My grandmother bought these 2 lithographs from a country nursing home that closed in the 70's. She worked in the nursing home and she loved the content of the lithos and bid on them when they auctioned off all the stuff in the home.
The story I was told was that these lithographs came from a train station before they went to the nursing home.
They are dated, have names, and copywrite and are in original frames. The frame on the Road to the Coast picture has a small piece missing (about 1/2 inch) on the inside corner in the bottom right hand side.
The names of the lithos are:
Road to the Coast by M.H. Tabur.
Sushine and Shadows by A Bonner
Both are Copywrite 1945 O.R. Pecha, Jr.
PrintsPrintmaking is a very old art form, dating, in the case of woodblock prints…
Most beautiful and elevating images! I imagine that the colors have altered a bit sinces issue, but I simply love these colors. So glad that you have these! miKKo
