[VOYAGES AND TRAVELS]. LEAR, Edward (1812-1888). Journals of a Landscape Painter in Albania, &c. London: Richard Bentley, 1851. Large 8vo. [4], 428 pp. Map and twenty tinted lithographic plates. Original dark blue blindstamped cloth with gilt spine. FIRST EDITION. "His career as a 'topographical landscape painter' took him to Ireland, France, Italy, Albania, Greece, the Near East, and India. Lear's travel books, like his drawings, watercolors, lithographs, and paintings, are expertly executed, sharp observations of the minutest details from all the countries he visited, many of which were hardly accessible to the contemporary traveler. The adventurous and pioneering sense that drove Lear compulsively to such remote outposts is perhaps one reason for the thrilling, crisp intensity and freshness conveyed in his art" (John Lehmann, Edward Lear and His World).

Est: £3,000 - £4,000
Edward Lear, British 1812-1888- View of Palaeocastritza, Corfu; pen, ink, and watercolour on paper, inscribed 'Palaeocastritza' in Greek and dated 'April 15 18 / 1862' (lower right), variously numbered and inscribed across the sheet, 35 x 54 cm. (unframed). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Lear is known to have been in the village of Palaeocastritza, Corfu, in April 1862, with another strikingly similar watercolour by the artist depicting the same location and dated 21 April 1862 in the collection of the Rhode Island School of Design Museum in [70.118.32]. Further watercolours from the same trip to Corfu include a work dated 28 April 1862 in the National Galleries of Scotland [D 5551.17], and one which sold at Christie's, London, on 2 July 2013, lot 101 (£43,750). The present work exhibits distinctive stylistic similarities which characterise Lear's drawings, particularly in the bold hatching and the warm light which suffuses the landscape. It recalls similar views of the Greek landscape by Lear, including his depiction of the 'Monastery of Konstatmonitou, Mount Athos', produced a few years earlier in 1856, which sold at Christie's, London, on 5 July 2017, lot 121 (£37,500), and his 'View from Mount Neritos, Ithaca', from 1863, which sold in the same rooms on 12 December 2007, lot 59 (£34,100).
