Holy Smokes! What a Gem!

You'll be planning your next major decorating project in a jungle theme when you see this gorgeous antique chromolithograph from Germany in person!

The beautiful details in this gorgeous full color, sharp as a tack lithograph from the turn of the 20th century in this opulent naturalist's study are simply amazing.

Printing of this quality and detail is a long lost art-form I'm afraid as Lithograph print making is an amazingly slow and time consuming process. Far too costly to pay an artisan to do in these times.

"1887 African Fauna" is in glorious condition, captured in soft earthy colors of greens and browns, contrasted with brilliant jewel colors, all done in the most costly chromium inks available back in the day.
This litho is smooth and flat with crisp edges and corners and almost no tanning at all... remarkable condition for 123 year old paper.

This breathtaking full color illustration measures a big 12" x 9 1/2" with a fold down the center as it was issued and will come to you via the USPS packed flat in a bendproof mailer and protected from harm on it's journey from my place to yours.

It's the Real Deal too; not a scanned photocopy or a download. SurrenderDorothy's amazing selection of antique and vintage goods is always the genuine article.
