About the Item

Title: 1862 Trio of Yellow-Breasted Tits - Rare Hand-Colored Lithograph from Carl Hoffmann's *Book of the World* Description: This 1862 hand-colored lithograph showcases three striking Yellow-Breasted Tits perched on a tree branch surrounded by lush foliage. The bright yellow and green plumage of the birds contrasts beautifully with their black and white head markings, creating a vivid and lively depiction. The fine details of the feathers and foliage are accentuated by the delicate hand-coloring, typical of the high-quality lithographs found in Carl Hoffmann's *Book of the World*. The birds are depicted in dynamic poses, with one bird curiously pecking at the tree bark while the others are perched alertly, showcasing their natural behavior. This rare print combines the scientific precision necessary for ornithological study with the aesthetic elegance characteristic of 19th-century natural history illustrations. It remains a remarkable example of the artistry and attention to detail in bird depictions of this era.

Carmélite - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of a Carmelite Nun
Located in Langweer, NL
Carmélite - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of a Carmelite Nun This 1862 hand-colored lithograph portrays a Carmélite, or Carmelite nun, embodying simplicity and devotion. The nun is dressed in the traditional brown habit with a white mantle and wimple, reflecting the Carmelite Order's values of poverty, humility, and prayer. Her calm and contemplative expression symbolizes a life dedicated to spiritual reflection and service. The Carmelite Order, originating in the 12th century on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land, emphasizes a contemplative lifestyle centered on prayer, silence, and community. Reformed by Saint Teresa of Ávila in the 16th century, the Discalced Carmelites maintain strict adherence to these principles. Today, Carmelite nuns continue their spiritual mission worldwide, focusing on prayer and devotion in cloistered convents. This lithograph, part of the *Album ou Collection Complète et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome*, was created by the renowned artist G. Perugini. It captures the serene and ascetic life of a Carmelite nun, making it a compelling piece for collectors interested in religious art...
