Native Americans - Rich Breiman Collection
"These 19th century hand-colored Native American lithographic portraits were after paintings by Charles Bird King. The lithographs were produced by J. T. Bowen and published in three volumes by Thomas McKenney and James Hall. A Smithsonian fire in 1865 destroyed most of the original paintings and the lithographs are all that remain."

The Costume of the Russian Empire - Rich Breiman Collection
March 2024 Yes, William Alexander, also known as Bill Alexander, was an English painter, illustrator, and engraver[1][4]. He was born on April 10, 1767, and passed away on July 23, 1816. Known for his work executed in watercolors, Alexander's artistic hallmarks included clearness and harmony of color, simplicity and taste in composition, grace of outline, and delicacy of execution. He accompanied the Macartney Embassy to China in 1792 and produced prints of his work from engravings[1].Moreover, William Alexander authored works such as "The Costume of China" in 1805 and "Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Chinese" in 1814[1]. His artistic contributions extended beyond painting to include engravings and illustrations for various publications. Additionally, he held the position of assistant keeper of antiquities at the British Museum[1].In summary, William Alexander was a prominent English artist known for his paintings, illustrations, and engravings that reflected his skillful use of color and composition across various artistic endeavors during his lifetime.The history of the costume of the Russian Empire is depicted in various illustrated works, such as "The Costume of the Russian Empire" by William Alexander. This book, published in 1803, contains seventy-three engravings accompanied by descriptions in English and French[1][4]. The illustrations provide a visual representation of the traditional attire worn in the Russian Empire during that period. These engravings offer insights into the clothing styles, fabrics, and designs that were prevalent in Russia at the time.Furthermore, these illustrations not only serve as a historical record of fashion but also shed light on the cultural and social aspects of the Russian Empire. The detailed descriptions accompanying the engravings provide additional context and understanding of the significance of different garments and accessories worn by individuals in various strata of society within the empire.Overall, works like "The Costume of the Russian Empire" offer a glimpse into the sartorial heritage of Russia, capturing the essence of its historical clothing traditions and reflecting the rich tapestry of its cultural identity through attire.Source: perplexity.aiKeyword: richbreiman

French Posters / Jules Cheret - Rich Breiman Collection - Curated by Gabrielle Ly
Jules Cheret Bio...April 2024 - Born in 1836 to a family of artisans, Jules Cheret is known today as the father of modern lithography. His artistic influence began at an early age: his father was a typographer. Due to his family’s poverty, Cheret was apprenticed to a lithographer at the age of 13. He eventually invented color lithography as it exists today, transforming dull prints into veritable rainbows of color.Surprisingly, Cheret’s only formal art training was a single course at the Ecole Nationale de Dessin in Paris. He eventually moved to London, England to study photography and design from 1859 to 1866. His experience and exposure to further lithography techniques inspired him to establish his lithography firm in Paris in 1866. Eugene Rimmel, a perfume manufacturer, funded Cheret’s firm after hiring him to create packaging. Cheret imported the lithography machines from London as they did not exist in France yet.Cheret created his first poster in 1858, commissioned for the operetta Orpheus in the Underworld in London. At first, his posters only used three colors, made from three overlapping prints in the lithographic process. (He also influenced artists such as Henri de Toulous-Lautrec who used the same process of color lithography.)The artist was awarded the Legion of Honor by the French government in 1890 for his contributions to the arts. He designed over a thousand posters for different venues and performances. Cheret passed away at the age of 96 in 1932, having retired to the French Riviera in Nice, France.The term “Cherettes” was coined to describe how Cheret portrayed women in his posters. In contradiction to his time, he depicted women not as puritans or prostitutes but as lively and elegant, free and bold individuals. They appeared as individuals with their own lives and desires, making some call Cheret a pioneer in female liberation.Over time, his style evolved. With “Cherettes” taking the center focus, his compositions became more dynamic and typography-heavy. His posters, influenced by Rococo painters and Japanese woodblock prints, featured simplified backgrounds, flanked by glowing colors and textures. His work elevated lithography to an art form and became popular as it portrayed the gaiety of the time.April 2024 - Born in 1836 to a family of artisans, Jules Cheret is known today as the father of modern lithography.

VOICE NOTE TRANSCRIPT:Jules Cheret, 1836 to 1932, was the pioneer of color lithography and invented a new way of printing color.He started his artistic journey at 13 as an apprentice to a lithographer. Surprisingly, he barely had any formal art training, having taken only one formal course at the Ecole Nationale de Dessin in Paris. He moved to London to study photography and design from 1859 to 1866, later moving back to Paris to open his own firm. His firm was originally funded by a perfume manufacturer who loved Cheret’s design. Cheret imported his lithography machines from London as they did not exist in France at the time. He was known for his poster designs and prints, often printing his and other artists’ works at his print shop Imprimere Chaix in Paris during the Belle Epoque era. This generation of artists ushered in a more colorful period in printed works. He released a collection of 250 prints called the Les Maitres de l'Affiche. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Ch%C3%A9retkeyword: richbreiman

Larmessin Whimsical Costumes of Professions - Rich Breiman Collection - Curated by Gabrielle Ly
April 2024 - To view voice note transcript, scroll to the bottom. Gabrielle's text:Nicolas de Larmessin I (1632-1694) was a printmaker, known for his portraiture. Apprenticed to Jean Mathieu in 1647, de Larmessin later married the daughter of publisher Pierre Bertrand in 1654 and took over his stock in 1678. Bertrand published many of Larmessin’s works.His collection “Grotesque Costumes,” also known as Habits des meters et professions or Les costumes grotesques et les metiers, features tradesmen and tradeswomen with the wardrobe and tools of their craft. Portraying each tradesperson in the standard costume stance of the time, Larmessin’s portrait combines the influence of ballet costumes, portraying them in a fanciful documentary style. Though the costumes were first created by de Larmessin, his brother or son Nicholas de Larmessin II expanded on this idea of portraying the trades and added thirty-two plates to the collection. To have the full collection of roughly one hundred designs in one place is quite rare.These prints are “productively positioned between the fantastic and lived experience” (Pullins). Created by a tradesman like Larmessin, the portraits ought to be seen in reference to his time (representing trades, fashions, and culture of the time) and referring to the art world. The portraits walk a fine line, in tension between two opposing worlds. To the viewer, this collection deals with familiar materials of French life, though framed like an ethnography print. It lends a fantastical lens to the domestic, changing one’s preexisting perspective.Sources: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/term/BIOG34865https://www.martayanlan.com/pages/books/5488/nicolas-de-larmessin/les-costumes-grotesques-et-les-metiers-habits-des-metiers-et-professions?soldItem=truePrint of Louis XIV from https://blog.nationalmuseum.ch/en/2023/01/the-dancing-sun-king/ David Pullins, Techniques of the Body: Viewing the Arts and Métiers of France from the Workshop of Nicolas I and Nicolas II de Larmessin, Oxford Art Journal, Volume 37, Issue 2, June 2014, Pages 135–155, https://doi-org.stmarys-ca.idm.oclc.org/10.1093/oxartj/kcu005_____________________________________________________Katharine's TextNicolas I de Larmissin was a French engraver. Born in 1632, he produced a vast portfolio of work in his lifetime. Most of his work was portraiture, and was often in series: this exhibit features his costumes of professions. Absurdly impractical and opulent, these costumes draw attention to features of various professions in a playful and mocking way. Intricate details give insights into the professions depicted, yet there is an obviously exaggerated aspect of the pieces. Sources: British Museum, Fashion History_____________________________________________________Nicolas de Larmessin was a French engraver born in Paris in 1632. He came from a family of famous generational engravers and printers who worked in the 17th and 18th centuries. Nicolas de Larmessin is known for creating etched pictures of various artisans and skilled laborers. His work, characterized by attention to detail, is part of a series of satires and grotesques of the professions from the 1700s. Little is known about his life, but he is recognized for engraving a number of portraits. He was the elder brother of Nicolas de Larmessin II, who was also a French artist. The goal of Nicolas de Larmessin's artwork depicting artisans and skilled laborers is not fully documented.Source: Perplexity.aiVOICE NOTE TRANSCRIPT:Nicolas de Larmessin I (1632-1694) was a printmaker, known for his portraiture and his works on the different trades. He began learning the trade while apprenticing to the engraver Jean Mathieu in 1647. In 1654, de Larmessin later married the daughter of print-publisher and print-seller Pierre Bertrand, and worked for his father-in-law, taking over his stock in 1678 at Bertrand’s death.

Asa Dodge Smith was an American Presbyterian preacher and the seventh president of Dartmouth College from 1863 until his death in 187723.

Audubon animals shot 2023-08-12
7/16/24John James Audubon (1785-1851) was a French-American ornithologist, naturalist, and artist who made significant contributions to the field of ornithology and wildlife art[2]. He is best known for his ambitious project to document and illustrate all the bird species of North America, which resulted in his seminal work "The Birds of America" (1827-1839)[1][2].Audubon's importance stems from several key factors:1. Artistic and scientific contributions: His detailed, life-size illustrations of North American birds in their natural habitats set a new standard for wildlife art and ornithological documentation[2]. "The Birds of America" is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed[2].2. Discovery of new species: Audubon identified 25 new bird species and 12 new subspecies, contributing to the scientific understanding of North American avifauna[2][3].3. Influence on ornithology: His work inspired many later ornithologists and naturalists, including Charles Darwin, who quoted Audubon in "On the Origin of Species"[2][4].4. Conservation legacy: Although Audubon himself did not establish it, the National Audubon Society, founded in 1905 and named in his honor, has become a major force in bird conservation and environmental protection[2][3].5. Cultural impact: Audubon's name has become synonymous with bird conservation and study in North America, with numerous places, organizations, and institutions bearing his name[2].It's important to note that while Audubon made significant contributions to ornithology and art, his legacy is complicated by his personal history. He enslaved people, held racist views, and was critical of emancipation[1][3]. This has led to ongoing discussions about his place in history and the use of his name by conservation organizations[3].Despite these controversies, Audubon's artistic and scientific work remains highly influential in the fields of ornithology and wildlife art, cementing his place as a significant figure in the history of American natural science.Source: Perplexity.aiGabrielle Lykeyword: richbreiman

Tabulae Sceleti - Bernhard Siegfried Albinus - 1749
5/28/2023 I shot these images with my friend Rich Breiman (@rbreiman) in early 2020, just before the pandemic, when we were beginners at image collection. Despite the uneven lighting, I love and appreciate the beauty and intricacy of the images. Tom Paper (@tomadmin) 5/21/2023Bernhard Siegfried Albinus (originally Weiss; 24 February 1697 – 9 September 1770) was a German-born Dutch anatomist. He served a professor of medicine at the University of Leiden like his father Bernhard Albinus (1653–1721). He also published a large-format artistic atlas of human anatomy, with engravings made by Jan Wandelaar.Wikipedia-------7/21/24 (updated 11/25/25)Tabulae Sceleti et Musculorum Corporis Humani is a monumental anatomical atlas created by Bernhard Siegfried Albinus, first published in Leiden in 1747. The work is renowned for its scientific accuracy as well as its artistry. Albinus collaborated closely with the engraver Jan Wandelaar, using a new technique involving grids to trace and proportion the anatomical illustrations, which minimized distortions and enhanced realism.Albinus aimed to depict the "perfect human" (homo perfectus) by selecting an ideal skeleton and muscles from multiple cadavers to represent ideal human proportions. He emphasized three key standards in his work: symmetry, objectivity, and vitality. Symmetry referred to the balanced distribution of parts in the body, objectivity was achieved through a precise system of squares and grids, and vitality was conveyed by posing skeletons and muscles in lifelike positions with artistic backgrounds to create a sense of life and harmony.The atlas includes detailed illustrations of skeletons and layered muscle men, all shown in identical positions to ensure accuracy. Albinus worked meticulously to keep joints and ligaments soft for natural poses, and Wandelaar drew from live models to capture authentic postures. The result is a work that goes beyond a mere medical atlas to an artistic representation of ideal human anatomy, influential in both scientific and artistic fields.Source: Perplexity.ai--Gabrielle Lykeyword: richbreiman medhist

Etching, Engraving and Printing
Richard S. Breiman, MD, retired in October 2011 after 10 years of service to the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging. Breiman received his medical degree from UCSF in 1973. He completed a Diagnostic Radiology residency at Stanford University in 1979, followed by CT and Ultrasound fellowships, also at Stanford University, in 1976 and 1978. From 1979-1981, Breiman was an assistant professor of radiology at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, and a Clinical Instructor of Radiology at UC Berkeley from 1982-1994. Concurrently he served as volunteer clinical faculty at UCSF from 1984-1987. He worked in private practice as a radiologist and partner at Pacific Imaging Consultants from 1989-2001. He was appointed assistant clinical professor in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging in July 2001, became an associate clinical professor in 2003, and was promoted to a clinical professor in 2007. He served as director of the Henry I. Goldberg Center for Advanced Imaging Education, and more recently on the faculty at San Francisco General Hospital. “Dr. Breiman joined the Radiology faculty here at SFGH at a time of need for our department. His willingness to cover several niches helped us navigate through a rocky period and to emerge as strong as ever,” said Mark Wilson, MD, chief of Radiology at SFGH. ”His warm demeanor, consummate professionalism, and dedication to radiology education will be greatly missed at SFGH.” Breiman will return to the department part-time on a recall appointment to provide clinical coverage at the UCSF Ambulatory Care Center.UCSFkeyword: richbreiman

Colossi Maps
These colossi are cartographic curiosities as they were included along with two other images of colossal figures in Matthaus Seutter’s Atlas Novus published in 1728 and 1730. Four additional maps from this atlas are included in the exhibit because of their elaborate and artistic cartouches.Matthaus Seutter the elder (1678-1757) was an engraver, globe maker and map publisher based in Augsburg, Germany. He apprenticed with Johann Baptist Homann in Nuremberg and was awarded the title of Imperial Geographer by Karl VI in 1731. By 1732, Seutter was one of the most prolific publishers of his time and was honored by the German Emperor Charles VI with the title of “Imperial Geographer”. He continued to publish until his death in 1757.From the collection of Rich Breiman.keyword: richbreiman
