[Neurenberg], G. N. Renner & Abel, ca. 1830. Oblong broadsheet of blue wove paper with gilt print (33.8 x 39.2 cm)

Georg Nikolaus Renner (1803-1854) was an innovative paper maker, art dealer and publisher in Nuremberg, Germany, active from 1826 to his death. His firm existed until 1868. This, however, is an early work. Works by Renner are preserved in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and many other major art institutes. Little is known about Abel. He might have been the artist. Uncut, with an even and very strong gilt impression, overall in exceptionally fine condition, which is rarely seen.
