Vintage Lithographic Landscape Print on Embossed Cardstock
This item is a vintage lithographic print featuring a tranquil, pastoral landscape scene. The subject matter depicts a rustic cottage or cabin situated on the edge of a body of water, possibly a pond or narrow river, under a colorful sunset or sunrise sky tinted with shades of pink, yellow, and blue. A small rowboat is moored to a post in the foreground, and lily pads dot the water's surface. The composition includes tall, stylized trees and a flock of birds in flight, suggesting a mid-century illustrative style. The image is printed on what appears to be a textured, heavy-weight off-white or cream-colored cardstock, which is further embellished with a raised, embossed border framing the central image. The vertical format and the nature of the substrate suggest this may have been a high-quality greeting card, a decorative panel from a stationary set, or a small folio print. The colors remain relatively vibrant with a soft, matte finish characteristic of vintage offset lithography. There is no visible signature or maker's mark on the front. Condition-wise, the item appears well-preserved with some minor softening of the corners and very light age-toning along the paper edges, but no significant foxing, creases, or tears are immediately apparent.
