About the Item

Framed lithograph, signed ("Rónai") and numbered ("no. 50") by the artist. Also includes a silver József Rippl-Rónai coin, made in 1977 for the 50th anniversary of his death. The lithograph Femme Sous la Lampe (Woman Under the Lamp) marked the original print debut of its creator, József Rippl-Rónai, as well as the height of the color print revival in France during the 1890s. Commissioned by La Revue Blanche, a groundbreaking journal based in Paris, the print also indicates the close connection that existed between avant-garde visual artists and their literary counterparts in fin de siècle France. Indeed some of the most experimental visual artists of the Post-Impressionist period, the Nabis, regularly contributed prints to La Revue Blanche, which gathered a dozen of these into a collectors’ portfolio, L’Album de la Revue Blanche, published in late 1894 or early 1895. Rippl-Rónai became the only central European artist to contribute a print to this prestigious project: "Femme Sous la Lampe" was that print. The print first appeared in Issue 34 (August 1894). And was reissued in L’Album de la Revue Blanche, which consisted of eleven loose prints, published in an edition of 50 numbered and signed copies. Writing in 1948, Thadée Nantanson noted that the album had become quite rare. Jozsef Rippl-Ronai was born in Kaposvar, Hungary in 1861. He earned a diploma in pharmacology from the University of Budapest in 1881, but subsequently decided to become an artist. After preliminary training ant the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, he received a grant from the Hungarian National Council for the Fine Arts to study etching in Paris, where he arrived in March, 1887. In September of that year, he received additional funds to learn other printing techniques. Clearly the Hungarian government subsidized Rippl-Ronai as a printmaker as well as a painter, a remarkable prescient decision given the emergence of the peintre-graveur (painter-etcher) in the coming decade. The promising young artists’ international success would enhance the nation’s cultural prestige, and Paris, art capital of the world, was the logical place for him to forge a career.

Harper's July, The German Struggle for Liberty original art nouveau poster
By Edward Penfield
Located in Spokane, WA
Original Harper's July vintage poster; The German Struggle for Liberty. Original turn of the century lithograph by Edward Penfield. Size: 14 1/8" x 21 18" Penfield created this poster to publicize Bigelow’s lengthy history of the Germanic people, serialized in the Monthly as “the first popular interpretation ever given to the rehabilitation of Germany through the uprising of the German people against the Napoleanic invasion.” July’s number began the series, which was published by Harper and Brothers as a two-volume set in 1896. Harper's June 1895 HARPER’S The German Struggle for Liberty JULY [Poster for Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, Jul 1895]. German soldier at the guardhouse. Four-color lithograph: grey, blue, yellow, and red. New York: Harper & Brothers, published Jun 1895. The magazine Harper's, issue of July, confronts the problems of The German Struggle for Liberty. Shown a German soldier in a helmet and armed with a rifle stands tall, and yet an uneasiness appears on his face. At a closer look, one will notice that not only does the soldier grasp his rifle in support, but in despair. This Harper's July is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed. An restored fold mark across the middle of the image keeps this image from being rated higher (for an original 1895 poster).
