19TH CENTURY WORKS ON PAPER
Our company mission is to share the colorful story of 19th Century, hand printed, photo realistic chromolithographs - 100,000 original prints, the finest and largest collection in the world, as well as 25,000 19th Century woodcuts and etchings. These astonishing and gorgeous art works are available for sale to art businesses and museums/ for license to publishers/ for loan to museums and art school displays/ and for philanthropy to circulate accessible original art to the elderly.
Prior to the invention of color film and mechanical color printing, artisan chromolithograph printing was the key color image advance beyond hand colored etching. Magnificently refined, chromolithographs set the standard for micro accurate, color image printing. Even today, compared to color photography, chromolithography is still the gold standard, superior in color richness to every form of color printing, in every subject: flowers, animals, decoration, architecture, costume, scenery, culture, painting, sculpture, emblems, history, landscape, textiles, ceramics, jewelry, metalwork, pattern design, portraits, and illustration of hand craftsmanship and antique furniture. No other color printing since 19th Century chromolithography, can compare to the rich, color layered realism of this medium - subtle, lifelike, and luminous.
