Satirical German Military Engraving of Napoleon as the Little Corporal, c1835 This 19th-century German engraving presents a humorous encounter between a marching soldier and Napoleon Bonaparte, referred to here by his well-known nickname “the Little Corporal.” The guard refuses to let Napoleon pass, replying firmly: “Man passirt nicht — Und wär’ Ihr der kleine Corporal selbst; ich sage Euch man passirt nicht” (“One does not pass — and even if you were the Little Corporal himself, I tell you one does not pass”). The composition gently satirizes Napoleon’s legendary status, contrasting the anonymous authority of a common soldier with the figure who once ruled Europe. Produced around 1830–1850, likely in a German or Austrian print workshop, the engraving reflects the wave of post-Napoleonic satire that circulated widely in Central Europe. The artist captures the exchange with strong facial expressions, detailed uniforms and a richly rendered woodland setting. Prints of this type remain popular among collectors of Napoleonic history, military art and European caricature, while the crisp impression and large sheet size make it appealing as decorative wall art as well. A charming and historically engaging image from the early 19th century, combining humour, military history and well-executed engraving work. Condition: Strong impression; light age toning; minor handling marks; margins clean with no major tears or repairs. Suitable for immediate framing. Framing: Looks best floated on off-white or pale cream museum board in a thin black, dark walnut or antiqued gold frame. Museum glass recommended to preserve contrast and period detail.

Unknown - Painting Fallow Deer with Doe in the Alps, Oil on Canvas 19th century A lovely Biedermeier style oil painting depicting a fallow deer family in the alpine landscape. Oil on canvas 1st halve of the 19th century. Framed with antique gilded frame, stretcher frame replaced. A marvelous wall decoration for each rustig log cabin. The Biedermeier period runs parallel to the Romantic period and both are characterized by similar features. Domesticity, closeness to nature, folksiness and need for harmony are buzzwords of this time. The focus is on the simple, the conservative and the tried and tested. There is little experimentation and more observation and enjoyment. The art style is kept very realistic and shows great similarity to photography. Domestic idyllic representations, beautiful landscape and impressive portraits are the most popular topics for oil paintings...

The Holy Guardian Angel Protecting a Child – Antique German Chromolithograph, 1900 This beautifully composed antique German chromolithograph depicts the Holy Guardian Angel gently guiding and protecting a small child as they cross a narrow wooden bridge above flowing water. The scene is rich in symbolic meaning, representing divine protection, childhood innocence, and spiritual guidance — themes deeply rooted in Catholic devotional tradition. The guardian angel is shown in flowing white robes with a pale blue sash, her wide luminous wings fully extended as she leads the child safely forward. A golden halo and radiant star above her head emphasize her divine nature, while her calm and protective posture reinforces the message of constant heavenly care. The child, dressed in soft rose-colored garments and holding a simple walking staff, steps forward with trust and quiet confidence. The surrounding landscape enhances the spiritual narrative: a peaceful waterfall below, a distant church on the cliffs above, and lush greenery framing the path. These details reflect the traditional Catholic interpretation of life’s journey guided by faith. The soft atmospheric lighting, subtle color transitions, and fine detail are characteristic of high-quality German chromolithography at the turn of the 20th century. This image was widely cherished in Catholic homes, schools, and religious institutions, where it served both as devotional inspiration and as a comforting symbol of protection for children. Today, original examples in strong condition are increasingly scarce and highly sought after by collectors of antique religious art. An ideal piece for Catholic art collectors, children’s rooms, chapels, prayer spaces, and anyone seeking a meaningful symbol of spiritual guardianship. CONDITION REPORT Good antique condition. Light, even age toning throughout. Minor edge wear and gentle softening at the corners. No tears, no significant losses, and no restoration. Colors remain vibrant, with excellent preservation of gold tones and soft pastel shading. FRAMING TIPS This print will be beautifully enhanced by a softly antiqued gilt or champagne-gold frame to echo the angelic glow. A deep ivory or pale linen mat with museum glass will elevate the devotional and collector-quality presentation.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene – Antique German Chromolithograph, c. 1895 This striking late 19th-century German chromolithograph depicts the moving biblical moment in which the risen Christ appears to Mary Magdalene following the Resurrection. Christ is shown standing in quiet majesty, halo radiant with divine light, His right hand placed gently over His heart in a gesture of compassion and reassurance. Mary Magdalene kneels before Him with deep devotion, her long flowing hair and rich garments emphasizing both humility and reverence. The composition is set within a tranquil garden landscape, traditionally associated with the Resurrection narrative, reinforcing the spiritual symbolism of rebirth, forgiveness, and divine mercy. Christ’s red tunic and deep blue mantle radiate warmth and solemnity, while the soft golden halo creates a luminous focal point that draws the eye immediately to His face. This scene, known in Christian tradition as *Noli Me Tangere* (“Touch Me Not”), represents one of the most emotionally powerful moments of the Gospel story. It became a highly favored subject in Catholic devotional art of the late 19th century, commonly displayed in prayer corners, chapels, religious schools, and family interiors. Produced using high-quality chromolithography, this print achieves exceptional painterly depth, with delicate shading in the flesh tones, refined folds in the drapery, and beautifully layered landscape colors. The gold highlights of the halos and the saturated reds and blues are especially well preserved, reflecting the superior production standards of German devotional publishers during this period. This is a visually commanding and spiritually meaningful artwork, highly desirable for Catholic collectors, sacred art interiors, and serious devotional art collections. CONDITION REPORT Good antique condition overall. Light, even age toning to the paper consistent with late 19th-century chromolithographs. Minor edge wear and very gentle corner softening visible upon close inspection. No major stains, no tears, and no restoration observed. Colors remain strong and vivid. FRAMING TIPS This print will display beautifully in a classic gilt or softly antiqued gold wooden frame to echo the sacred halo tones. For a more restrained interior, a dark walnut or black lacquer frame with a wide ivory mat and museum glass will create a dramatic devotional presentation.
