EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Inland Printer. Christmas number MDCCXCIX, c1899 (?)" is an exquisite example of the artistic prowess of American graphic designer, William H. Bradley. Created towards the end of the 19th century, this work of art showcases the pride and dignity of two printing apprentices, a male and a female, standing proudly before a printing press. The intricate lettering and ornate decorative elements are characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, which was popular during this period. The image is filled with a sense of heritage and tradition, with the English text and Western script adding to the vintage feel. The two figures, dressed in clothing reminiscent of the era, exude a sense of pride in their occupation as printers. The man, with a hand on his hip, and the girl, with a letter in hand, both display a posture of confidence and determination. This lithograph was likely published as part of a Christmas issue of a magazine or poster series, and is now part of the esteemed collection of the New York Public Library's Wallach Division Picture Collection. The grey and yellow color palette adds to the overall charm and nostalgia of the piece. The intricacy of the lithograph's design is a testament to Bradley's mastery of the lithotint technique, which allowed for a wide range of tonal values and shading. This image is a beautiful representation of the printing profession during the late 1800s in the United States, and a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art or graphic design.
