From the Captain's Log

I picked this up right here in Chicago, and it's a real gem from the 1800s. It's a French print, and the colors just pop—truly incredible. It's got a signature on it, too, which adds a nice touch.

Name the most you'd pay. We bid for you, just enough to stay in front, like eBay. Nobody sees your max, not even Captain Nemo.

How the bidding works (the short version of the Articles)
  • The first bid starts a 7-day clock. When it hits zero, the top bidder wins.
  • Enter your max. The price only climbs as far as needed to keep you in front, so you may win for less.
  • Each bid has to beat the price by a small step. Ties go to whoever bid first.
  • Some pieces carry a reserve, a minimum price kept secret. If bidding ends below it, the piece doesn't sell. The box tells you if it's met.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes resets the clock to 5 minutes. No sniping.
  • Win, and we email a pay link. You have 3 days to pay. Pickup is at the South Loop dock.
  • A bid is a promise to buy. Please bid only if you mean it.

Description

A colour print depicting a top-hatted rider on a dark horse, set against a backdrop of yellow townhouses. The scene includes a cart and strollers, adding a sense of movement and life. Beneath the image lies a pencil caption and signature, all set within wide paper margins. The piece hails from 19th-century France, a time when even the horsemen had a certain je ne sais quoi.
