1870 Lithograph Sculptures City Hall Amsterdam Frieze Frederick William ARCH3

This is an original 1870 lithograph that shows examples of Netherlands, German, and French sculptures including: The Frieze of the City Hall at Amsterdam, and Diana and Caryatide by Arthur Quellinus; the Equestrian Statue of the Great Elector Frederick William at Berlin, the Bas Relief at the Royal Palace in Berlin, and Masks of Dying Warriors in the Armory in Berlin by Andreas Schlueter; The Rape of Proserpina by Girardon; The Kidnapping of Oreithyia by Gaspard de Marsy and Anselme Flamen; and Bas Relief of Justice by Francois Augier.

This lithograph is from a collection detailing the history and beauty of architecture from prehistoric times through the 1800s. Due to the heavy stock of the paper, the original plate emboss can still be viewed in the margins of most lithographsÑa rare and highly desirable feature of this art. Our digital capture process enhances the visibility and tone of the foxing; however, in the original pieces the foxing, especially along the edges, is less pronounced. Virtually all foxing is restricted to the outermost margin and would be eliminated when framed.
