Carl Albert Joseph Gaber (Carl Gaber)

Pekingnese (Japanese Chin or Japanese Spaniel) Dog on Pillow

Carl Albert Joseph Gaber's original etching and drypont engraving, "Pekingnesen" (Japanese Chin or Japanese Spaniel) is printed upon wove paper and with full margins as published in Berlin by Wohlgemuth & Lissner around 1920. It is signed in pencil by the artist, "Joseph Gaber" under the lower plate-mark. Although it is listed as Pekingnesen, this delightful etching of a dog on a pillow actually depicts a Japanese Chin, also known as the (Japanese Spaniel). The origins of this ancient breed is deeply rooted in both China and Japan, however it is believed the Japanese Chin first appeared in China. This toy breed also has a distinctive heritage and an interesting relationship with both Chinese and Japanese royalty. The chin looks like tiny spaniel, hence the name, Japanese Spaniel. This is a fine, original example of the famous dog art created by the German artist, Carl Gaber.

Title:	Pekingnese (Japanese Chin or Japanese Spaniel) Dog on Pillow
Artist:	Gaber, Carl Albert Joseph (Stuttgart, 1866 - c. 1930)
Date:	c. 1920
Medium:	Original Colour Etching & Drypoint
Publisher:	Wohlgemuth & Lissner, Berlin
Note:	Carl Albert Joseph Gaber: A fine German artist, Carl Albert Joseph Gaber also known as 'Carl Joseph Gaber' or 'Carl Gaber' came from an artistic family. His father (August Gaber) was a well known woodcut artist while his grand-father (Ludwig Richter) was a famous 19th century painter. Joseph Gaber received instructions from both of these masters as well as from Herzog Gunter, in Schleswig-Holstein. Along with producing many fine etchings and engravings, Joseph Gaber traveled and work in many parts of the world, including remote locations in both Africa and South America. During the First World War he accepted the post of Professor of Art at his native Stuttgart Academy.
	In both Germany and America Joseph Gaber became best known for his fine colour etchings and engravings of animal studies, most notably those of dogs. Pekinese were a particular favourite subject of the artist and during the early 1920's he created at least ten colour etchings of this breed of dog.
	"Pekingnese" (Japanese Chin or Japanese Spaniel) was commissioned in Berlin by Wohlgemuth and Lissner. A major German publisher of etchings and woodcuts, Wohlgemuth and Lissner also commissioned such notable artists as Lovis Corinth, Peter Halm, Kaethe Kollwitz and Max Slevogt at this period of time.
	The original etching and aquatint printed in colours reached its most creative period in the 1920's and 1930's. The most famous artists of these coloured prints were both Austrian; Luigi Kasimir and Hans Figura. Notable artists from around the world, however, practiced this demanding form of printmaking, often combining tonal grounds with the etched lines. They included Nicholas Hornyanski (Canada), Paul Wood and Lester Frederick Halpern (Australia), J. L. A. David and Marchetti (France). Joseph Gaber was one of Germany's finest practitioners of the colour etching.
	The volume entitled, Modern Graphic, published in 1924 by Wohlgemuth and Lissner, Kunstuerlagsgesellschaft MJ. B. H., Berlin W. W./ Whilhelmster.106, includes an etching by Carl Gaber with a depiction of a dog of the same breed. The title given is Pekingnesen, however, this delightful etching actually depicts a Japanese Chin, also known as the (Japanese Spaniel). The origins of the Japanese Chin is deeply rooted in both China and Japan, however it is believed it first appeared in China. This toy breed also has a distinctive heritage and an interesting relationship with Chinese and Japanese royalty as they were bred for the sole purpose of accompanying the ladies of the Imperial palace and the Aristocracy. The Japanese Chin can be found illustrated in ancient Chinese pottery and embroideries. The Japanese Chin is small toy breed and is generally black and white in color, although, some can also be lemon or red. The moderately thick neck of medium length sets well on its shoulders ensuring it carries its head proudly. They look like tiny Spaniels, hence the name, Japanese Spaniel. They say it was the Danish princess who became Queen Alexandra of Britain who drew worldwide attention and popularized the Japanese Chin. Here, a Japanese Chin is proudly sitting on a pillow.
	A Note on the pekingnesen, pekinese or pekingese: The pekingnesen is a small Chinese dog, and like the Japanese Chin, also has an important role in China's royal history as they were thought to be sacred dogs. It is a small sturdy dog with lion-like features. Its head is bigger than the body and its skull is wider than it is deep with a more foreshortened face. The pekinese dog is of no particular color, however, its nose, exposed skin of the muzzle, lips and eye rims should be black. It has long silky fur, large pendant ears and bulging eyes and is a favourite of many pet owners. The ancestry of both the Japanese Chin, and the pekingese are probably similar to that of the Pug. Many confuse the Japanese Chin with the Pekinese, so it is not surprising that the publisher listed this dog a Pekingnese.
