Original 1861 German Produced Chromolithograph

By Lithographer J. J. Dillmunn

Rendered from the art of Caspar Scheuren

Caspar Scheuren was a German painter, draughtsman and graphic artist born in 1810 at Aachen and died 1887 at  Düsseldorf . Caspar was a very productive landscape painter, watercolourist, illustrator, and graphic artist first taught by his father J. P. Scheuren (1774-1844).  By 1829 Scheuren had become a member of the Academy of Arts in Dusseldorf  that had been formed two years earlier. In 1835 he opened his own studio in Düsseldorf. He travelled extensively through Austria, Switzerland and Italy and was prolific until a serious illness in 1864 ended his art career. Most notable in his works were the cities, castles, churches and monastaries  along the river Rhine.

The  print is 10.5" by 8."  with a blank reverse side

Superb Conditon for a print approaching 150 years of age

Published in Germany in 1861, the coloration is absolutely striking and well beyond the means of American expertise in the mid 19th century.
