Object description :

"Louis Knaus : Very Big Engraving "la Cinquantaine""
Louis Knaus "The fifty" huge chisel 53 X 81 in the image, 67 X 90 in fulling, 75 X 99 in the cardboard on which the large margins are stretched, thus bulging the back of it. Some light foxing, tiny scuffs in the center.
Engraved by Paul Girardet in 1861 for Goupil and company after the painting by Louis or Ludwig Knaus (1829-1910) presented at the Salon of 1859. Those who know the Art of printmaking know how delicate it is to engrave the plate of copper, here, we can easily imagine the difficulty on such a huge board! The charming scene, which should in fact be called "The Golden Wedding" shows an elderly couple opening the dance at the party given for their fifty years of marriage. It offers us a multitude of funny details such as the man holding the children wanting to rush on the track, the grumbling cook to be of chore of scrubbing dishes, the dog who takes advantage that the attention is elsewhere to serve, etc. .
Do not hesitate to ask us by email or telephone for additional information or photos.
