History Art Prints

History art prints: paintings, prints, manuscripts and posters depicting historical events and figures, or made as historical documents. They include Jacques Callot's The Large Miseries of War (etchings, 1633, on the Thirty Years' War), history paintings by Jacques-Louis David (Napoleon Crossing the Alps, 1800) and Jean-Léon Gérôme (The Death of Caesar, Napoleon in Egypt), and Charles Meryon's etchings of old Paris.

It also includes Qur'an folios from 14th-century Iran, Persian miniature painting, Andreas Cellarius's 17th-century celestial maps, Soviet propaganda posters from the Russian Civil War, and a Bauhaus exhibition poster.

The selection includes both pictures of the past and objects that are historical records themselves, so a war etching can hang beside a manuscript page or a period poster.

The etchings, maps and manuscript folios suit studies, libraries and offices; the large history paintings work above a sofa, desk or fireplace. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with low-glare acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
