Title:	Harlequin (19th Century American Advertising Art)
Advertiser:	A. Hoen & Company, Richmond, Virginia
Date:	c. 1870
Medium:	Original Lithograph Printed in Color
Publisher:	A. Hoen & Company, Richmond, Virginia
Source:	Advertising Label
Note:	A. Hoen & Company: A German immigrant, August Hoen founded his lithographic company in Baltimore in mid 1850's. The lithographs printed in Baltimore read; "A. Hoen & Company, Baltimore". Around a decade later he relocated his firm to Richmond, Virginia, and became best known for his layered, five-color printing techniques. An original lithograph, Harlequin is both a striking example of the color printing and 19th century American advertising art by A. Hoen & Company. This work of art depicts a ballet scene in a theatre, the main dancer is of course the harlequin, a ballerina is dancing behind him and the third character on stage is a troll who is captivated by the ballerina's performance.
	Chromolithography -- printing images by using a series of carefully registered tint stones -- became the most popular method for publishing everything from fine art and posters to post cards and advertisements during the latter half of the nineteenth century. The Far less costly advancements of photomechanical methods, however made this original and complex form of printmaking all but obsolete by 1930.
	Companies were quick to recognize the vast potential of this colour technique. Beginning around 1870, advertisers regularly allied their products to appealing visual images. And in the following decades, these companies were creating the most expensive and elaborate works, spending thousands of dollars on aditional techniques, such as raised printings, bronzing, empossing and multiple hues. As antique artoworks, advertising images (more than any other form) reflect the true tastes of the times.
	This fine, original lithograph -- known to exist in only a handful of s -- represents the early ‘incunabula’ of the art form. Many of the finest and certainly the rarest of examples hail from the 1870’s decade. This was the era of sweeping technical and artistic innovations, and images like this are crucial to understanding the future developments of art. It was, in fact, these early advertising lithographs, which led to the grand posters of the Art Nouveau era of the 1890’s. Never before (or since) had fine art and advertising been so closely linked. These early colour lithographs are extremely scarce and difficult to come by, especially in such a fine state of preservation.
	It is not known what advertising company Harlequin was meant for since this does not contain the company's advertising letterpress. Whatever the case, Harlequin is a phenomenal work of art. The color printing is remarkable (especially for this early time) and the image -- so strangely surrealistic -- is unforgettable. By any criteria, this is a premier work of art.
