Irma Stern. PORTRAIT OF MARIE-ELIZE. signed and dated 1954. gouache on paper. Provenance:. a gift from the artist, thence by decent. Note: The painting is accompanied by letters written by Irma Stern to the sitter. The portrait of Marie-Elize Siebritz is executed in Irma Stern’s unique expressionistic style capturing the sitter’s attractive, inquisitive expression. Irma Stern befriended Ms Siebritz and from a collection of personal correspondence written to Siebritz it is clear that Stern enjoyed Siebritz’ company. Ms Siebritz hailed from Paarl, a journalist with the Cape Times, was appointed to Reuter’s Parliamentary Staff in 1935 and later became their chief editor. Besides being an athlete and serving on several sports associations, she was also the first woman dirt track racer in South Africa. Ms Siebritz was the aunt of the current owner of the portrait and as executor of her estate, he inherited the gouache painting together with letters written by Irma Stern. The warm friendship which existed between the two pioneering friends comes to the fore from a passage in Stern’s letter dated November 19th, 1954: “My dear Siebritz, I have arrived safely and before I do a thing want to thank you for the nicest day of this trip – the day to the Mapocho’s (sic), such a lovely care free trip and so much fun and then to crown it all the most beautiful Photos.” The letter further discusses a work of Stern’s in which Ms Siebritz showed an interest and ends with “So keep well and forgive me not seeing you yesterday but I was like an owl so tired. love to you Irma Stern”. 62 by 50cm. Comments/Condition:. not laid down, minor abrasions, minor paint losses, otherwise good

North American Diary. My Diary in America, March 4 to August 30, A.D. 1871, a photographically illustrated diary, written up in a neat fair hand by an unidentified Lancashire (?cotton) merchant, possibly ‘A. Dykes’, with three pages of proposed route, 174 pages of diary on ruled paper (approx. 40,000 words), the diary illustrated with 234 mounted mostly small-format albumen print photos (the majority 7.5 x 7.5 cm and similar, the largest 13.5 x 18.5 cm), the diary ending with four pages of actual route taken and eight pages relating to later Alpine Expeditions made by the same author between 1872 and 1874, the American journey starting with the voyage from Liverpool to New York on boar The Algeria, then from New York to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Charleston, Savannah, Atlanta, Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans, Killona, Vicksburg, Jackson, Memphis, Bowling Green, Louisville, Cincinnati, Denver, Georgetown, San Francisco, Calistoga, Modesto, Flornitos, White & Flatch, Yosemite Valley, Coulterville, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Ogden, Chicago, Niagara Falls, Kingston, Montreal, Quebec, Whitehall, Fort William, Saratoga, Albany, New York, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Merrion, Cape May, Long Branch, Newport, Boston, etc., some spotting, a.e.g., contemp. crushed red morocco gilt with gilt decorated spine, slightly rubbed, folio (31.5 x 20 cm). The long trip of nearly six months is partly centred on leisure with much socialising, theatre-going, buffalo hunting, and meetings with relatives, friends and fellow British travellers. However, with a series of letters of introduction, the unidentified traveller does get to meet dignitaries, businessmen, librarians, museum curators, senators and even President Ulysses S. Grant himself: ‘Wednesday April 5 : ‘The [Smithsonian Institute] building stands in the centre of a small park, at noon I called upon Judge Barringer who accompanied me to the White House and presented me to the President. General Grant is proverbially a man of few words so that very little passed between us beyond the usual hand shaking process. He welcomed me to the country, hoped I should have pleasant time and I thanked and congratulated him upon the late Republican triumphs in Connecticut to which the sentiment he responded in suitable terms, and I then withdrew, in personal appearance General Grant is a short thick set man, wearing a closely cropped beard & moustache & during our interview was smoking his historical cigar. I called upon Mr Summer and Mr Bayard and in the afternoon I walked up to the Capitol, but as the old Ku Klux story was still going on I remained only a short time. In the evening I dined with Mr Saville…‘. Other incidents described in the early part of the diary include calling upon Mr Victor with a letter from Mr Belcher of Liverpool, calling upon Mr Houghton with a letter from Richardson, Spence & Co. of Liverpool, calling upon Messrs. Lea, his uncle’s agents in New York; going over the print works at Schuylhill; going over his uncle’s mill with Tom at Morristown; going to the Senate and listening to General Blair making a speech on the Ku Klux Klan Bills. While much of the writing is fairly perfunctory, the author occasionally adds in some local colour concerning his thoughts on indigenous people and workers, religion (including Mormons at Salt Lake City), plus architecture, scenery, politics, etc. The photographs are largely taken from life and show views of places mentioned in the text, plus carte-de-visite size portraits of dignitaries and North American natives.
