Here comes a great litho print by C.C. Beall, called “French Quarter New Orleans, 1880.  This print was put out by the Donald Art Company of New York.

Cecil Calvert Beall...whose works were regularly featured in Saturday Evening Post and Collier's. Beall's magazine illustrations were done in watercolor, a medium in which he excelled. His art is crisp, bold, and dramatically composed, emphasizing both starkly iconic imagery and dramatically transparent movement, often in the same image. His images of beautiful women and elegant men in action-charged contemporary life were published in both black-and-white and color, always deftly exploiting the tonal range of a given reproduction technology. In 1936, Beall painted a portrait of President Roosevelt for the cover of Collier’s, one of his major clients, after which he was appointed art director for the National Democratic Committee

It's been said that the Donald Art Company was the most successful of all the art publishing companies in the 1900's. They sold millions of prints to retail and wholesale outlets, in the USA as well as internationally. Their litho prints are easy to recognize because they were signed with the full company name (Donald Art Co.) or an abbreviation: D.A.C., NY.

Print measures 13” x 11”.
