Wrinkly Walruses with young. Superb hand-coloured lithograph. Brodtmann c1827
by Brodtmann, Joseph
Wonderful Brodtmann antique print of Walruses with young.
Original hand-colored lithograph by lithographer, printer and bookseller, Karl Joseph Brodtmann (1787-1862) for his Naturhistorische Bilder-Gallerie aus dem Thierreiche (Natural History Gallery of the Animal Kingdom).
Brodtmann excelled in his finely detailed, accurately drawn, sympathetic illustrations of animals. He was born in Germany but moved to Switzerland, where he worked in Zurich and Schaffhausen. Brodtmann was a superb lithographer with a distinctive style and the ability to depict the finer qualities of the animals he portrayed.
This is a superb lithograph in relatively fine condition with lovely later hand-colour. The price has been reduced because of slight indentation/creasing, and also a little soiling of the page.
Image size is approximately 32.5 x 23cm (12.7/8 inches x 9 inches)
