About the Item
"Dessine par Gallier" is a hand-colored engraving and etching by Pierre Laurent (1739-1809) and Pierre Audouin (1768-1822) after a painting by Eustache Le Sueur (1617-1655) in the 17th century. It is plate III from the set of three Muses, published in "Musée français" in Paris in 1803. It depicts the muse Terpsichore, thought to represent Calliope, seated striking a triangular musical instrument. It is held in the collection of The British Museum.
This hand-colored engraving is presented in an ornate antiqued gold-colored wood frame with a beaded inner trim and raised scroll work in the corners and the center of the upper, lower and both side moldings and a beige mat. There is loss of a small area of frame scroll work in the right lower corner and minimal discoloration in the upper margin, but the frame and print are otherwise in excellent condition. The frame measures 23.25" x 18.5" x 1.63".

- A Pair of Framed 19th Century Colored Lithographs of Tudor Scenes by Joseph NashBy Joseph NashLocated in Alamo, CAThis is a pair of framed 19th century tinted lithographs with hand-coloring entitled "Gallery Over the Hall, Knowle, Kent" and "Terrace Bramshill, Hants" by Charles Joseph Hullmandel (1789-1850) after drawings by Joseph Nash (1809-1878), from "Mansions of England in the Olden Time", published in London in 1839-1849. Nash's publication consists of a series of views of Tudor domestic architecture, which Nash said depicted "the most characteristic features of the domestic architecture of the Tudor Age, and also illustrating the costumes, habits, and recreations of our ancestors." The scenes of the aristocratic ladies and gentlemen (including Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I), who are depicted inhabiting the rooms of these great houses, were taken directly from the portraits on the walls. Charles Joseph Hullmandel, was involved in the creation of these lithographs. He was a famous British lithographer, who invented the "lithotint" process, which he named and patented in 1840. This technique, allowing for greater nuance and value gradation than pure lithography, was an ideal means of expression for Nash's historically rich and picturesque depictions of Tudor mansions and their inhabitants. Hullmandel is also remembered for creating many lithographs from the paintings by J. M. W. Turner. The "Gallery Over the Hall" depicts a great hall with children playing with skittles (wooden pins resembling bowling pins), a doll and what looks to be a St Charles spaniel, while a lady in Tudor attire watches over them next to a massive stone fireplace. Adults are watching from in the distance while a man bows...Category
