Item Details

In Plate

A set of two vintage black-and-white prints on paper. Featured is a halftone print after a work by listed Ohio artist Caroline Greene Williams (1855 – ?) titled By Way. The piece depicts a Southwestern Ohio cityscape with row houses lining a narrow hilly street. It is signed in plate to both the lower right and lower left, with the title printed in plate to the lower right. Also featured is a lithograph after a September 1898 landscape illustration by listed Midwestern artist Paul Sawyier (1865 – 1917). The piece depicts a covered bridge spanning a peaceful river; a quaint village with church spires is shown nestled to one side of the river. The image is signed and dated in plate to the lower left. Each print is double matted in black and beige and presented under glass in a gold tone bamboo-motif wooden frame fitted with hanging wire to the verso.
