186516105London 1865. Chromolithograph. Trimmed and mounted on board as issued. In excellent condition with the exception of a tear in the image. Scratch in upper section of image with small puncture mark. Image size: 16 3/4 x 25 13/16 inches. A picturesque view of St. Goar on the Rhine by the celebrated landscape painter Thomas Richardson.<br/> <br/>Thomas M. Richardson born and died in Newcastle upon Tyne but spent a considerable amount of time traveling in France Switzerland Italy and Germany and produced lithographs of the watercolours he did there. This excellent study on the Rhine being a perfect example. The printing a major element in the success of a chromolithograph was done by M. & N. Hanhart. Richardson was son and pupil of T. M. Richardson the Elder who taught him to work in oils and watercolours. After his father's death Richardson the Younger worked exclusively in watercolour. He was a member of the Society of Painters in Watercolour and a member of the Royal Scottish Academy. Chromolithography was achieved by using a series of carefully registered tint stones to create a smooth richly coloured image. This printing process became immensely popular towards the end of the nineteenth century and was widely used in fine art as well as commercial printing. One of the most important chromolithographic firms was M & N Hanhart in London. The firm founded by Michael Hanhart began publishing its first prints in 1840 and remained in business until the end of the century. Hanhart's was known for its large separately published chromolithographs but it printed everything from book illustrations to song sheets. This stunning print after Richardson is a fine example of Hanhart's superior chromolithographs. Its intense colour and meticulous detailing is common of Hanhart's superior printing techniques representing the best example of nineteenth century chromolithography.<br/> <br/>Benezit Dictionary of Artists. unknown books
