Item description from seller

Lithograph broadside, oblong 11-1/2" x 14-1/4." Lightly toned, light chipping at upper corner of blank margin. Very Good. This tinted lithograph depicts "a man on horseback talking to another man outside a farm dwelling, with a horse team harnessed to a conestoga wagon on the right, a two - wheel cart parked on the left, and a woman holding an infant near a gate to the farm yard. . . Inscribed on stone 'on foot of Blue Ridge Mountains, Pa.' on lower right and '13' on lower left" [Library of Congress]. The print is from the 1860 Kollner portfolio, "North American Foliage and Trees." Augustus Theodore Frederick Adam Kollner [1812-1906] was a gifted artist whose lithographs for the American Sunday School Union became among the most desirable and attractive of mid-19th century American children's books. By age 16 he was an engraver. A few years later he moved from Stuttgart to Paris. where he learned lithography. In 1839 he moved to the United States, settled in Philadelphia, and started his own lithography business. He did lithographic work for some of the best printers including Thomas Sinclair, Wagner & McGuigan, J.T. Bown and Frederick Kuhl.
