The Distinguished Black Dutch White-Crested Chicken A Rare 19th Century Poultry Lithograph This striking 19th century chromolithograph showcases a pair of Black Dutch White-Crested chickens, an ornamental breed admired for its elegant black plumage, dramatic white crest, and refined posture. The print, titled Zwarte Hollandsche Witkuiven, originates from Geïllustreerd Hoenderboek, an Illustrated Poultry Book published in 1888 by Elsevier. Compiled by Julius Volschau and adapted for Dutch readers by Dr. A. C. Oudemans Jzn., this book provided an extensive study of poultry breeding, highlighting both practical and decorative breeds that were highly valued in the 19th century. The White-Crested Black Dutch chicken is closely related to the Polish breed, sharing its distinctive feathered crest but with a stronger historical connection to the Netherlands. These birds were particularly favored for their striking contrast of jet black plumage and a full, bright white crest, making them highly desirable for ornamental poultry collections. The breed was known for its calm nature, excellent foraging ability, and consistent white egg production. This lithograph was produced using chromolithography, a highly detailed 19th century printing technique that allowed for richly colored and finely rendered illustrations. The artwork is based on an original drawing by Christian Förster, a renowned animal illustrator of the time. Chromolithographs were created by layering multiple colors, each applied with a separate stone plate, ensuring depth and realism in the final print. The intricate feather detailing and dramatic contrast between the birds' black bodies and snowy white crests in this print highlight the craftsmanship involved in this technique. Condition Summary The print remains in very good condition, with well preserved colors and intricate details. Some minor age related toning and light foxing spots are visible, particularly along the edges, which is common in lithographs of this period. The paper remains stable, with minimal signs of wear, making this an excellent collectible piece for antique poultry print...

Aztec & Early Mexican Costumes, Set of 2 Antique Prints, 1500–1525 This striking pair of early 20th-century costume plates offers a vivid and historically valuable depiction of Aztec and early Mexican dress during the 16th century. Illustrated by Max Tilke and published by Ernst Wasmuth A.G. in Berlin, these prints belong to one of the most respected costume‐historical series of the period. Tilke was known for his meticulous research and his ability to translate ethnographic sources into richly detailed, accurate visual reconstructions. These two plates are among the most vibrant and desirable in the entire publication. Plate 144 presents warriors and nobles in full ceremonial and military attire. Jaguar warriors, eagle warriors, officers, and elite fighters are shown with their distinctive feathered headdresses, painted shields, quilted cotton armor (ichcahuipilli), and symbolic iconography referencing Aztec cosmology and rank. The colors and patterns reflect authentic codex sources, making the plate particularly valuable to historians of pre-Columbian culture. Plate 145 focuses on social classes and civilian dress from the late pre-Hispanic and early colonial period. Market vendors, weavers, young nobles, priests, and high-ranking women appear wearing garments such as tilmas, breechcloths, embroidered huipiles, feathered adornments, and body paint. Together, the two plates offer a rare, well-documented overview of everyday and ceremonial dress from Mexico around 1500–1525. The printing quality is exceptionally fine, with rich color lithography capturing the tonal variations of feathers, textiles, and painted patterns. These plates make a powerful impression when framed and are well suited for collectors of ethnographic art, museum-oriented interiors, historians of Mesoamerica, and designers seeking authentic cultural references. It is now uncommon to find both Mexican plates...

A beautifully composed woodblock print by famed Japanese printmaker Kiyoshi Saito. Many consider Saito to be one of the most important, if not the most important, contemporary Japanese printmakers of the 20th century. This print, which is titled "Daitoku-ji Kyoto (D)" is from a series of Kyoto temple images that Saito created. The woodblock print features strong, contrasting colors, beautiful wood grain, and a complex design - the cross-shaped walkway pattern which is highlighted by the small precisely placed stones is repeated on the temple wall. The wood grain in the yard, temple walls and sky add another layer of compositional depth. The print is signed in black ink and stamped/sealed in red within the image It is likely titled, dated (1960), and numbered (from a limited edition of 150) in pencil by the artist in the lower margin but hidden below the mat. Saito's "self-carved, self printed Kiyoshi Saito" personal label with his red chop seal...

A vibrant, rare and highly collectible limited-edition lithograph by Paul McCartney (British, b. 1942), one of the most influential cultural figures of the 20th century. Titled Beach Towels, the work is based on McCartney’s 1990 painting and reveals a lesser-known but important dimension of his creative life: his longstanding work as a visual artist. #5520 The composition presents an expressive, semi-abstract view of a beach, with broad areas of brilliant blue suggesting sky and water above a warm yellow and sand-colored foreground. A bold red beach towel anchors the center of the composition, accompanied by smaller gestural forms and a striped element to the right. The spontaneous brushwork, saturated color and simplified imagery give the work an energetic quality that feels both playful and distinctly personal. McCartney began painting privately in earnest during the 1980s, encouraged in part by his friendships with established artists and by his lifelong interest in visual art. For many years he painted largely for his own enjoyment rather than for public exhibition. His paintings eventually became more widely known during the late 1990s, revealing a body of work characterized by vivid color, loose brushwork, portraiture, landscapes and imaginative abstract compositions. Beach Towels is particularly appealing for the way it combines McCartney’s painterly abstraction with an immediately recognizable subject. Rather than rendering the seaside literally, McCartney reduces the scene to color, movement and a handful of visual symbols, creating an image that captures the sensation and memory of a day at the beach. This example is hand signed in pencil by Paul McCartney at the lower right and numbered 65/200 at the lower left. The image additionally bears the inscription “P McCartney 90” within the composition at lower right, referencing the date of the original work. The lithograph is beautifully presented in a substantial black frame with wide, professionally executed double white matting, which provides depth while allowing the strong colors of the image to remain the focal point. The overall framed dimensions are approximately 37 inches wide by 39 inches high, making it a substantial and highly decorative wall piece. An unusual opportunity to acquire a signed work of visual art by Paul McCartney...
