Melodic Hues: The Blue-Grey Tanager of the Tropics, circa 1820
Located in Langweer, NL
This original lithograph is a hand-colored lithograph from the early 19th century, depicting a vibrantly colored bird identified as "Tanagra Episcopus Linn. Mus." This refers to the Blue-grey Tanager (Thraupis episcopus), a small bird found in Central and South America, known for its striking plumage which includes various shades of blue and grey. The term "Tanagra" is an older name that was historically used for this group of birds, which are now more commonly referred to as "Thraupis" in scientific nomenclature. The label "Die Pfarrelis Aertze. Mann." is more challenging to interpret, as it does not correspond to modern scientific or common names. It could be an archaic or poetic name for the bird, or possibly a transcription error. The lithograph, designated as "Iste Lieferung 3te Tafel," suggests that it is the third plate of the first installment of a series. The delicate and precise hand-coloring brings the illustration to life, highlighting the bird's detailed feather patterns and bright coloration. This piece is marked "nach der Natur gezeichnet von C.W. Hahn," indicating that Carl Wilhelm Hahn...

19th Century French Colored Print of "Chateau de Fontainebleau" in Gilt Frame
Located in Dallas, TX
Decorate a study or office with this elegant antique framed watercolor. Created in France circa 1870, the artwork is set in a two-tone gilt and blackened frame; the hand colored print protected with glass, depicts the chateau of Fontainebleau. The wall decor is in excellent condition with soft colors. The Château de Fontainebleau is a big part of French history! This vast building, in both classical and Renaissance style, is not only famous for witnessing Napoleon's imperial adventure. From the royal charter of 1137 to the fall of the Second Empire in 1870, the Palace of Fontainebleau saw the lives of the greatest French sovereigns from day to day. The original medieval fortress was replaced by a Renaissance palace under the guiding hand of Francois I. At that time, two Italian artists, Primaticcio and Il Rosso vied in talent and founded the first School of Fontainebleau. The Galerie François I, which leads from the royal apartments to the chapel of the Convent of the Holy Trinity, is most original with its décor of frescoes, stucco and carved wood in praise of François I. The Ballroom was completed at the time of the last Valois kings, under Primaticcio’s direction. With Henri IV, the new Bourbon dynasty took over the palace, and built new rooms with interior decoration placed in the hands of the artists of the second School of Fontainebleau. Louis XIII completed the work started by his father. Under the Sun King Fontainebleau continued to be the royal family home, and the Grand Dauphin was born there in 1661. The king’s nieces were married from Fontainebleau, and the Edict of Nantes was revoked there in 1685. Louis XV...

Mythos and Majesty: A Tapestry of Heraldic Legends Engraved and Framed, ca.1801
Located in Langweer, NL
This antique engraving in frame depicts various mythical creatures and heraldic symbols in old original hand-coloring. Itresembles the style of Friedrich Justin Bertuch. Friedrich Justin Bertuch (1747–1822) was a German publisher and patron of the arts who is well-known for his "Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), which was published in multiple volumes from 1790 to 1830. This extensive work included thousands of hand-colored illustrations covering a wide array of subjects, from animals and plants to costumes, mythological figures, and more. The images depicted in the engraving include: 1. A large bird with spread wings at the bottom of the image, possibly an eagle, which is a common symbol of power and is widely used in heraldry. 2. A rooster with dragon-like wings and a tail, standing on a pedestal, which might be a chimera or a cockatrice, creatures often found in mythology and heraldic emblems. 3. A phoenix or a peacock, burning with flames around it, symbolizing rebirth and immortality, next to a tent and a figure in medieval clothing...

Antique and Vintage Prints for Wall Decor

Prints are works of art produced in multiple editions. Though several copies of a specific artwork can exist, collectors consider antique and vintage prints originals when they have been manually created by the artist or are “impressions” that are part of the artist’s intent for the work.

Modern artists use a range of printmaking techniques to produce different types of prints such as relief, intaglio and planographic. Relief prints are created by cutting away a printing surface to leave only a design. Ink or paint is applied to the raised parts of the surface, and it is used to stamp or press the design onto paper or another surface. Relief prints include woodcuts, linocuts and engravings.

Intaglio prints are the opposite of relief prints in that they are incised into the printing surface. The artist cuts the design into a block, plate or other material and then coats it with ink before wiping off the surface and transferring the design to paper through tremendous pressure. Intaglio prints have plate marks showing the impression of the original block or plate as it was pressed onto the paper.

Artists create planographic prints by drawing a design on a stone or metal plate using a grease crayon. The plate is washed with water, then ink is spread over the plate and it adheres to the grease markings. The image is then stamped on paper to make prints.

All of these printmaking methods have an intricate process, although each can usually transfer only one color of ink. Artists use separate plates or blocks for multiple colors, and together these create one finished work of art.

Find prints ranging from the 18th- and 19th-century bird illustrations by J.C. Sepp to mid-century modern prints, as well as numerous other antique and vintage prints at 1stDibs. Browse the collection today and read about how to arrange wall art in your space.
