Aztec Early Mexican Costumes, Set of 2 Antique Prints, 1500–1525 This striking pair of early 20th-century costume plates offers a vivid and historically valuable depiction of Aztec and early Mexican dress during the 16th century. Illustrated by Max Tilke and published by Ernst Wasmuth A.G. in Berlin, these prints belong to one of the most respected costume‐historical series of the period. Tilke was known for his meticulous research and his ability to translate ethnographic sources into richly detailed, accurate visual reconstructions. These two plates are among the most vibrant and desirable in the entire publication. Plate 144 presents warriors and nobles in full ceremonial and military attire. Jaguar warriors, eagle warriors, officers, and elite fighters are shown with their distinctive feathered headdresses, painted shields, quilted cotton armor (ichcahuipilli), and symbolic iconography referencing Aztec cosmology and rank. The colors and patterns reflect authentic codex sources, making the plate particularly valuable to historians of pre-Columbian culture. Plate 145 focuses on social classes and civilian dress from the late pre-Hispanic and early colonial period. Market vendors, weavers, young nobles, priests, and high-ranking women appear wearing garments such as tilmas, breechcloths, embroidered huipiles, feathered adornments, and body paint. Together, the two plates offer a rare, well-documented overview of everyday and ceremonial dress from Mexico around 1500–1525. The printing quality is exceptionally fine, with rich color lithography capturing the tonal variations of feathers, textiles, and painted patterns. These plates make a powerful impression when framed and are well suited for collectors of ethnographic art, museum-oriented interiors, historians of Mesoamerica, and designers seeking authentic cultural references. It is now uncommon to find both Mexican plates...

Adoration of the Magi, c.1900 German Chromolithograph (Printed in Germany) This beautiful early 20th-century German chromolithograph depicts the Adoration of the Magi, one of the most cherished subjects in Christian art. Printed around 1900–1920 by a major German devotional press, the work displays the hallmarks of high-quality chromolithographic craftsmanship: deep, luminous color; soft tonal transitions; richly layered stone-based pigments; and a gentle atmosphere that recalls late 19th-century academic religious painting. The composition presents the Virgin Mary seated with the Christ Child, Joseph beside her, and the Three Kings kneeling in reverence as they present their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. A young attendant appears in the doorway holding another offering. The figures are rendered with delicately modeled expressions, soft haloes, and meticulously detailed robes—particularly the embroidered white garment of the kneeling king and the golden cloak of the standing monarch. These chromatic effects were achieved through multiple lithographic stones, a technique that reached its peak among German devotional publishers during this period. The multilingual caption along the lower margin identifies the print for international Catholic distribution: “Anbetung der Könige. Adoration of the Three Kings. L’adoration des rois mages. L’adorazione dei Magi. La adoración de los Reyes Magos. Pokłon Trzech Króli.” This reflects the broad export networks of German publishers who supplied churches, monasteries, and private devotional homes throughout Europe and the Americas. The note “Printed in Germany” confirms its origin, consistent with presses in Munich, Dresden, Cologne, and Limburg, known for producing richly colored religious chromolithographs from the late 19th to early 20th century. This work is unquestionably an original chromolithograph, not a modern reproduction. The image shows true stone-layered color rather than digital or offset dots, and the paper retains the matte texture, subtle toning, and characteristic stippled pigment structure associated with genuine early 20th-century chromolithography. The presence of the multilingual caption, period typography, and the “Printed in Germany” imprint further authenticate the piece. Condition Report: Very good condition. Colors vivid and unfaded. Minor age toning to outer margins and small handling marks consistent with age. No tears, losses, or repairs observed. The bottom title and imprint text are sharp and fully legible. Tips for Framing: Ideal for framing in a gilded or walnut frame to complement the warm palette and ceremonial richness of the scene. A cream or ivory mat enhances the devotional character and highlights the luminous tones of the garments. A darker frame with a wide mat can also create a refined, museum-style presentation.

Rest on the Flight into Egypt – Antique German Chromolithograph, 1900 This serene and deeply devotional antique German chromolithograph depicts the biblical scene known as the “Rest on the Flight into Egypt,” showing the Holy Family paused in quiet refuge during their journey of escape. The Virgin Mary is seated beneath ancient trees, gently cradling the Christ Child on her lap, while Saint Joseph rests nearby, weary from travel. The softly glowing halos emphasize the sacred presence of all three figures. The composition is intimate and contemplative. Mary’s calm expression and protective posture convey maternal tenderness and spiritual strength, while the Christ Child sits peacefully, embodying innocence and divine promise. Saint Joseph, shown as a humble, exhausted guardian, reinforces the human struggle of the journey. The surrounding forest setting, with its shaded foliage and rocky ground, enhances the sense of temporary shelter and quiet protection. Executed in rich, harmonious earth tones with subtle golden highlights, this chromolithograph reflects the finest traditions of late 19th–early 20th century German religious printing. The soft painterly shading, delicate facial features, and atmospheric depth are characteristic of high-quality devotional prints produced for Catholic homes, churches, schools, and monasteries. This specific imagery of the Flight into Egypt held special meaning for families, symbolizing divine protection in times of hardship and uncertainty. Today, original examples are increasingly scarce, especially in well-preserved condition with strong color saturation. A beautiful and meaningful piece for collectors of Catholic art, Holy Family imagery, Marian devotion, or traditional Christian wall art. CONDITION REPORT Good antique condition. Light, even age toning consistent with age. Minor edge wear, with small handling marks at the margins. No tears, no major losses, and no restoration. Colors remain warm and well-balanced, with excellent detail in the faces and garments. FRAMING TIPS This print will frame beautifully in a classic gilt or medium walnut wood frame. Pair with a warm ivory or softly antiqued cream mat and UV-protective glass for a refined devotional presentation.
