Original vintage lithograph on paper from the Poster Reserve archive.

A ballerina rises into a poised turn, her flowing pale costume spreading across a woodland setting. The expressive figure and rich background give Edward Withers’ composition theatrical movement and a romantic atmosphere. This square vintage lithograph offers a focal point for a dance collection or music room.

Condition

Unused vintage archive sheet, offered unframed. Please examine the original photographs for paper tone, edges, markings and condition. The artist signature, where reproduced, is printed rather than personally hand-signed. The photographs show the actual original lithograph. Faithful photographic cropping, orientation and conservative luminance correction have been applied to separate listing copies; original borders, inscriptions, paper tone and condition are retained. No artwork has been generated or reconstructed. A reflection that obscures original detail cannot be recovered faithfully. The main photograph has an added cream display margin. This added space is not part of the physical sheet; the source photograph clips the outer top and bottom paper edges.

One original vintage lithograph sheet per quantity ordered. Printed signatures are reproduced within the artwork rather than individually hand-signed. No frame is included.
