This is an art lithograph print of one of the original plates, titled "Jonquil" or daffodil as more commonly known. Main colors are blue, green, yellow, tan and brown. Artist is E. Hervegh, as seen at bottom right.

The piece is in very nice vintage, near perfect, condition with just a small trace of light toning around the edges and a teensy spot of red ink at the upper left corner. Because this was originally bound in a portfolio, the left-hand binding side may have some very slight irregularities. 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 titling in English, French and German.

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 display put together in groups of 4, 6, 8 or more! less
