TORRES MÉNDEZ, Ramón (1809-1885)

[A selection of 16 lithographs from:] Cuadros de Costumbres Colombianas. Paris: A. Delarue, [c. 1860-1878]

An extremely rare set of colourful and lively lithographs in the 'costumbrista' tradition, featuring types, costumes and scenery of Columbia. Ramon Torres Mendez (1809-1885) was one of the most important Colombian painters of the period, and this seems to be the earliest appearance of these plates. See E. Sanchez, Ramon Torres Mendez, Pintor de la Nueva Granada (1987).



Oblong quarto (265 x 350mm). 16 lithographic plates, coloured by a contemporary hand and heightened with gum arabic, captioned in Spanish and imprint to lower right (variable faint spotting). Modern blue half crushed-morocco (extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: Bernado Mendel (gilt leather book label) — Jacques Levy (sale, Sotheby's New York 20 April 2012, lot 333).
