Antique Copperplate Print of Ayutthaya, 'View of Siam and Various Boats', 1751
About the Item
An original engraving featuring a view of Siam, which is present-day Thailand, specifically a view of the city of Ayutthaya with numerous boats depicted on the river. The title, "Vuë de Siam et divers balons," translates from French to "View of Siam and Various Boats."
This image shows a bustling river scene, a key aspect of Ayutthaya, which was known for its extensive waterways and trade. The boats, or "balons," are of various sizes and likely represent the diverse commercial and daily activities that took place along the river. The presence of numerous boats suggests the importance of river traffic and trade to the city's economy and culture.
In the background, the cityscape is detailed with buildings that reflect the architectural style of the period. The foreground features a prominent pagoda or stupa, which is a typical element in Buddhist architecture, signifying the religious significance of the location. The array of structures likely includes palaces, temples, and defensive walls, illustrating Ayutthaya's status as a significant urban center.
The engraving comes from the "Histoire Générale des Voyages," a comprehensive travel account published in Paris by Didot, which held royal approval and privilege. This print would be part of a series that illustrated various accounts of voyages and discoveries from around the world, aimed at a European audience eager for knowledge about distant lands.

Masami Teraoka Signed Limited Print New Views of Mt. Fuji, Sinking Pleasure Boat
By Masami Teraoka
Located in Studio City, CA
A very large and wonderfully detailed screen print by Asian/ Japanese American artist Masami Teraoka titled "New Views of Mt. Fuji: Sinking Pleasure Boat" is based on his original 1976-77 painting by the same name.
The print is numbered in pencil at the lower edge (63/75), blind-stamped and dated (1977) at the upper right, sealed by Teraoka with his personal stamps/seals within the image, and likely hand-signed on verso (we have not removed the artwork from the frame but this is most likely the case). The work was printed on Rives BFK paper by Ron McPherson and Julie McPherson, and published by Space Gallery, Los Angeles, CA.
Masami Teraoka has had over 70 solo exhibitions and he has twice been honored by the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York. He has also received two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. His works can be found in collections and museums around the world including:
The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington D. C.; the Honolulu Museum of Art, Hawaii; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the National Portrait Gallery, Washington D.
