Scarce Currier and Ives lithograph print, sheet size 11" by 15", image area 8 1/2" by 12 3/8", titled "Prairie Hens".

The print is in acceptable condition, with the image area generally clean, and only one tiny spot of foxing visible, although there is a diagonal light crease at upper right corner, visible only when viewed in raking light...

A truly beautiful circa 1890 print of elegant Parisians strolling past and perusing the famous Bouquiniste bookstalls along the banks of the Seine River, not signed in plate nor in pencil but certainly by a listed or even important and well-known artist.

A civil war era lithograph showing views of Washington DC including a partial built Washington Monument The lithograph measuring 24” x 30”

This is an original Currier and Ives lithograph print, frame opening 10" by 8" (total frame 14 1/2" by 12 1/2"), titled "Little Snowbird", from the 1860's, in a nineteenth century typical American walnut frame with gilt fillet. Unfortunately, this very old print has been damaged over the years, and it is now severely torn at top. The title portion and "Currier and Ives" are folded under, as are side portions. Therefore, the principal value of this item is the frame, and the print is a bonus...

Original 19th century lithograph "A Scene in Old Ireland", by Currier and Ives, the famous American printmakers. This is a true antique hand-colored lithograph and not a later restrike. The work is framed in a late 19th century wood frame with gold inner fillet. Wood backing with rotary saw marks indicates it was framed after the 1870's. Measurements are 12" by 15 3/4" as framed (margins are ample but might have been trimmed a little in early days). The print is in about average condition ...

This is an example of one of the more desirable and scarce Currier and Ives images, the "Skating Scene--Moonlight" of the year 1868, the image measuring 7 3/4" by 12 7/16", the sheet a somewhat irregularly cut 9 1/4" by 13 7/16". The work is lightly taped to backing at the top corners only, so, it is not laid down; however, the condition is only fair, with narrow margins generally (just below the title at bottom, and widest at top, at about 5/8" or so, and the sides roughly 1/2" or a little les...

A wonderful lithograph circa 1864 titled THE COMMANDERS OF THE UNION ARMY LITHOGRAPH CIRCA. Measuring 26” x 33”

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...

One of a number of Whistler lithographs I am offering: "Gants de Suede", ("Silk Gloves"), 1890, measuring 11 1/4" by 8", mounted with hinges/tape at top corners as shown, in red mat, unframed. Condition: toned paper, semi-circular punch at left edge and some other roughness there, and fox mark below the famous monogram at right. Toned creamy color is difficult to capture in the photos.

This is a hand colored lithograph of the species Petroica Goodenovii (the Red-capped Robin, of central and southern Australia), 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). Gould's prints of hummingbirds are most likely his most popular, but over a period of many years, especially in the 1830's and 1840's, he produced a number of major works o...

Large folio size print, sheet measuring 18 1/4" by 24 1/2" inside the mat, 27 1/4" by 33 1/2" as framed, titled at bottom. This image was produced by Currier in 1868, but I believe this example to be a high quality hand colored RESTRIKE of a later date. It's a great image, with grandparents in their snug Victorian 1860's New England interior, a roaring fire and their granddaughter indicating the other seasons of life. The print is in excellent fresh condition; allow for reflections in glass....

This is an original hand-colored, 19th century lithograph print by the iconic American ornithologist and naturalist artist JOHN J. AUDUBON, from the nineteenth century series in the small octavo size. Inside the present mat, dimensions are 6" by 10" (13 1/4" by 17 1/4" as framed). The title is "Clapper Rail or Salt Water Marsh Hen" and this is Plate number 310 in a long series of bird prints in the small octavo size. I have not examined this out of the frame but condition appears to be very go...

A page from Harper’s Weekly during the American Civil War, dated May 11,1861.. the framed piece measuring 15” x 10”

Original nineteenth century example of a desirable ("New Best 50") small folio Currier and Ives print, "Midnight Race on the Mississippi". This example measures 10 3/8" by 14 3/8" inside the narrow old frame. It has been subjected to a lot of the mistreatment to which old Curriers are subject: toning, discoloration, and wear in the margins; also, a tear into the image at top right center, another tear from bottom edge through the word "THE"; and most significantly, a long ragged 8" horizontal...

A hand colored lithograph of the town with the fortress in the background of Van in western Turkey.

L'Ermitage has been lauded by modern commentators as the exemplar par excellence of the Art Nouveau movement, especially with respect to posters which played a significant role in publicizing and glamourizing its artistic expressions. One of its leading practitioners and exponents was Paul Berthon (1872-1934), a French commercial artist who supplied 3 prints, including his masterpiece l'Ermitage, for the highly acclaimed subscription based French serialization of Art Nouveau lithographed posters...

Large folio size (19 1/2" by 24" inside the mat, 24 1/2" by 20" as framed) hand colored 19th century original vintage lithograph print (1867), titled at bottom "Horses at the Ford" by the iconic American print makers Currier and Ives. A great piece of Americana, this print is apparently rather scarce. Hand coloring in various shades of green, mostly, makes for a most attractive example. I have had an opportunity to examine this out of the frame. It exhibits normal browning, and there are old...

Original lithograph print "The Great East River Suspension Bridge" (the Brooklyn Bridge), 1881, by the noted American printmakers Currier and Ives. The image shows the bridge, sailing and steam craft around it, including a steam paddlewheeler. The bridge was an engineering marvel of the world at the time and a point of great civic pride. This example of the print measures 10 1/2" by 13" inside the framing; much if not most of the margin area has evidently been trimmed, as was common with Curr...

Etching on very thin paper, "Charles Baudelaire, de Face", 1865, later, likely posthumous impression, by the famous French artist EDOUARD MANET (1832-1883). The work measures 3 3/4" by 3 1/4" inside the plate mark, and the sheet measures 8 1/4" by 6 1/4". This is Guerin #38 in the catalogue raisonne, and probably the 4th (final) state. The paper being very thin and flimsy, would lead me to believe this would NOT be a twentieth century restrike. There is a simple modern frame. Two tiny pinho...

Nineteenth century lithograph print issued by Sarony Major & Knapp, lithographers, 449 Broadway, New York, after a painting by Stanley. The print measures 6" by 9" inside the mat and 10 3/4" by 14" in gold frame.

Lithograph print "The Tyresmith", 1890, featuring a Chelsea (London) wheelwright's shop, by JAMES ABBOTT McNEIL WHISTLER (1834-1903). Forges and smithies are said to have been a lifelong favorite subject of Whistler. My research online suggests that this example is one of the 500 to 1000 examples printed from a transfer stone, to be published in The Whirlwind 2, no. 20, issue of November 15, 1890. It is printed on wove paper and has been laid down to a board so it has not been possible to sea...

PAIR of hand colored lithographs of two species of hummingbirds, Chlorostilbon portmanni and Cyanomia violiceps, drawn by the famous 19th century English naturalist, ornithologist and natural history illustrator JOHN GOULD (1804-1881). Gould's prints of hummingbirds are most likely his most popular, but over a period of many years, especially in the 1830's and 1840's, he produced a number of major works on the birds of various geographic regions of the world, such as Europe, the Himalayas, and ...

Examination of the reverse side of the sheet reveals that the image was published on July 5, 1862. This is a classic example of Homer's Civil War period wood engravings in Harper's Weekly newspaper, which was one of the most avidly followed periodicals in a now unimaginable age when electronic media did not exis...

A very rare and beautiful lithograph in full color by artist R.Knötel,of the hero’s of the Boer War with the names of the armies from Southern African Nations. Frame measuring 13x16”

A highly decorative item that will be certain to gather attention, an original 1896 lithograph by the father of Art Nouveau and giant of the Belle Epoque in Europe, Czech artist ALPHONSE MUCHA (1860-1939). The work will appeal to collectors looking for a purely decorative addition to their home or office, as the print at some time in the past was laid down on foamboard and also radically trimmed to the custom shape now outlined by the light blue inner mat. A tasteful outer linen mat was then s...
