Antique Edward Beyer 3-Color Lithograph of Yellow Sulphur Springs
Item Details
An original 1857 antique three-color stone lithograph by very well-listed American artist Edward Beyer (1820-1865). This lithograph is titled Yellow Sulphur Springs, Montgomery County Va., and depicts the still-functioning Yellow Sulphur Springs resort and spa that has been operational near the natural springs in Christiansburg, Virginia since 1798. In the lower margin, the words “Taken From Nature by Ed. Beyer” sit in the left corner and “Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1857 by Ed. Beyer in the Clerks Office of the District of Virginia” sits in the center. The piece’s title is printed in yellow at the bottom of the print. The print is presented behind non-glare glass in a modern speckled silver-toned frame. A wire is attached to the verso for hanging. Beyer began his career in Germany, before he and his wife immigrated to the Eastern United States in 1848. He is best known for his lifelike historical documentation of the Eastern United States, particularly Virginia. More information about the artist can be found at the link to the right of this page.
