St Joseph and Child Jesus with Lily, Antique German Chromolithograph c.1900 This beautifully composed late 19th–early 20th century German chromolithograph presents a tender devotional scene of Saint Joseph with the Child Jesus, one of the most beloved themes in Catholic sacred imagery. Saint Joseph is seated in a humble workshop interior, gently resting his hand on his chest while the Christ Child offers him a white lily, the universal symbol of purity, obedience, and divine election. Both figures are encircled by radiant halos, reinforcing the sacred intimacy of this quiet, fatherly moment. The composition is rich in symbolic detail: the carpenter’s tools behind Joseph reference his earthly labor and humility, while the soft pastoral landscape visible through the opening suggests God’s providence beyond the domestic sphere. The infant Christ, rendered with luminous skin tones and expressive gaze, embodies both innocence and divine authority. The lily rises vertically between them as a visual axis of spiritual virtue, creating a powerful yet gentle devotional message. This print was produced using true chromolithography in Germany around 1900, a technique requiring multiple lithographic stones—one for each color layer. The softness of the tonal transitions, the saturated yet harmonious palette, and the velvety matte surface all confirm authentic period production. The lower margin bears the multilingual title “Hl. Joseph / St. Joseph / S. Giuseppe / S. José / Swięty Józef,” as well as the ecclesiastical approval line “Imprimi permittitur. Ordinariatus episcopalis Limburgensis,” confirming official Church authorization for devotional distribution. The imprint “Printed in Germany” further supports its origin within the great German religious printing houses of the era. This type of high-quality devotional chromolithograph was originally intended for Catholic homes, chapels, schools, and religious institutions. Surviving examples in strong condition are now increasingly sought after by collectors of sacred art, Christian iconography, and historical devotional imagery. Condition report Very good condition. Strong, unfaded colors with excellent contrast. Light natural toning to the margins. Minor handling marks consistent with age. No tears, creases, restorations, or losses observed. The printed text and imprimatur remain crisp and fully legible. Framing tips This print presents beautifully in a warm gilt or dark walnut frame with a soft ivory mat to enhance the golden halos and the warm burgundy and olive tones of Joseph’s garments. For a more contemporary devotional presentation, a matte black frame with wide museum-style matting works equally well.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene – Antique German Chromolithograph, c. 1895 This striking late 19th-century German chromolithograph depicts the moving biblical moment in which the risen Christ appears to Mary Magdalene following the Resurrection. Christ is shown standing in quiet majesty, halo radiant with divine light, His right hand placed gently over His heart in a gesture of compassion and reassurance. Mary Magdalene kneels before Him with deep devotion, her long flowing hair and rich garments emphasizing both humility and reverence. The composition is set within a tranquil garden landscape, traditionally associated with the Resurrection narrative, reinforcing the spiritual symbolism of rebirth, forgiveness, and divine mercy. Christ’s red tunic and deep blue mantle radiate warmth and solemnity, while the soft golden halo creates a luminous focal point that draws the eye immediately to His face. This scene, known in Christian tradition as *Noli Me Tangere* (“Touch Me Not”), represents one of the most emotionally powerful moments of the Gospel story. It became a highly favored subject in Catholic devotional art of the late 19th century, commonly displayed in prayer corners, chapels, religious schools, and family interiors. Produced using high-quality chromolithography, this print achieves exceptional painterly depth, with delicate shading in the flesh tones, refined folds in the drapery, and beautifully layered landscape colors. The gold highlights of the halos and the saturated reds and blues are especially well preserved, reflecting the superior production standards of German devotional publishers during this period. This is a visually commanding and spiritually meaningful artwork, highly desirable for Catholic collectors, sacred art interiors, and serious devotional art collections. CONDITION REPORT Good antique condition overall. Light, even age toning to the paper consistent with late 19th-century chromolithographs. Minor edge wear and very gentle corner softening visible upon close inspection. No major stains, no tears, and no restoration observed. Colors remain strong and vivid. FRAMING TIPS This print will display beautifully in a classic gilt or softly antiqued gold wooden frame to echo the sacred halo tones. For a more restrained interior, a dark walnut or black lacquer frame with a wide ivory mat and museum glass will create a dramatic devotional presentation. TECHNIQUE Chromolithography MAKER German devotional publisher, Germany, circa 1895 KEYWORD BLOCK Jesus and Mary Magdalene, Noli Me Tangere, resurrection scene, antique catholic print...

Antique Buffalo Engraving, Buffon Hand-Coloured Print Amsterdam 1769 This handsome hand-coloured 18th-century engraving of the buffalo, titled Le Buffle, comes from the rare Dutch edition of Buffon’s celebrated Histoire Naturelle, published in Amsterdam by J.H. Schneider in 1769. Appearing as Plate XXV in Tome XI, the image was drawn by Jacques de Sève, Buffon’s principal illustrator, and engraved by C.J. Fritsch. The plate is one of the most appealing large mammal portraits in the Buffon series, notable for its expressive character, fine engraving, and warm, atmospheric colouring. The buffalo stands in full profile on a grassy bank beneath a soft blue sky. Its muscular body, thick neck, and distinctive curved horns are rendered with precise cross-hatching, highlighting both strength and powerful form. The shaggy hair around the head and chest is drawn with exceptional sensitivity, giving the animal a lively, alert presence. Behind the buffalo, a distant landscape shows classical buildings, rolling hills, and soft vegetation—an elegant composition typical of de Sève, who often placed his subjects in idealised settings to evoke the exotic nature of these animals for 18th-century European audiences. Hand colouring in the Schneider edition is among the finest of all Buffon printings. The warm browns of the buffalo’s coat...
