GRAND TOUR 1869-1881. WATERCOLOUR ALBUM BY AN ENGLISH VOYAGER AND TOURIST.

Em fólio pequeno (32x26 cm) com 36 folhas contendo 36 aguarelas e guaches, as maiores com cerca de 16x25 cm e umas mais pequenas com cerca de 9x15 cm. As pinturas foram primeiramente colocadas em folhas ligeiramente maiores e têm legendas em inglês (excepto duas), tendo sido depois colocadas nas folhas do álbum.

Álbum de aguarelas e guaches de um inglês que retrata uma década de Grand Tour de viagens no Extremo Oriente e viagens na Europa (nomeadamente o Sul da Índia, o Monte Sinai, o Cabo Guardafui na Somália, a Ilha de Man, vistas da Escócia e uma série de vistas dos Alpes suíços e da Riviera Francesa. 1869-1881.

A primeira sequência é de uma viagem da Índia para a Escócia, que teve lugar em 1869-1870 e começou no sul da Índia. As primeiras aguarelas, datadas de 27 de Outubro de 1869, mostram vistas de Tellicherry (Thalassery) e Cannonore (Kannur) na costa de Malabar, no sudoeste da Índia.

Em Maio de 1870, o artista estava na sua viagem para a Europa através do Mar Vermelho, que é ilustrada com uma vista de um nascer do sol sobre o Monte Horeb (Sinai) e duas vistas do Cabo Guardafui na Somália. Uma das legendas refere que esta viagem foi efectuada a bordo do S.S. Hooghly, um navio da famosa companhia marítima francesa Messagerie Impériale, fundada em 1851 e especializada em viagens de França para a Índia, Ceilão e Sudeste Asiático através do Canal do Suez. Esta foi uma muito precoce viagem através do Canal do Suez, uma vez que o canal só tinha sido concluído em Novembro de 1869.

O álbum contém depois vistas do Verão de 1870, incluindo uma bela panorâmica de Tivoli, através da Campagna italiana (Junho) e toda uma série de vistas do Noroeste de Inglaterra e da Escócia, pintadas em Agosto: paisagens marítimas da Ilha de Man e da Ilha de Eigg a partir de Roshven; Kirkcudbright a partir da margem de Senwick; uma vista do Loch Katrine na Ilha de Ellens; uma imagem de um hotel em Patterdale com o monte Helvellyn ao fundo; e uma extensa descrição manuscrita das actividades do artista nesse local. Seguem-se quatro vistas do Cabo Comorin (Kanyakumari), o extremo sul da Índia, todas datadas de 1 de Novembro, e, finalmente, uma vista de Vizagapatam (Visakhapatnam), na costa oriental indiana (12 de Novembro), que encerra a sequência da viagem de regresso à Índia. Estas sequências anteriores relatam 3 viagens diferentes.

As seguintes viagens, 4ª e 5ª, datam de 1875-1876 e contêm dois esboços "italianos": uma capela de San Giovanni Battista perto de San Remo e o Golfo de La Spezia (ambos de 1875), e uma série de doze belos desenhos de grandes dimensões dos Alpes suíços (todos de 1876), incluindo vistas de Les Diablerets; o Monte Pilatus a partir de Lucerna (Julho); a montanha Niesen "da nossa janela em Oberhofen" (Junho); "O Eiger, o Mönch e o Jüngfrau de Oberhofen no lago de Thun" (Junho); "O Stockhorn da nossa janela em Oberhofen" (Junho); várias aguarelas do Lago de Genebra e do Château de Chillon (Agosto); panoramas do Monte Branco "de Morges" e "Dent de Jaman, Rochers de Naye e Doldenhorn" (Setembro).

Os desenhos posteriores representam as 6ª, 7ª e 8ª viagens à Riviera Francesa e Espanhola - vistas de Menton (Abril de 1878), Pirinéus e costa de Espanha/França, Biarritz (Maio de 1878), Hyeres (1880), e Cannes (duas vistas, ambas de 1881).

No geral, uma colecção muito interessante de pontos de vista de um viajante e de um artista.

 Small Folio (32x26 cm) with 36 leaves, containing 36 watercolours, including larger ones ca. 16x25 cm (6 ½ x 10 in), and smaller ones ca. 9x15 cm (3 ½ x 6 in). The watercolours are mounted on slightly larger leaves completed with manuscript captions (in English) and then mounted on the album leaves. All but two watercolours have captions.

An album of watercolours and gouaches by an English person depicting a decade of Grand Tour of voyages in the Far East and trips in Europe (namely Southern India, Mt. Sinai, Cape Guardafui in Somalia, the Isle of Man, views of Scotland, and a series of views of the Swiss Alps and the French Riviera. 1869-1881.

The first sequence is from a voyage from India to Scotland, which took place in 1869-1870 and started in southern India. The earliest watercolours, dated the 27th October 1869, show views of Tellicherry (Thalassery) and Cannonore (Kannur) on the Malabar coast of south-west India.

In May 1870 the artist was on his/her voyage to Europe via the Red Sea, which is illustrated with a view of a sunrise over Mt. Horeb (Sinai) and two views of Cape Guardafui in Somalia. One of the captions noted that this voyage was made aboard the S.S. Hooghly, a vessel of the renowned French maritime company Messagerie Impériale, which was founded in 1851 and specialized in voyages from France to India, Ceylon and South-East Asia through the Suez Canal. This voyage was a very early one through the Suez Canal as the canal had only been completed in November 1869.

The album then contains views from the summer of 1870 including a nice panorama of Tivoli, across the Italian Campagna (June) and a whole series of views of north-western England and Scotland, painted in August: sea landscapes of the Isle of Man and the Island of Eigg from Roshven; Kirkcudbright from the Senwick Shore; a view of the Loch Katrine on the Ellens Isle; a picture of hotel at Patterdale with mount Helvellyn in the background; and extensive manuscript description of the artist’s activities there. Then there are four views of Cape Comorin (Kanyakumari), the southernmost tip of India, all dated the 1st of November, and finally a view of Vizagapatam (Visakhapatnam) on the Indian east coast (12th of November), which ends the sequence on the voyage back to India. These previous sequences report 3 different voyages.

The following 4th and 5th voyages date back to 1875-1876 and contains two "Italian" sketches: a chapel of San Giovanni Battista near San Remo and the Gulf of La Spezia (both from 1875), and a series of twelve nice large drawings of the Swiss Alps (all from 1876) including views of Les Diablerets; Mount Pilatus from Lucerne (July); Niesen Mountain "from our window at Oberhofen" (June); "The Eiger, Mönch and the Jüngfrau from Oberhofen on lake of Thun" (June); "The Stockhorn from our window at Oberhofen" (June); several watercolours of Lake Geneva and the Château de Chillon (August); panoramas of Mont Blanc "from Morges" and "Dent de Jaman, Rochers de Naye and Doldenhorn" (September).

Later drawings represent the 6th, 7th and 8th trips to the French and Spanish Riviera - views of Menton (April 1878), Pyrenees and coast of Spain/France, Biarritz (May 1878), Hyeres (1880), and Cannes (two views, both 1881).

Overall a very interesting collection of views by a voyager and an artist.
