This lithograph, titled Omai, by Karl Joseph Brodtmann, is an example of the artist’s ethnographic studies, showcasing a portrait of Omai, a notable figure from Polynesia who visited Europe in the 18th century. This work highlights Brodtmann’s interest in portraying individuals from distant lands, focusing on their unique cultural attire and expressions. Description: The portrait represents Omai, a Polynesian man who gained historical significance during the 18th century as one of the first Polynesians to travel to Europe. Omai (also known as Mai) was a central figure in the encounters between Polynesian and European cultures, having been brought to England by Captain James Cook in the 1770s. - Clothing: Omai is depicted in an elegant wrap of flowing fabric, draped around his shoulders and tied in a loose, elegant fashion. His head is adorned with a large turban, a stylistic interpretation that may have been influenced by European artistic conventions when portraying foreign dignitaries or exotic figures. The fabric's folds and shading add a sense of depth and texture, showcasing Brodtmann’s mastery of lithography. - Expression: Omai’s expression is poised and dignified, with his gaze directed slightly off to the side. The sense of serenity and composure in his face is typical of the European portrayals of him as an "exotic noble savage," a term that reflects the European fascination with non-Western peoples during the age of exploration. The lithograph highlights both the individuality of Omai and the cultural significance of his travels to Europe, where he became a symbol of cross-cultural exchange and curiosity during the 18th century. Maker: Karl Joseph Brodtmann (1787–1862), the Swiss lithographer, was known for his detailed illustrations of people from various cultures, natural history subjects, and scientific studies. His ethnographic works were part of a broader effort in 19th-century Europe to document the physical and cultural characteristics of peoples encountered through exploration. Brodtmann’s portraits often struck a balance between realism and the romanticized European views of non-Western cultures. Technique and Style: Brodtmann created this portrait using lithography, a technique that allowed him to achieve fine details and subtle gradations of light and shadow. His style in this portrait combines realism with the romanticized ideal of the "exotic," particularly in the way Omai is dressed in flowing garments, which may not be entirely representative of traditional Polynesian dress...

"Pleasures of Winter" Maintains the appropriate markings along with "New York, Published by N. Currier 152 Nassau Street. (The firm was located here in lower Manhattan from 1837-1872) The lithograph portrays a woman leaving her stately home with her two children, being escorted by two drivers to ride in a double seated horse drawn sleigh. In the background is a snowy field with other houses and a loaded horse drawn timber sleigh. In addition to the Amon Carter Museum in Dallas, an example of "Pleasures of Winter" is in: The Library of Congress The Springfield Museum (Massachusetts) Gift of Lenore and Sydney Alpert) Metropolitan Museum of Art (Gift of Colgate 1962) Museum of Fine Arts Boston (Donated by Lee M. Friedman) Dimensions: actual= 16 1/2" h x 23 13/16" w matte= 19 1/2" h x 25 1/4" w folio= 21 9/16" h x 27 1/2" w with frame= 26 1/4" h x 32 1/4" w frame= 1 1/4" burl bird's eye maple 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 minor foxing and a tideline upper center (see images). 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 it's 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...
