Product Description

These beautiful lifesize apples look real enough to eat!
You'll be ever so delighted when you see this deliciously juicy antique chromo-lithograph from Germany in person!

The beautiful details in this gorgeous full color, sharp as a tack botanical lithograph from before the turn of the 20th century in this opulent orchard-man's study are simply amazing.
Printing of this quality and detail is a long lost art-form I'm afraid. Lithograph print making is an amazingly slow and time consuming process; far too costly to pay an artisan to do in these times.
"1887 Juicy Apple Varieties" is in glorious perfect condition, captured in vibrant, shimmering golden ripe colors, all done in the most costly chromium inks available back in the day.
This stunning litho is PERFECT; smooth and flat with crisp edges and corners and almost no tanning at all... remarkable condition for 122 year old paper!
This hand painted, full color illustration measures a big 12" x 9 1/2" with a fold down the center as it was issued and is the Real Deal... not a scanned photocopy or a download.
