Drawings  in  Detail

PictureMandara. Costumes. Private collection



. 

-  locations, dates and sizes 
-  present and previous owners where known
​-  exhibition history and publication

The purpose of this section is to help researchers and buyers and sellers of Lear drawings to establish all that is known about an individual drawing - size, location depicted, date and current and previous owners where known, as well as any exhibition and publication history.   As Lear numbered the drawings he made on this journey and kept detailed lists of these, the number he used is also given for each drawing.   The following description of each line for each drawing applies throughout the list, and notes on how to use this follows.

Lear's list number
Location illustrated
Date of drawing
Size (in cms)
Present owner, provenance and other notes

Lear's list in his own hand is held with those for fourteen of his other journeys at Yale Center for British Art (not yet digitised).  This 1849 journey list has written at the top of the first of four sheets of listed drawings 'please return with drawings' showing that Lear used this as a form of sales list from which clients could commission watercolours or oil paintings of particular places.
Location - there are frequently two entries, the first being the location as shown on Lear's list, the second in italics being the location noted on the drawing itself where this varies from the original.
Date of drawing - this is often accompanied by the time of day when the drawing was made.  Where the time is in roman type this is shown on the list, but most of the times of day are on the drawing itself and shown in italics.
Present owner, provenance and other notes - nothing further is known of drawings where only the number, location and date are shown. However for 158 of just over 200 drawings a present holder is known, and the vast majority are held by public institutions and available to be viewed.  The institution reference number is given where known.  The notes include a number of sources where the work is included, as follows :
1971 exhibition - 'Edward Lear in Greece', catalogue of a loan exhibition from the Gennadius Library, Athens 1971/72.
Thessaloniki - 'Edward Lear's Greece from the Gennadeion Collections', catalogue of exhibition at the Cultural Centre of Thessaloniki, 1997.
RA Exhibition 1985 - 'Edward Lear 1812-1888', catalogue of an exhibition at the Royal Academy, London, 1985.
OField - 'Edward Lear on My Shelves' by Wm.B.Osgood Field. Privately printed 1933.
Hofer - 'Edward Lear as a Landscape Draughtsman' by Philip Hofer. Oxford University Press 1967.
Hyman - 'Edward Lear in the Levant' by Susan Hyman. John Murray 1988.
FMT –  this is the number of the drawing given in 'Edward Lear in Greece', thesis by Fani-Maria Tsigakou, University College London 1977.

Following the description of the Peloponnese drawings, there is included similar description of the 83 further drawings Lear made on his extended trip in Epirus and beyond, mostly in the Ottoman Albania.
