Grand Camee de France: Sardonyx cameo Controversial date and figure identification: possibly commissioned under Tiberius, AD Glorifies past, present and future of Julio-Claudian Dynasty. The Great Cameo of France is divided into three plans: in the middle is represented the ruling Imperial family; at the top we see the apotheosis of Augustus - Caesar is posthumously deified; at the bottom the cameo shows the squashed social underworld, the prisoners of war, slaves. This is the most brutal display of power structure: the real world in the center and at the bottom replicates itself as consciousness, a worshiped status quo.This is a Print - Not an Actual Cameo -------- Full Print Size: Approximately 6" X 9" Blank on Reverse Condition: Excellent - Very Good - Good - Fair - Poor (but of historical interest)Only minor handling wear and aging on this near century-old print. << Click Here to See Other Prints >> Important: P/H is combined on multiple items that can be mailed together.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
