Magnolias by Harry Lane | Elegant 1945 Still Life

Magnolias by Harry Lane is an elegant still life lithograph printed in 1945, showing Lane’s flair for transforming graceful blooms into dramatic, vintage color compositions that brighten any classic space.

This striking piece features richly colored magnolia blossoms arching from a green glass vase — but what sets it apart is the quirky figurine of a monkey dressed in a colonial coat, poised beside the vase in playful contrast. This unexpected mid-century detail adds a dash of humor and folk-art charm, making Magnolias a conversation piece for any vintage gallery wall.

Originally printed by Catalda Fine Arts, this floral classic is part of our Harry Lane series — style it alone or pair it with Roses, Primroses, Cyclamen, or Pansies for a timeless wall arrangement with true 1940s appeal. Choose the medium version (19" × 16") for a crisp look, or the large edition (26" × 22") with a soft pink border that frames your wall perfectly with no extra effort.

Each piece is an authentic “new vintage” find — never framed, never displayed, preserved flat since printing and sourced directly from unopened mid-century stock.
