Scarce Currier and Ives lithograph print, sheet size 11" by 15", image area 8 1/2" by 12 3/8", titled "Prairie Hens". This is apparently a scarcer small folio image, as Cohenour prices it over $400 in his Currier price guide.

Original lithograph print, 1979, featuring, as the AskArt listing so aptly describes, "joyful scenes that depict the plague of childhood in a childlike way...". The artist was born in La Paz, Bolivia, and was in Europe while very young, receiving art instruction. She trained in printmaking under Johnny Friedlaender. By the mid 1960's she had already received recognition for her work, and in 1979 the UNICEF organization utilized her imagery in a poster...

An example of the wildly popular art of artist EDNA HIBEL (1917-2014), internationally known for her art in many media, the themes usually promoting peace, or exploring universal themes such as motherhood.

A large clean lithograph print in the advanced naive style of acclaimed Jewish artist SHALOM OF SAFED (SHALOM MOSKOWITZ), 1895-1980. The imagery is colorful and comprehensive, featuring blue sky with clouds, architecture, figures, animals, and interiors, along with embedded messages in Hebrew.

For the Norman Rockwell fan who can't quite swing a real drawing or painting, (a painting brought a record $22 million at New York auction in 2014), this is most definitely the next best thing.....a PENCIL SIGNED BY THE ARTIST limited edition print, numbered 55/200. This image was created by one of America's best known and best loved illustrators for the cover of the Saturday Evening Post edition of October 4, 1919.

ONE OF TWO OF THIS SAME PRINT IN MY SHOP, lithograph print in elegant gray and white on black paper, 27" by 22", (and 33 1/2" by 27" in silvery modern frame), pencil signed at lower right, and numbered 5/100 at lower left.

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.

This is a medium folio size (lithograph 12 5/8" by 15 1/2" inside the mat, the sheet " by ", and as framed 20" by 22 1/2") by famous American printmakers Currier and Ives. Judging from internet offerings of the image by major print dealers around the nation, the print is a popular one, although it is not among the so-called "Best 50". Note the horses, the ducks and pigeons, the turnips, and the hogs at left. All in all, this is a peaceful scene of another America in another century. This ex...

This is a work which reflects the skills of not one, but two, highly talented European artists. A large original oil painting of 1894 by famed French painter HENRI TOULOUSE-LAUTREC (1864-1901) was titled "Au Salon de la Rue des Moulins"; it showed a brothel scene in Paris with the Madame and her eager charges.

An original poster issued circa 1970 by Marlborough Galleria, Rome, for an exhibition of the works of the late, noted American contemporary sculptress and painter BEVERLY PEPPER (1922-2020).

The piece measures 40" by 27" as framed behind Plexi. Color is rich and not faded. The camera ha...

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...

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...

An example of the 1969 lithograph print, titled variously as "Mascara", ("Mask"), numbered in lower left margin 73/250 and pencil signed at lower right, by the famous Mexican 20th century muralist artist DAVID ALFARO SIQUEIROS (1896-1974).

Floch was born in Austria, but spent the later pa...

Original Currier and Ives lithograph print "The Straw-Yard, Winter", 12 3/4" by 15 1/2" inside the overmat, 20" by 22 1/2" as framed, the subject quite desirable: a white horse, a dark brown horse in the center, surrounded by a veritable menagerie of a winter barnyard in the country, including contented pigs eating their turnips at left, ducks and pigeons pecking away underneath and around the horses, and a pigeon even perched on a snowy fence post, face to face with the white horse, as other h...

A pair of fine lithograph prints on Arches paper, from an edition of 300 examples, signed in the plate, printed in 1966 in Paris by Andre Sauret for Mourlot Freres.

He completed the work i...

The poster is scarce, with a total edition of only 500 printed, and that over 60 years ago. Examination out of ...
