Chromolithography
10.75” x 8.25”
Man’s fascination with the domestic animals has spanned many centuries. Admired for both strength and beauty, the horse was domesticated for both its capacity for work and pleasure. Livestock became the staple of life with poultry, pigs, cows and sheep contributing to food stores and clothing.
This work hopes to familiarize the reader with each breed, old and new. Set in the barnyard for the most part, the animals stand in natural behavior presumably showing their best confirmation. The information beneath the image includes the owner name and, in many cases, information on prizes won.
Found in this work is another splendid example of chromolithography. Printing in color on stone was a remarkable technique, developed in America, for creating rich colors in a very painterly fashion. It was most successfully used with lush backgrounds and painterly subjects.

- ButtercupsBy Walter CraneLocated in Florham Park, NJFLORA’S FEAST A Masque of Flowers Walter Crane, Illustrator Cassell & Co., Publisher Color Lithograph London, 1889 Born in Liverpool, 15 August 1845, Walter Crane first studied art in his father Thomas’ studio. After both moving to London and losing his father, Crane obtained an apprenticeship as William Linton’s engraving shop. This position exposed the young Crane to political reform which would become a major influence on his future work. As in illustrator, Crane became part of an influential group of political and religious radical movements. A supporter of the Liberal Party, Crane was outspoken in his support of the Communard’s attempt to overthrow the French government in 1871. It is seemingly ironic that at this time that Crane’s reputation as an illustrator of children’s books began to blossom. Within a decade Crane would join his life-long friend William Morris’s Arts and Crafts...Category
