Alexandre Calame (aka Alexandre Calam; Alexandre Calamy) (1810–1864)
“L'Étude du Paysage: No. 113” and “L'Étude du Paysage: No. 154”,
1850, published and printed in a series of 272 lithographs, “L'Étude du Paysage”,
by François Delarue (fl. 1850s–1860s) in Paris and also published in
London by Moore, Mc Queen & Co (1816–1956), in the second of two
volumes in “Collection de modèles élémentaires et gradués formant un cours
complet autographié d'après nature” ([transl.] Collection
of elementary and graduated models forming a complete autographed after nature
course) in 1850 (see https://digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/calame1850).
Lithographs printed in black ink on heavy wove paper
with full margins as published.
Size: (sheet) 26 x 34.9 cm.
Both sheets are signed in the stone by the artist and
lettered with publication details: (upper left) “Autographié d'après nature.”; (lower
left) “A Calame/ Paris, FRANÇOIS DELARUE, 18, rue J.J. Rousseau.”; (lower
centre) “L'ÉTUDE DU PAYSAGE/ par A. Calame”; (lower right) “London, Moore, Mc.
Queen & Co., 25 Berners St. Oxf. St.”
Plate 113 is lettered in the stone: (upper right) “No.113”;
(lower right) “Imp. Fois Delarue, Paris”.
Plate 154 is lettered in the stone: (upper right) “No.154.”;
(lower centre) “Imp. Fois Delarue, 8 rue Larrey, Paris”.
Condition: strong and well-printed impressions with
full margins in pristine condition (i.e., there are no tears, holes, folds, abrasions,
stains, foxing or signs of handling).
I am selling these very beautiful lithograph landscapes—presumably
from around Savoie (the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region) or possibly the Swiss Alps—designed
as drawing models for students to hone their technical skills, for AU$210 in total for
the pair (currently US$156.95/EUR134.96/GBP113.80 at the time of posting this
print) including postage and handling to anywhere in the world, but not (of
course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries.
If you are interested in purchasing this pair of
sensitively rendered scenes where even the shadows are luminous, please contact
me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal invoice to
make the payment easy.
