This beautiful original hand-colored antique print, made by Ulrik Thersner in 1824, is a fine example of his work. Thersner, known for his detailed and atmospheric landscapes, would have drawn this view of Djursholm Castle with great care, capturing not only the architectural features of the castle but also the surrounding natural landscape and pastoral life, as seen in the foreground with figures and livestock. The aquatint technique allowed Thersner to produce gradations of tone that give the print a remarkable depth and a lifelike quality, a characteristic that was particularly prized in the early 19th century for the way it mimicked the subtleties of watercolor paintings. The composition of the print, with the castle situated amidst the verdant trees and the inclusion of human and animal figures, creates a harmonious balance between the built environment and the natural world, reflecting the romantic sensibilities of the time. The view "from the S.E. angle" provides a unique perspective of the castle, emphasizing its prominence and setting within the landscape. As a historical document, the print serves as a valuable visual record of Djursholm Castle and its environs in the early 1800s. As an artwork, it stands as a testament to Thersner's skill as an artist and his contribution to the tradition of Swedish topographical art. More about the maker: Ulrik Thersner was a multifaceted individual, having an impactful military career alongside his work as a draftsman and topographer. Born on April 2, 1779, in Kyrkslätt parish in Finland, Thersner began his military service early, becoming a ship's boy in the Swedish navy at the tender age of seven. His naval service during Gustav III's Russian War...

Traditional Headwear from Assisi, Naples, Viterbo, and Beyond – 1823 Print This charming hand-colored lithograph, labeled “No. 2,” is part of a series documenting traditional European costumes, focusing here on regional female headwear. Published in London on December 1, 1823, by Baldwin, Cradock & Joy, it was designed for an English audience eager to explore the rich cultural diversity of the Continent through costume. The print features six finely rendered bust-length portraits of women from different locations in Italy and France, each showcasing distinctive regional headwear. Their names are labeled beneath each figure: Assisi, Near Naples, Vallestirna, Lyon, Meaux, and Viterbo. The woman from Assisi wears a delicate lace veil structured in a geometric latticework over her head, with a red flower tucked near her ear and golden hoop earrings adding warmth. Center top, the figure from Near Naples is seen from behind, with her hair elegantly coiled and secured by a horizontal golden pin, finished with blue and red shoulder ribbons—an unusual rear view that highlights hair arrangement and ornament. The woman from Vallestirna dons a sharply folded white headdress with decorative red and blue shoulder ties and pendant earrings. Her appearance is modest, yet festive. In contrast, the figure from Lyon (bottom left) is depicted in one of the most dramatic regional costumes, wearing a sculptural headdress resembling a bishop’s mitre, paired with a heavy cross pendant and ochre dress...

Japanese Edo Period Ko-jo Mask of an Old Man, ca. 1820 Edo Period (1603-1868) DIMENSIONS: Length: 15” (with beard) Length: 8” (without beard) Height: 4” Width: 5.5” ABOUT A Japanese Edo Period (1603-1868) Ko-jo Mask of an Old Man refers to a traditional theatrical or ceremonial mask crafted during Japan’s Edo period (1603–1868). Here's a breakdown of what this object typically represents and why it's significant: The term "Ko-jo" (or Kojo) roughly translates to "old man" or "aged person" in Japanese. A Ko-jo mask often portrays the face of an elderly man, typically with exaggerated age features: deep wrinkles, sagging skin, a long nose, bushy eyebrows, and sometimes a beard. These masks are usually used in Noh, Kyogen, or folk performances, and occasionally in Shinto rituals. In Noh theater, masks are used to express character types, moods, and spiritual roles. The Ko-jo mask might represent a wise elder, a spirit of age and wisdom, or even a deity. In Kyogen, which is the comedic counterpart to Noh, old-man masks are used more playfully, often satirizing elderly characters in lighthearted scenes. The Ko-jo mask may also symbolize ancestral reverence or longevity, tying it to folk beliefs and ritual performances. Edo period masks...
