About the Item

Title: The Guardian of the Bell – Plate VIII from G. A. Audsley’s Japanese-Inspired Chromolithographic Series Description: Plate VIII from Section V of G. A. Audsley’s collection is a striking chromolithograph that vividly showcases the influence of Japanese mythology and decorative art. Published by Sampson Low Co. and printed by Lemercier Cie in Paris, this masterpiece highlights Audsley’s skill in merging Eastern motifs with Western printing techniques. The artwork depicts a powerful and expressive figure, reminiscent of a Buddhist guardian or mythological figure, bearing a large ceremonial bell. The figure’s dynamic pose and intricate attire, adorned with elaborate patterns and textures, convey strength and reverence. The deep green of the bell contrasts beautifully with the dark background, emphasizing its sculptural quality. The red Japanese-style seal in the lower corner adds authenticity and cultural context to the composition. This plate exemplifies the grandeur of 19th-century chromolithographic printing, capturing the intricate details and dramatic aesthetics that make it a true collector’s piece. It is a fascinating blend of cultural storytelling and artistic craftsmanship, reflecting the growing fascination with Japanese art during the Victorian era. Condition: The print is in very good condition, with vibrant colors and intricate details preserved. Light foxing in the margins is consistent with its age and does not detract from its overall appeal. Provenance: Published by Sampson Low Co., printed by Lemercier Cie, Paris This rare and visually captivating piece is perfect for collectors of Japanese-inspired art or enthusiasts of 19th-century decorative prints. Ideal for framing, it will bring a dramatic and refined presence to any collection or interior space.
