‎Joli album réunissant 4 aquarelles sur pulpe de mûrier figurant des bateaux à voiles chinois, artisanat du milieu du XIXe. Les aquarelles (160 x 226 mm) sont particulièrement soignées et les couleurs sont d'une grande fraîcheur. Cette technique chinoise utilise l'intérieur de la ronce, matière étalée en feuille donnant un relief et une vivacité inégalable aux couleurs apposées sur sa surface. Ce "papier" est cependant d'une grande fragilité et peu de ces dessins ont résistés au temps. Le présent album nous montre deux bateaux de rivière à fonds plats avec un seul mât dont un petit propulsé à laviron par deux hommes et deux plus grands navires, lun avec deux mâts, le second avec trois mâts, pouvant affronter des mers plus agitées. Malgré quelques restaurations dues à la fragilité du matériau, lensemble est en bel état de conservation et les couleurs sont d'une grande fraîcheur. Bel exemple de cet art raffiné typiquement chinois. 1 vol. 4to oblong (224 x 349 mm) of : [1] bl. f. ; [4] ff. ; [1] bl. f. ; 4 watercolors on mulberry pulp fixed on period rag paper ff. with mulberry bark paper frame. (Some breaks and discreet restorations). 19th century cardboard, smooth back. Nice album gathering 4 watercolors on pith paper paper depicting Chinese sailboats, a craft from the middle of the 19th century. The watercolors (160 x 226 m.) are particularly well done and the colors are very fresh. This Chinese technique uses the inside of the burl, a material spread out in sheets giving a relief and an unequalled vivacity to the colors applied on its surface. This "paper" is however very fragile and few of these drawings have withstood the test of time. The present album shows two flat-bottomed riverboats with a single mast, one of which is a small one propelled by two men with oars, and two larger vessels, one with two masts, the second with three masts, capable of facing rougher seas. Despite some restorations due to the fragility of the material, the whole is in a good state of conservation and the colors are of a great freshness. Fine example of this refined art typically Chinese.‎
