Description
Presenting an original 1904 stone lithograph of the celebrated Victorian actress Lillie Langtry, from the Eminent Actresses series, artist-signed by Maud Stumm (1866–1935). The portrait depicts Langtry glancing over her shoulder with a contemplative expression, wearing a light blue off-the-shoulder gown and a gold necklace of teardrop pendants, with a large white lily in the foreground.
Lillie (“The Jersey Lily”) Langtry was one of the most famous and photographed women of the Victorian era — a society beauty, actress, and friend of the Prince of Wales. This authentic antique print captures her enduring allure, rendered in soft, watercolor-like tones against a pale green ground, a far cry from the bold commercial posters of the age and prized instead for its refined decorative elegance.
Executed as an original stone lithograph on thick stock paper, published in 1904 by the Gray Litho Co., New York, and bearing the artist’s signature. A certified original from the Eminent Actresses series, which also included portraits of Sarah Bernhardt, this collectible poster retains vibrant color and would be a lovely addition framed and displayed.
Offered by our IVPDA-certified vintage poster gallery with authenticity guaranteed, this genuine antique poster is sought by collectors of theatrical memorabilia, Victorian portraiture, and vintage posters for sale alike — a distinctive and affordable piece of 19th/early-20th-century print culture.
