Original
hand signed, with remarque, William de la
Montagne Cary (1840-1922) antique 1891
proof etching. William Cary was known for
his western themed art, based on travels
in younger years. His works from 1866-1896
consisted of oils, watercolor, pen, ink,
etchings, engravings, were based on
memories of sites and scenes that he
witnessed in his 1866 Westward expedition.
Some of these works were published in
popular magazines of the time such as
Leslie's, Harper's, and Scribner's. His
artwork and illustrations of the Plains
Indians, came to be regarded as important
historical documents due to the amount of
detail the works included. His detailed
drawings, paintings, and engravings were
also made into lithographs, and book
plates, that are also highly collectible
today. This original proof etching depicts
a scenic view of a Native American camp
with teepee's and residents on one side of
the river edge and a lone warrior with
horses on the other. Etching is in its
original ornate wood frame, under glass,
with wood backing. (please note: pictures
show some reflections in glass from
lighting). The work is untitled, as was
common with proofs. Later references refer
to it as: Fresh Horses, or On the Upper
Missouri. It is signed in the plate
(bottom left) "Wm M. Cary". Hand signed in
pencil "Wm M. Cary" on the right. Signed
in plate "Copyright 1891 Fishcel Adler and
Schwartz, New York" top left edge. Has a
remarque, (the small original hand-drawn
pencil work by Cary) in the lower margin,
left, off center. This is a pronghorn
antelope head and another in behind him
and wood branch. Remarque's were used on
the pre-publication proof's to test the
etching prior to printing, and most were
then removed from the plate before the
edition was printed. Not examined outside
the frame, the etching size is 8-1/2" x
21-1/2" (includes white edge). Overall
size 15-1/2" x 29-1/2". Overall frame size
is 19" x 34". The etching itself appears
to be in very good condition. No holes,
tears, or stains. Excellent impression
with minut details. The background matte
paper shows water staining (left corner)
and overall toning. The glass is intact
and wood frame is complete and solid
overall. It displays well even though
there are lite signs of age, wear. Be sure
to click on the small preview photo to the
left to see this amazing art work!
With the addition of a new matte this
etching would make an outstanding addition
to your wall or collection. Please note
due to size, this can only be sold and
shipped to US continental, lower 48 states
only, |

Antique THOMAS SULLY Orig Framed Lithograph 1899 Boy THE TORN HAT Detroit Publishing Co. This is an amazing antique lithograph of a boy in "The Torn Hat" by Thomas Sully (1783-1872). Sully, an American portrait painter, was born in Lincolnshire, England, came to American at the young age, living most of his life in Philadelphia. He is known today as one of Philadelphia's leading portraitist for the early nineteenth century. His works featured some of the most influential people of his time. Presidents, Queens, leading musicians, composers. This work features Thomas's nine-year old son, Thomas Wilcocks Sully. Wearing an open shirt, rumpled jacket and a straw hat with a torn brim. This work was published in the late 1800's to the early 1900's by the Detroit Publishing Company. It is marked in the lower right "Copyright Detroit Publishing Company, 65008" It is not a typical antique print as it was done with a unique printing technique known as chromolithography. In using this process the publisher has managed to capture the boy's true haunting quality that was the essence of the original painting. It portrays well in its original now 'shabby chic' looking frame, behind glass. The print has excellent coloring still with no visible stains, tears or damage. Original paper backing is long gone. Framer's label is now viewable on back, "H. Leiber Company, Indiana". The lithograph measures 10" x 13". Overall frame size is 12-1/4" x 16". Although the frame is scarred, chipped, finish worn it could be restored if a more refined look is required. For those of us who can never hope to acquire an original painting by Thomas, its a joy to come across an scarce original antique chromolithograph of one of his works. | ||

Oval etching of pretty young lady gathering flowers in her basket, with plate mark around the edge. Frame measures 17-3/4" x 11-3/4". 10-1/2" x 8" on the oval etching area. There does not appear to be any blind stamp, or watermark, but I have not opened this up to see it first hand. The paper appears to be wove with lite texture. There does not appear to be any tears or holes and the coloring is still quite vivid and bright and does not appear to have been subjected to sunlight when displayed. There is no foxing. There is some stains on the border and some on her dress area. I've shown several pictures so you can see the quality and its condition. I've cleaned the front glass, but it really needs to be opened up and cleaned and have the old dingy cardboard backing replaced. I'll leave that to you. | ||

Original A.P. etchings by Bert Cobb are not offered often.
