GRÖNLAND, After Theude (1817-1876)
Tableaux de Fleurs et de Fruits. Lithographiés aux deux Crayons par Napoleon Franco...D'après Theude Grönland
Paris & London: Goupil & Vibert, and E. Gambert, Junin & Co., [circa 1853]. Tinted lithograph, coloured by hand, by Franco, Goupil blindstamp beneath title. Image size (including text): 13 3/4 x 17 3/8 inches. Sheet size: 20 1/4 x 25 7/8 inches.
A very finely worked still-life of flowers and fruit after the artist Gronland.
A natural history lithograph of the highest quality, with great care paid to the hand-colouring of each individual fruit: the ripe peaches and grapes rest on a bed of vine leaves with a sprinkling of auriculas and azalea flowers, and one bemused black beetle: a tour-de-force from the great French publishing house of Goupil.
