On the left screen plovers play along a shoreline. The elegant forms are executed employing fluid, minimalistic ink brushstrokes.

SMS Hertha: German Protected Cruiser in the Far East – 1903 Chromolithograph
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: SMS Hertha: German Protected Cruiser in the Far East – 1903 Chromolithograph
This 1903 chromolithograph by Hugo Graf from 'Deutschland zur See' features the SMS Hertha, a protected cruiser of the German Imperial Navy, launched in 1897. The print, measuring approximately 20 x 33 cm on its original 39 x 51 cm mount, captures the ship against an exotic coastal backdrop, hinting at its service in distant waters. SMS Hertha served in the East Asia Squadron, reflecting Germany’s expanding influence in Asia. It saw action in China during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 and continued to patrol German colonies in the Pacific. This piece, with slight wear and spotting on the mount, is ideal for collectors interested in maritime history and Germany’s imperial endeavors before World War I.
---
Here are some interesting facts and highlights about SMS Hertha:
1. **Service in the East Asia Squadron**: SMS Hertha was part of the German East Asia Squadron, a fleet stationed in the Pacific to protect German colonial interests in China and the Pacific islands. The ship's service in Asia symbolized Germany’s ambitions to establish a global presence and compete with other European colonial powers.
2. **Participation in the Boxer Rebellion**: In 1900, SMS Hertha was deployed to China to support the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion. Along with other German and international forces, the cruiser helped protect foreign nationals...

Antique and Vintage Wall Decor and Decorations
An empty wall in your home is a blank canvas, and that’s good news. Whether you’ve chosen to arrange a collage of paintings in a hallway or carefully position a handful of wall-mounted sculptures in your dining room, there are a lot of options for beautifying your space with the antique and vintage wall decor and decorations available on 1stDibs.
If you’re seeking inspiration for your wall decor, we’ve got some ideas (and we can show you how to arrange wall art, too).
“I recommend leaving enough space above the piece of furniture to allow for usable workspace and to protect the art from other items damaging it,” says Susana Simonpietri, of Brooklyn home design studio Chango & Co.
Hanging a single attention-grabbing large-scale print or poster over your bar or bar cart can prove intoxicating, but the maximalist approach of a salon-style hang, a practice rooted in 17th-century France, can help showcase works of various shapes, styles and sizes on a single wall or part of a wall.
If you’re planning on creating an accent wall — or just aiming to bring a variety of colors and textures into a bedroom — there is more than one way to decorate with wallpaper. Otherwise, don’t overlook what textiles can introduce to a space. A vintage tapestry can work wonders and will be easy to move when you’ve found that dream apartment in another borough.
Express your taste and personality with the right ornamental touch for the walls of your home or office — find a range of contemporary art, vintage photography, paintings and other wall decor and decorations on 1stDibs now.
