Original 1939 Watercolour
A fashion watercolour signed and dated McDade, 39, and in lovely bright colours, framed in a contemporary frame. The size of the picture is 15 x 10 inches (38x26cm), and is in good condition.

'Grapes' by E. Simkins
Lovely 1920's watercolour of a lady holding and wearing vines of grapes. It is signed by the artist E. Simkins, and titled 'Grapes'. The frame is oak and measures 18.25 by 13.75 inches (46 x 35cm). Condition is excellent other than a slight chip to the bottom right hand edge of the frame.

Photogravure by Walery
This original photogravure was published in Paris in 1923 by Lucien Walery. Because of the nature of his photographs, (which were considered very risque to say the least in the 1920's), he published them in his pseudonym which was Laryew. Walery was just a re arrangement of the letters in his name. Many artists did this at that time. He was a Lithuanian artist born in 1863, he moved to Marseilles and then on to Paris following in his fathers footsteps as a photographer to the rich and famous. Whilst in Paris he befriended Josephine Baker and photographed the girls of the Folies Bergere. He is considered by many to have been a true master of art deco photography. I have several of these photogravures and apparently all the ladies in them were dancers from the Folies Bergere, each one is signed Laryew in pencil and numbered with a Roman numeral. It is interesting to note that many of the poses in these pictures are similar to the poses of statues of this same period. It is easy to see where the statuary artists got their inspiration from. They are printed on thick card that measures 12.75 inches by 9.75 (32cm x 25). Condition is vintage but very good as they have been kept in a thick protective sleeve. You can buy them unframed or I can frame them for you in a contemporary frame. Unframed £135 each or framed £150 each.
