1900s Antique Meyers Snake Python Reptile Natural History Chromolithograph Print
Item History & Price
This is another original color lithographic print from an encyclopedia published in Germany circa 1900-1905, the Meyers Lexicon, this time depicting a grouping of colorful Snakes (vipers, python family, "Schlangen") in a nature setting. A very fine condition print from one of the natural history sections of this multi-volume antique German en...cyclopedia, it measures approximately 9 1/2" by 6 1/4", including the surrounding borders.
The protective overlay sheet is present but un-attached attached, and the image and reverse side are both very clean, as shown in the scans. It was well-protected in an artist's morgue file for many years, so the paper is still quite supple and the colors to the lithography are still bright and very sharply detailed throughout. All text in German.
Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions you might have regarding this item, and I'll do my best to provide a satisfactory and timely reply. Overseas bidders are welcome, but must also take into account that shipping to other countries may translate into somewhat higher postal charges, and that if you wish to have the item insured, when the service is available, it will also have to be declared as to actual value for customs, which will add more fees and perhaps value added taxes in your respective countries. I'm willing to be flexible about shipping items at the cheapest possible rates, but can't be responsible for items that are either damaged or go missing when not insured against that unfortunate possibility.
