Antique 1894 Cabbage ROSES Print Virginia Janus Half Yard Long Chromolithograph

Antique 1894 Cabbage ROSES Print Virginia Janus Half Yard Long Chromolithograph

This splendid roses print, entitled "Love's Offering", is by the Victorian artist, Virginia Janus. It is a woven basket full of old cabbage roses, which have that soft, heavy-headed look that was typical of the old roses before they were hybridized. No doubt this study was freshly harvested, and the roses had a sweet scent to match. Janus was a peer of both Paul de Longpre and Catherine Klein, painting at the same time, and exhibited at several of the same art shows during that period.

This print is a half yard long chromolithograph, with outstanding color. It was produced by the Chicago Tribune Newspaper, as an Art Supplement on March 4, 1894. The print is in VG++ condition with minimal wear, and displays beautifully. It is housed in a quarter-sawn oak frame, with ornate burnished brass corner embellishments, which have rose bouquets and leaves that compliment the study perfectly. It is also in VG++ condition. Overall size is 9.5 x 17.25 inches. We do welcome all layaways, so have a peek in our shop, where you can often combine items to save on postage!
