Hubert Herkomer, "Normandie" / French Line. 1939.
Est: $10,000 - $15,000
Hubert Herkomer 1881-? "Normandie" / French Line. 1939. Condition A / A-: minor creases and abrasions in margins and image. Matted and framed. Launched in 1935, the Normandie captured the Blue Riband on its maiden voyage for making the fastest Atlantic crossing to date. Her interiors exemplified the finest French craftsmanship of the era, reflecting the prevailing Art Deco style in every aspect of her fittings. Not only was she one of the most famous ocean liners in the world, but she also benefited from the best graphic advertising, immortalized by A.M. Cassandre, Paul Colin and in this design, by Herkomer. Seen here, the vessel is stunningly illuminated at night departing New York Harbor. Her lights are completely eclipsing the sparkling city seen in the background. Her career was cut short by the outbreak of World War II, at which point she was docked in New York, and was interned by the U.S. Government on September 3, 1939. In 1941, she was taken over by the U.S. Coast Guard and renamed the USS Lafayette. In 1942, during a refitting to make her suitable as a troop transport, she caught fire and eventually capsized under the weight of the water used to extinguish the blaze. This poster, arguably the last to be done before the end of her career, is also considered to be one of the rarest. La Mer p. 155, Fantastic Voyage, 16.

Sir Hubert von HERKOMER (1849-1914) Original 1880 Etching
Est: $300 - $400
Sir Hubert von Herkomer RA (1849-1914) was a Bavarian-born British painter, pioneering film-director, and composer. Though a very successful portrait artist, especially of men, he is mainly remembered for his earlier works that took a realistic approach to the conditions of life of the poor. Despite being a prominent member of Royal Academy of Arts, Royal Watercolour Society, and Royal Society of Painter-Etchers, as well as being on familiar terms with the royal family, Herkomer was never totally accepted by the British establishment, as he was ultimately a victim of the deteriorating relationship between Great Britain and Germany, which he shuttled between, spending most of his summers in Bavaria. Offered here is his 1880 etching called THE WOODCUTTERS. The image is approx. 6-1/4 x 15 in. Plus margins. Paper size is approx. 13 x 19-1/4 in. In excellent condition except for 2 tiny spots to left of image - not a problem. Another of this etching is in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Sir Hubert von Herkomer Genre Painting (1879)
Est: $2,000 - $3,000
Hubert Von Herkomer (German born British, 1849-1914). Oil on canvas genre painting, 1879. Signed "H.H. 1879" in red at lower left corner. Also signed "H. Von Herkomer" on verso. A charming painting by Sir Hubert Von Herkomer depicting an elderly gentleman and a young woman convening at a stone memorial topped by a large cross in a rural setting. The man - dressed in a blue coat and buttoned vest over a white collared shirt, brown pants, wooden (perhaps Dutch) shoes, and a large hat - leans against the stone monument and holds a long cane. The young maiden - donning a red apron over her blue dress with a white Dutch cap matching her broad white collar - kneels at the left, holding a ceramic pitcher. The pair flank this memorial or gravesite, perhaps exchanging some comforting words. This touching scene is rendered in Von Herkomer's signature realistic style with a vibrant palette. A wonderful example of Von Herkomer's genre paintings, mounted in an attractive custom frame. Size (sight view): 20.75" L x 16.2" W (52.7 cm x 41.1 cm) Size (frame): 25.4" L x 20.875" W (64.5 cm x 53 cm) Artist Biography: Sir Hubert von Herkomer was a composer and film director as well as a fine artist best known for his genre paintings of poor, humble folk delineated in a realistic style. Born in Bavaria, his mother and father, a wood carver, emigrated to the United States in 1851, where they briefly lived in Cleveland, Ohio, and then moved to Southampton, England in 1857 before moving to Bushey in 1874. Herkomer went to art school in Southampton and also studied in Munich. In 1866, he studied at South Kensington Schools, and had his first exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1869. His painting titled "The Last Muster" (1875) earned him a position of high distinction at the Academy, and in 1879, he was elected an associate of the Academy; in 1890, he became an academician. Von Herkomer also founded the Herkomer Art School at Bushey in 1883 which he directed until 1904. Among his 500 students were notable artists such as Lucy Kemp-Welch, George Harcourt, Tom Mostyn, E. Borough Johnson and Roland Wheelwright. Von Herkomer worked in oils, watercolor as well as enamel, etching, and mezzotint engraving. Other honors include: associate of the Royal Watercolour Society (1893); full member of Royal Watercolour Society (1894); Slade Professor of Fine art at the University of Oxford (1885-1894); named "Ritter von Herkomer" by King Otto of Bavaria (1899) who also appointed him Knight of Merit Order of the Bavarian Crown; awarded Pour le Merite for Arts by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Herkomer also painted Queen Victoria on her deathbed as an alternative to the traditional wax mask. The painting depicted Queen Victoria half-length, wrapped in white tulle, surrounded by lilies and flowers, and holding a cross in her right hand. This painting is in the Royal Collection at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, England, where it is displayed in the Pavilion Principal Stairs Vestibule. In addition, four of Von Herkomer's paintings are in the national collection at Tate: Found (1885), Sir Henry Tate (1897), Portrait of Lady Tate (1899) and The Council of the Royal Academy (1908). Furthermore, he received an honorary degree of DCL at Oxford as well as a knighthood by the king in addition to commandership of the Royal Victorian Order in 1907.

Hubert von Herkomer etching
Est: $200 - $300
Sir Hubert von Herkomer CVO (1849-1914) British painter of German descent, and also a pioneering film-director and composer. Though a very successful portraitist, especially of men, he is mainly remembered for his earlier works that took a realistic approach to the conditions of life of the poor. Hard Times, showing the family of a travelling day-labourer at the side of a road, is probably his best known work. Original etching, title "The Poacher's Fate", plate signed, image approx. 14 x 10-1/4" plus margins. Done c. 1880. Herkomer etched this print after one of his own paintings.

Normandie. 1935.
Est: $14,000 - $17,000
ARTIST: HUBERT HERKOMER (1881-?) SIZE: 24 3/8 x 39 3/4 in./62 x 101 cm PRINTER: Hill, Siffken & Co., London DESCRIPTION: This nighttime image of the Normandie offers a very different experience from Cassandre's poster of the same title (see No. 28). Here, she quietly glides away from the glimmer of New York City. With six decks of cabin lights reflecting in the water, there is an element of romance combined with the usual magnificence of the ship. After the Cunard Line’s Queen Mary beat the Normandie’s speed records in August of 1938, French Line began promoting her as “the world’s most perfect ship” rather than the fastest. Such a description could not be better expressed than in this image. (Art Deco; Travel; Ships; New York)

Est: $1,500 - $2,000
HUBERT HERKOMER (1881-?) "PARIS, ALL THE WAY" TO EUROPE / FRENCH LINE C.G.T. 1914. 40x25 inches, 101 1/2x63 1/2 cm. [Hill, Sifken & Co., London]. Condition B+: replaced margins, missing printer's text; minor creases in image. Herkomer completed at least one other poster for the French Line, a majestic nighttime scene of the Normandie (See Swann sale 2524, Lot 71). That piece, completed 25 years after this design, features a more modern composition, with the monumental ship breaking through the frame of the poster and a dramatic limited palette. This poster features a less stylized ship but is creative in the backdrop of floating French landmarks, and the night skyline of Paris bordering the title below.
