Joe Spier illustrations 1930's

At a flea market the other week I found a book of illustrations by Joe Spier dated 1933 and  titled Teekeningen. I had never seen his work before and was very impressed with the illustrations even though they are not in the best of condition.

There is a lot of  'foxing' around the illustrations but they are printed on good quality paper. If they were trimmed I think they would still look great framed.

 The detail is amazing and so I took a look around to find out more about the artist. He was a very popular Dutch artist who was arrested for during a parody of Hitler and managed to survive.

 I have tried to find out more about him but could not find a lot online but did find an interesting article about line drawing here.

APOLLO "A JOURNAL OF THE ARTS"

I discovered a couple of Apollo journals the other day and forgot what great prints and pieces of ephemera were hiding amongst the pages. This Apollo date 1928 and contains a couple of very nice old prints.

The one above is from an advertisement and is one of my favourites, its a specimen colour plate and the title is "Portrait of a Lady" and was painted by Roger Van Der Weyden.

On the reverse is a print of "Pinkie" (Miss Mary Moulton Barrett) that was painted by Sir Thomas Laurence P.R.A. The print was offered to "annual" subscribers of the Apollo and if you signed up for two years you got the other print also, Mrs Davenport by Geo Romney R.A.

On the reverse of this is an interesting old advertisement and is a vintage map showing "rugs of the orient".

The next print is "The Guitar Player" by Vermeer and is attached to a good quality piece of black paper, sadly this is showing some signs of age.
Below are just some of the other nice old prints and ephemera:

The following advertisments have been cut from various magazines that date from the 1950's until the 1990's. Each advert has been scanned and due to the size of the full page ads, there may be some 'clipping' of the image. All of the adverts below are complete and measure around 9" 1/4 inches (23.5cm) X 11" 3/4 inches (29.5cm) and as much of the image will be retained.
