Swans on a Quiet Lake – Graceful Antique Bird Chromolithograph c.1880
Located in Langweer, NL
Swans on a Quiet Lake – Graceful Antique Bird Chromolithograph c.1880
This serene late 19th-century ornithological chromolithograph depicts a peaceful lakeside scene with swans in different stages of maturity, presented within a broad, open landscape of calm water, grassy banks, and distant trees. In the foreground, an adult white swan glides across the water with its neck elegantly curved, while nearby a grey-brown juvenile swan and an older, darker bird stand at the water’s edge. The composition gently illustrates growth and variation within the species, a common and instructive theme in natural history illustration of the period.
The swan, long regarded as a symbol of grace, purity, and tranquility, was a favored subject in 19th-century European ornithological works. The contrast between the bright white plumage of the adult bird and the softer grey tones of the younger swans is rendered with great sensitivity, emphasizing differences in age and development. The surrounding landscape is deliberately understated, allowing the birds to remain the focal point while conveying a convincing natural habitat.
Produced using chromolithography, this print displays soft, harmonious coloration and smooth tonal transitions. Pale blues and greens dominate the water and sky, complemented by gentle earth tones along the shoreline. Fine feather detailing and subtle reflections in the water demonstrate the technical quality of late 19th-century chromolithographic printing, which sought to combine scientific accuracy with decorative appeal.
This print is ideal for collectors of antique bird prints, waterfowl imagery, and pastoral wildlife scenes. It also works beautifully in interior settings such as living rooms, bedrooms, nurseries, country houses, or calm contemporary spaces, where its balanced composition and soothing palette add a sense of elegance and quiet refinement.
Condition report
Good antique condition. Light foxing and mild age-related toning visible, mainly in the margins, consistent with chromolithographs of this period. The image area remains clean and well preserved, with no major tears or losses observed.
Framing tips
Frame with a wide off-white or soft beige mat and a natural wood, walnut, or simple black frame. This enhances the gentle color palette and gives the print a timeless, museum-style presentation.

Copper Engraving of a Sapper of the Swiss Guards at the Vatican, 1779
Located in Langweer, NL
This original print is Johann Georg Wille's copper engraving of a Sappeur of the Swiss Guard from 1779. Wille was a notable artist and engraver known for his portraits and engravings during the 18th century.
The piece depicts a half-length portrait of a soldier in the uniform of the Swiss Guard, likely in service in Italy, perhaps even in Rome, given the connection of the Swiss Guard with the Vatican. The soldier is portrayed as a sapper or pioneer, carrying out specialized military tasks.
The dimensions of the paper and the technique used (copper engraving on paper) give a sense of the physical aspects of the artwork. The condition report indicates some minor damage but an overall good state, with some restoration work done.
It's fascinating how historical artworks like this engraving can provide insights into military attire, cultural connections, and artistic techniques of the time.
More details:
Johann Georg Wille (1715 Königsberg, Giessen - 1808 Paris): "Sapeur des gardes suisses" Portrait of a man wearing a feather-trimmed fur hat and a sash worn over his uniform, breast piece with profile to the left, 1779.
Technique: Copper engraving on Paper
Inscription: At the lower part signed in the printing plate: "Dessine et gravé par Wille Graveur du Roi". At the lower part inscribed in the printing plate: "SAPEUR DES GARDES SUISSES ...".

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.
