Vintage Chinese Lithograph Print

About the Item

This vintage poster from the 1930s melds the meticulous detail of traditional Chinese painting with the craft of color lithography. The serene landscape print depicts a young woman dressed in an ornate gown and draped with pearls and gemstones. Influenced by the rising Art Deco movement, these lithograph advertisement posters recall the luxurious economic boom of early 20th century Shanghai, and display a blend of Western and traditional Chinese motifs. Today, this type of poster is prized by collectors and preserved in museum collections both for its artistry and for the unique glimpse it gives of the past. Minor water damage and creasing.
