$59.99

Up for sale is a beautiful landscape printtitled \"No. 917. New England Farm Scene\", and is copyrighted1918 Muller Luchsinger & Co., N. Y. Artist: Unknown and the print does not have a signature.

Searching the web using Google with the above information, I had no luck finding this print, but I did find many others by Muller & Luchsinger. While I think there is some resemblance to the works ofWilliam Chandler I reviewed, as the article below states, this was most likely an obscure artist.

The print is in great shape, with the only notable flaws being it was framed in a too small opening for a while, so there is a mild acidic burn in the clouds and an inch in from the sides, but the deep colors at the bottom hide this slight toning. This toning is not really all that noticeable if you\'re not looking, but for the sake of honesty! Also, there is a remnant of a piece of tape at the bottom of the print which someone applied long ago. For my part, I used photo corners, so no tape or adhesive touch the print and there is a sheet of acid-free paper between the backing and the print.

The frame this was in was beyond repair, but the frame I usedis of stout construction and wonderfully accents the print. The framehas a deep marbled turquoise color surrounded by two bands of gold with a black outline and stepped center. The mat is a soft green which matches closely the hills in the distance. The frames roughdimensions are14\" T x 25\" W with an image area of 9 3/4\" T x 19 3/4\" W

I have several hours of effort into this and very happy with the outcome, so if you\'re looking for something beautiful and obscure, you may be there!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

What I found about Muller, Luchsinger at Meibohm Fine Arts:

Muller, Luchsinger & Co., New York (American Art Publishers, c1886-c1930) produced thousands of different types of prints, chromolithographs & lithographs for retail sale to the public c1886-c1930. The company published many prints by numerous well known artists of the time, as well as prints by obscure artists that were usually of decorative appeal and often those particular prints did not include any printed signatures, but included rather, a printed title and associated inventory number. One particular artist that the company printed numerous early landscape prints for, was the American artist William Henry Chandler (1854-1928) during the 1890’s, and many of his prints turn up at sales, estate sales, on and various websites on the internet. The company was primarily known for printing landscape scenes, religious & inspirational prints, various war/military prints, still lifes, fruit & floral still lifes, genre scenes, holiday scenes, western/Native American Indian scenes, photo prints, stereoviews, scenes with children & animals, etc.

Muller, Luchsinger & Co. are pretty obscure as a publishing company and unfortunately there is not a lot of information out there for them as a company, but the firm was established circa 1886 by John & Adolph Muller and Jacques Luchsinger (c1851-1919). Jacques Luchsinger died on Christmas Eve in 1919, but the firm continued through about 1930 or so, which is the latest date I have found for their company. Their business addresses included: 60 Duane Street, NYC, then at 368 Broadway in the city and then later at 576 Broadway.
