Item description

260 Single monochrome or polychrome prints by Hiroshige, Kiyomitsu, Hokusai, Outamaro, Harunobou, Koriusai, Massayoshi etc. in a cardboard folder closed by three strings. Charles Gillot, French engraver and printer born in 1853, died in 1903. In 1876 he created the first open photography workshop in France and patented an engraving method called "Gillotipie", improving on the method invented by his father Firmin Gillot, also an engraver. Gillotipie" or "Zincographie" consisted of the reproduction in relief on zinc or copper plates, through a chemical process, of writings, sketches or photos in order to obtain matrices for printing. This technique was named "Gillotipie" in his honour. Charles Gillot was a great collector and expert in Oriental art, particularly Japanese art. The antique prints from the folder "Documents Japonais", a collection of 260 plates dedicated to the art and culture of Japan, were published in Paris around 1885 by Charles Gillot with the aim of making Japanese arts and culture known throughout Europe. The numerous antique prints in the series depict art objects, flowers, landscapes, vases and bronzes, ceramics, animal studies, fabrics, enamels, interior scenes and other decorative motifs. Overall condition good. The edges of some prints appear darker in colour due to time. The case shows signs of use. ATTENTION: 8 plates are missing (30-82-100-120-146-209-220-237)
