"Black and White Kingfisher" Antique Chromolithograph, Framed

A handsome piece of Victorian natural history wall art — the kind that looks right at home in a study or a bird lover's den. This chromolithograph depicts the Black and White Kingfisher in a lush tropical wetland scene, printed by L. Prang & Co. and published by Selmar Hess of New York, both well-regarded names in 19th-century American color printing. Details: - Title: "Black and White Kingfisher" - Publisher: Selmar Hess, New York - Printer: L. Prang & Co. - Medium: Chromolithograph - Frame: 12" wide × 14" tall, ornate embossed gilt border with burl wood inner molding - Hanging: Original wire and wood panel backing The colors remain vivid and the image is clear. The frame shows age-appropriate wear — some gilt loss at the lower edge and corner joins, and the wood backing is well-worn — but it's solid and displays nicely. Light foxing or toning to the mat area consistent with age. A genuine period piece, almost certainly late 19th century. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.

"Cubist Cats" Woodcut Print, Signed EMW, 1932 Date — Forgery Attribution

A striking modernist woodcut (or linocut) print titled "Cubist Cats" — two cats rendered in bold, angular cubist planes, black ink on warm cream paper, mounted on black mat board. The image itself is genuinely accomplished: tight hatching, confident carving, real visual energy. This print is being sold with full disclosure per the admin's research: it is attributed to Earl Marshawn Washington (American, 1962–2024), a known producer of artificially aged prints bearing false early dates and stylized forged signatures. The handwritten markings below the image read "Cubist Cats" as the title, a date inscribed as "1932" (a false year), and overlapping cursive initials "EMW" in the lower left — characteristic of Washington's hand. Details: - Title: "Cubist Cats" (handwritten, below image) - Attributed maker: Earl Marshawn Washington (American, 1962–2024) - Actual production date: c. 1998–2004 - Medium: Modern relief print (woodcut or linocut) on artificially aged paper - False date inscribed: 1932 - Signature: Stylized overlapping cursive "EMW," lower left - Sheet size: approx. 12" x 16" - Mounted on black mat board; not framed The print and mat are in clean condition — no tears, foxing, or significant damage visible. Sold as a documented example of Washington's forgery work, not as a period print. A genuinely interesting piece for collectors of outsider art history, print forgery study, or simply those who like a bold cat. This print is a recognized component of the extensive 20th-century art fraud ring operated by wood engraver Earl Marshawn Washington. Washington created highly geometric, stylized images mimicking European Art Deco, Vorticism, and German Expressionism. He printed them onto aged paper using heavy relief blocks to perfectly replicate the physical look and texture of a genuine 1930s block print. To pass these off to collectors, Washington claimed the blocks were carved by a legendary, fictitious great-grandfather named "Earl Mack Washington" during the WPA era. He penciled the fake initials "EMW" and false 1930s dates into the margins to invent a provenance that fooled the secondary art market for years. Legal Outcome and Market Status: The entire historical narrative was debunked by the art appraisal community and federal investigators. In April 2024, Earl Marshawn Washington was sentenced in federal court to 52 months in prison for conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. This piece is a documented counterfeit with no commercial fine art value, though it maintains a modest curiosity value of $150 among true-crime collectors when accurately represented as a modern Washington facsimile. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.

"By Parties Unknown" Relief Print, After Hale Woodruff — Earl M. Washington

A striking piece with a complicated story. This is a modern relief print (linocut or woodcut) copying Hale Woodruff's celebrated 1935 composition "By Parties Unknown" — a powerful image of a chained figure at a broken gate flanked by Gothic stained-glass windows. The print is the work of Earl Marshawn Washington (American, 1962–2024), produced as part of a recognized forgery scheme in which Washington reproduced Depression-era prints on artificially aged paper with false dates and signatures intended to deceive. Details: - Subject: "By Parties Unknown," after Hale Woodruff (original 1935) - True maker: Earl Marshawn Washington (American, 1962–2024) - Actual production date: c. 1998–2004 - Medium: Relief print (linocut/woodcut) on artificially aged paper - Handwritten markings: Title "By Parties Unknown" in pencil below image; false date (appears to read "1938" or similar) lower right; false cursive signature lower left in Washington's hand - Mat: Olive/sage green fabric mat; cream inner mat - No frame; unframed, mat only The print itself is cleanly executed and visually compelling — the composition is bold and the impression is sharp. Sold as what it is: a documented Washington forgery, not a period Woodruff original. Condition of the print appears good with no visible tears or losses; the aged paper patina is intentional. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
