Unidentified
lithographer
“Sphinx of Giza”,
c.1900, colour lithograph signed in the plate (I have not been able to decipher
the name) on wove paper backed with a support sheet providing wide margins. Sadly,
I have been unable to find any publication details about this subtly beautiful
and large(ish) lithograph that is not held in any of the major museum collections or
showcased on the art market—extraordinary for such an amazing and memorable
image!
Size: (sheet) 24
x 31 cm.
Condition: beyond
a mark on the lower edge which may be a part of the image the sheet is in a
near pristine condition, laid onto a support of archival (millennium quality)
washi paper with no tears, holes, folds, abrasions or significant stains.
I am selling
this rare and exceptionally atmospheric portrayal of the Great Sphinx illuminated
in either the first rays of morning light or the last traces of evening light, for
the total cost of AU$255 (currently US$175.29/EUR158.72/GBP133.03 at the time
of posting this listing) including Express Mail (EMS) postage and handling to
anywhere in the world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes imposed by
some countries. Note that payment is in Australian dollars (AU$255) as this is
my currency.
If you are
interested in purchasing this sensitively executed lithograph—a
true “breath on glass” representation of the Sphinx in a dust storm—please
contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal
invoice to make the payment easy.
