<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeaGoat, post: 83571, member: 1136&quot;]I am going to go ahead and say these pictures weren&#039;t taken with a professional camera...</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought these at auction where they were sold as 1800s lithographs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The inscriptions read published by Henry Graves &amp; Co.</p><p><br /></p><p>The artist is De Montpezat, which Im guessing is Henri D&#039;annecy Montpezat.</p><p><br /></p><p>Engraved by Himely.</p><p><br /></p><p>Henry Graves &amp; Co was from 1844-1899</p><p><br /></p><p>Montpezat was 1817-1859</p><p><br /></p><p>and Im guessing the Himely is Sigismond Himely, an engraver, 1801-1866?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>When I look at the gray sky color (through a 40x loupe) I can see what looks like little dots, but comparing it to other prints in the house its not really the same thing. It goes throughout the whole picture; for example, the gray horse, where there should absent color you see the same tint color</p><p>When I get down to color area is where things start changing.</p><p>Some of the colors look almost waxy; for example, the browns, oranges, pinks, some of the deeper blacks (ie parts of the reins, carriage).</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the colors almost look painted on; like the blue as it is a solid stroke that in some places over laps.</p><p><br /></p><p>The shaded area (the gray horse for example) has your more spiratic/inconsistent dotting</p><p><br /></p><p>The names/titles do not seem to be the dotted pattern either.</p><p><br /></p><p>I removed one of the pictures from the frame. Whatever it is they glued it to a piece of cardboard </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Any idea on what these are?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20150920_123605_zpsisvlzalh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20150920_123536_zpsrmnxsazu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The print glued to cardboard </p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20150922_104257-1_zpsuve2pnhm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>These pictures are of the two brown horses with the lady</p><p>The corners</p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20150930_123042_zpskvzhmecc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20150930_123016_zpsni60zkdf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20150930_123104_zpsqaenknjf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20150930_123208_zpswmikrpjz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an example of the different types of inks</p><p>The horses with the sun reflecting off the ink</p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20150930_123034_zps81uguwxl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Waxy looking ink on dress</p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20150930_123023_zpsjo8gnyxo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Blue Paint examples</p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20150930_123246_zpsq9hxq7jp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20150930_123349_zpsw7qohjsi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
