Comments: Starting in the 1890s, printing ink companies commissioned high quality and artistic advertisments to demonstrate their ink colors. The finest were made for the Ault and Wiborg Company of Cincinnati. These ads only appeared in Printing Industry publications and are very scarce today. This is a rare example of Art Nouveau American design and superb color lithography. This image has a medieval calligraphy design, but I'm not sure of the origin...perhaps Coptic Egypt?
Price: $65
Condition: Excellent, fine color, unmatted and unframed.
