Georg Muller-BreslauDie Alte Stadt (The Old City) by Georg Muller-Breslau, Medieval-style lithograph1897
1897
About the Item
Two patrons examine art objects in Georg Muller-Breslau’s medieval-style poster for the 1896 exhibition of Saxon artisanry and works of art in Dresden, “the old city” (Die Alte Stadt).
While this poster was printed in multiple sizes and formats, this edition of 40 strikes on Japon paper from 1897 is the most desirable and extremely scarce edition. Japon paper allows inks to rest upon its surface rather than being absorbed by a more permeable paper stock. The rare, small format poster lithographs created at this time were printed using rich, dense, lead inks.
This lithograph was published in 1897 by Verlag von Gerhard Kühtmann in Dresden. This artwork is presented in archival rag mat and arrives accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Prang's Easter by Louis Rhead, Art Nouveau lithograph, 1897
By Louis Rhead
Located in Chicago, IL
“America was quick to reveal strong Art Nouveau voices; it was Louis Comfort Tiffany who encouraged Bing to open his salon, and artists Will Bradley and Ethel Reed exhibited a Japonist simplicity that presented a strong, refined take on the Art Nouveau ideal. Louis Rhead was born in England but emigrated to the United States in 1883 at the age of 24, and quickly found himself celebrated both in the United States and in France, exhibiting his designs in the prestigious Salon des Cent in Paris in 1897.”
-Quoted from Flowering Lines: Rare Art Nouveau Graphics 1883-1911 by Thomas Negovan (2017)
