Grandpapa's pet. [graphic] / Drawn & lithotinted by John H. Richard's, expressly for Miss Leslie's Magazine. The first specimen of this art ever produced in the United States.
Publisher
Philadelphia: Lith. of P. S. Duval
Date
[April 1843]
Physical Description
1 print: lithotint; 24 x 16 cm. (9.5 x 6.25 in.)
Description
Periodical illustration of a genre scene showing an elderly man watching over his toddling grandchild inside a cottage. The man sits on a bench next to a tankard and blankets. The grandchild wearing a dress and bonnet uses a chair as a balance. Scene also includes a sleeping dog, tools hanging on the wall and resting on the floor, and a plant displayed on a window sill. Lithotint was a lithographic process using different strengths of ink applied to the printing stone to create the appearance of a watercolor. The technique proved too arduous to be marketable and few lithotints were produced in the United States.
