1824 Native Americans NW K. J. Brodtmann hand colored FOLIO stone lithography




Native Americans of the Northwest. Chugach man of Prince William’s Sound in conical decorated hat, nose ornament, and labrets of walrus ivory in his lower lip. Nootka man with tattooed brow and nose ring. In EXQUISITE ORIGINAL hand coloured. As such extremely rare. Stone lithography was the first printmaking technology that allowed a traditional artist to work using traditional techniques, and to create prints that could rival an original painting in terms of detail, mood and color variations. Brodtmann employed techniques for “texture” that are quite similar to that of an aquatint. A handsome example of his Brodtmann’s aesthetic sense and skill in the medium complemented by EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL HAND COLOURING (found only very rarely). He was a prolific and popular author of zoological works, including volumes on birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. [Issued in: SCHINZ, HEINRICH RUDOLF]. BRODTMANN, KARL JOSEPH, Lithographer.
