Title:	Grundelwald
Designer:	Rowbotham, Thomas Leeson (Born, 1783 - Died, 1853)
Date:	c. 1865
Medium:	Original Chromolithograph
Publisher:	M. & N. Hanhart, London
Note:	Thomas Leeson Rowbotham: Grundelwald was designed by the watercolour artist, Thomas Leeson Rowbotham (Born, 1783 - Died, 1853). His son, Thomas Charles Rowbotham (Born, 1823 - Died, 1875), was also a well known watercolour artist and a fine lithographer. During the 1860's, he created a number of lithographs after both his and his father's designs.
	Chromolithography -- printing images in colour by using a series of carefully registered tint stones -- became the most popular method for the original print-making of everything from posters to fine art during the last half of the twentieth century. Invented in Germany during the 1830's chromolithographic techniques quickly spread and by 1860 major lithographic firms had been established in the United States, Britain and the Continent. The work of such publishing and printing houses of this era, such as, Currier and Ives in New York, Louis Prang in Boston, the Arundel Society in London and Alfred-Leon Lemercier in Paris, are now well known to most collectors of nineteenth century chromolithographic art. One of the most technically accomplished chromolithographic firms was London's, M. & N. Hanhart.
	The lithographic publishing house founded by Michael Hanhart had a long and successful history. It published its first prints in 1840 and continued to produce work beyond 1888. The firm published everything from book illustrations to lithographic sheet music covers, but it was in the field of large, individual chromolithographs that M. & N. Hanhart excelled. Using a complex layering of tint stones, Hanhart printed elaborate works unique for their colouration and tonal values.
