Five Lithographs From 1894
From an Unknown Book
Good Condition
I know nothing about the history of book these lithographs came from. They were about to be thrown out so I rescued them. I'm not really a vintage book/print collector. I have tried to make up for this with obscene amounts of photos and a reasonable amount of research. If you think some facts look off on any items, please ask a question. I'm doing my best here, but I'm only human. I don't know what these items may be worth and frankly I don't care. So I'm starting all my auctions this week at 1cent with no reserve. This book should be in the hands of people that want them, and not in a landfill. Please use the "contact seller" function to ask any questions. I usually check in once or twice a day.
The lithographs included are:
Conversion of Ethelbert by Augustine by H. Tresham
The Muezzin by Jean Leon Gerome
Abdication of Gustavus Vasa by Hersent
Windsor Castle by Montbard
King Alfred Visiting a Monastery School Benziger
Engraving Size: 5in X 8inMy research has lead me to believe these are all from the same book printed in the year 1894. I don't know much else about them. The images themselves don't seem to have much, if any, watermarks, spotting, or other stray marks. I included a couple of close up photos. These images were photographed and not scanned, so I'm not sure if one or two of the minor spots I think I see are actually on the prints or if it's from photographing slightly ink on glossy paper. Upon inspection I don't really see any spotting or damage to the images with my naked eye. They are printed on paper that was removed from a book and the borders do show some visable tearing, spotting, or water damage. This does not effect any of the actual images as far as I can tell. They are quite lovely and I've actually kept a handful of these for myself. These five that are left need a new home.
Due to the size and age of these lithographs I am not applying my flat rate shipping discount to this item. I have a special over sized reinforced cardboard mailer for them. Shipping will be $4, not including insurance. Insurance is optional.
NO International shipping. Sorry guys.
Payments must be received with in 3 days of auction end.
PAYPAL ONLY! I can't stress this enough.
If you don't purchase insurance, I'm not responsible for the packages safety once it leaves my hands!
