Poster "brown bear polar bear" lithograph by Albert Kull published by Paul Parey Berlin 1905

This rare Lithograph brown bear (Ursus arctos) is from the series'chroder und Kull - biologische Wandtafeln zur Tierkunde 'and was published by Paul Parey, Berlin in 1905. This is table 53. Of course, lithography is an extremely demanding technique - especially at this large scale - that required 15 to 20 manual printing cycles for a single piece because each color had to be applied separately. These colors of course did not have to overlap in the end. This process is what gives lithographs their extraordinary depth and unusual longevity to their colors. Dimensions: 97cm wide x 65 cm high | 38 "wide x 25.5" high Condition: Some folds, rigidity and tanning but overall very good condition considering its age and use.
