About the Item
Art Deco Portrait “Gladys” – W\.E. Webster Lithograph, Dutch Edition 1922
Description:
Delightful Art Deco portrait titled *Gladys*, created by British illustrator W\.E. Webster and published as a lithographic print for the 'Haagsche Post' Christmas edition dated December 25, 1922 (No. 470). This charming composition captures a glamorous young woman with curly blonde hair, rosy cheeks, and a confident smile. Dressed in a light, elegant garment and adorned with a white headband, “Gladys” embodies the lighthearted spirit and visual aesthetics of the 1920s Jazz Age.
The artist, *W\.E. Webster*, was a popular British portraitist and illustrator known for his romanticized depictions of women. His style, often soft and ethereal, emphasizes idealized beauty with watercolor-like handling and gentle tonal gradations. His works appeared in numerous magazines and commercial publications of the early 20th century, appealing to a broad audience during a time of sweeping social and cultural change.
This specific image was published in the Netherlands as part of *Haagsche Post*’s annual Christmas number—a luxurious supplement that celebrated the best in contemporary illustration. It was printed by **Enschedé en Binger, Haarlem**, one of the Netherlands’ most reputable fine art printers. The print bears the artist’s signature and features a subtle “HP” monogram near the lower center, linking it to its magazine origin.
This portrait, with its blend of softness, glamour, and timeless charm, is a striking decorative piece for collectors of vintage illustration, Art Deco ephemera, or 1920s fashion imagery. It pairs especially well with other period prints and evokes the joy and optimism of the post-WWI era.
Condition report:
Very good condition overall. Minor toning and faint age-related spotting in the margins. Colors remain vivid and well preserved. No tears or folds.
Framing tips:
A narrow gold, silver, or lacquered Art Deco–style frame with a pale pastel or ivory mat will enhance the portrait’s subtle tones and period charm. Consider float-mounting to preserve the signature and text below the image.
