estampes, Brussels, Library of Congress, National Collection of Fine Arts, Washington, DC, New York Public Library, University of Michigan Museum of Art, MI, Whistler House Museum, MA and Wright Museum of Art, WI.

Silver Rock Melon: A Framed 19th C. Color Engraving by George Brookshaw
By George Brookshaw
Located in Alamo, CA
This is a 19th century colored aquatint and stipple engraving finished by hand entitled "Silver Rock Melon", drawn and engraved by George Brookshaw and published in London in 1812 as plate 67 in his 'Pomona Britannica; or, A Collection of the Most Esteemed Fruits'. It depicts a Silver Rock Melon still on the vine, but the melon lies on a heater green mat. A wedge of the melon has been dissected to reveal its inner anatomy, including the seeds. The melon skin is a heather and light green color, while the inner portions are a light peach color. The vine and leaves are shown attractive shades of light green and there are soft yellow flowers. The plant is displayed on a light brown textured background with shadows to impart 3-dimensionality. The scene is reminiscent of an engraving in an 18th century artistically stylized human anatomy atlas. There are wide white margins. The title and inscription lies within the lower border. This striking engraving is presented in a reddish brown decorative wood frame with a darker brown scroll-work outer trim and a gold-colored inner fillet and a thick heather green mat. The frame measures 25.75" high, 21.5" wide and 1.13" deep. It is glazed with UV conservation glass. There is a short thin vertical line of discoloration in the lower margin through the word "melon" and a tiny spot in the upper margin on the left. The print and frame are otherwise in excellent condition. There is a second Brookshaw engraving that is framed in identical moulding, although a slightly different size and a different color mat. t depicts a cluster of grapes. The two prints would make a striking display pairing...
