FARRÈRE AND FOUQUERAY | Jonques et sampans, 1945
FARRÈRE, CLAUDE–FOUQUERAY, CHARLES, ILLUSTRATOR
JONQUES ET SAMPANS. PARIS: HORIZONS DE FRANCE, 1945
FIRST EDITION, one of 525 copies, 4to (283 x 230mm.), 148 coloured illustrations, 16 full-page, in sheets in original wrappers, card chemise and slipcase, chemise with slight wear at folds
The high-quality printed illustrations offer a sharp-eyed account of Charles Fouqueray's voyages from Singapore to Hong Kong, Macao, and Shanghai. Representing the different shapes of boats in these regions, they also focus on the local sailors and fishermen. Fouqueray's use of an extensive palette to depict the sea's various tints and shades conveys a poetic atmosphere to his illustrations
The French author Claude Farrère (1876-1957) became known for his novels set in exotic places. After a twenty-five-year career in the Army, he decided to concentrate entirely on writing and won the Prix Goncourt in 1905 for his novel Les Civilisés.
Charles Fouqueray (1869-1956) studied art at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris, where one of his masters was the well-known Academic painter Alexandre Cabanel. First interested in painting, he then specialised in illustration, in news magazines such as Le Monde Illustré and L'llustration.
