The Song of the Lark hand-colored lithograph?

cleveroc · #1 Mar 25, 2007, 01:06 AM

I have a 12" x 16" hand-colored litho (very old...in family since I was very young)
Bottom left corner says 2456 The Song of the Lark, right hand corner Made in U.S.A.
Back of frame says "Lot #11", assuming it was in auction or something. I carefully took print out of dirty frame under the glass and the print is obviously very old, the back is yellowed and the paper is semi-fragile. Does anyone know what lithographer would have reproduced this Jules Breton work? This print is more of a blown up version of the original work, in that the legs of the peasant girl are not shown. It is quite beautiful, and the inks are vibrant. Any idea what this may be worth?

Thanks.
