Ref.:
- In 1989, a Vietnamese fisherman made the chance discovery of the 'Vung Tau Cargo' by trawling the sea-bed on the Southern Coast of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The cargo was salvaged by the state owned Vietnam Salvage Corporation in a joint-venture operation with the Singapore based Swedish diving expert, Sverker Hallstrom. The salvaged contents was subsequently sold at Christie's Amsterdam in a two-day sale of 1011 lots on 7th and 8th April 1992. The ship was an Asian trading vessel that had been burnt to the waterline as it was almost certainly bound for Indonesia from China. Batavia (now Jakarta) was the centre of the enormous Dutch East India Company (VOC) where a mixed consignment would have been prepared for the homeward run to Amsterdam or elsewhere along the Nederlandish seaboard. There was little to date the wreck except a few coins of the reign of the emperor Kangxi (1662-1722) and an inkstick bearing the cyclical date corresponding to AD 1690. The best evidence lies in fact in the study of the porcelain itself that must have been produced within a decade of AD 1683, the year that ceramic historians regard as the official date of the re-opening of China's kilns at Jingdezhen after the Civil War that had disrupted the industry since 1630's. The contents of the 'Vung Tau Cargo' is a testimony to the rapid increase during the Kangxi period in the production of blue and white porcelain was made in a large variety of shapes for the Dutch Export market so that it could dress in large quantities the fixed ornamentation of a room. The popularisation of this fashion is credited to the French Hugenot Daniel Marot (1661-1752), the court dessinateur of King Stadholder William III and his English wife Queen Mary II. Marot's skills as a designer touched many areas of interior decorating with a concern for all details of a chic interior in a modified French manner which is well illustrated in numerous Livres published between 1702-1715. One thing he did not learn from current fashion at Versailles, where European fashion was increasingly set during the period, was to incorporate porcelain into room detailing, along the top of cornices, up tiered fireplace overmantels, on corner hanging brackets, inside door reveals. The style was to be fair, known in France, but the popularisation of this striking usage was largely his achievement; initially in Holland, latterly in England at Hampton Court and elsewhere. There was an identifiable 'Dutch Style' in this manner of display, which differentiated it from the Italians, Germans and Frenchmen who also collected porcelain during the 17th Century, and organised it in careful displays.

The original lithograph served as a poster for his solo exhibition at the Salon des Cent in Paris and was published by the French magazine La Plume. The Ensor exhibition came about at the initiative of Ensor's friend Eugène Demolder. The exhibition ran from December 15, 1898, to January 15, 1899, at no. 31 rue Bonaparte. The depiction of Christ surrounded by tormenting devils is derived from the drawing 'Devils Tormenting Me' from 1888 (Chicago, The Art Institute), later reworked in the etching of the same name (inv. 1998-B-92) and the lithograph of the same name, both from 1895. (link)

With a dedication to August Van Yper—presumably added later ('Pour August Van Yper James Ensor'). August Van Yper was an amateur artist. He became best known for his loyal service to James Ensor. Van Yper worked for and lived in James Ensor's house. Even after Ensor's death, he was allowed to remain in his home and received and guided visitors around in a personal manner. (link)

The offered lithograph is a later reissue of the original poster.
