A collection of five (5) European lithographs, spanning a wide range of subject matter and nearly 100 years. 

1. Charles Cooke, engraver. "Constellations in the Northern & Southern Hemispheres. See Astronomy." London, 1791-1792. Approx. 9 1/2 x 15 1/2 in. 

Plate 6 from an unknown collection of engravings by Charles Cooke. This plate includes two figures, the first showing the constellations in the northern hemisphere and the second the southern hemisphere's constellations. Not only are these constellations labeled, but they include drawings of famous constellations such as Pegasus, Cassiopea and Orion. 

2. Claude Alexandre Moisy, engraver. Neoclassical architectural motifs. [Paris], n.d. Approx. 15 3/4 x 22 1/4 in. 

Plate B. 2 from an unknown collection by French engraver Claude Alexandre Moisy. It shows three detailed depictions of neoclassical architecture that feature several floral and acanthus leaf motifs. 

3. Gihaut Frères, engraver. Auguste Bry, lithographer. Anaglyphic Company, printer. "Étude de Chataignier" by Jean-Baptiste Louis Hubert (ca. 1833). London, [mid-19th century]. Approx. 15 x 18 3/4 in. 

A period reprinting of Jean-Baptiste Louis Hubert's "Étude de Chataignier (Study of a Chestnut Tree)." The work was most likely originally painted, then given to the Gihaut brothers in Paris for engraving, followed by its first lithographic print by Auguste Bry. This chestnut tree shows incredible detail, down to the knots in the wood and the individual leaves on the tree. 

4. Campanella Angelo, engraver. "Leonardus a Portu Mauritio." [Rome], [late 18th century]. Approx. 15 x 20. 

A period reproduction of the engraving originally by Campanella Angelo, this version likely printed in summer 1867. It shows Franciscan monk Saint Leonard of Port Maurice be greeted by angels into heaven. The informational caption roughly translates to: "Leonard of Port Mauritius / Remarkable for the Integrity of His Life and His Passion for Self-Extortion / Constantly Working to Please God in Souls / Elevated to the Sanctuary by Pope Pius IX. / III Kalendas Quintiles An. MDCCCLXVII." 

5. Friedrich Wagner, engraver. Carl Mayer, printer. Christ at the Last Supper, after Leonardo da Vinci. Nuremberg, Germany, [1801]. Modern pen inscription to bottom mount recto. Approx. 12 1/4 x 15 1/2 in., mounted to 13 1/4 x 17 in. 

An illustration of Jesus at the Last Supper based on Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. Christ is seen sitting at the table, one palm facing up, next to two silver platters, food and a glass. Below the illustration are the words, "Amen Dico Vobis &c.," which translate to "Truly, I say to you," a phrase Jesus uses often in The Bible.
