Description

This commemorative color print is a limited-edition offset lithograph titled Old House Haliburton by Canadian artist and Group of Seven member A.J. Casson. The work depicts a rustic, gabled homestead nestled within a stylized mountainous landscape, showcasing the rhythmic hills and rhythmic topography characteristic of the artist's style. Visual inspection of the print surface reveals a mechanical halftone dot pattern consistent with an offset lithographic reproduction. The piece is hand-signed by the artist in pencil in the lower right margin, situated below a secondary signature printed in the plate. It is pencil-numbered 6/100 in the lower left margin. Produced to commemorate the artist's centenary, the work includes a printed inscription along the bottom margin reading 1898 in celebration of A.J. CASSON 100th Anniversary 1998. A gold embossed seal is featured in the matting depicting the artist's profile with the dates 1898-1998. The print is professionally housed in a gilt-finished ornate frame with a double cream and green mat. Frame dimensions (from user-provided tag): 35.5 in x 33 in. Condition: The print appears in good overall condition with no visible signs of foxing, toning, moisture damage, or handling creases. The frame and matting are well-preserved with only minor surface wear consistent with age and typical display.
