Set of Three Lithographs Depicting Scenes from Popular Melodrama La Grâce De Dieu

19th century
Description

A set of three naive, original and amusing lithographs depicting scenes from popular melodrama La grâce de Dieu by Adolphe-Philippe d'Ennery and Gustave Lemoine based on Puget's most successful song À la grâce de Dieu, which, then, after its first performance in Paris in 1841, was the inspiration for the Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti for the opera Linda di Chamounix.

The success of this melodrama had undoubtedly marked popular memories and lithographs like these can be ascribed to that particular popular art which, since the 16th° century, produced coloured prints intended for the often still illiterate public.

Period: circa mid-19th century

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Narrative lithographs from the 19th century are planographic prints created using stone or metal plates to depict storytelling scenes, often inspired by popular theatrical melodramas, literature, or historical events.

These works were printed on heavy rag paper using oil-based inks and subsequently hand-finished with watercolour or gouache washes before being framed behind protective glass.

Authentic 19th-century lithographs display continuous ink tones rather than modern digital dot matrices, often showing age-related paper oxidation, hand-applied colour variations, and period typographic captions at the base.

Arrange them in a linear or grid gallery formation on a neutral wall, pairing the dark frames with modern accent lighting or timber furniture to create visual contrast.

Display prints away from direct sunlight and high humidity, ensure acid-free backing materials are used within the frames, and clean the glass with a dry microfibre cloth.
