- David Roberts' 19th Century Hand Colored Lithograph, "Fortress of Ibrim, Nubia"By David RobertsLocated in Alamo, CA"Approach to the Fortress of Ibrim, Nubia" is a 19th century folio sized hand-colored lithograph from the Egypt and Nubia volume of David Roberts’ large folio edition, published in London by F. G. Moon in 1847. The lithographs were prepared by Louis Haghe (1806-1885) from drawings and paintings by Roberts. The resultant large folio editions of 'The Holy Land' and 'Egypt & Nubia' are considered the greatest lithographically illustrated works issued in the 19th century. The print is presented in a gold-colored wood frame with a decorative inner trim, with a cream-colored double mat. It is in excellent condition. The lithograph depicts the Fortress of Ibrim in Nubia in the background, which had been a Roman and an Egyptian fortification for centuries due to its strategic elevation, allowing a view of large portions of the surrounding desert. Men are securing the boat in the foreground for the night, taking down its sails. A herd of cattle drinks and cools themselves in the water on the left. There are four additional listings of David Roberts engravings of Egypt...Category

- Two Nudes Posing With Armchair, Hand Drawn Stone Lithograph, Stiletto HeelsBy Mel RamosLocated in Union City, NJTwo Nudes Posing With Armchair is an original hand drawn stone lithograph attributed to the American Pop artist Mel Ramos, printed at Bank Street Atelier NYC circa 1970 using black, olive, tan and orange inks on Buff color ARCHES paper 100% acid free. Two Nudes Posing With Armchair is an unusual, almost surreal composition depicting two nude young women; one seated with knees bent, sitting sideways on top of a tan and orange print armchair; the other woman is scooched down underneath the chair. Two mysterious stiletto heel shoes are visible - one below the chair and one above in the seated woman's hands adding to the intrigue of this interior setting. Print size - 16.5 x 12 inches, unframed, excellent condition, full bleed image no margins, rare unsigned Printers Proof/Trial Proof from an unknown early edition, fine hand printed impression. Historic Note on Bank Street Atelier - Bank Street Atelier was founded in 1969 by George J. Goodstadt (Fine Arts Publisher) along with Jacques Mourlot, third generation of the famous Mourlot print shop in Paris, France. Bank Street Atelier became one of the premier lithography print studios in NYC at that time and became a major graphic center, which attracted many of the Modern American Masters of the 1970’s, including Alexander Calder, Willem deKooning, Red Grooms, Al Hirschfeld, Ellsworth Kelly, Romare Bearden, Fairfield Porter, Jasper Johns, Frank Stella, Alex Katz and many more. The resulting prints were produced with the highest quality and earned a reputation in the art world for professionalism and excellence in lithographic printmaking. About the artist - Mel Ramos(1935 - 2018, California) Mel Ramos is an American Pop artist best known for his female nudes painted alongside brand logos. The artist’s coupling of women with familiar products like martini glasses and bananas serves as a commentary on the ways in which capitalism has employed the female body. “I make sure that my pictures are not too erotic and that they always have a trace of humor,” he said of his work. “I make sure they are ‘in good taste.’ Either you understand it or not.” Born on July 24, 1935 in Sacramento, CA, Ramos like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, found inspiration through the comic books Wonder Woman and Superman growing up and later pinup posters...Category
