Young Boy Seated 1803 Original pen lithograph, signed on the stone. Very rare early pen lithograph, on original aquatint mount, as issued. One of the twelve pen lithographs selected for the first set of artists’ lithographs ever to be published.
Excellent impression - both print and original aquatint mount in particularly good original condition. Inscribed on the stone “Barker del”. This outstanding example is from the first issue of Specimens of Polyautography, published in 1803 by Philipp André. This publication was the earliest of its kind, being the first ever to have employed the newly invented process of lithography.
