Etchings of the Franciscan Missions of California
Henry Chapman Ford, 1883.
FORD, Henry Chapman (1828-1894). Etchings of the Franciscan Missions of California. New York: [Studio Press,] 1883.
First edition, deluxe issue with each etching individually signed by the artist. The suite comprises 24 views of the California Missions, each signed by the artist, being all 21 of the historic Franciscan missions of Alta California, plus two views each of Santa Barbara and Carmel, and a view of Pala (the Mission Station attached to San Luis Rey). By 1883, Santa Barbara alone remained under the control of the Franciscans. The etchings are ordered from south to north, in the order in which they were founded and as a traveler would encounter them on El Camino Real. Henry Chapman Ford, an American-born artist, studied overseas for a few years the returned, later co-founding the Chicago Academy of Design and serving as its President in 1873. This deluxe issue was done in an edition of 50 copies on Japan paper, this copy without limitation statement. Howes F-250 ("b").
Folio (560 x 425mm). String-tied text booklet plus 24 etchings, each printed on Japan paper, signed and dated in the plate "H.C. Ford '83", and signed in pencil by the artist in the lower right margins (booklet with cover page detached, creasing, wear to fore-edge, pl.2 with a small stain in lower margin, a few scattered very pale foxmarks/spots to plates, some occasional very faint mat-toning). The prints tipped into window-mounts. Housed together in original gilt-lettered half morocco and green cloth portfolio (rubbed). Wooden box with clasps. Provenance: Kenneth E. Hill (bookplate to portfolio).
