Description

Printed on a heavy watercolor paper stock with natural, rough edges, this vintage lithograph looks and feels like an original watercolor. It is a stunning 1940s lithograph of the highest quality, with vibrant colors, having been stored flat and sealed in a dark space for almost 80 years.

As described on Worthpoint:
"The Stehli Frères lithos were usually printed on a nice heavier watercolor-like paper stock with rough edges to give the appearance of an actual watercolor painting and were done with very high lithographic quality at the time. The printing quality was so good that many people over the years have thought they were original works of art and many still make the same mistake even today."


This is 1 of 3 NYC Watercolor Prints by Marc I have on offer - please see my other auctions for the rest of this set, pictured in the last few photos, and keep an eye out for future art auctions, ranging from the 1800s to the mid-1900s.

Provenance

This piece hails from a collection of vintage artwork that I acquired from a print dealer in the late 1990s. Long retired by the time I met him, he still had a vast collection of lithographs and etchings from the 1930s and 1940s, all of which he had purchased directly from the publisher during that time period. Most still remained in their original paper packaging - untouched! By the time I came into his collection, it had been stored flat and sealed for almost 50 years.

I had my own eBay art business for a time before moving on to other things, and once again these pieces were placed in storage for another 20+ years. I am now downsizing and looking to liquidate my remaining collection.

This is a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of history that has truly withstood the test of time.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
