[Gorille enlevant une femme.]
Gravé par E. Salmon d'après Fremiet.
[n.d. c.1888.]
Etching. Paper watermarked: J Whatman Turkey Mill 1879. Plate 196 x 140mm. 7¾ x 5½".
'Gorille enlevant une femme' was executed as a statue in 1887 and is held at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nantes. Emmanuel Frémiet (1824-1910) was a French sculptor. He is famous for his sculpture of Joan Arc in Paris, and the monument to Ferdinand de Lesseps in Suez. From 1855 to 1859 he was engaged on a series of military statuettes for Napoleon III, none of which have survived. He produced his equestrian statue of Napoleon I in 1868, and of Louis d'Orleans in 1869. This statue of the Gorilla carrying off a Woman won him a medal of honour at the Salon in 1887.

[Composite design for a child's scrap book.]
Salmon lith.
Printed by Lefevre & Kohler 52 Newman St. [London, n.d., c.1840.]
Lithograph in fine original colour by hand with gum arabic, scarce. 260 x 200mm, 10¼ x 8". Contemporary presentation: glued to album leaf, with ink ruled border, numbered 'No 233' in pen lower right.
A fine example of the designs, combining elements of science, art and nature, that were printed for children to put into their scrap albums (as here). Assembling such albums became a 19th century childhood craze, and these decorative vignettes often served as a kind of frontispiece. Includes volume of Newton & a globe.
