Literature: Perry Rathbone, "Charles Wimar 1828-1862: Painter of the Indian Frontier," in the Bulletin of the City Art Museum of Saint Louis, Volume XXXI, October-November 1946, pp. 12, 35, 56; Rick Stewart, Carl Wimar: Chronicler of the Missouri River Frontier (Fort Worth: Amon Carter Museum, 1991), pp. 35-36, 227 (illustrated).
Exhibitions: Seventh Annual Exhibition of the Art Collection of the St. Louis Exposition and Music Hall Association, St. Louis Exposition and Music Hall Association, 1890; Charles Wimar, 1828-1862: Painter of the Indian Frontier, City Art Museum of Saint Louis, October 13-November 18, 1946; Carl Wimar: Chronicler of the Missouri River Frontier, Washington University Gallery of Art, Saint Louis, Missouri, January 26-March 24, 1991 and Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas, May 4-August 4, 1991.
N.B. The fanciful scene depicted here may depict the entrance to the Edo River in Japan, which empties into Tokyo Bay. The composition is thought to be based on a print or a compilation of prints, but the source has not yet been documented. Jeddo is the Anglicized word for Edo, now Tokyo. The change from Edo to Tokyo took place in 1868 at the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate, suggesting that the painting was likely named during Wimar's lifetime, if not by the artist himself.
This artwork will be included in the Kodner Gallery Research Project for the artist, Charles (Carl) Wimar 1828-1862.Condition
Condition: Framed dimensions are 37 1/2 x 44 x 4 inches.
