About the Item
This 1958 lithograph by J.D. Carrick depicts an aerial encounter between two iconic World War I-era biplanes. The focal plane, likely representing a German Fokker D.VII fighter—known for its distinctive camouflage pattern and iron cross insignia—dominates the scene. The structure and detail of the aircraft are rendered with precision, capturing the mechanical mystery of these early war machines. In the distance, we see a second aircraft, likely a British Sopwith Camel, identified by the roundels on its wings, engaged in an active dogfight. Carrick masterfully captures the tension of early air combat, where pilots in fragile, open-cockpit planes fought at close quarters, relying on both skill and daring to outmaneuver their adversaries.
The use of perspective emphasizes the scale and speed of the aircraft, with the German biplane sharply tilting downward, drawing the viewer’s eye into the heart of the action. The muted sky, with its subtle gradations of blue and white, provides a calm contrast to the dynamic motion of the planes, enhancing the sense of depth and tension in the composition.
Through both technical accuracy and dramatic composition, Carrick invites us to step into a pivotal moment in time, evoking the fragility and intensity of early air warfare—a period when the skies became a new and perilous battlefield.
Owning this lithograph reflects a passion for history while serving as a reminder of bravery, innovation, and strategic thinking. In an office, it can symbolize navigating high-pressure environments, while in a home, it may simply serve as striking decor.

View All"The Bridge over the Seine Near Argenteuil" Oil Reproduction after Claude Monet
By (after) Claude Monet
Located in Pasadena, CA
This framed reproduction of Claude Monet's immensely popular painting, “The Bridge Over The Seine Near Argenteuil,” comes with a certificate of authenticity on the back and is numbered 1102, making it interesting for several reasons.
The artagraphic process used to produce this work in a limited edition of 2900 is considered the state-of-the-art in art reproduction and the most respectful approach to reproducing a painting by a master. In three steps, this technique creates a 3D replica of an original oil painting's color and surface texture. Colors are scanned with a digital laser and then printed separately using oil-based inks on a single sheet. A mold is created from the original painting to reproduce its surface texture and bas-relief brushstrokes. Unlike lithographs and serigraphs, there is a palpable material and relief if you run your fingers over the surface.
At the Impressionist group's first exhibition in 1874, Claude Monet demonstrated his deep interest in the motif by working on seven depictions of the Argenteuil bridge and four of the railroad bridge upstream. The artwork depicts Monet's immediate impressions of the scene rather than offering detailed realism. In these series, moored sailboats occupy the foreground, while the fluidity of the river melts harmoniously with the geometrically contrasted presence of the bridge and its imposing pillars. Monet manipulates his palette and complementary color schemes to create the illusion of light and movement through small, separate, and visible brushstrokes, making it one of the artist's most recognizable signatures. The painting displays a diversity of styles, with some elements more solid, having strong and distinct lines and structured forms defined by firm contours, while the water and the sky in the background give off an impression of moving space, floating, and ripples.
An original painting of the series can be seen at Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France...
