Title:	A Winter's Feast
Publisher:	Sarony, Major & Knapp, New York
Date:	c. 1860
Medium:	Original Lithograph
	Napoleon Sarony (Quebec, 1821 - New York, 1896): Born of English parents in Quebec City, Napoleon Sarony learned lithography from his father and emigrated to New York in 1836. There, he worked as an apprentice for several lithographers, including Nathaniel Currier. Sarony then opened a lithographic business in partnership with Henry B. Major. The company went through a number of confusing overlapping alterations in names and partnerships. It was called 'Sarony and Major' (c. 1846 - 1857. Then Sarony's company bore the title, 'Sarony & Company' (c. 1853-1857). During the mid 1850's, Joseph Fairchild Knapp (1832-1891), entered the firm and the name of the company was expanded to 'Sarony, Major & Knapp' (c 1855 - c. 1864), and during this period produced works of art such as this original lithograph. After Sarony left the firm around 1864, the company took on the name of, Major & Knapp around 1864, and by 1888 it became known as The Knapp Company. Around 1890, Joseph Palmer Knapp (1864-1951), purchased the company from his father and shortly after renamed it, the 'Joseph P. Knapp Co.'. Later, the company would assume the title of the 'American Lithographic Company' and from 1892 to 1929, it became one of the largest lithographic firms in North America.
	Napoleon Sarony left the partnership in 1864 to pursue a new career in photography. Students of early photography will at once recognize his name as he rose to become one of America's most famous pioneers in this field.
	These American publishing and printing firms produced lithographic and chromolithographic prints dealing with Victorian genre which included pretty women, children, still life images of flowers and fruit, animal and bird prints. On a more serious note they created very early topographical views and maps of the United States and other countries that are now considered of great importance. Other subjects included images dealing with various important holidays, religion and political subjects. The lithographs were mostly based upon popular paintings and watercolors. Important American publishing companies that published and or printed original lithographs and chromolithographs from the second half of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century include, Sarony & Co., New York, Sarony, Major & Knapp, New York, the American Lithographic Company, New York John Winsch, New York True & Company, Augusta, Maine, Opeyfuss & Sachs, New York, H. Hallett & Co., Portland, Maine, Frank Leslie, Philadelphia, A. Hoen & Company, Richmond, Virginia, the Calvert Lithographic Company in Detroit, Michigan and others.
	Chromolithography: The revolutionary art of colour printmaking from lithographic stones began in Europe during the mid 1830's. The Germans, in particular, excelled in the new art form and many accomplished printers and publishers of that nationality moved to the United States at this time. The first American chromolithograph was created in 1840. During the following fifty years many of these original colour prints were made to adorn the walls of American parlours. Large and profitable businesses sprang up in almost every major city and by 1880 it had become the dominant form of artistic printmaking. The cheaper and more practical advances of photomechanical methods, however, sounded the death knell for the chromolithograph by the turn of the century. Yet, not even our most sophisticated means of reproducing images can equal the vibrant, oil-based colours of the chromolithograph, as one can clearly view from this original example.
	Today these chromolithographs have become very scarce, particularly the large images. A major share of the blame falls upon the ruinous methods of nineteenth century framers as they most often used the most acidic and damaging materials at hand. The result is that the majority of these important works of art have quite literally rotted away in their frames. Even surviving examples usually contain discolouration, time staining, chipping or creasing.
