FROM An 1894 Publication. Approx Image Size : 11 x 9 inches Approx Overall Size: 16 x 11 inches CONDITION: Foxing in the borders otherwise in Excellent Condition. Print Image is clean, clear, sharp with beautiful detail. As scanned. This 1894 lithographic print titled Sommermärchen (translated as "Summer Fairy Tale") by Friedrich Stahl captures the ethereal beauty and romanticism of a fairy figure enveloped in a dreamlike scene. The artwork showcases a delicate, translucent fairy figure, appearing nude with gentle, soft-toned shading, bathed in the glow of a large, full moon. She hovers gracefully among blooming lilac branches, with butterflies and floating petals enhancing the idyllic atmosphere. The imagery of lilacs and butterflies, along with the title Sommermärchen, invokes themes of fleeting beauty, innocence, and the enchanting qualities of summer. Below the illustration, a poem in German describes the enchanting qualities of a summer s dream, touching on themes of love, nature, and longing. The German poet listed below the poem, Heinrich von Gundenberg, adds a poetic element that enhances the artwork s romantic and nostalgic feel. The condition of the print appears good, with vibrant colors and only minor signs of aging such as slight fading around the edges. The detailed textures in the flowers and delicate tonal variations in the fairy's figure are still well-preserved, suggesting that it has been carefully maintained. Overall, this lithograph combines the beauty of nature and myth, embodying the late 19th-century fascination with fairytales and romanticism. Printed on cream color coated heavier paper. Text and engraving on the back.This beautiful print would look great matted and framed. Or an art supply store can provide you with a selection of frames for old art treasures.
