Corea' signed by R. W. Clarke, Greenwich Hospital/.

material on Korea.
The Illustrated London News dated April 24,1858:
(SKECHES IN JAPAN AND COREA)
The harbour of Tschaosia,or Chosen,is near Cape Vashon,and has its front same fine black rocks; the anchorage is round magnetic points ,has good depth
of water,and is well sheltered.The hills are thinly covered with firs,and all available flats are cultivated in the terraces and irrigated by the little mountain streamlets.
The inhabitants were seen walking about in loose ,flowing robes,and waering a strange black hat with a high crown ; the substance is finely split bamboo-the manner of drawing up the hair and twisting it renders it necessary to secure the hat by strings,Some of the hats of basket-work were enormously large.
The dresses were of white or unbleached grass-cloth,or muslin sleeves
,hanging and open; a girdle round the waist;the feet covered with cotton stockings and curious straw shoes.
The elegant carriage and passing expression of these people
arrested our attention,and made us wish them less rigidly exclusive
;for, on attempting to visit the city of Fusankai,the crowds on the beach
and on the jetty of rough stones would not allow us to advance on step from the boat,while they could neither be induced to receive our letters to the authorities ,nor to communicate with the Chinese interpreter who was with us.

A group of five original mounted pencil
of Koreans done in 1909 by Thomas Browne. /1909
Size: 46x 35 cm . Dictionary of National Biography: Browne, Thomas 1870-1910, painter and black-and-white artist, born at Nottingham on 8 Dec. 1870, was son of Francis and Maria Browne. He was educated at St. Mary's national school in his native place, and at the age of eleven became an errand boy, first at a milliner's, and then in the lace-market. When fourteen he was apprenticed to a firm of lithographic printers, and served the full period of seven years. In the meantime he began to practise as a black-and-white artist, and had his first humorous drawings accepted by the periodical called 'Scraps.' In 1895 he came to London, which remained his headquarters till his death. He quickly found a ready market for his work in such papers as 'Cycling,' the 'Tatler,' the 'Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News,' 'Punch,' the 'Sketch,' and the 'Graphic.' He paid more than one visit to America, and there published many sketches and cartoons in the 'New York Herald,' the 'New York Times,' and the 'Chicago Tribune.' His illustrations were characterised not only by their ready wit but by their admirable quality of line and fluency of draughtsmanship. By his contemporaries 'Tom Browne' will perhaps be best remembered for his creation of those comic types of American illustrated journalism, Weary Willie and Tired Tim. Among special volumes which he illustrated were 'Tom Browne's Cycle Sketch Book' (1897), 'The Khaki Alphabet Book' (1901), 'The Night Side of London' (1902), and 'Tom Browne's Comic Annual' (1904-5). He also won considerable success as a designer of posters, and in 1897 was one of the founders of the lithographic colour-printing firm of Tom Browne & Co. at Nottingham. Though Browne was best known as a humorous draughtsman, his work as a painter in water-colour showed in its refinement of colour and design highly artistic gifts. For many of his paintings he found subjects in Holland and Spain, and in 1909 brought back much material from a tour in China and Japan. In 1898 he was elected a member of the Royal Society of British Artists, and in 1901 a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-colour, while from 1898 to 1901 he exhibited each year at the Royal Academy, sending seven pictures in all. He was a member of the London Sketch Club from its foundation in 1897, and president in 1907. An active freemason, he was a past master of the Pen and Brush Lodge. The happy geniality which distinguished his life as well as his pictures won him hosts of friends. On 1 Jan. 1910 Browne was operated on for an internal malady, and died on 16 March 1910. He had been a lance-corporal in the City of London roughriders, and then held a commission in the Woolwich company of the army service corps (territorial). He was buried with military honours at Shooter's Hill cemetery.
His sketches on Korea appeared in The Graphic dated dated December 4,1909 and January 29,1910 .
Last image is The Chosun Ilbo(The Chosun Daily Newspaper ,one of the largest
and leading daily newspapers in Korea)dated November 26,2003 reporting this old material on
Korea.

Design in Art and Industry/1936
hard cover,204 pages.
Contents include: Introduction, The Schools, The Museum and Design, Chines e Influence: Japan and Korea, Polynesia, Indo-China, Siam, and Burma, India, Schools of Europe and America.
A collection of Kahn's essays on various design subjects ranging from Chinese influences on Japanese and Korean art to design schools in Europe and America. The discussion of design schools provides a valuable survey, stressing the variety of subjects available to the American design student, and listing specialized craftsmen who teach. The Museum and Design, Kahn's last essay, is a call for more exhibitions of everyday objects in America's museums. He observes in this essay that department store displays are often more interesting and important reflections of American art than exhibitions in museums.

Old Korea/1946
hard cover,cloth72 pages. 16 color plates. 24 b/w plates.1946 first edition.
The many illustrations by the artist Elizabeth Keith provide a beautiful backgrounds to the brief accompaning essays,based upon observations made whie in Korea in the 1920'. Contains information on the Independence
movement of 1919.(Annotation is based on Korea,Library of Congress,1950)......................................................................Elizabeth Keith(1887-1956) was born in Scotland in 1887. She was a self-taught artist making watercolors and drawings. And Elizabeth probably would never have become the artist we know today, if her sister had not married a publisher in Japan.
A Fateful Journey to Japan
In 1915, at age 28, Elizabeth traveled to Japan where she remained for nine years. When she left England, she had no idea that she would return nine years later. Her sister had married an English publisher living in Tokyo and her trip was planned as a short vacation. Elizabeth was kept by the charm of Japan and the Asian culture and arts.
In her first year in Japan, Elizabeth had a small exhibition with caricatures of foreign residents in Tokyo. From a trip to Korea she brought some watercolors back. Watanabe, the Shin Hanga publisher saw these at an exhibition and convinced Elizabeth to transform one into a woodblock print - a view of the East Gate in Seoul. At that time she had never done a woodblock before. Although she did not perform the carving or printing herself, she wanted to have a basic understanding to supervise the process. So for the next two years she learned the Japanese woodblock printmaking technique.
Returning to England
In 1924 Elizabeth returned to England. Here she started learning color etchings. Elizabeth was back in Asia and Japan from 1932 to 1933 and again in 1935.
In 1936 and 1937 she had exhibitions in the USA. With World War II on the horizon, Elizabeth some how got mentally caught between East and West.

A useful essay with charming color print. A useful and obscure reference on her prints. .....................................................Elizabeth Keith was born in Scotland and was a self-taught artist. Her sister married an English publisher who worked in Tokyo and Elizabeth went to visit her there in 1915 intending to stay for a short holiday. She travelled to China, Korea and the Philippines, painting watercolours of the fascinating scenes she saw. On her return to Tokyo she held a small exhibition and the entrepreneurial Japanese print publisher Watanabe Shozaburo persuaded her to allow his highly skilled carvers and printers to produce woodblock prints from some of her paintings. Keith wanted to master the techniques herself and she stayed on in Tokyo to study woodblock printing. Before long her blocks were carved and printed with little aid from Watanabe's artisans. Her first prints met with great success. Watanabe was delighted to publish prints by an artist whose work would be appreciated by European and American collectors. Keith was influenced by Fritz Capelari, the Austrian artist whose prints were published by Watanabe and who in his own turn had gone to Japan after the success in Vienna and Berlin of his countryman, Emil Orlik's prints made there early in the century. Keith travelled throughout East Asia and produced more than one hundred prints of oriental subjects. They were well received in the United States and Britain but Watanabe's studio was destroyed in the 1923 Tokyo earthquake and most of Keith's woodblocks were lost. She returned to England in 1924 and went to France to study the art of etching but in the early 1930s she was again back in the east and she stayed and worked there until just before the Second World War. After the war she went to the United States, where she died although in her last year she held an exhibition in Tokyo. Her talents have become much appreciated and many of her prints are in important public collections and museums.
