1800's HAND-COLORED
WATERCOLOR COPPERPLATE ETCHING OF FIREWORKS PLACE IN THE PRATER (Vienna,
Austria), etching by Joseph Ziegler, plate is titled in both German
(Der Feuerwerks Platz im Prater) and French (La Place du Feu
d'Artifice au Prater). It has "Zielgler" on the bottom left.
It has "C.P.S.P.M." under the German title, and something that looks
like "Artaria Comple" in the middle between the titles. There is
a "23" on the top right of the print (indicating it is a bookplate?).
It looks to be on paper of high rag content. The print area is debossed
as an etching will be, but there is no handwritten signature. The
art area is 16 1/2" x 10 7/8" (41.8 cm x 27.5 cm), the matted area is 22"
x 18" and the size of the whole piece is 29" x 25" including the frame
which is 1/2" thick. The frame is gold colored wood (looks like it
is probably pine). This print looks like it was framed in the 1950's.
It is sealed up in the frame (see photos of back of frame - 1,
2).
The brown trim
decoration around the print looks like it was applied over the the paper
(rather than printed on the paper). Also, it looks like the area
inside the border might have also been applied to the paper outside the
border (note how the paper inside the border does not have as much foxing
and aging as the paper outside the border). I am not certain that
is the situation (I cannot get the framing open to investigate further)
and I do nt have a guess as to why it would be arranged that way.
There is a very
light vertical bend (very difficult to see even in person) through the
center of the print (another reason I think this piece was originally a
bookplate). It goes though the whole print - not just the inside
area. Which leads me to believe the inside area of the print is not applied
to the outside area. The vertical bend is pretty much nonexistent
which leads me to believe that this print has been dry-mounted.
Condition - is
very good to fine. There is some foxing (spotting from age).
There are some stray marks from the printing process - in particular note
that the letters of the German title are smeared in 2 places. I am
not certain what the blue-black mark is on the bottom right of the print
(probably a stray printing process mark, but I am not certain). I
am also not certain what the brownish spot is on the right side of the
matte.
The frame a moderate
amount of wear with several dents, a few holes (see scan at left of the
corner of the print and frame) and some of the color has worn off.
Please note that what looks like a crease on the right side of the picture
in the first scan above is a light refection - there is no crease there.

AN
OLD TIME CAKE WALK, 1897 LARGE CHROMOLITHOGRAPH BLACK MEMORABILIA PRINT,
shows an old time barn dance with musicians playing a banjo, accordion
and some kind of castanets; except for the face of the banjo player, the
features of the faces of the people you can see look to be exaggerated;
many of the faces are in darkness though because of the light coming through
the window, this is a gorgeous print; it is printed on very thick paper,
it has to be shipped flat because it will not roll, 20" x 13 1/2", excellent
condition with some bumps along the edges and on the corners, a shallow
crease on the bottom left corner, and a light scratch on head cloth of
the woman behind the lifted hands of the dancers, the scratch goes into
the barn area above her head too #BA28830

TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY
(TO 1900) MONOCHROME SEPIA-TONE PRINT OF ROMANTIC COUPLE WITH AMERICAN
ESKIMO OR SPITZ DOG IN BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE OAK FRAME, print is 14 x20",
outside of the frame is 17 1/2 x 23 1/4", I seriously doubt the frame and
the print originally went together but this is how I bought them, the print
is in very good condition with a light crease on the bottom left corner,
some roughness of the edge on the right side - a couple of the nicks
can be seen when the picture is hung, also a small tear into the pictures
area - this damage can be seen in the photo of the damage at the right,
the frame is in excellent condition with a few minor scratches and minor
wear on the corners. #SPZ 25604 $70.00
Because I do
not think the frame and the print went together originally and because
I think the print would show better with the slight damage matted in i
am willing to split the two
