Description

Selling an exceptional, highly collectible antique stone lithograph showcasing a magnificent, lively imperial view of the famous Baroque monument "Mariahilfer Kirche" (Parish Church of Mariahilf) in Vienna, Austria, originally cataloged in 1783.
Unlike modern digital reprints, this is a true masterclass in classical printmaking, featuring intricate architectural details, royal horse carriages, and historical figures, beautifully enriched with premium hand-painted watercolor tones.
Historical Value & Premium Provenance:
• Subject Matter: A precise historical panoramic chronicle of the Mariahilf district ("Ansicht der Kirche und das Klosters zu Maria Hielf in der Vorstadt Leimgrube"), featuring its bilingual classic German and French index titles at the margin.
• Authenticity Marks: Includes the official historical printmaker series initials "C.P.S.C.M." (Cum Privilegio Sacrae Caesareae Maiestatis - meaning it was published under the exclusive Imperial Privilege of the Holy Roman Emperor) on the bottom left corner, confirming its heritage lineage.
• Framing & Age: Professionally custom-framed in Vienna, Austria, during the mid-20th century (circa 1950s–1960s) by the high-end traditional artisan workshop "Anton Böck - Kunst u. Einrahmung" (with its official red gallery label preserved on the reverso backing).
• Frame: Premium, heavy-set classic gold-gilt vintage gallery frame with a custom museum-grade passe-partout.
