An exceptional, authenticated slice of 1920s American design history.
This is a beautiful, true-antique 1920s lithograph print of "Land of Dreams" (1920) by legendary Hudson River School artist Thomas Moran. Far from a modern canvas reproduction, this piece is a preserved period print presented in its stunning, original 1920s ornate gilt frame with a distinctive notched-corner geometric inner border.
Provenanced History & Rarity:
What makes this specific piece a true collector's item is the beautifully preserved, original retailer sticker on the reverse backing: "From Fried's Art & Gift Shop, 1522 Stout St., Denver, Colo." Fried's was a premier early-20th-century Denver art dealer and custom framing workshop. The old-world alphanumeric phone number listed (M. 6465) perfectly timestamps this framing assembly to the mid-to-late 1920s.
