- 1900S ARCHITECTURAL ETCHINGS BY J. PENNELL,
1900S ARCHITECTURAL ETCHINGS BY J. PENNELL, R. LOGANJoseph Pennell (American, 1860-1926). "Stock Exchange" etching, ca. 1904. Hand signed in pencil at lower center. Hand titled in pencil at lower right. AND Robert Fulton Logan (Canadian-American, 1889-1959). "Church of Notre Dame, Dijon" etching w/ drypoint, 1926. Hand signed and numbered 17/100 in pencil below. A stunning etching of the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street with many people in the street surrounded by tall buildings created by Joseph Pennell. According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (where one may also find "The Stock Exchange" etching - accession number 24.90.1339) Pennell printed 90 proofs before destroying the plate for this composition. One of the best known and respected American artists from the etching revival period, Pennell was an etcher, lithographer, illustrator, as well as an author. Size of Pennell (w/o matte): 12.25" L x 7.75" W (31.1 cm x 19.7 cm)
Joining Pennell's etching is an etching w/ drypoint by Canadian-born Robert Logan. Logan created this etching of the Church of Notre-Dame in Dijon, France in 1926. By employing both etching and drypoint techniques, Fulton could depict both the rain on the upper right as well as the dramatic shafts of light gracing the side view of the church. Widely regarded as a Gothic masterpiece, The Church of Notre-Dame in Dijon, France was begun ca. 1230. Hundreds of years later, between 1865 and 1884, Parisian architect Jean Charles Laisne restored the church, returning it to its original splendor by removing later additions, re-establishing the tower at the crossing as a lantern tower, and recreating damaged sculpture. Notre Dame, Dijn is among Robert Fulton Logan's greatest and largest etchings. It was both printed and published in Paris in a single signed limited edition of 100 impressions in 1926. Logan's extensive drypointing in the foreground to create dramatic depth and shadow as well as his skillful architectural etching makes this composition stand out as a masterwork. Size of Logan (image w/o margins): 18.625" L x 10" W (47.3 cm x 25.4 cm)
Born in Philadelphia, Joseph Pennell trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and at the Pennsylvania School of Industrial Art, and later he taught at the National Academy and the Art Students League in New York City. From 1883, Pennell spent most of his time in Europe, until 1917 when he moved back permanently to the United States. Over his distinguished and prolific career, he won many medals and awards in the United States and in Europe, and he is considered one of the great etching innovators of the time. Among his achievements, Pennell illustrated and authored many books, contributed to leading magazines, and was one of the founders of the Philadelphia Society of Etchers.
Robert Fulton Logan is widely respected as one of America's greatest architectural etchers of the early twentieth century, however he was actually a Canadian expatriate, living first in France and later in the United States. Logan began his artistic training under Frank Armington in Winnipeg. When he was 16, Logan enrolled at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts where he studied painting under Edmund Tarbell and etching under Frank Benson. Following this, he completed his artistic education at the Chicago Art Institute. Logan traveled to France during WWI as an officer of the US Navy. After the war, he became a director at the Bellevue Art Training Center in Paris and taught art classes at the Louvre. Logan would live and work in Paris nearly 20 years. Over the course of his career, Robert Fulton Logan created more than 100 architectural etchings of locations in France, Germany and Holland. His first significant solo exhibition was held at the American Chamber of Commerce, Paris in 1922. Following this, he had annual exhibitions at the Galerie Marcel Guiot. Upon returning to the US in 1934, Logan became the Chairman of the Department of Art at Connecticut College, where he remained until he retired in 1954. Logan was member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the National Arts Club, and the Societe Internationale De La Gravure Originale en Noir. His etchings may be found in the esteemed collections of the British Museum, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Cambridge University, the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, the Museum of Luxembourg, the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, the Library of Congress in Washington DC, and the Smithsonian Museum.

- Y RARE AND IMPORTANT FRENCH GOTHIC IVORY
Y RARE AND IMPORTANT FRENCH GOTHIC IVORY COMPOSITE CASKET
CIRCA 1330 the panels intricately carved in bas-relief to include scenes from the Medieval tales Queste del Saint Graal and Tristan & Isolde, with later brass brackets, straps and handle25cm wide, 11cm high, 13cm deepProvenance: Property from Tornaveen House, AberdeenshireCurrently only eight other complete secular ivory coffrets like the present one are known. These so-called composite caskets are mostly in important museum collections around the world.[1] With all panels intricately carved in bas-relief, the high quality of the workmanship is immediately visible, while a closer look reveals the richness of the motifs. It gives us a beautiful insight into the medieval fascination with the concept of courtly love.The present example likely originated in a workshop in Paris around 1330, due to the similarities with the existing ones. The exact meaning behind the iconological programs of these caskets has long been a subject for discussion between scholars.One thing the panels on all these caskets have in common is the link to medieval courtly literature, tales of love usually between knights and noble ladies emphasising nobility and chivalry, popular in Europe since around the time of the First Crusade in 1099. On this coffret, the two main tales the panels relate to are most likely Tristan and Isolde, and the Queste del saint grail.[2]The two panels on the right side probably refer to the famous medieval romance, Tristan and Isolde. This tale, based on a Celtic legend, centres around the young knight Tristan, who travels to Ireland to ask for the hand of princess Isolde on behalf of his uncle King Mark of Cornwall. After slaying a dragon there, the princess agrees to marry King Mark. On the journey back Tristan and Isolde drink the love potion prepared by the queen for her daughter and King Mark and fall for each other. The main part of the romance is focussed on King Mark trying to prove their secret love affair and punishing them.Although this legend has been retold many times, one of the most popular ones is the version by Béroul, a Norman or Breton poet of the 12th century. According to his account, King Mark asks King Arthur to try his wife Isolde at court for her unfaithfulness. To have Isolde exonerated from the charges, she and Tristan concoct a clever ruse. Tristan disguises himself convincingly as a poor leper, begging for alms on the banks of the river Malpas. When the royal party arrives, he carries her across the river, so Isolde can truthfully swear in front of the court that “no man ever came between my thighs except the leper who carried me on his back across the ford and my husband, King Mark”. This oath was seemingly so convincing, that everyone hearing it applauded it, and King Arthur made Mark promise to never slander her again.The front left panel shows Tristan carrying Isolde across the river, her headdress clearly indicating she is a married woman. After Isolde is safe, Tristan dresses up as the Black Knight and joins the jousting, a scene represented on the left end panel of the casket.The carvings on the front right and right end panel allude to another preeminent story, the Queste del saint grail, the story of the fabled Holy Grail, part of the Arthurian Legend. It begins at King Arthur’s court with a gathering of the well-known Knights of the Round Table. Just before dinner a sword in a stone appears miraculously floating in the river below the castle. Lancelot’s claims that whoever tries to remove the weapon will be gravely wounded does not deter his companions eager for adventure. Only the recently arrived Galahad can withdraw the sword, which he uses to achieve the quest for the grail.The carving next to the lock on the right of a man presenting his arm with severed hand to a king and queen probably relates to this, he having failed to retrieve the sword and receiving this grisly injury in trying so. The sword over the altar on the right end panel possibly refers to the divine and miraculous nature of the weapon Galahad obtained. The scene on the right end could either show the appearance of the grail just after Arthur, Galahad, and the knights of the Round Table sit down to eat, or when Galahad and his companions finally encounter the grail at the end of the story, or a conflation of the two. That the figure in the middle of the right end panel lacks a crown suggests that he is Galahad and not Arthur. The lions shown on the lid support this identification, as the grail castle was guarded by lions and surrounded by water.The wild men presented in intricate detail fighting to conquer a castle on the lid, and again defeated and in chains on the back panel, are a very popular motif in medieval imagery, ubiquitously represented in art of the highest quality from the early 14th century and continuing well into the sixteenth century[3]. Wild men represented the opposite of accepted standards of society, subliminally implying chaos, insanity and ungodliness. Especially in the 14th century the wild men seem to take on an erotic role, seen storming the Castle of Love in several artworks, one of the most common allegorical scenes in which the winning of a lady’s heart is depicted as the siege of a castle[4]. The carving on this coffret actually is reminiscent of the so-called Academy Casket (see image 1), now lost.[5]Unusual on this panel is the wild man wearing a crown. There are some wild men wearing crowns in 15th century German tapestries (image 2), but we don’t have an explanation why the carver added one in this case.The overall iconography of this casket seems to confirm the general notion that they were made as courting or wedding gifts for noble ladies, personalised to the commissioner’s preferences, as all the panels include notions of love and chivalry, to perhaps represent wishes for the future relationship especially important to the suitor. These very personal meanings have been lost to time, yet make this coffret extraordinarily intriguing.Another element making this casket so significant is the impeccable provenance. We can trace it all the way back to the beginning of the 17th century, as it is mentioned in the family genealogy of the Baird family of Auchmedden[6] in relation to Thomas Baird[7]. According to this text, he became a friar of a monastery in Besançon, Burgundy, in 1615. Letters from his uncle Andrew, who was staying close by in France, to his father Gilbert mention him to be hard of learning and ‘incapable of any of the sciences’. His saving grace was said to being excellent at mechanics, having made ‘an oblong, small chest of ivory 10 inches long, 5 broad, and 4 high, delicately carved in bas-relief, with the chisel, upon the top and sides into figures of knight-errants, distrest [sic] damsels, and enchanted castles, taken from some of the old romances which were so much in vogue in that age’.None of the letters later on in the genealogy indicate as to why the author thinks the casket was made by Thomas Baird, and not just sent over to his family as a gift. We don’t know if it was Thomas himself trying to make up for his shortcomings as a scholar by telling his family he was the talented maker, or if this is down to family lore evolving over the centuries. The casket would have already been nearly 300 years old at the time of Thomas’ acquisition.A footnote in the genealogy places the casket in the editor W. N. Fraser’s possession in 1870, which gives us the firm link to the present-day vendors, who are descendants by marriage of the Baird family.[1] Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 17.190.173, 1988, 16; British Museum, London, Dalton 386; Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 146.1866; Walters Museum, Baltimore, 71.264; Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Birmingham; Bargello, Florence, 123 c.; Cathedral Treasury, Krakow; Winnipeg Art Gallery[2] Thanks to Paula Mae Carns for identifying the various iconography[3] Timothy Husband, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gloria Gilmore-HouseMetropolitan Museum of Art, 1980, p. 4[4] Timothy Husband, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gloria Gilmore-HouseMetropolitan Museum of Art, 1980, p. 73[5] The location of all panels from this dismantled casket is unknown, apart from the back panel which is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (2003.131.2).

AAG is not responsible for any errors or omissions to any lots. All sales are final and sold as is. In house shipping is not available on this lot, please contact one of our third party shippers for a quote. According to Winnipeg Art Gallery, German immigrants Theo and Susan Harlander established the Brooklin Pottery studio in 1952 in Brooklin, Ontario, introducing a continental approach to the field of Canadian studio production. They specialized in custom-ordered household items. Theo would throw the pieces on the wheel and Susan decorated them with freehand sgraffito patterns, designs incised or scratched through the slip or glaze to the earthenware ground. The incised designs on Harlander pieces wrap effortlessly around the vessel form, displaying Susan’s exceptional understanding of design aesthetics. The Harlanders added new breadth to early Canadian studio pottery, introducing a distinct modernist, design-centric style that contrasted with the more common yet well-executed functional wares (such as those influenced by Bernard Leach and the early British studio pottery movement) made during this time period.
