Margaret Mee original watercolor of an Airplant
Est: $10,000 - $15,000
MEE, Margaret (British, 1909-1988). Guzmania monostachia. Signed ‘Margaret Mee’ and inscribed with title, [circa 1968]. Gouache over pencil on paper. Watermarked "Raffaello Fabriano". 8 3/4” x 11 1/2” sheet, 19” x 23” framed. Provenance: Margaret Mee. A fine, finished painting by Mee of Guzmania monostachia (commonly known as the ‘West Indian Tufted Airplant’), which is an epiphytic bromeliad found in Brazil, the West Indies, and Florida (where it is threatened with extinction and considered endangered), and elsewhere. This gouache was included in one of the hundred signed and specifically bound copies of Mee’s first book, Flowers of the Brazilian Forest (London: 1968; cf. item 1) as the frontispiece, and was then removed from the volume to be exhibited separately. ----------------- Unlike Amazon botanical artists before her, Margaret worked entirely from living plants. Her fifteen expeditions into the interior, mostly to Amazonia, involved traveling and living under the most primitive conditions. She would draw at night by torchlight to capture rare nocturnal flowers, and this immediacy gave her paintings an accuracy, depth, and color unrivaled by her predecessors. Her travels coincided with the beginning of the commercial exploitation of the forest, and she expressed her fury at the damage caused to the land and its peoples” (DNB). Mee’s magnificent botanical paintings, most based on specimens collected during her own expeditions, includes several illustrations and descriptions of plants either recently discovered (one by Mee herself) or never previously illustrated, as explained in the preface by Sir George Taylor, Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, who compares Mee’s paintings favorably to the work of her predecessor C.F. P. von Martius, author of the Flora brasiliensis (1840-1906). 17 plant families are represented, with each section introduced by one of 10 different botanist contributors. The plates are accompanied by detailed part-scientific, part-anecdotal descriptions by the artist. Some are quite poignant, for Mee experienced first-hand the tremendous losses to the world’s ecological resources that began occurring in the 20th century. Noting, for example, that in previous years she was able to find the rare Brazilian orchid Laelia purpurata “in the swampy forests around Ubatuba,” she deplores the fact that “these wonderful coastal forests are being steadily destroyed, often for use as firewood! With them perish untold numbers of animals and plants. So the advance of civilisation and industrialization proceeds at the cost of the total destruction of all that is most beautiful and precious in creation” (text to Plate 13). Margaret Mee was in her forties when she first visited Brazil with her husband Greville Mee. They moved there soon after, and it was at the age of 47 that she made her first expedition up the Amazon. Over the next 32 years, she made a number of further trips up the Amazon and in coastal areas of Brazil, some of them lasting for four months. During these years, she continued to paint and draw what she saw and kept diaries of her travels, later published. In 1988, at the age of 79 and shortly after completing another Amazon trip, Mee came to England to lecture to the Royal Geographic Society and to attend the opening of an exhibition of her paintings at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE Farming 1937 vintage
Est: $1,000 - $2,000
MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE, Crops, c. 1937, 7.3x9.625" gelatin silver print, Printed c. 1939, stamped in red ink on print verso: Photo by Margaret Bourke White; inscribed in pencil: PAC 8,6,3 Bourke-White emphasized the good work of farm laborers, whether in America or abroad. Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a pioneering figure in 20th century documentary photography and is famous for her scenes of modern industry, the Great Depression, and political and social movements in the 1920s through 1950s. Born in New York in 1904, Bourke-White attended Columbia University to study under renowned photographer Clarence White. In 1927 she moved to Cleveland, the heartland of American industry, and opened her own studio. There she documented the effects of modern industry on the land and people. In 1929 Bourke-White became the first staff photographer employed by Fortune magazine. In keeping with her groundbreaking work in the United States, Bourke-White obtained permission in 1930 to enter the Soviet Union to document industrialization under the Communist regime...When Bourke-White returned home to the United States she developed a greater sympathy for the suffering of the American worker. In 1934, on assignment forâ¯ Fortune magazine, she set off to document the effects of the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma and other Great Plains states. She created a photographic essay of the migration from this region at the height of the Great Depression and in 1936 published these images in a volume entitled You Have Seen Their Faces. In 1930, Margaret Bourke-White became the first foreign photographer to have unlimited access to the Soviet Union. In a 1935 poll she was named one of the 20 most notable American women, and in 1936, was named one of ten. 1936 also marked a changed in her career. While working in the Soviet Union recording the industrialization, Bourke-White began to notice the people. Although she was not equipped emotionally to record their lives, it lay the groundwork for future images. Her turn to social documentary led her to Erskine Caldwell, the author of Tobacco Road. Erskine Caldwell was looking for a photographer to accompany him on a trip to the South where he was going to write a second book. As a strong, independent woman working by herself, Bourke-White was not quite ready to accept orders. Almost as soon as the trip began, Caldwell called it off because the two were not getting along. However, the book was important to Bourke-White -- she needed it for her career and was willing to do anything. The result was You Have Seen Their Faces, which was published in 1937. In the meantime, LIFE magazine had begun to form, and Bourke-White was one of the first photographers to be called. Her first assignment was to cover the Public Works Administration dam project in Montana. Although Bourke-White had vowed to never fall in love again after her horrible marriage with Everett "Chappie" Chapman, Erskine Caldwell somehow caught her off guard and the two fell in love while on their trip to the South. They moved to a New York apartment, but Bourke-White was busy with her assignments with LIFE, (including a May 30, 1938 story on Czechoslovakia). They produced another book together, North of the Danube. It covered Czechoslovakia and how it was falling under the reign of the Nazis. By this time Caldwell wanted Bourke-White to marry him, but she would not agree. She wrote in her autobiography, "It is often said that a woman is most strongly drawn to the man who needs her the most. I had always considered myself too selfish to be governed by such a motive. But there must be something to it." And with that, they were finally married in February 1939. She continued to travel with LIFE but soon after her marriage the magazine was printing very few of her photographs and her husband wanted her home.

In the meantime, LIFE magazine had begun to form, and Bourke-White was one of the first photographers to be called. Her first assignment was to cover the Public Works Administration dam project in Montana. Although Bourke-White had vowed to never fall in love again after her horrible marriage with Everett "Chappie" Chapman, Erskine Caldwell somehow caught her off guard and the two fell in love while on their trip to the South. They moved to a New York apartment, but Bourke-White was busy with her assignments with LIFE, (including a May 30, 1938 story on Czechoslovakia). They produced another book together, North of the Danube. It covered Czechoslovakia and how it was falling under the reign of the Nazis. By this time Caldwell wanted Bourke-White to marry him, but she would not agree. She wrote in her autobiography, "It is often said that a woman is most strongly drawn to the man who needs her the most. I had always considered myself too selfish to be governed by such a motive. But there must be something to it." And with that, they were finally married in February 1939. She continued to travel with LIFE but soon after her marriage the magazine was printing very few of her photographs and her husband wanted her home.

MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE Beautiful Cloudscape 1937
Est: $1,500 - $2,500
MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE, Clouds, artist's stamp verso, c. 1937, 7.5x9.5" gelatin silver print, Printed c. 1939, stamped in red ink on print verso: Photo by Margaret Bourke-White; inscribed in pencil: PAC 8,10,5. Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a pioneering figure in 20th century documentary photography and is famous for her scenes of modern industry, the Great Depression, and political and social movements in the 1920s through 1950s. Born in New York in 1904, Bourke-White attended Columbia University to study under renowned photographer Clarence White. In 1927 she moved to Cleveland, the heartland of American industry, and opened her own studio. There she documented the effects of modern industry on the land and people. In 1929 Bourke-White became the first staff photographer employed byâ¯ Fortune magazine. In keeping with her groundbreaking work in the United States, Bourke-White obtained permission in 1930 to enter the Soviet Union to document industrialization under the Communist regime...When Bourke-White returned home to the United States she developed a greater sympathy for the suffering of the American worker. In 1934, on assignment forâ¯ Fortune magazine, she set off to document the effects of the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma and other Great Plains states. She created a photographic essay of the migration from this region at the height of the Great Depression and in 1936 published these images in a volume entitled You Have Seen Their Faces. Bourke-White was an exceptional photographer in all subjects including landscape. In 1930, Margaret Bourke-White became the first foreign photographer to have unlimited access to the Soviet Union. In a 1935 poll she was named one of the 20 most notable American women, and in 1936, was named one of ten. 1936 also marked a changed in her career. While working in the Soviet Union recording the industrialization, Bourke-White began to notice the people. Although she was not equipped emotionally to record their lives, it lay the groundwork for future images. Her turn to social documentary led her to Erskine Caldwell, the author of Tobacco Road. Erskine Caldwell was looking for a photographer to accompany him on a trip to the South where he was going to write a second book. As a strong, independent woman working by herself, Bourke-White was not quite ready to accept orders. Almost as soon as the trip began, Caldwell called it off because the two were not getting along. However, the book was important to Bourke-White -- she needed it for her career and was willing to do anything. The result was You Have Seen Their Faces, which was published in 1937. In the meantime, LIFE magazine had begun to form, and Bourke-White was one of the first photographers to be called.
