Description: PRE-RAPHAELITE STYLE ILLUSTRATION 1896 BY SCOTTISH ARTIST KATE LIGHT, FOR HERRICK'S POEM "THE BAG OF THE BEE". Original lithograph attractively printed in sanguine, and published as a Special Supplement in the 1896 issue of "The Studio". Kate LIght's name inscribed in bottom right corner. Condition is good, but with a little foxing (brown spots) to the blank margins (price adjusted accordingly). The main image area is clear. Size: Main image area measures 8.75.x 5.5 inches, with wide and adequate margins beyond. Published by "The Studio" magazine 1896. Hence "lifetime". The Studio was a lavishly-produced, prestigious quarterly festschrift of art, to which leading and promising artists offered examples of their work. Some were commissions from the editor, too. Whistler, Beardsley, Waterhouse, Vallotton are just a few of the artists whose original graphic work was featured. The publication took lithography to new heights in the 1890s, producing superb quality images. It was a vital showcase for the work of graphic artists, who had very little opportunity to display their work in the mainstream exhibitions which were dominated by oil painters. Printed on off-white wove art paper. Unframed.
