This living legends print is one from a limited edition collection limiting to one thousand impressions.  It was personally signed by "Red" Grange in Indian Lake Estates, Florida, July 1976. This painting was done by Bob Peak who won 9 Gold Metal Awards from the Society of Illustrators. This painting is in beautiful condition and carries history as well as great artistic design and detail with it.

A beautiful Salvatore Langella still life framed in a double matted and framed gold inner and outer frame.  Frame measures 13 inches wide by 16 inches long and has a depth of 2 inches.  Original and signed lower right hand corner.  The back shows the Italy stamp of Oggetit D'Arte di Russo Mario in Sorrento where it was purchased.  I don't see any issues with the painting - just some abrasions scuffs at the top of the frame - looks like it came in contact with something white - looks like dried spackle not sure but should be able to be cleaned up with minimal effort.  Also one corner needs some gilt touch up on frame.   There is also another Langella still life I have listed - they were purchased in Italy as a pair.

This is a rare lithograph from 1820 printers  Walter & Cohn handcolored by Henry Constantine Richter and Joseph Wolf.  This one depicts winter plumage - Lagopus Mutus.  The lithograph is in superior shape given its age having been protected so many years behind glass.  I note some light spotting on the paper in the margins - nothing in the image area. Also note the print shows some waves along top edge as photo shows.  Outer glass is very grimy on this one.   Double matted with the outside matte of woven linen it measures 29 1/2 inches wide by 23 inches tall.  The wooden frame either has holes in it for effect but I think they are most likely some sort of insect damage over the years.  Backing should be replaced as it is quite worn as the photos show.  This is one of three prints I have on Ebay from a local estate where most of the items were purchased in the 1950s from Sotheby's in NYC.
