AN ANTIQUE PRINTED MAP BY W. F. MAYERS, London / Hong Kong 1867. MAP OF FOOCHOW. Lithograph uncoloured. William Frederick Mayers was one of a number of British Consular officials active in the major ports and towns in the Far East during the mid-nineteenth century.

This map shows in good detail the town of Foochow, Fuzhou in the Province of Fujian, situated on the east coast. Numbered and lettered keys identify 24 'Residences', ie important foreign trade offices, missions etc and 26 "Hong's" or marketplaces. 295 by 150mm (11.5 by 6 inches). Printed in light scarlet ink on thin rice paper with backing to old fold weakness but very acceptable.

* HANNAH FRANK (SCOTTISH 1908 - 2008), GARDEN (1932)lithograph on paper, signed in pencil, titled and dated 1932image size 31.5cm x 27.5cm, overall 44cm x 33cmUnframed. This lot includes a copy of the 2004 edition of the book Hannah Frank, A Glasgow Artist, Drawings and Sculpture.Note: Since McTear's first promoted Hannah Frank's spectacular work in 2011, the prices for her ever more rare signed prints have continued to rise with many current prices being more than five times higher than those achieved barely a decade ago. The latest UK auction record figure for a single signed lithograph was most recently achieved (twice) in our auction on 24th October 2021 and now stands at £820 (hammer). Note 2: Hannah Frank was the last living link to the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau period. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art and Glasgow University in the 1920`s and her haunting pen and ink drawings have been exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Scottish Academy and Royal Glasgow Institute. A series of lithographs of some of her 90 drawings were made in the 1960's and again in the 1980's to satisfy the demand for her work after exhibitions in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Only a relatively few of these prints were hand signed (in pencil) by Hannah and it's understood that only one print was ever editioned (numbered) in a conventional manner. A major exhibition at the Royal Glasgow Institute in 2006 brought her work to a new generation of admirers and received considerable press coverage. Her work toured for five years in the UK and the USA culminating in an exhibition at Glasgow University which opened on her 100th birthday 23rd August 2008. After her death, she was awarded a posthumous Honorary Doctorate at Glasgow University and Glasgow City Council`s Lord Provost`s Award For Art (2009).

WILLIAM SIMPSON (1823-1899) 'Sentinel of the Zouaves, before Sevastopol' a soldier standing guard at a French battery with snow-covered cannons and Zouaves carrying bundles of wood to a camp in the background, signed and dated 1855 lower right, watercolour over pencil, 23cm x 33.5cmThis work is the original study for the lithograph reproduced in Simpson's important work on the Crimean War 'The Seat of War in the East' (2 volumes, Colnaghi, 1855-6).Provenance: P & D Colnaghi The Maas GalleryPrivate Collection During the Crimean War, William Simpson became a pioneer war artist. Commissioned by the printsellers P & D Colnaghi, he recorded the naval battles in the Baltic Sea and then went on to Balaklava in November 1854 to make accurate sketches on the spot. The drawings which he made during that terrible winter were submitted to Lord Raglan, sent home to England, and shown to Queen Victoria by the Minister of War, the Duke of Newcastle. After the fall of Sevastopol he was attached to the Duke's party of exploration in Circassia. On his return to England, Simpson, complete with a brown beard long enough to button into his waistcoat, had an audience with the Queen, during which he showed her his sketches and was much impressed by her grasp of every detail of the war. Eighty of his Crimean drawings, including the lot offered here, were lithographed in 'The Seat of War in the East' which was dedicated with permission to Queen Victoria, whose patronage he enjoyed for the rest of his life. When the original watercolours were exhibited at Colnaghi's gallery, Lord Elcho and other MPs called for them to be bought by the nation as an historic record of the war. On the advice of Sir Charles Eastlake, this proposal was rejected and the watercolours were sold off separately.
WILLIAM SIMPSON (1823-1899) 'Pilgrims at Gangootree, 1862' signed and dated lower right, titled lower left, watercolour over pencil, 25cm x 34cmThis work is the original study for the lithograph reproduced in Simpson's important work on post-mutiny India 'India: Ancient and Modern'' (Day & Son, 1867).Provenance: Day & Son The Maas GalleryPrivate CollectionFamed for his pictures of the Crimean war theatre, Simpson was commissioned to illustrate a work on India that was to rival David Roberts's "Holy Land". He arrived in Calcutta in 1859 and joined the party of the Governor-General, Lord Canning, on a tour of the area where the mutiny had taken place. Over three years he visited much of the subcontinent, including the Himalayas, Kashmir, Ceylon, Tibet and its Buddhist temples, and upon his return submitted 250 watercolours to his publishers. However, in the wake of the Panic of 1866, the wealthy English patrons and subscribers on whom Day & Son had banked shrunk away from so costly an undertaking, and the publisher - already under pressure since cheaper wood engravings had turned chromolithographs into a luxury - issued a series of merely 50 chromolithographed plates. Simpson's original watercolours, much to the artist's chagrin, were ultimately sold off as bankrupt stock. The work remains a magnificent achievement, presenting a detailed and wide-ranging representation of India immediately after the Sepoy Rebellion. The Gangotri is the source of the River Ganges, sacred to Hindus who make pilgrimages to the icy waters that spring from the mouth of the Gangotri glacier in the high passes of the Himalayas. The actual source is a few kilometres from the town of Gangotri. According to popular Hindu legend, Goddess Ganga descended here when Lord Shiva released the mighty river from the locks of his hair.
