Glacial Seas

Scene from the panoramic Zones Terrestres. Exceptional early wood-block printed rendition

SHARE

Glacial Seas, was the most important scene of the panoramic  Zones Terrestres designed by the artist Eugène Ehrmann in 1855 and printed by  the Zuber manufacture.

Over 2000 wood-blocks were required for the making of this décor (blocks destroyed during WW II)

This panel wood-block printed during the second half XIX-early XXc. reflects the fine process of early printing- finesse of the engraving and delicacy of the tones.

In excellent condition, the panel is mounted on acid-free linen canvas and stretcher.
