Prang's Progressive Proofs 1895

"Prang's Progressive Proofs" is a bound volume of chromolithographic prints created by Louis Prang in 1895. This particular volume was part of the collection of William T. Walters, a prominent art collector of the late 19th century. Prang, a pioneer of chromolithography, produced high-quality color prints that were widely popular in the United States. His "Progressive Proofs" series showcased a range of subjects, from landscapes and still lifes to historical scenes and portraits. This volume, bound in a simple brown cover, would have contained a selection of these proofs, offering viewers a glimpse into Prang's artistic process and the evolution of chromolithographic techniques.
