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historical documents due to the amount of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,

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. |

Art Deco NICOL Etching LADY Icart
Boudoir Style Framed Fresh
from an estate attic. Antique framed aquatint
etching. Signed in pencil "Nicol". 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. |

Authentic 1920's
artist proof etching by the renown listed artist
Bert Cobb. Title: Luchs, Portrait of a German
Shepherd. Size: 14-1/2" x 11-1/2". Pencil signed
by the artist on the bottom right, title is
bottom left, and inscribed signature on the
etching below the dogs neck. Excluded from the
numbering as it was an A.P. This wonderful work
of art is original as exhibited, matted, framed,
behind glass, paper backing sealed still with
Gallery label on back. The work was offered for
exhibition by Bert Cobb at the C. W. Kraushaar
Art Galleries in the early 1930's. Documentation
label on the back reads: from: C.W. Kraushaar
Art Galleries, 680 Fifth Avenue, between 4th and
5th Streets, NEW YORK, Established in 1885,
"LUCHS", A.P. ETCHING by BERT COBB. This artist
proof was printed especially for Bert Cobb and
was part of his personal collection. It was one
of the first printings pulled off of the fresh
"stone" and given to the artist for him to
determine the plate finished and ready for
production. It would have been one the sharpest
and most vivid of any that was produced. The
artwork and frame is in very nice condition
still overall, with no signs of abuse (tears,
stains, holes). There is a small spot by the
dog's ear and two more (lighter) lines on the
background that appear to be a slight scuff to
the paper? On the whole the artwork and matt
have a aged (yellowed ) appearance. The overall
size of the frame is 15" x 17-1/2". There is
some lite scratches to the glass from storage.
Original A.P. etchings by Bert Cobb are not
offered often. Past gallery offerings and
quality auction house results show values of his
following run etchings (not artists proofs)
valued at $800. to $1400. No results were found
for A.P.'s. |
