OCTOBER, POTATO GATHERING ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAVURE AUGUST HAGBORG 1800S
THE ORIGINAL PAINTING, OCTOBER, POTATO GATHERING BY AUGUST HAGBORG WAS PAINTED AROUND 1889. THIS PAINTING WAS SHOWN AT THE PARIS EXHIBITION. SHORTLY AFTER THIS ORIGINAL 19TH-CENTURY PHOTOGRAVURE WAS PRODUCED. THIS RURAL SCENE SHOWED PEASANTS HARVESTING POTATOES IN THE CRISP AUTUMN LANDSCAPE. IT IS RICH IN NATURALISTIC DETAIL AND ATMOSPHERE. THE WORK CAPTURES THE DIGNITY OF RURAL LABOR.
THE DIMENSIONS ARE 11 3/4” X 17”.
I FOUND THIS ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAVURE IN AN OLD ATTIC IN THE LATE 1970S. THIS HOME WAS BUILT IN THE 1700S IN CONNECTICUT. THIS WAS IN A SECTION OF THE ATTIC THAT HADN'T BEEN EXPLORED IN YEARS.
VERY GOOD FOR ITS AGE. THERE ARE IMPERFECTIONS LIKE SPOTTING AND CREASES ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE OF THE BORDER. THE ACTUAL PHOTOGRAVURE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS WOULD LOOK ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WHEN FRAMED.
