About the Item
This antique print is a fascinating piece of both artistic and educational history. It's a Color Lithograph from the series “Technologische Wandtafeln von Max Eschner,” which was published around 1895.
This particular print showcases the porcelain preparation process, illustrating the various stages of production including the creation of raw material, turning, firing, and the final painting of the finished product.
A few key aspects of this print stand out:
1. **Educational Purpose**: The lithograph was used as an educational tool, possibly in a school or training setting. The detailed depiction of the porcelain manufacturing process would have been an invaluable visual aid for students learning about industrial processes and craftsmanship in the late 19th century.
2. **Publisher and Artist Details**: The print carries the signature and address of the publisher, “Leipziger Schulbildverlag von F. E. Wachsmuth, Leipzig”. This publisher was known for producing high-quality educational materials. The series was likely produced under the direction or design of Max Eschner, whose name is associated with the series.
3. **Physical Characteristics**: The print is on wove paper and rimmed with canvas, featuring eyelets on the upper edge. These eyelets suggest that the print was designed to be hung for display and easily taken down, aligning with its educational use. The backing of a vertical tear, dust and stains, and edge blemishes indicate its age and usage over time. Despite these signs of wear, such characteristics often add to the historical value and charm of antique prints.
4. **Production and Use**: Produced by Schulbild-Verlag Wachsmuth in Dresden, these large-format color lithographs served as educational visual aids. Their design for easy hanging and storage (foldable after use) highlights the practical aspects considered in their creation, catering to classroom environments.
5. **Rarity and Value**: Given its age, specific educational purpose, and the fact that this print likely holds significant historical value. Its rarity is enhanced by its specific subject matter – the detailed portrayal of porcelain production, a craft that has a rich history and cultural significance.
Overall, this antique print is not only a beautiful artistic creation but also a window into the educational methods and industrial knowledge of the late 19th century. Its preservation and condition, despite some damage, make it a valuable piece for collectors and historians alike, especially those interested in the history of education, industrial processes, and craftsmanship.
