Description: VON BAYROS, FRANZ WATERCOLORS "Aus Meinen Schlossern" LIMITED EDITION (#345/900) COMPLETE PORTFOLIO OF TEN (10) ORIGINAL AQUATINT ETCHINGS, PUBLISHED BY STRACHE OF VIENNA, PRAG AND LEIPZIG, IN 1923. EXCEPT FOR LIGHT YELLOW SCATTERED SPOT STAINS IN SOME OF THE BORDERS, THEY ARE ALL STILL WITH NEARLY INTACT IMAGE AREAS DUE TO THE VERY WIDE BORDERS. (See more detailed Condition Description above).PRINTED DIRECTLY ON 13.5x19" TEXTURED IVORY COLORED PAPER WITH OVAL IMAGE AREAS OF AROUND 11x12+". THE PORTFOLIO IS MADE OF TWO CLOTH BOUND 14.5x19.5" BOARDS, WHICH ARE STILL IN QUITE REMARKABLE CONDITION WITH CORNER DINGS AND A FEW VERY LIGHT STAINS MARRING WHAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE NEARLY MINT. PURCHASED IN THE EARLY 1970s AND STORED IN OUR DARKENED WAREHOUSE SINCE, THE COLORS ARE STILL DEEP, RICH PASTEL, AND NONE OF THE IMAGES SEEM AT ALL FADED, ALL SHOULD FRAME UP NICELY WITH MATS HIDING NEARLY ALL OF THE STAINS.THESE ARE ALL TEN (10) OF THE COMPLET SET OF ORIGINAL LIMITED EDITION (#345/900) AQUATINT ETCHINGS, PRODUCED IN 1923-- OVER A HUNDRED (100) YEARS AGO!! AQUATINTS OFTEN RESEMBLE WATERCOLOR OR WASH DRAWINGS BECAUSE THE TECHNIQUE CONSISTS OF EXPOSING A COPPERPLATE TO ACID THROUGH A LAYER OF MELTED GRANULATED RESIN.A HELIOGRAVUE ON THE OTHER HAND IS MORE OF A PHOTOGRAPHIC ENGRAVING PROCESS WITH A TYPICAL HONEYCOMB PATTERN IN THE IMAGE, WHICH THESE DON'T SEEM TO HAVE. THIS PORTFOLIO COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL 13.75x19" BOOKLET (printed on similar textured paper as the etchings), LISTING ALL 10 ETCHINGS, AND WITH THE LIMITATION CERTIFICATION (#345/90) ON THE LAST PAGE.PLEASE VIEW ALL THE PHOTOS AND READ THE CONDITION DESCRIPTION ABOVE TO DETERMINE THEIR CONDITION FOR YOURSELF. I THINK THEY'RE STILL IN REMARKABLE CONDITION FOR BEING OVER A HUNDRED (100) YEARS OLD-- THEY LOOK EXACTLY LIKE ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS!
