A Lithograph of Fashion Elegance at the Exposition Universelle, 1889
About the Item
This lithograph features a finely detailed illustration of a woman dressed in late 19th-century fashion, specifically from the year 1889. The attire shown includes a full-length gown characterized by puffed sleeves, a high neckline, and intricate lace detailing. The woman is portrayed in profile, highlighting the elegant drape and the fitted waist of the dress, accentuated by a sash. The color palette consists of muted pastels, which complement the formal and refined style of the period.
The lithograph was produced by L. Michau, a noted publisher during the late 19th century.
This illustration is likely part of a larger series or collection focusing on fashion and attire, possibly created for the Exposition Universelle of 1889 held in Paris. The presence of the "Exposition Universelle 1889" stamp suggests this work was specifically associated with that international event, which was known for showcasing advancements in art, culture, and industry.
The artwork is a lithograph, a popular printing technique in the 19th century that involved drawing with a greasy substance on a flat stone or metal plate, then treating the plate to retain the image with ink while repelling water. This allowed for the creation of high-quality, detailed prints, especially useful for fashion plates and other illustrated works.

"Four at the Table", 1940s American Scene Lithograph by Woman Artist
Located in Philadelphia, PA
One of the most intriguing and mysterious WPA-era prints we have ever offered, this rare, possibly unique work depicts a group of two women and two men in intense conversation at a crude wood table, in a simple room with cracks in the plaster that show the wood lath underneath. The four almost seem like a group on the lam in a film noir from the period, desperately running from a crime of some kind. Two of the four face downward, deeply focused on the subject at hand, and another is lost in thought, a pipe in his mouth. The fourth is most mysterious of all, facing away from the viewer. but clearly animated and in conversation. The artist was Alice Harold Murphy...

19C Aquatint Engraving of the Quay at Waterford
Located in Dallas, TX
Presenting a lovely 19C Aquatint Engraving of the Quay at Waterford in Waterford city in Ireland.
This engraving has been hand embellished with aquatint color(s) and is from Ireland circa 1820-40.
It features a scene of the Quay or Port of Waterford from circa 1820. We are basing this upon the attire of the figures in the engraving and the tall ships.
It features Reginald’s Tower (still located at the Waterford Quay to this day). Georgian Quay buildings, a number of moored tall ships and row boats, barrels, horses and carts, women and British soldiers.
The engraving was professionally reframed and matted in Dallas in the 1980’s and the rear of the frame says that it was “Museum Mounted and Matted”. The frame has a lovely Grecian pattern around the front.
