A Sarah Bernhardt type, but probably just an allegorical representation of "Flora".
A knee-jerk, bee-in-my-bonnet purchase. After the recent thread on Fontaine fable engravings, I went looking for one cheap on eBay, and found...
If you are posting more stuff, please give some clue in the title as to what it is you are showing - glass, pottery, picture, whatever. You want...
I think they are likely prints. I would expect originals to be quite large - life-sized - and painted on silk, but I don't know the cultural...
Call them Ancestor Portraits.
Yes. A photographer set up the camera, but the ape took the picture. Consequently, there was a lawsuit over who owns the copyright - the ape who...
I wonder if those multi-colored beads might be dyed beans?
I'd go with this being a fake mark for 3 reasons: first, while it does resemble the 1804-9 imperial mark, every reference to that mark that I see...

Well here's a bunch that I've had over time (the second and the last are the only ones currently in my china cabinet) - 2 posts 19th C Italian...
Possibly. From this link:...

It does look like a dot matrix, so not chromos. Have these plates been trimmed? The problem is that modern reissues of this book will probably...
I'd say the bracelet looks deco, but the case looks more mid-century. Deco did make the leap across the war, so my very idle guess would be mid '50s.
The red and black seeds on yours might be Abrus precatorius (jequirity, Rosary Pea, Sailor's Valentine, Crab's Eye), which is native to India.
Believe it or not, I once had something similar. I asked about it online and did find some info. Here's part of my description: The large...
If these are chromos, they may be worth listing individually. If they are photomechanical, then they won't be worth it. I've searched the name,...
If you can get a good, sharp, and very close detail of one of the plates, it might help to identify the type of print. I don't think there were...
OK then, I'll leave it as is. (Saves me the trouble of re-photographing as well.) Thanks to all.
What is the nature of the plates? Are they chromolithographs? How large are they? This looks like a German equivalent of Owen Jones' "Grammar of...
Separate names with a comma.
