A Street Scene in the Chinese Quarter of San Francisco Published in 1870
Located in Langweer, NL
A Street Scene in the Chinese Quarter of San Francisco- Published in The Days' Doings, November 26, 1870.
Description: This hand-colored engraving, published in *The Days' Doings* on November 26, 1870, presents a vibrant and detailed view of daily life in the Chinese Quarter (Chinatown) of San Francisco during the late 19th century. The scene captures the bustling atmosphere of a narrow street, lined with wooden buildings, hanging laundry, and small businesses serving the local Chinese community.
The foreground features a man carrying two large baskets of produce, balanced on a pole over his shoulders. Behind him, people are seen engaging in various activities—gathering in groups, walking along the street, and conversing on balconies. A wooden sign reading "Tong Wo Doctor" can be seen on the left, advertising a local Chinese medicine shop, while another sign for "Sam Lee, Sam Sing" is displayed above a bridge-like structure connecting two buildings.
The narrow street, laundry lines, and multi-story wooden buildings with balconies give the scene a distinctly urban and immigrant quarter feel, reflecting the growing Chinese immigrant community in San Francisco during this time. The engraving captures both the vibrant energy of this neighborhood and the cultural exchanges occurring in the rapidly expanding city.
About the Publication and Technique:
*The Days' Doings* was a weekly illustrated newspaper that ran from 1870 to 1879, known for its sensationalist coverage of crime, scandals, and interesting stories from both America and Europe. It often depicted lively scenes from everyday life, such as this portrayal of San Francisco’s Chinatown, providing its audience with visual glimpses into different facets of society.
The engraving is produced using a wood engraving technique, where an image is carved into a block of wood for printing. Afterward, the image was hand-colored to add vibrancy to the bustling street scene. These prints were then mass-produced and circulated widely through publications like *The Days' Doings*.

Sparrows Amidst Blackberry Bushes - Vintage Giacomelli Ornithological Print
Located in Langweer, NL
Charming Sparrows Amidst Blackberry Bushes - Vintage Giacomelli Ornithological Print, circa 1891.
This exquisite print, titled "Les Mûres" (The Blackberries), showcases the delicate beauty of nature through the eyes of renowned French artist Hector Giacomelli. The artwork captures a serene moment in the underbrush, where two sparrows perch gently among lush green leaves and ripe blackberries. The intricate detailing of the birds and the surrounding foliage reflects Giacomelli's mastery in depicting avian life and natural settings.
Hector Giacomelli (1822–1904), a celebrated French watercolorist, engraver, and illustrator, was best known for his vivid and lifelike paintings of birds. His works, often inspired by the natural world around him, have been highly regarded for their detail, color, and emotional depth.
This print is a Farbdruck (color print), a technique involving the use of multiple colors to produce a richly detailed image. Likely created using chromolithography—a popular method at the time—this print brings out the vibrant greens of the leaves and the deep reds and purples of the blackberries with striking clarity and realism.
The print dates to 1891, part of a series by Giacomelli that focused on birds and their natural habitats. Measuring approximately 32 by 23.5 cm, the print features wide white margins, which, though slightly browned and stained with age, serve to frame the artwork beautifully.
The print was likely published in France, where Giacomelli lived and worked, and where his art was widely appreciated.
As with many of Giacomelli's prints from this era, this artwork was likely produced in a limited edition, making it a prized piece for collectors of ornithological art. The exact number of prints made is unknown, but given its age and condition, it would be a valued item in any collection.
The print shows typical signs of aging, with some browning and slight staining on the margins. However, the central image remains vivid, capturing the viewer's attention with its lifelike portrayal of sparrows amidst the blackberry bushes.
This print, like others in the series, exemplifies Giacomelli's dedication to capturing the beauty of nature, making it a wonderful addition to any collection of vintage art...

An Egyptian revival bronze wall hanging of Horus, Berlin Foundry - late 19th C
Located in London, GB
Exquisite decorative architectural element, a wall hanging of generous scale. Sand cast bronze, with old verdigris patination and painstaking detail to the composition, the scales and twin heads of Horus. The energy expressed in beautiful coiled, tensile form. Bronze castings have a long tradition in Berlin, the most renown being the Aktien-Gesellschaft Gladenbeck that operated from 1851 until 1926. Horus, a god in the form of a falcon whose right eye was the sun or morning star, representing power and quintessence, and whose left eye was the moon or evening star, representing healing. Falcon cults, which were in evidence from late predynastic times, were widespread in Egypt. This coiled serpent form is equally reminiscent of Nehebkau a primordial snake god in ancient Egyptian mythology. Ultimately considered a powerful, benevolent and protective deity, he is described as a companion of the sun god Re.
