Engraving on paper, the sheet 16" by 13 /4" (23 3/4" by 20" as framed), the subject man's cruelty to animals. This work, part of a series of images dealing with the subject, has become over time a landmark commentary on man's cruelty to his fellow creatures.

**ONE OF TWO EXAMPLES OF THIS SAME PRINT IN MY SHOP, COMPARE THE OTHER, PRINTED IN DIFFERENT COLORS** From the skilled hand of the noted Art Nouveau period painter, illustrator and decorator HENRI BELLERY-DESFONTAINES (1867-1910) comes this well known image "L'Illusion", printed in the year 1897 by F. Champenois in Paris for the popular series "L'Estampe Moderne". The image is a dreamy one, with undertones of male and female sexuality. Note the different bluish colors and the white highlights...

Pencil signed limited edition print, unframed, titled at bottom left margin "Minnesota Farm" and signed and dated at lower right by the by noted American WPA Regionalist artist ADOLF DEHN (1895-1968). This lithograph sheet measures 12 3/4" by 16 1/4". The artist printed 100 copies ("100 prints" at lower left margin in his hand in pencil). This one has been abused in its lifetime, but, who knows how many of the one hundred remain, and in what condition they might be found...

This is a hand colored lithograph of the species Leiothrix luteus, drawn by the famous 19th century English naturalist, ornithologist and natural history illustrator JOHN GOULD, the lithographic plate produced by his assistant Henry Constantine Richter (1821-1902)...

Lithograph on paper, 11 1/2" by 14 1/2" inside the mat, 19" by 23" as framed, (no glass), the title at bottom "The Peerless GOLDSMITH MAID, driven by Budd Doble./"THE QUEEN OF TROTTERS" UNRIVALLED IN THE WORLD." This is a popular, folky image of an apparently well known 19th century trotting horse pulling the single driver of the sulky...

One of an identically framed pair of Currier trotter horse prints in my shop, this example, "The Grand Horse ST. JULIEN, the 'King of Trotters'." (measuring 11 1/2" by 14 1/2" inside the mat, and 19" by 23" framed), is in very good condition. The print is after a painting by the noted American artist Scott Leighton. I have not examined it out of the frame but for the most part, the kinds of problems that most Currier and Ives print acquire over time are not present...

Lithograph with hand coloring from the Imperial folio quadrupeds series circa 1846, plate number 85, depicting the species Meriones americanus, Barton (the jumping mouse), by the important American naturalist artist and lithographer JOHN JAMES AUDUBON (1785-1851).

A nineteenth century gentleman deep in thought, searching for the answer to an obviously vexing problem, is the subject of this etching, created in the late 1870's by artist Leon Richeton (1854-1934) after the original painting by Scottish artist ERSKINE NICOL (1825-1904). The artist was born in Edinburgh and taught in Ireland in the years surrounding the Great Potato Famine of the late 1840's...

This is a large lithograph, 32 1/2" by 22 3/4", unframed, the subject a reclining nude in a claustrophobic room hung with framed artworks, signed at lower right in pencil by the artist WILLIAM BRICE, and numbered at lower left 5/20 examples. The work was created in 1962 and bears the blindstamp of Tamarind, as well as another unidentified blind stamp on the front and an ink stamp of a gallery, or printer, on the reverse...

Decorative lithograph in colors, 13 1/4" by 19 3/4" (22" by 28" as framed), unsigned, with The Collector's Guild label affixed to the backing, 1973, (titled there as "Homecoming", but from what I can determine, "Monumental" is the title in common use). This is a decorative print in excellent condition, the paper white and fresh and colors unfaded...

Dramatic linocut print, the sheet 26 1/4" by 17 7/8", unframed, numbered at lower left 3/6 and pencil signed at lower right and dated there 1971, the "HB" blind stamp adjacent, by the important and still highly underrated Swiss-California modernist HANS GUSTAV BURKHARDT (1904-1994). The subject is somewhat uncertain; perhaps a look at a catalogue raisonne of the artist's graphic works would provide the title. Burkhardt was born in Switzerland and arrived in America in 1924...

This little lithograph (4 3/4" by 6", 10 1/2" by 11" framed) is titled at bottom "Res. of Levi Davis, Jr., Esq.,/Secs. 28 and 29, Big Rock Tpl, Kane Co., Ill." It is a typical view of a prosperous new homestead in the nineteenth century. Estate owners commonly commissioned local artists to create an image of the proud homes and farms springing up in 19th century America, and this is one of those images, now firmly part of Americana. Horse-drawn carriages and buggies, gingerbread homes and nea...

Old, vintage print, somewhat resembling a chromolithograph when viewed with a magnifier, 26" by 20 1/4" as framed, the subject lush red roses and fresh green leaves. I thought that this might have been an original work but determined that it is actually a print, though a very good one. If you are decorating in Shabby Chic style, or just like roses and still life works, you might add this to your collection. The condition of the print itself is very good, with just some very even light oxidati...

Samuel Colman (1832-1920, sometimes misspelled as "Coleman") is today regarded as an important American artist of the nineteenth century, some of his works selling into the six figures at major auction. A traveler, he strayed far from his New England roots, taking in exotic locales in the Mediterranean, continental Europe, Mexico, and, notably, the American West. After training under Asher B. Durand and Carolus-Duran, he exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York as early as 1850,...

The artist, Massachusetts-born PHILIP LITTLE (1857-1942) was a highly regarded impressionist American painter and etcher, an artist who had a truly American vision as he was not educated in Europe. After considering entering his fathe...

Original unframed etching on paper, 8 1/8" by 12 3/8" inside the mat (the sheet 10" by 14"), signed in the plate and dated there 42, and pencil signed in the nearby lower right margin by the noted American printmaker LUIGI LUCIONI (1900-1988). **ONE OF SEVERAL PRINTS BY THE ARTIST IN MY SHOP**, this is no doubt a Vermont landscape scene, as Lucioni's prints largely deal with the classic mountain scenery, barns and farms of that rural state. The title is "Two Silos", and this was issued for the A...

Offered together as a pair, these are hand colored stipple engraving botanical prints, one titled "Neottia speciosa", the other "Paonia albiflora", by the highly important Belgian-born botanical artist of the late years of the 18th century and early years of the 19th, PIERRE-JOSEPH REDOUTE (1759-1840). The original drawings from which the images derive were created sometime around 1810. Redoute was renowned in his own time for his skills, patronized by none other than Marie Antoinette and the ...

Serigraph (silkscreen) print after a painting by the giant of modern art, GEORGES BRAQUE (1882-1963), 18" by 27 1/2" (25" by 34 1/2" framed), signed in the print at lower left. Braque needs little introduction, as one of the famous names of modern art, who in the early years of the century developed, along with his friend Picasso, the Cubism movement, which changed the art world forever. Throughout his life he interacted with other famous artists including Friesz, Derain, Matisse, Laurencin, D...

Circa 1865 chromolithograph print "Birthplace of Whittier, The Poet", (Haverhill, Massachusetts), 16 1/2" by 25 1/2" (22 1/2" by 32" as framed), published by Louis Prang of Boston and bearing his blue canvas stamp on the reverse, the artist being THOMAS HILL (1829-1908), the noted English-born painter who went on to work in New England and then the American West including California. His important paintings of such western wonders as Yosemite now bring hundreds of thousands of dollars; this ima...

A lithograph poster printed by Maeght, 24" by 16", to be shipped unframed (flat or tube-rolled as per buyer preference), circa 1980's, publicizing the gallery's long and fruitful relationship with the famous Spanish artist JOAN MIRO (1893-1983). Miro of course needs little introduction, as one of the best known artists of the twentieth century, his colorful iconic imagery by now firmly integrated into modern visual culture. The first photo shows the print in a metal frame, behind glass; again, ...

Circa 1940's vintage period original lithograph print of the famous Alamo fort in San Antonio, Texas, pencil signed in the margin at lower right and dedicated "To Sally & Stan--M. Crittenden", and titled at lower left "The Alamo". The work measures 12 1/2" by 9 3/4" inside the mat, and 18 1/2" by 15 1/4" as framed. I have opened this up to take a peek inside, and have found that the mat is permanently affixed to the margins of the print. There is some browning around the mat edges but bas...

By the highly important German impressionist and expressionist artist LOVIS CORINTH (1858-1925) is this soft-ground etching, 9" by 6 1/2" inside the present mat, the size as framed 20" by 15 1/2", titled "Portrait of Hermann Struck", signed in pencil by the artist in the lower right margin and by the printer Heinrich Wetterroth at lower left margin (along with other difficult to decipher information, written in fine pencil), and dated in the plate at upper right "1911".

Monotype, 10 1/4" by 13", as framed 14 3/4" by 17 1/2" (a monotype is a unique work of art made by pressing against paper the still-wet ink or painted design which the artist has placed on a glass or metal plate), signed at lower left in pencil and dated there 1987, by the important and still highly underrated Swiss-California modernist HANS GUSTAV BURKHARDT (1904-1994).

In Dresden, Sima studied painting and graphic art under Otto Dix, whose...

Plate signed etching, 13" by 10 1/4" inside the mat, the sheet 16" by 13 3/4", titled "Rue de la Glaciere", 1937, by the famous and important French modern artist MAURICE de VLAMINCK (1876-1958). The original edition is given as 400 or 500 examples; later restrikes might exist. I do not know if this might be one of them. The paper is very thin and delicate and appears ribbed as would laid style paper. I do not see any watermarks. Vlaminck is known as a Fauvist and later simply as an expressio...

This is an image of a young African-American boy grinning while leaning against a building, the image mounted on a board signed by the photographer, Arthur S. Little. After googling the name I find that around the late 'teens and early twenties, there was a photographer in Los Angeles and Ventura by that name, though he does not seem to have had a high profile. I do not believe that this is an original photograph. The item is in good condition. The image itself measures 9 1/4" by 7", and the...

An etching of a Native American brave on horseback, by important California and western American artist EDWARD BOREIN (1872-1945). The print is a restrike, likely made from the original plates at some point after the artist's death. Measurements are 7" by 8 3/4" inside the plate line (the sheet 11" by 15 1/4", and 16" by 18" as framed in worn black painted oak circa 1920 frame). Borein's place in the hierarchy of western American art is secure. He was born near Oakland, California not all that ...

Chromolithograph print of jockeys on their mounts in a race, circa mid 19th century, 13" by 19" (15" by 21" in modern day dark frame), signed in the image by the noted British Vanity Fair magazine caricature and sporting artist LIBERIO PROSPERI (1854-1928), who signed as "Lib".

Decorative botanical copper engraving print from 1806, after the famed English botanical artist SYDENHAM EDWARDS (1768-1819), measuring " by " as framed.

Circa 1850 lithograph with hand coloring, titled at bottom "The Flight into Egypt", published by the noted American lithographer James Baillie. Baillie began his career in the late 1830's as a picture framer in New York City, and then worked as a colorist for the Currier and Ives firm. By 1843 or 1844 he had struck out on his own, producing a wide range of lithographed images in the style of his former employer. At first glance most of Baillie's product looks like a Currier; only close inspec...

Poster of 1986, "EGE ART LINE TOUR", 27 1/2" by 19 3/4", unframed, hand signed in somewhat faded marker by the noted Danish modern artist, PER ARNOLDI (1941-). This offset poster is not in great condition, having been tightly rolled for a long time, and it is dusty and has some digs in the paper, and edge damage as shown (what appears as diagonal scratch at upper right is light reflecting in scratch on the Plexi). It proved difficult to photograph unless I placed it under the Plexi to flatten ...

This is a PAIR of color aquatints, each 8 1/2 by 12" inside the mat, 13 1/4" by 17" as framed, the subjects Notre Dame cathedral and the Seine in Paris, and the flower market at the Madeleine, each numbered at lower left out of editions of 500 and signed at lower right in pencil, by the noted French 20th century impressionist painter CHARLES BLONDIN (1913-1991).

The image is a very powerful one, similar to the work of Peter Hurd, in some ways. Miller was a painter, etcher and lithographer. I see a number of works online dated in the late 1930's and early 1940's, but after that the trail is difficult to follow....

Lithograph on paper print of 1897/98, titled "Kraniche" in German, commonly known as "Cranes" or "Swans" in English, the sheet with margins 10 1/4" by 14", unframed, signed in pencil at lower left margin.

A rarely seen print, featuring the familiar, landmark high bridge over the Arroyo Seco in Pasadena, California, by the well-known California plein air impressionist artist BENJAMIN CHAMBERS BROWN (1865-1942). The lithograph is in rich brown ink on watermarked paper (an "A" with eagle).

The oil paintings sell for significant amounts of money at maj...

Dramatic linocut print, the sheet 13" by 20", unframed, numbered at lower left 6/12 and pencil signed at lower right and dated there 1971, the "HB" blind stamp adjacent, by the important and still highly underrated Swiss-California modernist HANS GUSTAV BURKHARDT (1904-1994). The subject is somewhat uncertain; perhaps a look at a catalogue raisonne of the artist's graphic works would provide the title, but skulls and other references to death seem to predominate, and the ink is black. At lower l...

This is an engraving of the year 1821, measuring 13" by 10 1/2" (23" by 20" framed), formerly thought to depict Jeanne d'Aragon but now believed to be Dona Isabel de Requesens y Enriques de Cardon-Anglesona, the image developed by Pierre Bouillon (1776-1831), engraved by Raphael Morghen (1758-1833), after a circa 1500 painting with elements by Raphael Sanzio and Giulio Romano.

**FOUR** pencil signed, numbered color etchings of Parisian scenes, by the well-known, widely honored and sought after artist, ANDRE HAMBOURG (1909-1999).

This is a fine print on a puckery, soft, Japan-like very delicate paper, the image featuring an obviously Orientalist figure and a greyhound-like dog. The print is after the original 1865 painting by the artist, that painting having been offered at Sotheby's auction in 2009. JEAN LEON GEROME (1824-1904) was a major French academic painter and sculptor and educator of legions of artists in the 19th century in France. Today his historical subject and Orientalist works sell into the millions . ...

This has been interpreted by countless artists over the centuries. Our artist is Giacomo Picollo (1905-1988). Picollo created a number of watercolor landscapes which appear at auction. Condition ...

This attractive and interesting print is a cover of the November 19, 1897 issue of the famous Parisian literary periodical "Gil Blas", which was issued between the years 1879 and 1914.

This work, titled "Le Vilain Homme", is signed and dated in the plate, by the important Swiss-born artist THEOPHILE-ALEXANDRE ST...

This is a monotype (generally considered an original work, the artist creating the art on a glass or metal surface which is then pressed against paper to create the final image---usually only one impression is made, so while some consider this a print, others might feel it is unique work). The artist, Pat Berger of Los Angeles (signed in pencil in margin and label on reverse) has been an active member of the art community in Southern California for many years. Born in New York City in 1929, ac...

This is an example of the rare and desirable Currier print "Woodcock Shooting", 1852, measuring 14 1/2" by 19 1/2" inside the mat, 20 1/4" by 25" as framed. Some of these are offered in fine print shops to $4,000 if in excellent condition.
