About the Item

Title: Cranes and Blossoms in an Ornamental Scene – Plate XV from Section VI of G. A. Audsley’s Decorative Art Series Description: Plate XV from Section VI of G. A. Audsley’s exquisite decorative art series features a serene and finely detailed depiction of cranes amid bamboo and blossoming branches. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed by Lemercier & Cie in Paris, this monochromatic chromolithograph beautifully captures the harmony and elegance of nature-inspired art. The composition is framed within a bamboo border, emphasizing the Japanese aesthetic influence. It depicts a tranquil lakeside setting where cranes forage and rest gracefully under a flowering tree. The delicate blossoms and branches provide a visual balance, contrasting the intricate details of the cranes’ feathers and the textural elements of the shoreline. Additional birds in the background enhance the composition, adding depth and life to the scene. The subtle use of shading and line work in this print highlights the refinement of the chromolithographic process, bringing depth and dimension to the composition. The cranes, often symbolic of longevity and peace in East Asian culture, add a layer of cultural significance to this elegant piece. Condition: The print is in very good condition, with crisp details and minimal signs of age. Slight foxing in the margins does not detract from its aesthetic appeal. Provenance: Published by Sampson Low & Co., printed by Lemercier & Cie, Paris This rare and graceful print is perfect for collectors of decorative art or enthusiasts of nature-inspired designs. Ideal for framing, it offers a timeless celebration of craftsmanship and cultural artistry.
