About the Item
Bavarian Innkeeper Print Miesbach 1853 by Compte-Calix – Hand-Colored Lithograph
This charming antique print depicts an innkeeper from Miesbach in Bavaria, Germany (Aubergiste de Miesbach). It was created by François Claudius Compte-Calix and published in Paris in 1853 by Chez Aubert et C-ie as part of Le Keepsake de Costumes, a luxurious publication showcasing traditional costumes from Europe and beyond.
François Claudius Compte-Calix (1813-1880) was a notable French painter and lithographer celebrated for his romantic and genre subjects, especially costume studies. His detailed works provided both an artistic vision and ethnographic documentation, preserving regional clothing styles with authenticity and elegance.
This hand-colored lithograph, part of the Musée Cosmopolite series, depicts a stout Bavarian innkeeper carrying two large beer mugs, wearing traditional regional attire including a dark green waistcoat over a light shirt, a red chest covering, knee-length breeches, long striped stockings, and black shoes with buckles. His cap completes the classic Bavarian working attire, conveying both the pride and practicality of his profession. The lively depiction and careful coloring bring the scene to life with warm, natural tones.
Lithography, used here, was a printing technique that allowed fine detail to be transferred from stone to paper. Each print in this edition was later hand-colored with water-based pigments to enhance its visual appeal, making it suitable as both an educational and decorative piece.
Condition summary: generally good for its age, with scattered foxing throughout the sheet and a water stain along the right margin, not affecting the central image. Light toning is visible, typical of mid-19th century prints.
Framing tips: this characterful print will suit a rustic or traditional interior best when framed in dark wood or walnut, echoing Bavarian tavern interiors. A cream or light beige mat will complement the warm tones of the print, while museum-quality UV glass is advised to protect the colors and prevent fading.
Collectors of German regional costume prints, Bavarian cultural heritage, or historical lithographs will find this print a valuable addition to their collection. It also makes a wonderful decorative accent for breweries, taverns, kitchens, dining areas, or homes seeking an authentic European historical atmosphere infused with charm and character.
