About the Item

Title: 19th-Century Lithograph of Early Stone Tools from 'Der Rittersaal' Series Description: This unique monochromatic lithograph showcases a collection of early stone tools, meticulously illustrated to reflect their historical importance. This print originates from the 1842 publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums*, produced by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch with historical commentary by Dr. Franz Kottenkamp. While the work primarily focuses on knighthood and medieval history, this specific plate reflects an interest in humankind's earliest tools, a nod to the evolution of weaponry and craftsmanship. The lithograph displays six distinct stone tools, each carefully shaded to highlight their forms and textures. These tools, with characteristic holes for attachment, represent early axes, weights, or ceremonial implements. Their inclusion reflects 19th-century Romanticism’s fascination with the origins of technology and humankind’s ingenuity. Condition: The lithograph remains in very good condition, with only light age-toning and some minor foxing that is typical of works of this age. The edges are clean, and the overall quality ensures the fine details of the shading remain crisp and legible. Perfect for historians, anthropologists, or collectors of early technological depictions, this print is a rare and intriguing addition to any collection. Its blend of artistic craftsmanship and historical relevance makes it ideal for display in a curated gallery, study, or library.
