The album came with an introduction by E.A. Seguy, an accomplished artist known for his works on the beauty and patterns of the natural world. This is an example of the decorative Chinese craft of using lacquer on wood in successive layers, first working deep incisions and hollowed out details and then finely applying paint. The process was discovered by European artists and enjoyed success in France between 1910-1930. This is a highly detailed village landscape lithograph. Zoom in to note the distinctive and varied textural quality of the dyptic screen. The details of the image are intricate and elaborate. The classic design featuring a diagonal perspective is enblematic of the Asian styling of the period. The lithograph dates to 1925 and captures the essence of the beautiful techniques of lacquerwork designing. Rare and unusual lithograph. The image measures 8 x 12 inches; The lithograph to outside edge measures 11.5 x 15.5 inches. Clean borders. Excellent, pristine antique condition. See companion image in our shop.
