[19th-Century Chinese Artist] - [Fish Album].

China, ca. 1850. Oblong accordion (leporello) album (15.0 x 20.0 cm) with original watercolour illustrations on rice paper, augmented with gold or silver, of freshwater fish, including a goldfish; all in blue paper frames. Marbled boards. = A wonderful Chinese album with fine, detailed, original illustrations - of a much better than average quality. Provenance: with on the last leaf a stamp of the French sculptor and designer Léon Parvillée (1830-1885). Parvillée was a student of the famous French architect Eugène Emannuel Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879), and renowned for his ceramics in various designs including Japanese and other oriental styles. Apparently, he found part of his inspiration in this unique album. Some, mostly mild, signs of wear; the blue paper borders a bit creased; parts of the rice paper chipped or torn, but, with a single exception, nowhere affecting the illustrations. A very good and inspiring item.
