Show morePlates include views of Constantinople and its surroudings, some costume subjects and, curiously enough, various forms of Turkish transport by Jean Brindesi, an Italian painter who worked primarily as a watercolour artist in Istanbul, during the Abdul-Majid period (1831-1861). He worked on scenes involving Ottoman soldiers. Two albums of lithographs after his drawings were produced by Lemercier in Paris: Elbicei Atika – Musee des Anciens Costumes Turcs de Constantinople, 1855, and Souvenirs de Constantinople, 1860; these two works are collections of picturesque views of the city of Constantinople. The originals are kept at the Istanbul Topkapı Palace Museum and at the University of Istanbul. While the first album represents the government and military dignitaries, the second one captures the atmosphere of day-to-day life in Istanbul through quaint and lively depictions. Title from item, date devised. Oblong folio, no letterpress, tinted lithograph title + 20 tinted lithograph plates printed in colours, original purple decorative cloth gilt, purple leather backstrip.

Show moreJean Cocteau was a French poet, painter and filmmaker. This drawing was probably a preparatory work for the decoration of the chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Jérusalem (Our Lady of Jerusalem), a Catholic chapel of the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon. At the origin of the chapel is Louis Martinon, a banker from Nice who wanted a private chapel for the inhabitants of the Tour de Mare district of Fréjus, a 1,200-hectare housing estate that he imagined as an "ideal city" to house a population of artists. In 1962, Martinon commissioned Jean Cocteau to design the decoration of the chapel. Cocteau was assisted by the architect Jean Triquenot, painter Raymond Moretti and ceramist Roger Pelissier. The foundation stone was laid on 24 February 1963 but the unexpected death of the poet on 11 October 1963 interrupted the work. Cocteau's adopted son Édouard Dermit transferred on the cement walls the 150 sketches left by Cocteau and realized the frescoes with the help of charcoal and oil color pencils. Title from item, date devised by Library staff. The drawing is titled and signed by the author. Main Heritage Compact General HC.GM.2020.0026 2-D Graphic Item-ID: i26127970 BIB-ID: 2746010 Show less
