Background
The "Gallery of the American Automobile" original lithograph series by Clarence P. Hornung was completed in 1965. The series contains 100 colored lithographs of historic American automobiles depicting the development of the automobile in the United States from 1853 to 1915 starting with the 1853 Dudgeon Steam Wagon. There were 500 sets signed by Hornung. Each vehicle is carefully produced as a color screenprint on 24" x 14" heavy art paper. There is a separate explanatory caption provided by James J. Bradley, at the time head of the Automotive History Collection at the Detroit Public Library.
The original limited edition lithographs are 24 x 14 inches and have an embossed seal in lower left corner and plate mark from the lithographic print making process. These original prints are very scarce and highly collectible. Hornung's limited edition lithographs of antique automobiles are highly desired by collectors. A reproduction copy of the original lithographs was later completed in 1968 by the publishing company Harry Abrams, Inc. in a reduced size of 13 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches on high quality art paper. These prints are mounted by us in a custom 17 x 14 inch or 16 x 13 inch (dependent on size of image) double mat with your choice of frame. Antique car prints with mat and frame are ready for hanging and very desirable for wall decoration in home and office or as a gift. The separate original lithograph print comes in a plastic sleeve and can be saved as a collection of authentic prints.
