FROM THE ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: One of our plates, "Gerome visiting a Pupil's Studio," from Escosura's painting, will give to the non-professional reader a notion of the way in which a painter of old-time subjects approaches his task. The artist is here represented painting from a female model in the dress of Marie de Medicis. Under her feet is spread a tapestry suggesting the rich gifts with which Henri IV wooed his intended bride—the handsome stuffs, Arras tapestries, Cellini vases, which the royal lover lavished by the hands of his ambassador in return for her miniature. A corner or end of the studio, surrounding the figure, is completely fitted up with provisional furniture forming a harmony with the model in the contemplated scene. Here is a bed entirely canopied with antique embroideries; coats-of-arms, ancient Gobelins, and quaint old picture-frames, garnish the walls; a buffet is set out with the vases, statuettes and toys available for the intended incident. Please note: the terms used in our auctions for engraving, etching, lithograph, plate, photogravure etc. are ALL prints on paper, and NOT blocks of steel or wood or any other material. "ENGRAVINGS", the term commonly used for these paper prints, were the most common method in the 1700s and 1800s for illustrating old books, and these paper prints or "engravings" were created by the intaglio process of etching the negative of the image into a block of steel, copper, wood etc, and then when inked and pressed onto paper, a print image was created. These prints or engravings were usually inserted into books, although many were also printed and issued as loose stand alone lithographs. They often had a tissue guard or onion skin frontis to protect them from transferring their ink to the opposite page and were usually on much thicker quality woven rag stock paper than the regular prints. So this auction is for an antique paper print(s), probably from an old book, of very high quality and usually on very thick rag stock paper. A RARE FIND! AND GREAT DECORATION FOR YOUR OFFICE OR HOME WALL
