Description

THE LAST MOMENTS OF JOHN BROWN ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAVURE THOMAS HOVENDEN 1800S THE ORIGINAL PAINTING, THE LAST MOMENTS OF JOHN BROWN BY THOMAS HOVENDEN WAS PAINTED IN THE 1880S AND EXHIBITED AT THE PARIS SALON IN 1889.  SHORTLY AFTER THIS PAINTING WAS EXHIBITED, THIS ORIGINAL 19TH-CENTURY PHOTOGRAVURE WAS PRODUCED. THIS PHOTOGRAVURE SHOWS ABOLITIONIST JOHN BROWN BEING LED TO HIS EXECUTION IN 1859. THE SCENE IS BASED ON A FICTIONALIZED ACCOUNT PUBLISHED IN THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, WHICH DESCRIBES BROWN PAUSING TO KISS A CHILD ON THE WAY TO THE GALLOWS. THE DIMENSIONS ARE 11 2/3” X 17”. I FOUND THIS ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAVURE IN AN OLD ATTIC IN THE LATE 1970S. THIS HOME WAS BUILT IN THE 1700S IN CONNECTICUT. THIS WAS IN A SECTION OF THE ATTIC THAT HADN'T BEEN EXPLORED IN YEARS. VERY GOOD FOR ITS AGE. THERE ARE IMPERFECTIONS LIKE SPOTTING AND CORNER CREASES ON THE BORDER (PLEASE SEE PHOTOS). THE ACTUAL PHOTOGRAVURE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS WOULD LOOK ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WHEN FRAMED. 39
