'Exotic Finches' Chromolithograph Cassell 1880.
The rare, captivating, extraordinarily detailed and intensely coloured and richly textured 'cage' bird chromolithograph offered was created by W.A. Blackston, W. Swaysland and August F. Weiner F.Z.S. It was printed in 1880 by Cassell and Company. Despite being over 140 years old this work retains tremendous vibrancy and is extremely versatile from an interiors perspective. This set of finches is a 'carnival' of intense color and activity.
Chromolithography is a unique method for making multi-colour prints which became the most successful method of colour printing developed by the 19th Century. The initial technique involved the use of multiple lithographic stones, one for each colour, and whilst extremely expensive was used for the best quality results. Depending on the number of colours present, a chromolithograph could take even very skilled workers months to produce. To make this, expensive, reproduction which was once referred to as a 'chromo' a lithographer, with a finished painting in front of him, gradually created and corrected the many stones using proofs to deliver a lithograph as much as possible like the painting, sometimes using dozens of layers.
The lithograph has been recently remounted in a bespoke handmade and hand-finished quality and gilded wooden frame with a confidently proportioned decorated mount. A delicate gold beading has been added for a sophisticated contrast for the works. The glass is museum quality with low reflection, amazing colour transparency and high U.V. absorption to protect the works.
Chromolithograph is 22cm tall by 19cm wide. The framed lithograph is 39cm tall by 36cm wide.
The price shown does not include postage and packaging which will be quoted separately strictly at cost. The artworks can be shipped both within the UK and also internationally.
