Fans such as this are known as "Vernis Martin" because the Martin family developed a varnish for furnishing objects in the early 18th century and became known for that invention. Varnish was subsequently used on European-made fans to imitate Chinese lacquer. As there is no documentation that the Martin family ever made fans, the association with the family may be unfounded.

Brewster & Company History Established in 1810 by James Brewster (1788–1866) in New Haven, Connecticut, Brewster & Company, specialized in the manufacture of fine carriages. The founder opened a New York showroom in 1827 at 53-54 Broad Street, and the company flourished under generations of family leadership. Expansion necessitated moves around lower Manhattan, with name changes reflecting shifts of management–James Brewster & Sons operated at 25 Canal Street, James Brewster Sons at 396 Broadway, and Brewster of Broome Street was based at 372 & 374 Broome Street with a repository (showroom) on 14th Street & Fifth Avenue. By 1874, Brewster & Company had 400 employees and combined warehouse and factory facilities at 47th & 48th Streets and Broadway. Brewster successfully branched out to produce their own automobiles, as well as supplying bodies for Rolls Royce at their Long Island City location. Notable clientele included Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, August Belmont, J.P. Morgan, John Jacob Astor, Andrew J. Cassatt (brother of artist Mary Cassatt), William Rockefeller, Henry Clay Frick and Pierre Lorillard. Talented draftsmen employed by the firm included Paul Steinbeck, Herman Stahmer and John Gribbon, the latter teaching at the Carriage Builders and Designers Technical School, which opened in 1880 and was housed initially at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When the company finally dissolved in 1923, its last owner William Brewster (1866–1949) donated its archive of design and presentation drawings to the Museum where he served as benefactor and trustee. Of all American carriage manufacturers, none was as highly regarded for design, finish and quality as Brewster & Company. They won many awards for outstanding workmanship, including the Legion d’Honneur (Legion of Honor) at the 1878 Paris Exposition (3rd World’s Fair). In appreciation for this achievement the Carriage Builders’ National Association presented them with a gold enameled Tiffany & Company plaque and autograph book signed by leading American carriage builders, both now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Courtesan of Eguchi
Object type: hanging scroll
Materials: ink, paper
Culture: japanese
Artist: katsukawa shunshō 勝川春章
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: japanese
Artist dates: 1726 – 1792
Subjects: women,elephants

Most famous for his woodblock print designs, the Ukiyo e artist Shunshō created this finely executed painting on the theme of the courtesan of Eguchi, a twelfth century prostitute named Tae who lived in the Eguchi licensed quarters in Osaka. According to legend, one rainy night the itinerant monk poet Saigyō (1118−1190), while on the way back to his temple, stopped at her brothel seeking shelter and their dialogue was seen as commentary on Buddhist metaphysics. By the Edo period it had become common to create parodic versions of Tae as an incarnation of the bodhisattva Fugen (Sanskrit: Samanthabhadra), who is usually portrayed riding an elephant, his sacred vehicle. By presenting the bodhisattva in the guise of a prostitute, Shunshō demonstrates the Buddhist concept that appearances are unreal and that there is no fundamental difference between sanctity and sinfulness.

Cactus Plant in Flower

The night-blooming Cereus cactaceae only displays its beautiful fragrant blossoms in the moonlight, which is reflected by the flower’s white petals, thereby attracting various pollinators. As is typical for such botanical studies, the plant is shown in several stages of development within one image. The cactus plant sends out a bud, which blooms as a white flower. After it is pollinated by a moth or even a bat, the flower dies and droops, and a bright red fruit grows from the base of the bud, which can be plucked and eaten.

Tale of a Strange Marriage (Konkai Zoshi)

Materials: ink, paper
Culture: japanese
Artist: ukita ikkei
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: japanese
Artist dates: 1795 – 1859
Subjects: foxes

Satirical paintings with animals standing in for humans have a long history in Japanese art. A special genre of such paintings involves foxes, which are believed to transform themselves into humans on moonlit nights. This somewhat eerie depiction of a fox wedding under an autumn moon expresses the artist’s biting criticism of the Tokugawa shogunate and its attempt to shore up its waning authority by marrying an imperial princess to the shogun. The artist, Ukita Ikkei, was an important member of opposition political circles and a major figure in the revival of yamato-e, a distinctively Japanese style of courtly painting. As such, he was familiar with yamato-e masterpieces preserved in Kyoto, skillfully interpreting this traditional Japanese idiom. Each of the five scenes is taken directly from a venerated Kamakura-period scroll, The Miracles of the Kasuga Shrine (1309). Replacing the elegantly posed courtiers of the original with demonic-seeming foxes, Ikkei suffuses the scenes with a lurid unnaturalness heightened by the richly painted colors, creating a vision of pure sacrilege. Ikkei was arrested in a roundup of anti-Tokugawa forces in 1858. He died shortly after being released from prison one year later, leaving this stunning work unfinished.

Coast of Yorkshire, Near Whitby (Liber Studiorum, part V, plate 24)
Object type: print
Techniques: etching, mezzotint
Artist: joseph mallord william turner
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: british
Artist dates: 1775 – 1851
Subjects: landscapes,boats

Turner distilled his ideas about landscape In "Liber Studiorum" (Latin for Book of Studies), a series of seventy prints plus a frontispiece published between 1807 and 1819.To establish the compositions, he made brown watercolor drawings, then etched outlines onto copper plates. Professional engravers usually developed the tone under Turner's direction, and Say here added mezzotint to define rough seas pounding a dark, rocky stretch of Yorkshire coast where stranded passengers from a wrecked ship appeal for help to figures on shore, and men wade into a sheltered foreground cove. A lighthouse punctuates the skyline and the letter "M" in the top margin indicates Turner's category of Marine landscape.
