Product Description
Antique 1916 Gordon Ross Children's Munchausen Tall Tale and Fairy Tale Lithograph

A charming 1916 Gordon Ross lithograph, gleaned from a 1916 1st edition of John Martin's retelling, in a version more suitable for children, of the classic Baron von Münchausen tall tales. Its caption reads -

"He had, of course, eaten his way into my beast's harness."

Color-washed and wonderfully presented, Gorgon Ross's work is sweetly quirky and charmingly simple, and remains absolutely timeless. The heavy paper is blank on its reverse, measures 6.5" x 8.5" (17x22 cm), and is clean and smooth, showing a gentle tanning. The edges are smooth and clear and there are folds, marks, tears, or creases on the paper.

A delightful subject to frame and gift for the nursery ... altogether wonderful for your art ~ for your card and tag creations, for your scrap book page making, for collage and decoupage.

You are purchasing an original 1916 paper and it does not have watermarks. I will send this out for you flat, protected, and by USPS 1st Class Mail.
