Extremely Rare "Conflagration of Moscow" Propaganda Handkerchief, ca. 1812-1813
Est: $800 - $1,000
War of 1812 [England], ca. 1812-1813 Extremely Rare "Conflagration of Moscow" Propaganda Handkerchief, ca. 1812-1813 Textile An extremely rare propaganda handkerchief based on an original aquatint/etching by Italian printmaker Giovanni (John) Vendramini (1769-1839), "Conflagration of Moscow seen from the Kremlin on the entrance of the French Army the 14th of Septr. 1812 which caused their disastrous flight" (1812). The plate-printed cotton handkerchief in two colors, red and black, is of unknown English manufacture, ca. 1812-1813. The handkerchief has been lightly stitched to a supportive muslin backing. Expected gentle and light wear including stiff folds and isolated minor stains. Pencil-inscribed verso on the muslin mount. Else near fine. The actual size of the handkerchief is 23" x 20.75" while the overall size of the mounted handkerchief is 24" x 21.5." Currently folded. Italian-born London-based printmaker Giovanni Vendramini witnessed the burning of Moscow firsthand in September 1812, and later created his original aquatint/etching of the same title; in fact, both the original print and its offshoot, the handkerchief, explicitly state that the artist has depicted "The View taken on the spot." (Please see the attached image of Vendramini's original print included just for reference.) The top panel of the handkerchief reproduces Vendramini's original aquatint/etching, showing various city landmarks, including Saint Basil's Cathedral ("The Church of Saint Basil"); Ivan the Great Bell Tower ("The Belfry of Saint Ivans"); the Spasskaya Tower ("Spaska Varota or Holy Gate"); and the Moskva River ("River Moscow"). Below this panel is an 8-part key or explanation of landmarks, flanked by "A Cossack" on the left and "British Lanciers" on the right. French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's victory at the Battle of Borodino in early September 1812 paved his way to Moscow as part of his planned invasion of Russia. The exact causes of the Moscow Conflagration are still debated, but most historians conclude that it was started by a series of deliberately set small fires intended to deprive approaching French forces of food, supplies, and shelter. The fire raged uncontrollably between September 14-18, 1812, worsened by unusually strong winds. At its height, the conflagration was reportedly visible up to 130 miles away. Approximately 70% of residential buildings and about 40% of the churches in the city were destroyed. Napoleon's hungry, sickly, and frightened troops fled the fire-ravaged city a month later, in mid-October 1812. This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.

"Cries of London" by G. Vendramini, Print after F. Wheatly
Est: €80 - €100
Colour Print, early 20th Century Print after Francis Wheatley (1747-1801), English Portrait and Landscape painter Printed after Giovanni Vendramini (1769-1839), Italian Engraver Titled and inscribed in the printed area Softly coloured Framed with passé-partout Total size: 39.58 x 48.8 cm The sheet shows a knife and scissor grinder, offering his services on a London street. Two young women, one with scissors in her hands, are eagerly discussing with him. Another woman with a child on her back is already walking away down the road. The sheet is inscribed with the original painter's name „Painted by F. Wheatley, R. A." and that of the original printer „D'après G. Vendramini". It is titled „Knives, Scissors and Razors to Grind. CRIES OF LONDON. Couteaux, Ciseaux, Rasoirs a repasser." Francis Wheatley (1747-1801) has made a whole series named „The cries of London", each depicting a scene of London's barkers at work. Dimensions: 39.58 x 48.8 cm framed; the passé-partout cut-out measures 24.8 x 33.4 cm. The sheet shows yellowing; the frame traces of wear. Giovanni Vendramini (1769-1839) Vendramini, born in Roncade in Treviso, Italy, moved to London when he was 19 years old to complete his artistic education. He married an English woman and both moved to Russia in 1805. Vendramini was so appreciated there that he got patronized by the emperor and he was refused his passport in order to keep him in Russia. He managed to flee and return to England where he continued his successful career. It is said that he was so talented that he frequently engraved from a picture without making a preparatory drawing. Francis Wheatley (1747-1801) Wheatley started his career in a classical and promising way, studying at the Royal Academy and presenting his first works there. But he then decided to elope with one his colleagues' wives and had to flee to Ireland in 1779. He built up a new circle of clients there but had to return to England when the truth about his private life came to light. He was finally elected a member of the Royal Academy in 1790. He is mainly known for his genre paintings but he has also done some engravings.
