19th Century Lithograph

A beautifully detailed 19th-century marine lithograph from the series Marine Designs and Sketches by Professor C. Grethe, printed in Stuttgart by A. Gatternicht. This finely executed work exemplifies the precision and artistry of German marine draftsmanship during the late Romantic period, when naval engineering and maritime art frequently intersected.

Rendered with exceptional technical skill, the print features intricate studies of sailing vessels and ship architecture both instructional and aesthetic in nature. Lithographs from Grethe’s Marine Designs and Sketches are increasingly rare, admired for their balance of accuracy and artistry, and collected by those with interests in nautical history, design, and 19th-century European printmaking.
