Title: Antique Arabian Horse Lithograph “Aleppo” by August Jäger, 1846 Description: A dramatic and highly decorative antique lithograph depicting the Arabian stallion “Aleppo,” published in Stuttgart in 1846 as part of August Jäger’s renowned equestrian work Das orientalische Pferd (“The Oriental Horse”). Unlike many static equestrian portraits of the period, this composition captures the horse in an animated, spirited pose with raised forelegs, accompanied by a partially visible handler, creating a striking sense of movement and vitality. The lithograph was issued by the Stuttgart publisher G. Ebner, whose imprint appears in the lower right margin. The notation “I. Lfg. 5.” indicates this plate formed part of the fifth issue in the first installment of the series. Das orientalische Pferd is among the notable 19th-century European publications dedicated to the study and admiration of Arabian and Oriental horse breeds, reflecting the fascination these animals inspired among aristocratic breeders, military circles, and collectors throughout Europe. The Arabian horse has long been regarded as one of the world’s most refined and influential breeds. Carefully developed by Bedouin tribes for endurance, intelligence, loyalty, and speed, Arabian bloodlines later became foundational in the development of numerous modern horse breeds, including the Thoroughbred. Their elegant heads, arched necks, and proud carriage made them highly sought after during the 18th and 19th centuries. This particular composition is especially appealing for its dynamic energy and theatrical presentation. The richly adorned tack, elegant harness details, and lively posture of the horse give the image a more romantic and expressive quality than many conventional equestrian studies. The monochrome lithographic technique enhances the sculptural modeling of the horse while maintaining the refined academic style characteristic of high-quality German lithography from the period. Today, prints from Das orientalische Pferd are admired both as historical equestrian studies and as sophisticated decorative artworks. This example combines strong visual impact with timeless elegance, making it especially suitable for refined interiors and equestrian collections. This print displays exceptionally well in dark walnut, black lacquer, or lightly gilt frames paired with a wide ivory or oatmeal mat. Its dramatic equestrian subject makes it particularly suitable for libraries, studies, country houses, riding clubs, horse stables, or sophisticated gallery walls. This is an original antique print, not a reproduction. All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The piece is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only and may not always be to scale.

Swans on a Quiet Lake – Graceful Antique Bird Chromolithograph c.1880 This serene late 19th-century ornithological chromolithograph depicts a peaceful lakeside scene with swans in different stages of maturity, presented within a broad, open landscape of calm water, grassy banks, and distant trees. In the foreground, an adult white swan glides across the water with its neck elegantly curved, while nearby a grey-brown juvenile swan and an older, darker bird stand at the water’s edge. The composition gently illustrates growth and variation within the species, a common and instructive theme in natural history illustration of the period. The swan, long regarded as a symbol of grace, purity, and tranquility, was a favored subject in 19th-century European ornithological works. The contrast between the bright white plumage of the adult bird and the softer grey tones of the younger swans is rendered with great sensitivity, emphasizing differences in age and development. The surrounding landscape is deliberately understated, allowing the birds to remain the focal point while conveying a convincing natural habitat. Produced using chromolithography, this print displays soft, harmonious coloration and smooth tonal transitions. Pale blues and greens dominate the water and sky, complemented by gentle earth tones along the shoreline. Fine feather detailing and subtle reflections in the water demonstrate the technical quality of late 19th-century chromolithographic printing, which sought to combine scientific accuracy with decorative appeal. This print is ideal for collectors of antique bird prints, waterfowl imagery, and pastoral wildlife scenes. It also works beautifully in interior settings such as living rooms, bedrooms, nurseries, country houses, or calm contemporary spaces, where its balanced composition and soothing palette add a sense of elegance and quiet refinement. Condition report Good antique condition. Light foxing and mild age-related toning visible, mainly in the margins, consistent with chromolithographs of this period. The image area remains clean and well preserved, with no major tears or losses observed. Framing tips Frame with a wide off-white or soft beige mat and a natural wood, walnut, or simple black frame. This enhances the gentle color palette and gives the print a timeless, museum-style presentation. Keywords antique bird print, swan illustration, swans on a lake, waterfowl art...
