John Alfred Vinter (Day & Son, London)

John Alfred Vinter published by Day & Son London - Portion of a Shield in Silver by Vechte for Hunt and Roskell of London Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth Century at the Great Exhibition

Portion of a Shield in Silver by Vechte, for Hunt and Roskell of London (Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth Century at the Great Exhibition)

John Alfred Vinter's original colour lithograph, "Portion of a Shield in Silver by Vechte, for Hunt and Roskell of London", was published by Day & Son in 1852 as part of a series entitled, Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth Century at the Great Exhibition. The scene depicts John Milton dictating his epic poem, "Paradise Lost", to his daughter. He is inspired by the genius of Religion and of Poetry (to the left) with their emblems of the torch and the lyre. Satan appears behind them, crouching behind a shield. To the right are Adam and Eve, with her regrettable apple. Behind them is the forbidden tree with Milton's 'subtle serpent' coiled round its trunk. The outer border includes small scenes of the angel Raphael cautioning Adam and Eve, the battle between Abdiel and Satan and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise. This original impression of John Vinter's "Portion of a Shield in Silver by Vechte, for Hunt and Roskell of London" is printed on mid nineteenth century wove paper and with full margins as printed and published in London in 1852 for the "Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth Century at the Great Exhibition".
 
Title: Portion of a Shield in Silver by Vechte, for Hunt and Roskell of London
Artist: Vinter, John Alfred (London, 1828 - 1905)
Date: 1852
Medium: Original Lithograph Printed in Colour
Publisher: Day & Son, London
Source: Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth Century at the Great Exhibition
Note: John Alfred Vinter 'John Vinter': A painter and lithographer, John Alfred Vinter exhibited his art at the Royal Academy from 1847 to 1902. He was best known for his fine portrait work and on a number of occasions he was commissioned by no less than Queen Victoria for his lithographic work in this field. Today the art of John Alfred Vinter is included in such major collections as the British Museum and the National Portrait Gallery, London.
  Day & Son, London: Some of the most ambitious and accomplished printmaking projects of the Victorian era were launched by the lithographic publishers, Day & Son. The firm began in the mid 1820's under the title of 'Day & Hague' and assumed its more familiar name in 1845. Throughout their early years they printed and published lithographs dealing with a wide range of subjects, such as, hunting scenes, genre depictions and topographical views. In the late 1840's, however, Day & Son came to the forefront as a pioneer of the recently discovered medium of the color lithograph; that is, printing lithographs in color by utilizing a series of meticulously registered tint and color stones. Each color and hue required an individual printing. A large and complex color lithograph, like "Portion of a Shield in Silver by Vechte, for Hunt and Roskell of London", was created by using many separate printings. Thus, apart from the obvious beauty of the original work of art, it represents an important example of one of the most demanding of art techniques. Day & Son was so accomplished in this field that the firm was appointed, 'Royal Lithographers to Queen Victoria'.
  This original lithograph was printed and published in 1852 as part of a series entitled, "Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth Century at the Great Exhibition". This was the famous 'Crystal Palace' Exhibition where artistic and industrial accomplishments were showcased as never before. The Day & Son set concentrated on many of these innovations publishing 158 full color lithographs on areas such as sculpture, altars, stained glass and interior design.
  Lyre: The 'lyre' illustrated in the far left of this lithographic work of art is a stringed musical instrument, often played by the ancient Greeks, described by many as a small harp. The 'lyre' is composed of two turtle shell or wooden upright arms, almost in the shape of an 'S' which join at the bottom forming a 'U' shaped frame, and a crossbar or yoke near the top with four, and sometimes more strings in the center which are most often strummed to create a melody. The lyre hails from the zither instrument family which includes such beautiful chord instruments as the harp, the kantele, the kithara, the chelys, the guitar, the harpsichord, the piano and other similar chording instruments. Other works of art that represent the 'lyre' include, "Sibyl (Sibyl the Prophetess or Parnassus and the Goddess of Poetry) by F. C. Lewis, "The Lyre" by LeBlond & Co., London. , and Portion of a Shield in Silver by Vechte, for Hunt and Roskell of London by John Alfred Vinter.
