A souvenir of the 1896 Eucharistic Congress in Orvito, Italy - a mass religious gathering. Nice that it's preserved that way. The paintings are...
You don't have an original Picasso lithograph. You have a reproduced print from an exhibition in 1959. The one in Chicago, with the reversed...
Hypothetical: if Picasso drew the image on stone, then a print pulled from the stone would be a mirror image of what was on the stone. The red...
Maybe it had a ring in its mouth, though I don't know why.
Lots of possibilities on that round building, but we'll probably never know for sure. Thanks for the suggestions! Mountain William <--> Hill...
Picasso, Games and Reading, 1959. What you are seeing as a squiggle is the fingers of a hand. Near the bottom of this page:...
Looks like the whole town turned out for the parade. There's not just the crowd on the street: all the windows are packed as are the roofs....

The triangular sign says Weiser Drug Co. (the letters in "Drugs" apparently being electric - maybe neon). Right down at the point of the...

Looking for some photos (which I did not find) I came across these scans. They were in files of scanned family documents, so they may be...
There's not a section here where people post links to their site. I think you can provide a link in a signature to your posts, but the mods will...
I think time and mortality are the themes. The fact that the painting can be identified probably doesn't have a bearing. It's interesting....
It looks good from a distance, but your photos seem to show an inferior quality casting.
For what it's worth, the print part is St. Matthew and the Angel, attributed to Karel van der Pluym, in the North Carolina Museum of Art. [IMG]
Godden shows H.B. & Co. as Harvey Bailey & Co. (1833-5) or Henry Brown & Co. (1828-30). Looks good to me. Blue Willow pattern. The dimple on...
Looks like the Willow transferware pattern done in brass.
Sure. Why not? It would be like a decal.
I'd guess walnut on the frames and 3rd quarter 19th c on the portraits
