Rare Persian Lustreware Albarello Chromolithograph, Henry Wallis, 1899

Located in Langweer, NL

Title: Rare Persian Lustreware Albarello Chromolithograph, Henry Wallis, 1899 Description: An exceptionally rare original chromolithographic plate depicting a Persian albarello or apothecary jar from the 13th century. The vessel is richly ornamented with seated courtly figures framed by scrolling vegetal motifs and lustrous metallic decoration characteristic of the celebrated ceramic workshops of medieval Persia. Rendered in warm copper, gold, olive, and cream tones, the composition exemplifies the extraordinary artistic achievements of Persian lustreware production during the Seljuk and early Ilkhanid periods. The elegant figural imagery, combined with rhythmic arabesques and ornamental bands, reflects the refined visual language that made Kashan ceramics among the most admired luxury objects of the Islamic world. This plate originates from Henry Wallis's important folio Persian Lustre Vases, privately printed in London in 1899 in a strictly limited edition of only 200 copies. The publication remains one of the earliest scholarly studies devoted exclusively to Persian lustre ceramics, and individual plates from the work are today exceptionally scarce. This is an original 1899 chromolithograph and not a later reproduction. Sold unframed. Any images showing the print in a frame or interior setting are for visual impression only. Frame dimensions, matting proportions, and room presentations are not always to scale. Creator: Henry Wallis (1811–1891), published posthumously. Publication: Persian Lustre Vases, London, 1899. Date: 1899 Medium: Original chromolithograph on paper. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related toning, scattered foxing, and minor handling wear to the sheet edges consistent with removal from the original folio volume. The image remains bright, decorative, and well preserved. Provenance: From Persian Lustre Vases, London, 1899, privately printed in an edition limited to only 200 copies.

Diana of Ephesus Antique Engraving, Montfaucon Antiquité Expliquée, 1721

Located in Langweer, NL

Diana of Ephesus Antique Engraving, Montfaucon Antiquité Expliquée, 1721 This original eighteenth-century copper engraving titled “Diane d’Ephese” illustrates several sculptural representations of the celebrated cult statue of Artemis of Ephesus, one of antiquity’s most enigmatic and symbolically charged religious images. The plate originates from Bernard de Montfaucon’s landmark antiquarian publication L’antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures, published in Paris in 1721, a pioneering encyclopedic study that helped establish the scholarly foundations of archaeology and art history during the Enlightenment. Montfaucon’s ambitious project sought to systematically document the material culture of the ancient world through carefully researched engravings based on surviving sculptures, coins, reliefs, and historical sources. This plate presents multiple interpretations of the Ephesian goddess, comparing sculptural variants and medallion representations. The central figures stand rigidly frontal, crowned and richly adorned, their bodies covered with registers of animals, symbolic figures, and ritual ornamentation. Smaller circular images below further demonstrate how the goddess appeared on ancient coins and reliefs, reflecting Montfaucon’s analytical approach to classical imagery. Unlike the familiar Greek Artemis, goddess of the hunt, the Ephesian Diana represents an older Anatolian mother deity assimilated into Greco-Roman religion. Her distinctive iconography—tiered body coverings, animal motifs, and fertility symbolism—expresses abundance, cosmic order, and divine protection. During the eighteenth century, such images fascinated European scholars attempting to interpret ancient religions through comparative symbolism, making Montfaucon’s publication a cornerstone reference for collectors, antiquarians, and early museums. The engraving is executed with refined precision typical of Parisian copperplate work of the early 1700s, combining scientific clarity with strong decorative appeal. The balanced composition and graphic symmetry allow the print to function equally as a scholarly artifact and an elegant wall piece suited to both classical and contemporary interiors. This original antique engraving is offered unframed, providing flexibility to select a frame appropriate to the intended interior setting. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related toning and light paper discoloration consistent with early eighteenth-century prints...

The Battle of Trafalgar, Admiral Nelson & British Fleet, 1805
The Battle of Trafalgar, Admiral Nelson & British Fleet, 1805

The Battle of Trafalgar, Admiral Nelson & British Fleet, 1805

Located in Langweer, NL

Title: The Battle of Trafalgar, Admiral Nelson & British Fleet, 1805 Original antique 19th-century steel engraving depicting the Battle of Trafalgar, the decisive British naval victory of 21 October 1805 during the Napoleonic Wars. This dramatic maritime scene is after the painting by celebrated British marine artist Clarkson Frederick Stanfield, R.A. (1793–1867), and was engraved by John Cousen (1804–1880). The inscriptions beneath the image read: “C. STANFIELD, R.A. PAINTER.” “J. COUSEN, ENGRAVER.” “THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR.” “FROM THE PICTURE IN THE VERNON GALLERY.” The Battle of Trafalgar Fought on 21 October 1805 off Cape Trafalgar on the southwestern coast of Spain, the Battle of Trafalgar was one of the most important naval engagements of the Napoleonic Wars. The British Royal Navy, commanded by Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, confronted the combined French and Spanish fleet under Admiral Pierre-Charles Villeneuve. Nelson employed an unconventional attack, dividing his fleet into columns that sailed directly into the Franco-Spanish battle line. The resulting close-range engagement ended in a decisive British victory and confirmed Britain’s command of the seas. The battle became one of the defining events of British maritime history. Admiral Horatio Nelson & HMS Victory Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758–1805) commanded the British fleet from his famous flagship HMS Victory. Shortly before the battle commenced, Nelson ordered the celebrated signal: “England expects that every man will do his duty.” During the fighting, Nelson was struck by a musket ball fired from the French ship Redoutable and was mortally wounded. He died aboard HMS Victory during the battle, having lived long enough to learn that victory was assured. His death at the moment of triumph made Nelson a national hero and permanently linked his name with Trafalgar. The Scene Stanfield’s composition conveys the enormous scale, violence and confusion of a major naval engagement in the age of sail. Ships-of-the-line crowd the horizon, their towering masts and rigging emerging through smoke, spray and the dramatic sky. Several vessels are depicted fighting at extremely close quarters, recalling the devastating exchanges of cannon fire that characterized the battle. In the foreground, broken spars, wreckage and sailors struggling in the turbulent sea emphasize the human consequences of the engagement. The exceptionally wide composition gives the engraving an almost panoramic character and makes it particularly effective as a decorative maritime print. Clarkson Frederick Stanfield, R.A. (1793–1867) Clarkson Frederick Stanfield was one of the leading British marine painters of the 19th century. Stanfield had first-hand experience of life at sea before establishing himself as an artist. His knowledge of ships, rigging, changing weather and the movement of the ocean contributed to the convincing maritime atmosphere for which his work became celebrated. He was elected a Royal Academician and became particularly admired for his dramatic marine and historical paintings. John Cousen (1804–1880) The painting was translated into engraving by John Cousen, an accomplished English engraver known particularly for his landscape, architectural and marine subjects after important contemporary British artists. His finely worked engraving preserves the dramatic tonal effects of Stanfield’s original painting, from the dark turbulent foreground water to the distant ships disappearing into smoke and atmospheric haze. The Vernon Gallery The original painting was part of the important collection assembled by British businessman and philanthropist Robert Vernon (1774–1849). Vernon built an extensive collection devoted primarily to contemporary British art and presented his collection to the British nation in 1847. The inscription “From the Picture in the Vernon Gallery” records the important provenance of Stanfield’s original composition.

Greater Bird of Paradise Male & Female Hand-Colored Lithograph, c.1875

Located in Langweer, NL

Greater Bird of Paradise Male & Female Hand-Colored Lithograph, c. 1875 Description: Original antique hand-colored lithograph depicting a magnificent pair of Greater Birds of Paradise, identified beneath the image as “Der gemeine Paradiesvogel (Paradisea apoda).” The composition shows the spectacular male Greater Bird of Paradise perched above a female. The male is represented with his characteristic golden-yellow ornamental flank plumes cascading dramatically around the body, contrasting with his dark chest and greenish-yellow head and throat. Two extremely elongated tail wires descend beneath him. The more restrained brown plumage of the female provides a striking illustration of the sexual dimorphism for which birds of paradise became celebrated. Birds of paradise were among the most extraordinary exotic birds known to European naturalists and collectors. Early specimens reached Europe from the Indonesian archipelago without their feet, contributing to centuries of myths that the birds lived perpetually in the air. This history is reflected in the scientific name Paradisea apoda, meaning essentially “footless bird of paradise.” The plate is numbered Fig. 139 and bears the German title “Der gemeine Paradiesvogel.” It was produced for a German 19th-century natural-history publication and is a fine example of the period's increasingly sophisticated ornithological illustration. Although the composition is reminiscent of the celebrated bird illustrations associated with John Gould, I would not attribute this particular plate directly to Gould. The available evidence does not establish Gould as its artist or publisher, and the German typography and figure numbering indicate that it belongs to a separate German natural-history publication. Greater Bird of Paradise Paradisea apoda “Der gemeine Paradiesvogel” Fig. 139 German School c. 1870–1880 Original hand-colored lithograph This is an original antique print from the 19th century, not a modern reproduction. Condition: Good antique condition with overall age-related toning, scattered light foxing and minor spotting and marks, particularly within the margins. Some minor handling wear is consistent with age. The colors remain attractive and the principal image is well preserved.

Original Antique Print of Exotic Moths and Butterflies by Bertuch, c. 1820

Located in Langweer, NL

Original Antique Print of Exotic Moths and Butterflies by Bertuch, c.1820 Original antique hand-colored engraving depicting four spectacular moths and butterflies, published in Friedrich Justin Bertuch’s celebrated “Bilderbuch für Kinder” during the early 19th century. The plate is titled “Insecten LXXXI / Insecta LXXXI / Insectes LXXXI” and bears the reference “XV.B.45” at lower right. Dominating the composition is Fig. 1, an extraordinary large pale yellow-green silk moth with exceptionally long, elegant tails extending from the hindwings. Delicate linear markings, circular eyespots and subtle red accents give the insect an almost ethereal appearance. Fig. 2 depicts another impressive large moth with broad brown forewings and richly patterned hindwings in black, pink and cream. Its strongly striped abdomen and unusual green markings add to the exotic character of the specimen. Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate two smaller but vividly colored butterflies. Fig. 3 combines brilliant red-orange wings with dramatic black markings, while Fig. 4 is predominantly black with a striking border of blue, orange and cream eyespots. The considerable difference in scale between the enormous long-tailed moth and the smaller butterflies creates a particularly effective composition. The restrained pale coloring of the upper specimen contrasts beautifully with the intense red, blue, black and pink of the insects below. The engraving is enhanced with original hand coloring and is a fine example of the fascination with exotic Lepidoptera in European natural-history publications of the early 19th century. Friedrich Justin Bertuch (1747–1822) was a German publisher, writer and patron of the arts.

1757 Engraving of Inuit & Indigenous Peoples – Hudson Bay & Arctic Canoe Scene

Located in Langweer, NL

Title: 1757 Engraving of Inuit & Indigenous Peoples – Hudson Bay & Arctic Canoe Scene Description: This rare 1757 antique copperplate engraving presents two fascinating scenes depicting Indigenous life in Arctic Canada, focusing on the Inuit and other First Nations communities in the Hudson Bay region. Originally published in *Histoire Générale des Voyages*, the engraving provides an invaluable visual record of daily life, survival techniques, and traditional dwellings. The top illustration, titled 'Un Esquimau dans son Canot', depicts an Inuit paddling a sleek, narrow kayak through choppy waters, showcasing the remarkable boat-making skills of the Arctic peoples. The kayak, designed for hunting and efficient travel, is shown in its traditional form, reflecting centuries of adaptation to harsh northern environments. The bottom illustration, 'Esquimaux du côté du Nord-Ouest de la Baie de Hudson', portrays a male and female Inuit figure standing near an igloo, a crucial form of temporary winter shelter. The man holds a bow and arrows, symbolizing subsistence hunting, while the woman carries a small child. In the background, additional Indigenous dwellings, including conical tipis, suggest the presence of other First Nations groups living near the Hudson Bay coastline. The detailed hatching and shading techniques used in the engraving bring out the textures of clothing, landscapes, and architectural features, making this a historically and artistically significant piece. As an early European representation of Arctic Indigenous culture, it holds great value for collectors of ethnographic art, Canadian history, and antique travel prints...

Antique Greek Amphorae with Mythological Figures Color Lithograph, 1883

Located in Langweer, NL

Antique Greek Amphorae with Mythological Figures Color Lithograph, 1883 Original antique color lithograph depicting two richly decorated ancient Greek amphorae, published in Berlin in 1883 as part of Albert Genick’s monumental work on Greek ceramics. This impressive landscape-format plate presents two contrasting examples of ancient Greek pottery, both extensively decorated with figural and ornamental scenes. The larger amphora on the left is distinguished by its patterned terracotta handles and broad narrative frieze. A group of standing figures in elaborate dress occupies the principal scene, accompanied by animals including dogs. The figures are rendered in black, terracotta and deep red, creating an unusually rich and decorative composition. Geometric and ornamental borders surround the scene, while radiating decoration emphasizes the lower section of the vessel. The smaller amphora on the right is equally striking. Its principal scene depicts a dramatic mythological encounter between several figures, including a central hybrid or animal-bodied figure. The scene is surrounded by scrolling vegetal ornament, palmettes, geometric bands and a Greek-key meander. A richly patterned palmette frieze decorates the neck. Between the two vessels are small archaeological drawings recording details of their construction and decoration. The strong black, terracotta and deep-red palette, combined with the abundance of classical figures and ornament, makes this one of the particularly decorative plates from Genick’s series. Its horizontal format also lends itself especially well to display above a console, desk or fireplace. The print originates from the second edition of Albert Genick’s important publication on Greek ceramics, published by Ernst Wasmuth in Berlin in 1883. The complete work comprised 36 large color lithographic plates, including four double-page plates, illustrating amphorae, vases, bowls and other examples of ancient Greek ceramic art. The lithographs were produced by the Berlin printing establishment Hein & Mosler. Albert Genick (1837–1906), a Berlin-trained architect, became particularly known for his precise graphic documentation of ancient ceramics. This publication is regarded as his principal work. Complete examples are rare, and individual plates from the series are increasingly difficult to find. Creator: Albert Genick (1837–1906) Publisher: Ernst Wasmuth, Berlin Printer: Hein & Mosler, Berlin Plate: V Date: 1883 Edition: Second edition Technique: Color lithograph Origin: Germany Sheet size: Approximately 46 x 68 cm (18.1 x 26.8 inches) Orientation: Landscape Period: Late 19th Century Style: Neoclassical / Archaeological Revival Condition: Very good antique condition. Strong black, terracotta and deep-red coloring with the details of the vessels remaining well preserved. Light age-related toning with scattered minor foxing and spotting, principally in the background and margins. Minor wear and slight irregularity along the sheet edges consistent with age. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the condition description. An original antique lithograph printed in 1883, not a modern reproduction. The print is offered unframed. Any framed or interior images, if shown, are for presentation and inspiration only. Additional companion plates from Albert Genick’s series are available separately.
