Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In his poetry, Dwayne Cole brings us along on a journey through the seasons where trees are our companions. His poems go deeper than mere appreciation for these trees. These poems are about friendships with trees and their healing power. Dwayne recognizes the interconnected web of life and that we are indeed in relationship with the world. The relationality of our world is beautiful. Yet, we often take it for granted. The trees share their secrets, and Dwayne helps us to hear. Trees offer us so much when they remain standing. Dwayne's poetry spotlights the eros of the world in his prose full of beauty, passion, and gratitude. His photography helps us see through his eyes and we in turn are inspired.

No Binding. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. Artistic Context & Overview A vibrant late Mughal miniature, c. 1880?1890, depicting two noble lovers dancing or engaging in a courtly embrace upon a terrace with a garden fountain. This North Indian work, likely from the Oudh/Lucknow school, exemplifies the poetic and romantic aesthetic of late 19th-century Indo-Persian painting, merging narrative and lyricism. Visual/Technical Description Executed in opaque watercolor and gold on a re-used manuscript leaf, this painting features two elegantly dressed figures (a man and a woman) in a dynamic pose. The scene is set on a checkerboard terrace with carpet and central fountain, surrounded by lush foliage and a flowing river. Persian/Urdu Nastaliq script frames the image above and below, set within ornate floral spandrels. Material/Manuscript Context Painted on a recycled Persian manuscript leaf; the reverse is mostly blank, with only faint marks and a single small notation. The absence of legible reverse text suggests the original manuscript was either blank or lightly erased before painting?still typical for economical use in late 19th-century ateliers. Condition (Summary) Excellent color retention and gold, with only minimal age-typical wear to edges and corners. The reverse is toned with a minor surface mark and no restoration. Sheet is loose and not glued. Provenance / Significance Typical of Awadh/Lucknow workshops catering to regional aristocracy or literate merchants. The manuscript support and calligraphic border add cultural and collectible value. Translation & Analysis (front and reverse) Front (Persian/Urdu, Nastaliq): Top panel: 1. That face, surely the light of the heart's garden, 2. By God?s grace, union with such beauty brings nobility, 3. Arriving at paradise?s gate, where purity and eloquence meet, 4. In this sea of beauty, the Lord of art grants peace. Bottom panel: 1. In delicate matters, one must always be attentive, 2. From the stature of the beloved, every return (to separation) is far, 3. Love is easy, but friendship and courage are necessary, 4. With the beloved, the heart remains at peace in the world. Reverse: Mostly blank. A single faint numerical notation is visible (?52?), with no other discernible content. Conclusion A lively and well-preserved Mughal miniature of dancing lovers, painted on a Persian manuscript leaf with poetic inscriptions. An excellent example of late 19th-century North Indian courtly art. Estimated date c. 1880?1890; value $1,650. Unique handmade miniature painting on a repurposed manuscript folio (illustrateur).…

No Binding. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. Artistic Context & Overview Krishna, crowned and haloed, dances with three gopis while musicians keep time; a peacock stands at the foreground. Night landscape with layered hills, river, and a domed shrine at right evokes the lyrical bhakti mood of Raas Lila. Figure types, foliage idiom, and palette align with late-19th-century Jaipur/Kishangarh work under Kangra influence. 2) Visual / Technical Description Medium: Opaque watercolor (gouache) with gold on paper. Borders: Triple yellow/red inner rules within a brown outer field cut from a written sheet. Iconography: Krishna in yellow dhoti with peacock feather; gopis in mauve, green, and saffron; instruments include tanpura/veena and frame drum; peacock at lower right. Stylistic notes: Clean contour drawing, stippled foliage, stacked hill forms, and crisp textile patterning typical of ca. 1860?90 Rajasthan. 3) Material / Manuscript Context Support is a reused Devanagari ledger/kh?t? page. The front margins preserve vertical columns of names and rupee figures; the reverse shows longer entries with underlined totals and common accounting terms (jam? = credit, udh?r = loan, kharch = expense). Two punched/pierced holes at the top suggest prior storage on a string or pin-board?consistent with ledger use. 4) Condition (Summary) Front: minor perimeter wear; tiny loss and old mount abrasions at top; pigments bright and stable. Reverse: writing legible in parts; toning, handling waves, and small stains; no structural tears through the image. 5) Provenance / Significance From a U.S. collection assembled from Indian sources c. 2008?2015. The combination of devotional theme, Kangra-tinged Jaipur idiom, and recycled ledger support is characteristic of late-19th-century bazaar production. The inclusion of a large peacock adds display value. 6) Translation & Analysis of Text (front margins & reverse, line-by-line) Script: Devanagari (vernacular Old Hindi/Marwari). Ink: brown-black. Layout: marginal columns on front; multiple horizontal entries on reverse with totals underlined.
