About the Item
(20th century)
Theban Archaeopteryx Lithographica
lithograph
edition of 15 signed
Barbara Trupp was born in Nebraska and spent her childhood in
Montana. She studied at the Banff Centre School of Fine Arts in Alberta,
Canada; the University of Puget Sound; and the University of Michigan.
Theban Archeaopteryx Lithographica was printed at the Plucked Chicken
Press in Evanston, Illinois.
“The stone is the shape of the Rosetta Stone, unlocking language, [a]
key to the past,” says Tripp. “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you came across
a stone, chipped at it, and revealed layer upon layer of visual history,
images from sophisticated Egypt back to Paleozoic trilobites?
“Lithography stones, quarried from the Jura Mountains of Bavaria,
reach us from the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic, bearing fossils of the
first birds. The bird fossil looked like it was doing an Egyptian dance, and
that reminded me of the wall paintings of the House of Eternity in Thebes.
‘Paint the walls brightly, cheerfully, so that our souls will take the form of
birds and fly,’ said Sennefer, the mayor of Thebes, in the tomb of his
wife Meryet.
“Fossils and archeological evidence provide proof that others existed
before us, and allow us to see their thoughts. The past is with us. Like
Archaeopteryx, Sennefer and Meryet still fly through eternity, though
frozen in stone. Above them is the protective eye of Horus. Trilobites
represent a breathtaking explosion of Cambrian life forms. Between Archaeopteryx and Egypt, I wanted mammals.
Petroglyphs. Human marks. Because my right hand is the trained hand, I drew with my left, childlike. And
I drew with a stick, dipped in asphaltum, and a ratty old brush. After all, the Egyptians didn’t use Grumbacher
brushes, did they?”

- Tom Sawyer Detective by Mark Twain: 19th C. Framed Colored PosterBy Edward PenfieldLocated in Alamo, CAThis lithographic colored advertising poster entitled "Tom Sawyer Detective, A New Story by Mark Twain" was created by Edward Penfield in 1897 for Harper & Brothers. The artist's signature appears in the plate in the lower left. The poster depicts a man in a long black bathing suit sitting with his knees up, aimlessly smoking a cigarette, but looking out of the corner of his eyes at a woman in a olive green dress and tan blouse and a black hat, who sits to his left with her head propped in her left hand and a bored or concerned look on her face. The look on the faces of the couple creates an air of mystery. The title of the book is printed in red in the upper left and the issue "Harper's August" in bold letters in the lower poster. The poster promotes a new book by Mark Twain that was published initially in two issues of Harper's Monthly and also in book form by Harper & Brothers in 1896. It is a sequel to "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", published in 1876, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", published in 1884, and "Tom Sawyer Abroad", also published in 1894. The plot of the book involves Tom Sawyer attempting to solve a mysterious murder. The story is told using the first-person narrative voice of his friend Huck Finn...Category
