Nathaniel Currier Lithograph "May Morning" American Country Life Series C. 1855
Located in Incline Village, NV
This lithograph portrays a pleasant scene of a man in a top hat atop a handsome dark horse, with a boy riding a white horse (presumably father and son) in front of a country estate, while women gather as they water flowers, and children play with a lamb in the foreground. A man plows a field; while a horse is being groomed near the stable in the background. Afar and to the right is the sea dotted with ships here and there. The folio is mounted on cardboard and set in the matte. It is in very good all original condition; and housed and professionally mounted in a fine quality and attractive bird's eye maple wooden frame with preservation backing and frontal protective glass (important when dealing with 170 year old lithographs); it is the rare and desirable Currier large folio sheet example in fine original color. There is some toning and slight fading, The larger folios are more rare because they appealed to the wealthier sector of the population and were more expensive, thus fewer were made, albeit, knowing their more discerning customer base, there was more attention given to detail; hand coloring, and quality for example. This example has been framed and housed in museum quality conservation backing for over 80 years. I have had it professionally taken apart and I inspected the folio visually, and examined it with a black light and loop; as a result, I guarantee and can attest to the accuracy of my description of the lithograph. I then had the folio professionally remounted in their original frame with an upgraded preservation backing (see images of original folios out of frame and for confirmation of inspection). This lithograph has no tears, no touch up paint, and no glued or taped repairs. This is one of the four iconic and highly desirable set of lithographs made by Nathaniel Currier (1813-1888) dated 1855 from the American Country Life series. They are named; Spring "May Morning"; Summer "Summer Evening"; Fall ""October Afternoon"; and Winter "Pleasures of Winter". The lithograph was produced from the painting of well known artist Frances (Fanny) Flora (Bond Palmer (1812-1876). She painted typical American scenes of daily American life that were used by Currier for years to come. She was an accomplished artist by the time she migrated to the United States from England, and Currier commissioned her to do the country scenes for this series. Each of the original images are toned lithographs with applied hand painted watercolor. The lithograph reflects an affluent life style, showcasing grandiose homes and glamorizing the rural way of living as urban areas became more densely populated with the tidal wave and arrival of immigrants. Nathaniel Currier began his lithograph business in 1835 with hand colored images portraying outdoor panoramic, historical, pastoral, and landmark scenes and events, with which the middle class and the wealthy sought to decorate their houses. James Ives (1824-1895) was his accountant) and would join him later in 1857 to help run the business. The hand painted lithograph is embellished with script text in the bottom margin of the folio "Entered according to art of congress in the year 1855 by N. Currier in the clerk's office of the southern district of N.Y." "F.F Palmer...

Small History Prints Showing Crustaceans, Marine Life and Detailed Insects, 1832
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Rare Antique Natural History Prints Featuring Crustaceans, Marine Life, and Detailed Insects Description: This exquisite set of four original antique prints offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of natural history as illustrated in the 19th century. Published in 1832, these hand-colored engravings are part of Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm’s monumental work "Unterhaltungen aus der Naturgeschichte," a series that spanned 25 volumes and showcased the unrivaled craftsmanship of Augsburg’s famed engravers. Each print is a stunning representation of marine life, insects, and their detailed anatomical features, brought to life through the meticulous copperplate engraving technique. The vibrant hand-coloring adds depth and realism, showcasing creatures like lobsters, crabs, and other crustaceans in unparalleled detail. Highlights include an intricate depiction of mantis shrimps and their segmented bodies, as well as antlion larvae set against textural sand environments. These illustrations were not only artistic achievements but also served as scientific documentation during a time when the natural world was being explored and categorized. The engravings' sharp lines and vivid hues reveal the precision and dedication of the artisans involved. The natural history genre remains a beloved subject among collectors, making this set both a beautiful decorative piece and a valuable addition to any antique print collection...
