Published between 1831 and 1835 by Carl Hellfrath's Steindruckerei in Gotha, Germany, during the Biedermeier period, this series offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural landscape of the time.

The Biedermeier era, known for its emphasis on simplicity, elegance, and a focus on domestic life, is reflected in the lithograph's charmingly aged appearance. The lithographic printing process employed for these artworks, with its meticulous attention to detail, perfectly captures the essence of Biedermeier aesthetics.

Despite nearly two centuries passing, the lithograph maintains its historical charm with a slightly brownish hue, minor foxing, and gentle creases. Acquiring such a piece not only enhances your living space with a touch of Biedermeier elegance but also secures a tangible link to the artistic and cultural milieu of that distinctive period. Accompanied by a copy of the first page of the volume, this framed piece, measuring 20x17cm, encapsulates the harmonious blend of historical significance and timeless appeal. See less
