The Historic Como Hotel Limited Edition Print by Margaret Looney
This is a professionally framed, limited edition lithographic print titled 'The Historic Como Hotel' by the artist Margaret Looney. The artwork depicts the iconic multi-story hotel in Como, New South Wales, characterized by its distinctive red domes, wrap-around verandas, and Edwardian architectural style. The scene is set against a lush background of green trees, with vibrant purple jacaranda trees blooming in the foreground, adding a seasonal Australian aesthetic. The print is numbered 67/500 on the lower left and signed by the artist on the lower right, indicating it is an early pull from a relatively small edition run. The piece is housed in a high-quality double-matting system: an off-white outer mat and a gold-toned inner fillet that complements the warmth of the print. The frame is a classic cherry or mahogany-finished wood with a slim gold inner beaded edge. The glazing appears to be standard clear glass. The overall condition looks excellent; the colors remain saturated without visible sun-bleaching or foxing on the paper. The framing is robust, showing no significant corner gaps or chips in the wood finish. Margaret Looney is known for her detailed architectural and landscape studies of Australian heritage sites, making this a significant piece for collectors of local history and regional art. The level of detail in the rendering of the hotel's masonry and ironwork reflects skilled draftsmanship and high-quality printing production.
