Colours clean and bright, full margins, browning to right margin outside of image, otherwise in good condition. 'This assemblage of rocks has been long considered as one of the most sacred places on the River Ganges, and much resorted to by the religious Hindoos, not only for its reported sanctity, but on account of a much celebrated figure of Narayan, over which is erected a building, probably, either to honour or preserve the idol. There are several other figures of Narayan to be seen here, as well as those of Seeva, Vichnou and Sooroj' (Journal of William Daniell).Thomas Daniell (1749–1840) and his nephew William Daniell (1769–1837) travelled extensively in India between 1786 and 1793.

Description:
1959 . Offset lithograph with hand-colouring, 1959, on wove paper, from the edition of unknown size, with the offset lithograph 'Sheep's Trotter Poulette' printed in black on the reverse as issued, with the inkstamps of The Estate of Andy Warhol and Andy Warhol Foundation for the visual Arts on the reverse, 44.3 x 57 cm. (17½ x 22½ in.). This work was part of an unbound set of works kept by The Warhol Estate and comes directly from the Estate. 'Wild Raspberries', circa 1959, is a portfolio of uniquely hand-coloured offset lithographs displaying Warhol's signature blotted line technique. Alongside 'A Gold Book', 1957, 'Wild Raspberries' is considered one of the most elaborate of Warhol's self-published works from this period. The series contains vividly hand-coloured illustrations of fanciful foods by Warhol, alongside irreverent and deliberately absurd recipes concocted by Susie Frankfurt - a prominent American interior designer and part of Warhol's innermost circle.

Inscribed by the author to his fellow novelist and friend, Charles Hamilton Aidé. Described by his friend Henry James as 'supreme dilettante', and by the literary critic John Sutherland as 'super-sophisticated (and probably homosexual)' Aidé (1826-1906), 'spoke and wrote French as easily as English, [and] devoted himself to society, music, art, and literature... His novels were simply written, under an obvious French influence. His frequent use of first-person female narrators led some early reviewers to believe that he was a woman' (ODNB).

The first English translation of this poem by Jami and first translation from Persian by Edward Fitzgerald. Salámán and Absál was composed in the late fifteenth century as part of Jami's larger work Haft Awrang. Based on an allegorical tale it tells of the love of the Greek prince Salaman for his nurse Absal. Although it must be noted that this is a much condensed edition by Fitzgeraldn and most likely most likely presented as such because it is a translation from the 1850 Persian printed edition of the text edited by Forbes Falconer (1805-1853). The Falconer edition was compiled from eight manuscripts in British public and private libraries and these texts were compared and condensed to create his… Read More
