Rubio Canyon Falls, Mt. Lowe, Cal. Kurtz and Allison Chromolithograph 1893

1893

About the Item

Rubio Canyon Falls, Mt. Lowe, Cal. shows a waterfall cascading thru a canyon of boulders and trees paralleling a wooden stairway and bridge. This historic image was published by Louis Kurtz and Alexander Allison who were one of the premier publishers of chromolithographs in the late 19th century. They were mainly known for their large prints depicting the battles of the American Civil War. Similar to Currier & Ives themes they were more interested in appealing to people’s patriotic emotions then historical accuracy. This print is a rare image from this firm. Rubio Canyon is a small canyon that begins on the southern slope of Mount Lowe and runs behind Echo Mountain. In 1893 the balloonist, inventor and Pasadena entrepreneur Thaddeus Lowe had constructed a railway to the top of Echo mountain and beyond with a pavilion that spanned the canyon. Eventually Mother Nature got the better of the project. As we can see in this magnificent print wooden stairways and staircases were built up and down the canyon to allow visitors to enjoy the beauty of the wilderness. A very historical piece of times gone by. This original chromolithograph is in very good condition.

  • Assemblee des Rabbins et Notables.. original lithograph by Theo Tobiasse
    By Théo Tobiasse
    Located in Paonia, CO
    Assemblee des Rabbins et Notables au 16 siecle  dans un village de Lithuanie is an original artist proof ( E. A. ) lithograph by  Theo Tobiasse (b.1927 -2012) , an internationally successful French painter, engraver, illustrator, and sculptor. He grew up in Paris during the Nazi occupation. His work has great depth and originality as he seeks to express the inner world of man.  Perhaps the hardships he and his family endured helped define his artistic expression. He has had many exhibitions around the world, in Paris at the Drouant gallery, in Geneva, Montreal or Tokyo, then London, Zurich, Lauzanne, Los Angeles, Kyiv. He also had a solo exhibition in New York and many more shows world wide over the years.  A visit to Jerusalem in 1970 brought him closer to his Jewish origins. He created his first stained glass windows on the theme of “Jewish Holidays” for the Jewish Community Center in Nice and a monumental oil on canvas entitled Que tes tentes sont belles, ô Jacob (1982). He traveled and immersed himself in the cultures he encountered, the jazz of New Orleans, Mexican archaeological sites and Native American totems. In New York, he met Elie Wiesel...
