About the Item

The Book of Poultry J. W. Ludlow, artist Lewis Wright (1838-1905), editor Cassell, Petter & Galpin London, Paris, New York, 1880 Vincent Brooks Day & Son Chromolithography 10.75” x 8.25” Man’s fascination with the domestic animals has spanned many centuries. Admired for both strength and beauty, the horse was domesticated for both its capacity for work and pleasure. Livestock became the staple of life with poultry, pigs, cows and sheep contributing to food stores and clothing. This work hopes to familiarize the reader with each breed, old and new. Set in the barnyard for the most part, the animals stand in natural behavior presumably showing their best confirmation. The information beneath the image includes the owner name and, in many cases, information on prizes won. Found in this work is another splendid example of chromolithography. Printing in color on stone was a remarkable technique, developed in America, for creating rich colors in a very painterly fashion. It was most successfully used with lush backgrounds and painterly subjects.

  • Gemaltes Ornament. (Etruscan Vase Design),
    Located in Florham Park, NJ
    ARCHIV FUR ORNAMENTALE KUNST. M. Gropius, L. Lohde, P. Lehfeldt. Chromolithograph. Berlin, 1870. 13” x 19” Unframed. A fine German work by, the illustrations are of classical and neo-classical decorative designs. The acanthus leaf, Greco-Roman busts, mythical animals and ornamental relief show the preferred style of architectural ornament over the centuries and from country to country. A trick of the lithographer was to use the occasional solid ground to give better dimension to the plate. Measuring 19” x 13”, many designs include a scale to show actual size. Only two of the 72 illustrations were printed in full color, another pair in sepia tones, and six in burnt orange and black to show typical Etruscan designs. Several have toned backgrounds. It has been the fashion to apply hand coloring to black and white engravings and lithographs for centuries. The superb condition can be attributed to the individual paper guards placed between each plate. Many of the pieces illustrated are in museums; i.e. a Greek painted portrait medallion is preserved in the Classical Museum...
