Spotted Sickle Fish LN4 $65

These rare fish prints are from Poissons des campagnes du “de Lanessan” (1925-1929).  Published by P. Chevey, after watercolours of Luu-Khac-Khiem.  An important work on the fishes of Asia, it describes 33 marine and 17 freshwater fishes.   The lithographs are in excellent condition on a creamy strong paper with no flaws.  The colors are very vibrant, some with genuine silver hand finishing.  Each print measures approximately 12 ¼ inches wide by 10 inches long.

These prints represent a very interesting slice of history, as they were printed from the capital of Vietnam, Saigon, at a time when the French ruled Vietnam and that part of the world was then known as Indochina.  War was raging in Europe and who would have predicted the tumultuous half century the then peaceful Vietnam would see after the departure of the French.  These beautiful prints certainly represent the more positive aspects of a colonial era soon to end and are a unique addition to a print collection.
