Item specifics

Subject: AnimalsStyle: Vintage
Print Type: EtchingOriginal/Reproduction: Original Print




Title: Native Californians Lassoing  a Bear

Date: 1874

Color: Black and White

Medium: Steel Plate Engraving

Dimensions: image (15 x 21.3 cm or 5 7/8 x 8 3/8 inch), paper (24.2 x 31.6 cm or 9 1/2 x 12 1/2 inch)

Credits: FOC Darley (artist), F Holl (engraver), William Cullen Bryant (editor), D. Appleton & Co. New York (publisher, copyright 1873)

Condition:


            The print is in excellent plus condition  [i.e., clear and clean image, strong paper, original wide margins, no bend, no tear, and very slight but even age toning]. It was printed on high quality wove paper with a blank verso. Gilded on all three sides,  the print is nearly flawless in every aspect with some very minor stains [nearly invisible] along the bottom margin as shown by the detailed photo.


Description:

          Originally conceived by George S. Appleton and Oliver B. Bunce, Picturesque America was published in 1872 74 in two massive volumes that contain hundreds of beautiful sceneries of America across the entire continent. They are both breathtaking and refreshing even today. It was one of the largest publication projects undertaken in America up to that time. Sketched via pencil and pen by finest artists of the day on sites, the project required the talents of more than 20 writers and 30 artists and engravers. As Alice Watson noted many years later that each subject is an inspiration for the artist, a theme for the poet, a discovery for the geologist, and an exciting clue for the historian. The work was completed in 48 parts (semi-monthly via subscriptions and or bounded into two volumes of 1872 and 1874).  On top of the numerous wood engravings in each part, the most memorable and the highest quality print, perhaps, is the finely finished and extremely detailed steel plate engraving (only one in each part).

        This steel plate engraving entitled Lassoing Bear was penciled by FOC Darley [engraved by F Holll] and published in Volume II of the original Picturesque America with a copyright entry date of 1873 on the print. It depicted several cowboys hunting a grizzle with lasso - evidently for sports - a very good collector's item indeed [especially in such nice condition].

       Note that this item [and our other antique maps and prints ] is absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed [with full money back including shipping handling and your return postage] to be original [i.e., not a modern copy or reproduction] and as described. Please take a look at our other related maps/prints items on eBay store or auction format.
