John Edward Sowerby : British Wild Flowers

(around 1860-1894)

Hand-colored lithography

Plate 55

Doughty’s short-lived magazine “The Cabinet of Natural History and American Rural Sports” is an important imprint in the history of American printing. It contained the first colored sporting prints made in America. Issued in monthly parts and published from the end of 1830 until the spring of 1834, “The Cabinet” featured articles on hunting, detailed descriptions of newly discovered flora and fauna, and some of the finest examples of early American hand-colored lithography. It was originally the work of the Doughty brothers, Thomas and John, with virtually all of the plates being the work of Thomas, who also founded the Hudson River School. But, by the spring of 1832, the partnership had broken up and Thomas had moved to Boston. An abbreviated third volume (not included here) lacked Thomas’ touch.

Here's what the wall caption said about this series:

 

THE BULL

 

Just after World War II, Picasso engaged in a flurry of printmaking activity, this time focused on lithography. He produced four series of images, one of which was a progression of 11 states of a print called The Bull, each a completed composition in its own right. There were several unique aspects to these prints; central is that Picasso kept altering the same matrix to create each of the 11 variations. Previously, Picasso had only dabbled with lithography, never making anything more than simple line drawings or tonal images without any revision. Owing in no small part to his experience during the preceding decade exploring the full menu of intaglio techniques, Picasso chose to use lithography in unconventional ways-literally subtracting from and adding to drawn elements that had previously been chemically fixed and printed. Because of their chemical and flat nature, lithographs are not easily reworked, and printing Picasso's lithographs certainly required the patience and skill of great craftsmen-as his etchings had with Delatre and Lacouriere earlier. He worked closely with printers at Fernand Mourlot's studio, which dated to the golden age of color lithography in the late 19th century.

 

The idea of saving each progressive state in the evolution of his lithographs was inspired by Picasso's interest in storytelling as well as his desire to fix in concrete terms what he could not in painting. Picasso understood that printmaking could inherently fix a composition that would be fleeting in its production through another medium. His willful reclamations of the image of a bull are even more remarkable in that he took the image from a state of solid but unremarkable form to a point of elegant, elemental reduction.

WARREN'S

FEATHERBONE.

DRESS STAYS AND CORSETS

 

Date: Circa 1900s

Source Type: Trade Card

Publisher, Printer: The Henderson-Ackert Lithography Company

Postmark: Not Applicable

Collection: Steven R. Shook

Remark: In 1883, Edward K. Warren patented a process to utilize turkey feather "bones" as a substitute for rather expensive and inflexible whalebone in the manufacture of stay material for women's corsets.

 

This new stay material, called featherbone, was commercially successful. First manufactured in Three Oaks, Michigan, Warren expanded his manufacturing capacity in 1895 by establishing a branch factory at the former American Brass Works facility in Chesterton, Indiana; this factory was located directly northeast of the intersection of present day Morgan Avenue and Jackson Boulevard. The factory employed up to 170 workers and was at one time the largest employer within Porter County, Indiana.

 

In September 1904, Chesterton's Warren Featherbone Factory ceased operation and the Sall Mountain Asbestos Factory would then occupy the site.

 

The following news item concerning the Warren Featherbone Company appeared in the July 24, 1890, issue of The Tribune:

 

The Warren Featherbone company of Three Oaks, Mich., is looking for a new location. They claim their capacity for securing help in Three Oaks has reached its limit and the proprietors are unable to find a sufficient number of women and girls to keep up with their orders, and want to get into a town where they can get plenty of female help. Chesterton don't want a girl managed factory. We're no "she-town" and don't want to be. Those who ever have been in a Massachusetts "she-town" know what one is. Give us factories that emply [sic] able-bodied men and keep the women folks at home, where they belong.

We grabbed some time to have a chat with David Lingham, Wales-based darkroom purist and ex-litho industry stripper (not THAT kind). David’s got some beautiful images to share, as well as some insight into his photographic journey and why he shoots film.

Over to you, David.

And for a nice historical account of lithography's history, see the current issue of MIT Tech Review. It reminds me of my first trip to my Dad's workplace as a 5 or 6 year old... He showed me the ruby-lith patterns, cut by hand with Xacto knives. He started at the Motorola fab in 1966.

Otto Mueller was born in Liebau in German Silesia. Between 1890-1892 he was trained in lithography. From 1894 to 1896 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden and continued his study in Munich 1898. He left Munich's academy after Franz von Stuck classified him as untalented.

 

His early works are influenced by impressionism, Jugendstil and symbolism. From 1908, he turned more and more to expressionism. During this time there were meetings with Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Rainer Maria Rilke and Erich Heckel. In 1910, he joined 'Die Brücke', a Dresden-based group of Expressionist artists. He was member of the group until it disbanded in 1913 . At the same time Mueller also had contact with the artists group of the 'Blaue Reiter'.

 

During the World War I he fought as a German soldier in France and Russia. After the war he became professor at the academy of arts in Breslau where he taught until his death. Altogether his printmaking amounted to 172 prints, in woodcut, etching and lithography. In 1937 the Nazis seized 357 of his works from German museums, since the pictures were considered as degenerate art. Mueller was one of the most lyrical of German expressionist painters. The central topic in Mueller's works is the unity of humans and nature, whereas his paintings are focused on a harmonious simplification of form, color and contours. He is especially known for his characteristic paintings of nudes and gypsy women.

The plant has a different Latin name today.

 

LA: Limonium bellidifolium

EN: Matted Sea-Lavender

HU: Sóvirág (nem találtam a pontos magyar nevét)

 

Limonium plants do have nothing in common with lavender, only their colors.

 

They are to be found mainly in the Mediterranean regions of Europe. Common characteristic of the plants of genus Limonium is that they can tolerate salty (sea) water or salty marshes and meadows.

 

The matted sea-lavender is an evergreen sub-shrub. It is at home in the Mediterranean areas, in Turkey and in Central-Asia. Can be found mainly on salt meadows or marshes.
