Original Vintage Japanese Woodblock Scroll Print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Circa 1825 (1798 - 1861). "Woman Holding a Vase," Original Japanese woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798 - 1861) was one of the last great masters of the Japanese Ukiyo-e style of woodblock prints and painting, and a member of the Utagawa school. Ukiyo-e was a style of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Artists produced woodblock prints and paintings of subjects that included female beauties, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, scenes from history, folk tales, travel scenes and landscapes.

Ralph Fletcher Seymour etching, Bookplate for Nancy Lincoln Binner, Circa 1895. Proof for an etched bookplate for Nancy Lincoln Binner. "One gift the Fairies gave me, the love of books; the Golden Key that opens the Enchanted Door." Nancy Lincoln Binner - Her Book - Taken from the poem by Andrew Lance, "Ballade of the Bookworm." 1888. "Far in the Past I peer, and see; A Child upon the Nursery floor, A Child with books upon his knee, Who asks, like Oliver, for more! The number of his years is IV, And yet in Letters hath he skill, How deep he dives in Fairy-lore! The Books I loved, I love them still! One gift the Fairies gave me: (Three; They commonly bestowed of yore); The Love of Books, the Golden Key; That opens the Enchanted Door; Behind it Bluebeard lurks, and o'er; And o'er doth Jack his Giants kill, And there is all Aladdin's store," The Books I loved, I love them still! Take all, but leave my Books to me! These heavy creels of old we bore; We fill not now, nor wander free, Nor wear the heart that once we wore; Not now each River seems to pour; His waters from the Muses' hill; Though something's gone from stream and shore, The Books I loved, I love them still! Pulled from an etched copper plate, red ink. Etched in plate, lower right corner: "Ralph Fletcher Seymour." Etching: 3.75 x 5.5. Paper: 7 x 9.

Ralph Fletcher Seymour etching, La Poterne #2, possibly 1913. About 55 miles Southeast of the heart of Paris, there is a small bridge, the Rue du Pont that crosses the Loing. On the west end of the bridge you pass through an arched portal at the base of a tower. It looks very similar to this print, but not exact. On the North side of this arch is a restaurant called the La Poterne, at Moret-Loing-et-Orvanne, (France). On the North side of the restaurant is another smaller arch that matches this print. The sign today marks it as the "Le Pre Margaron." The Library of Congress houses a print attributed to Ralph Fletcher Seymour, but signed Hubbard Fund (possibly owner of print?), 1920s. It is a view from the opposite side of the arch. Ralph Fletcher Seymour was on the staff of the Art Institute of Chicago between 1907 and 1918. While there, he was given a year's paid sabbatical to study art in France. His twelve-month leave began in the summer or early fall of 1912 and ended around September or early October 20, 1913.

(The Caxtonian, May 2011, page 9.) In Some Went This Way, Seymour wrote about his time in Paris. "There was an interesting little court in our neighborhood, of which I wanted to make an etching. Levy went around to have a look at it and pronounced it a hopeless subject. Nevertheless I more or less secretly did a drawing and etching of it. A long while later, when time had come for my return to the States, I set up all my newly made etching proofs for inspection by my teachers. Levy regarded this proof for some time and, having forgotten his earlier comment, said, "That is almost an etching." It was the nearest to any praise that he gave... Continue... 0120.24.0221

Ralph Fletcher Seymour etching "Old Frankfort" Germany, 1928.

It is a keen shame that more space Is not allotted to this exhibit. There are 323 etchings hung this year, and another 300 equally good had to be refused. Possibly it may be arranged that the society shall have all the galleries of the print department for this yearly affair. Upstairs, It is true, the Chicago artists have the entire cast wing for their work.... The current show is exceptionally good. The average is so high it is difficult to find peaks. The most satisfactory way, perhaps, is to select the ten which please you the most and dub them your peaks. I tried that, a little, and had for one result this list of etchings which should not be missed; "Eagle," by H. Emerson Tuttle; " Grand Mosque, Kalronan," by Louis C. Rosenberg; " Log Team," by George Soper; " Corn Stubble," by Lee Sturges; " Comrades All," by George Rosier; " Dancing on Hampstead Heath," by Laura Knight; "Sand Dunes," by Sears Gallagher; "La Mangla, Siena," by John Taylor Arms; "Angker Bayou at Sunset," by Lucille Douglass; " Pig Market," by Pop Hart; "Black Brig," by W.

Ralph Fletcher Seymour etching "Cinema in Tasco" Circa 1935. "Cinema in Tasco"  was selected for the Fifth International Exhibition of Etchings and Engravings at the Art Institute of Chicago, November 4, 1938 to January, 1939. The "Cinema in Tasco" appears to be large enough to have a balcony. Stairs can be seen in the background leading to the balcony. The light from the movie projector can be seen coming from the back of the balcony. The viewers in the foreground appear to be more of a Hispanic decent than European or French. Seymour visited Paris in 1935. There is a small village in Columbia with the name Tasco, but it does not appear large enough to support a cinema. In 1928, Ralph Fletcher Seymour traveled to Mexico, then on to Spain and Germany. It does not appear that he traveled to Columbia on this trip. There is a larger city in Mexico named "Taxco" which has been translated to "Tasco."
