The quality of the paper is shown in one of the pictures
featuring print (Drawn from nature etc.)
I do not know which edition this is only that it is a Lithograph
after the Havel in the original size and coloration and viewed
under jeweler's loop shows in some areas the Lithograph matrix
pattern and in other areas it is not visible due to what looks like
hand painted coloring. The frame makers who's label is still attached
say that it looks to be one of they're hand finished 18Kt gold frames.
This frame today would exceed the price of what I have placed on this
piece and likely was a special edition to warrant this treatment.
Coming from a large house of wealth it was placed over a Console
in a high ceiling entrance directly in front of the entrance door.
making it the focal point upon entering the hall. See less
