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 BoatBy Masami TeraokaLocated in Studio City, CAA 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).

- Antique 1755 Copperplate Engraving Westminster Bridge Lambeth Survey of LondonLocated in Dayton, OHAntique hand colored riverscape / landscape copperplate engraving based on a painting by Jacob Maurer and engraved by Paul Fourdrinier - A View of Westminster Bridge from Lambeth, published according to Act of Parliament 1754 for Stowe’s Survey of London. BIO: Paul Fourdrinier sometimes referred to as Peter or Pierre Fourdrinier, was an 18th Century engraver in England. Paul Fourdrinier, engraver and printseller, was born on 20 December 1698 in Groningen in the Netherlands, the son of Jacques Fourdrinier and his wife, Jeanne Theroude, Huguenot refugees from Dieppe, Normandy. He was a pupil of Bernard Picart at Amsterdam for six years, and came to England in 1720. He was employed in engraving portraits and book illustrations. He also engraved two works by Peter Monamy, marine paintings displayed in Vauxhall Gardens. The engravings were published in 1743, but may have been executed earlier. Starting in 1742 Fourdrinier produced a series of books consisting of numerous folding charts showing "The Succession of Colonels to all his Majesties Land Forces from their Rise to 1742", as well as many other details of British military and naval personnel. The 2004 edition of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography makes it clear that in the 19th century edition of the Dictionary of National Biography this engraver's works and career were assigned to two individuals, Peter (or Pierre) and Paul Fourdrinier. Peter/Pierre is now seen to be a fictitious individual resulting from an accidental misnaming of Paul. Paul Fourdrinier is mentioned as the engraver of some of the works listed above, and he has been identified with the Paul Fourdrinier who was of the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, married to Susanna Grolleau, and who died in January or February 1758. The couple had at least five children, including a son Henry Fourdrinier, whose daughter, or granddaughter, Jemima Fourdrinier was the mother of Cardinal John Henry Newman...Category
