$3,600 USD Offers Considered1872 Signed Jules Cheret Poster
Fine Art:Printmaking:Stone Lithography
A fabulous antique French poster by Jules Cheret, known as the father of modern posters. Cheret was born in 1836 to a humble family of artisans. He had little education, but at 13, began what was to be a three year apprenticeship to a lithographer. Although he aspired to become a fine artist, he began to take commercial commissions for money. He bounced between Paris and London, ending back in Paris where he designed his first poster and met the perfume manufacturer, Eugene Rimmel, who helped ...
$195 USD Offers ConsideredBlock Print of "Vieux Rouen"
Fine Art:Printmaking
A wonderful scene of 'Old Rouen' done by a block printing method that perfectly complements the subject. Rouen was one of the largest and most prosperous cities of Medieval Europe, and is also known as the "City of 100 Bell Towers". Printed with five colors, this is a fine piece of craftsmanship. It depicts some of the towns well-known, ancient half-timbered houses along a narrow, winding lane. There is a Gothic window visible at the head of this lane with the spire of a bell tower above. The ...
$185 USD Offers Considered19th C American Lithograph of Mary Queen of Scots
Fine Art:Printmaking
A lovely framed, hand colored lithograph of Mary Queen of Scots. The print is signed by the artist Lucian Gray, and is also inscribed in the center below the image "Entered according to an Act of Congress by Lucian Gray in the year 1839 in the Clerks Office, South'en Dis't of NY" (the date is possibly 1859, I can't be sure since there is a flaw in the impression). It was printed by "W. C. Robertson, 59 Cedar St. NY.", and is so marked on the lower left bottom of the image. The other name that ...
$115 USD Offers ConsideredEtching of a European Riverbank Village
Fine Art:Printmaking
A pretty etching of a European town on the edge of a riverbank. A very nice little piece attractively matted and framed in a handsome burl wood frame that has particularly nice grain. I'm not sure exactly where this town is, but I am quite sure it is Continental and not American. Condition is great, with no problems to report. Framed in Brattleboro, Vermont, the piece is unsigned and measures 8 1/8" x 12 overall, with a sight size inside the mat of 3 1/2" x 7 1/2". A nice piece for a study or ...
$450 USD Offers ConsideredRiveting Engraving of Birds & Men
Fine Art:Printmaking
This is a fascinating piece, it immediately caught my eye and it was indeed difficult to look away. It is a true engraving, where the artist actually worked on the metal of the plate itself, a very difficult technique. There are two different plates, and two plate marks on this one large sheet, with a tiny face embossed in the fine, creamy paper below the bottom plate mark. The top plate is of three birds, and the bottom plate is of three men in identical poses. The similarities are striking and ...
$395 USD Offers Considered19th C Bull Dog Chromolithograph for Old Bushmills Distillery - Pierre Guerin
Fine Art:Printmaking
A wonderful piece of original, antique advertising art in a frame that has "The Old Bushmills Distillery Co. Ltd." impressed into it. An eccentric image signed in the plate by the artist Pierre Guerin, this grumpy looking bull dog was likely designed to hang in a bar and advertise Old Bushmills Distillery, the worlds oldest liscenced whiskey distillery. Condition is good for such an old piece of paper. I'm not certain if the advertising impression on the frame was once gilded or painted, there ...
$275 USD Offers ConsideredDrypoint Etching of Violin Player - "Paganini" - Max Schenke
Fine Art:Printmaking
This haunting image of a musician and his shadow is entitled "Paganini." The piece is titled in pencil on the lower left, and signed on the loser right. I am not familiar with the signature, and have been puzzling over it. The first name is definitely "Max"," and the second looks like "Orpinka" to me, but I'm really not certain of this. If anybody recognizes the name, please drop me a line. Condition is fine with no problems to report. The frame and mat are contemporary. Measures 13 7/8" x 14 7 ...
$395 USD Offers ConsideredYoung Girl Playing the Piano - Eileen Alice Soper
Fine Art:Printmaking
A winsome image of a young girl playing the piano. She is caught with her hands poised above the keys, intent in her concentration. This sweet little etching is signed in pencil, "Eileen A Soper". The listed British artist and illustrator, Eileen Alice Soper (1905 - 1990) is known for her images of children and animals. Condition is very nice. The piece is framed in a simple gilt wooden molding with a French mat. The mat only, has two tiny spots of foxing and a teensy water mark on the lower ...
SOLDSOLD Currier & Ives "Strawberries" Hand Colored Print
Fine Art:Printmaking
It's berry season! This lovely antique Currier & Ives print is in its original mahogany veneered period frame, entitled "Strawberries." It depicts a luscious bunch of berries spilling from an old fashioned berry basket onto a plate with another basket full and a trailing morning glory vine in bloom. A charming depiction of a spring or summer scene. Condition is good. The piece is in its old frame, and I have not opened it, although it probably had a wood backing instead of the cardboard that's ...
SOLDSOLD Mid 19th C Currier & Ives Print - 'Married' - Original Frame & Glass
Fine Art:Printmaking
A wonderful Currier and Ives print entitled "Married", complete with it's original, antique mahogany veneer frame and old wavy glass... just the way you want to find it. Even the 19th C hanging loop is there. All you need is an old Victorian picture nail to hang it from for that authentic 19th C look, although a picture wire has been added if you prefer. The scene is one of 'domestic bliss', a mother and father with their sweet young daughter. The girl sits on her father's knee holding a toy tin ...| Items 1 - 10 of 10 | Page 1 of 1 |
