Description

This article checked 33 sketches drawn from 1887 to 1888 remaining in J. Condor's sketch book, and made a consideration on these, the following points are obvious.<br> This sketchbook left by J. Condor is kept in University of Tokyo. This book was donated to the University of Tokyo from Helen, Condor's daughter, around 1966, consisting of four albums and one notebook. Hiroyuki Suzuki had already summarized about the age and place name written in the sketchbook, according to this, sketches with years of 1870 - 77 and 1901 were drawn abroad, those in 1880 - 1900 were drawn in Japan. However, the purpose of the Shimonoseki trip that Condor made in January 1888, including Suzuki, had not been pointed out in the past. Suzuki needed stricter proofreading for this album in the future, but its work has not advanced. Therefore, in this paper, considering the sketch by condor, which includes the above-mentioned sketch of Shimonoseki from 1887 to 1888 and the description of the sketch related to these, the contents of the sketch and the background of the creation are clarified.<br> In the sketches by Condor in 1887 to 1888, 10 sheets were reported in the past in Nagoya, Shimonoseki, Onomichi, Hiroshima and Kyoto, but of these, memos of sketches, which was conventionally considered as Kyoto, can be judged to be Senzaki located in Osaka from the proofreading with others. During this period, the point at which the sketch by Condor was made is consistent with the period and place of these Survey for the 1st and 2nd Capitol Building Stone Survey. For this reason, sketches by Condor in 1887 to 1888 can be judged to be drawn by Condor when investigating the building materials for the 1st and 2nd parliament buildings. In the sketchbook, we can see 23 images in total, including 5 images that describe dates and locations from 1887 to 1888, and 18 sketches drawn in Nagoya, Gifu, Osaka, Setouchi, Onomichi, Shimonoseki, without date, other than the above 10 images. From the contents, it can be judged that these 23 sheets were drawn in the 1st and 2nd Capitol Building Stone Survey of Condor. The sketch drawn from 1887 to 1888 remaining in the Condor sketch book were drawn mainly in the interior such as a floor space around the tokonoma in the inn used in the 1st and 2nd Capitol Building Stone Survey. In addition, these inns and ryotei were buildings belonging to the highest class at these places.
