Description: Absolutely stunning original rendering of Rothenburg ob Tauber in Germany with classical touches such as the horse drawn cart and period dress of the population. Pencil labeled and signed F. Palmer.

Artist: France Fanny Flora Bond Palmer (1812-1876) was a well known artist and lithographer of the late 19th century. Beginning a career in England as a lithographer, she and her husband Edmund Seymore Palmer, they later moved their business to the US. Fanny created art and reproduced other artists' works for publications. While their rapport was very positive, the business was not enough to support them.  Theft later sold the majority of the business stock to Nathaniel Currier who hired Fanny  to continue producing the paintings for the publications. The business would later become Currier and Ives.

Condition: The rendering is in amazing condition with no fading and almost imperceptible toning. The artwork is slightly offset within the display. The frame is in very good condition with minor marks from previous ownership. The display is glass and unmarked. The verso is paper taped cardboard with a Robert Sills Gallery, Inc. Fund Raising Auction label with register number. 

Provenance: This piece has been in my personal collection for many years. I purchased this artwork from a auction house  in Portland, Oregon. Robert Sills Gallery auction tag with register number on verso.


Condition: Good used condition - See description for detail
Measurements: 21.5 x 21.5 x 3
