This is an art lithograph print of one of the original botanic plates, titled "Iris". The artist is Verneuil. Primary colors are green, yellow, purple and touches of orange and blue.

This floral piece is in very nice vintage, near perfect, condition with just a small trace of light toning around the edges. Because this was originally bound in a portfolio, the left-hand binding side may have some very slight irregularities, and we note a teensy dot of red ink at the top left corner. We make mention only for accuracy's sake, as framing will likely cover any signs of age that may be present. Please review photos.

Entire sheet measures 11" wide x slightly less than 15" tall. Side edge borders outside double black lines are 1" each long side, 0.5" at top edge, and 1.25" at bottom edge including the title line.

We obtained quite a few other lithographs after the original plates; please see others offered in our Chairish shop by using the "Home Lab" link in the box directly below this description. Combined shipping for multiple purchases can be arranged. These would create a stunning Art Deco era gallery wall in groups of 4, 6, 8 or more! See less
