DESCRIPTION: This art folio featuring historic Fort Ticonderoga, New York, contains prints of four superb sketches by Walter Hartig that are ready for framing. A sheet detailing the history of the Fort (Held by 3 nations, 6 times attacked, 3 times it held, 3 times it fell) is included with four top-quality prints on heavy stock of Hartig's fine sketches. A fifth sketch is printed on the cover of the outer paper folio, which is entitled, Four Sketches of Historic Fort Ticonderoga. We have no idea of the age of this collection as it is not dated, but the design on the history sheet suggests art nouveau/late 19thC. This folio came from the estate of a print and engravings dealer and was part of a huge collection of fine art prints, etchings and engravings acquired over his lifetime.
CONDITION: Excellent--all four sketches are perfect; no foxing or stains. Absolutely clean and ready to be matted and framed! Minor wear to the edges of the outer portfolio and some grubby marks and areas where labels have been removed from the back; a curl to one edge of the history sheet. See photos.
SIZE: Outer folio is 14-3/4" x 11-1/2"; sketches are each 14" x 11".
