1816 Sloth, Brodtmann, Imp. Folio, Incunabula of Lithography
About the Item
Das Dreyzehige Faulthier. Bradypus tridactylus.
The pale-throated sloth, occasionally known as the ai, is a species of three-toed sloth that inhabits tropical rainforests in northern South America. It is similar in appearance to, and often confused with, the brown-throated sloth, which has a much wider distribution.
Landmark stone lithograph on fine Ziegler watermarked paper.
Extremely rare
1816 antique hand colored stone lithograph by Carl Joseph Brodtmann from his extremely rare series:
Naturhistorische Bilder Gallerie aus dem Thierreiche
Lindau, Brodtmann [1816].
Here in fine original hand colour.
Measures : 42.5 x 32.5 cm
Superb plate from this famed incunabula of lithography.
Reference Winkler 105.
Brodtmann is considered a pioneer in the art of lithography employing techniques for "texture" that are quite similar to that of an aquatint. He produced his lithographs in the post-Linnaean "Age of Enlightenment" as books illustrations and sets of natural history prints, as Naturhistorische Bilder Gallerie aus dem Thierreiche, with the more expensive sets being hand coloured. Natural history specimens were depicted and sold in these hand-coloured sets for the use of biologists and the aristocracy, the latter being not only great patrons of the arts and sciences, but including many who were actively interested in fauna and flora.
Extremely scarce.
