Elegant 1844 Lithograph of a Persian Woman in Traditional Attire
Located in Langweer, NL
This handcoloured lithograph titled "Femme Persane" vividly captures the traditional attire of a Persian woman, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and detailed craftsmanship of 19th-century Persia.
The print is part of Auguste Wahlen's "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde," published in 1844 in Paris.
The image stands out for its intricate detailing, especially the veil and robe, which are adorned with elaborate patterns and vibrant colors typical of Persian fashion.
The woman's attire includes a veil that covers the face partially, known as a "ruband," which was commonly worn in public by women in some regions of Persia as a sign of modesty and status. Her robe, layered and colorful, reflects the sophisticated textile techniques of the time, including embroidery and fabric dyeing, which were highly regarded skills in Persian society.
The attractiveness of such prints lies in their ability to convey the elegance and intricacy of Persian women's fashion, providing a window into the everyday life and social customs of the time.
The use of handcoloured lithography, a popular printing technique of the era, allows for vivid coloration and detailed representation, making these prints highly desirable for collectors and enthusiasts of historical fashion and cultural heritage.

19th-Century Detailed Hand-Coloured Lithograph of a Large Medieval Siege Tower
Located in Langweer, NL
19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of a Large Medieval Siege Tower with Details
Description: This finely executed hand-coloured lithograph presents a massive 'medieval siege tower', complete with structural details and mechanisms used during large-scale sieges. Taken from the 1842 publication 'Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums', this work by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp highlights the engineering ingenuity of siege warfare during the Middle Ages.
The central focus of the illustration is the monumental siege tower, meticulously depicted with wooden reinforcements, a sloped base, and numerous small windows for archers and infantry. Wheels at the foundation highlight the mobility of this immense structure, while a wooden floor plan in the top right corner provides an aerial view of its grid-based layout. Additionally, the inset diagrams on the left showcase key mechanical components, including pulley systems and structural beams used to assemble or operate the tower effectively.
In the foreground, two smaller siege devices are displayed, likely for additional artillery or defensive support. The rolling landscape, complete with castles and distant hills, adds a scenic backdrop that complements the detailed technical rendering.
Condition: This lithograph remains in very good condition, with well-preserved hand-colouring and sharp, clear lines. Minor age-toning and light foxing add to the print’s antique charm without diminishing its visual impact.
Ideal for collectors of military history, medieval warfare, or engineering art...

This elegant 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* features three iconic freshwater fish species of Scandinavia: the Ide (Leuciscus idus), the Graining (Leuciscus grislagine), and the European Chub (Leuciscus cephalus).

The Brooklyn Bridge Over the East River, Between Long Island and New York, 1883
Located in Langweer, NL
The Brooklyn Bridge Over the East River, Between Long Island and New York
Published in The Illustrated London News, June 1883.
The engraving from The Illustrated London News, is from June 1883, shortly after the bridge's completion. The Brooklyn Bridge was completed and opened to the public in May 1883, and engravings and illustrations like this one typically followed soon after its opening.
Description:
This hand-colored engraving, published in June 1883 in The Illustrated London News, commemorates the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge, which opened in May 1883. It captures the newly finished bridge spanning the East River, linking Long Island (Brooklyn) to Manhattan, New York City. The detailed panorama shows the urban landscape with buildings and streets leading to the grand suspension bridge, symbolizing one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century.
The bridge's enormous stone towers and suspension cables dominate the skyline, with a picturesque twilight sky framing the background. The engraving emphasizes the bustling waterfront, teeming with ships and ferries, highlighting the role of New York's waterways in commerce and transportation. The scene offers a glimpse into New York's rapidly growing cityscape, depicted with remarkable clarity from a rooftop perspective.
The caption below the engraving reads: The Brooklyn Bridge Over the East River, Between Long Island and New York.
This print, issued in *The Illustrated London News*, reflects the magazine’s dedication to visually documenting historic achievements in architecture and engineering.
---
**About the Publication and Technique:**
*The Illustrated London News*, founded in 1842, was the first illustrated weekly news magazine. Its pages were filled with engravings and illustrations that provided readers with vivid, detailed imagery of major events and landmarks from around the world. In the 19th century, the publication became known for its depictions of architectural and engineering triumphs, like the Brooklyn Bridge.
The engraving was produced using the wood engraving technique, in which artisans carved intricate designs into woodblocks, allowing for mass reproduction in magazines. This specific print is hand-colored, adding a vibrant, artistic quality to the precise wood engraving.
