Also known as

C. W. Arldt

Carl Wilhelm Arldt (1809–1868) was a German draftsman and lithographer associated with nineteenth-century landscape, portrait, and topographical printmaking. Public authority records identify him consistently, while the available biographical source notes that he produced numerous landscape and portrait lithographs during the 1820s through the 1840s. Surviving examples in the source pack include views of castles, villas, historic sites, and scenery around German towns. Some were issued with color, and at least one documented print was lithographed by Arldt after a drawing by another artist. Collectors may therefore encounter his name both as the principal maker of a lithograph and within a divided production credit. His recognizable market context is not a named modern art movement but the nineteenth-century culture of published views and works on paper, in which identifiable buildings, landscapes, and local landmarks were circulated as prints.

Common works and media

Works most plausibly encountered under Arldt's name are nineteenth-century lithographs on paper. The collected examples and biographical excerpt emphasize landscapes, portraits, town and architectural views, castles, villas, cemeteries, and other identifiable sites. Both colored and uncolored impressions may appear. Catalog descriptions may also identify Arldt as the lithographer working from a drawing by another artist, making the complete printed credit important for cataloging and comparison.

Market and appraisal context

An appraisal of an Arldt print should begin by identifying the depicted location, approximate date, printing technique, and the exact role assigned to Arldt. Source metadata shows both uncolored and colored lithographs, as well as a work made after another artist's drawing, so maker credits should not be reduced to a simple authorship label. Publication context, inscriptions, dimensions, physical condition, and whether coloring is contemporary would also need examination on the object itself. The collected public excerpts do not include usable auction results or realized prices, so they support category and attribution research but not a price prediction. Comparable sales should be matched by subject, date, credit structure, medium, and physical characteristics whenever reliable records are available.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Works on paper: lithographs
  • Hand-colored topographical lithographs
  • Architectural and landscape views

Value drivers

  1. The depicted place and its identification as a specific topographical or architectural subject
  2. The work's date and relationship to Arldt's documented production from the 1820s through the 1840s and around 1850
  3. Whether the lithograph is credited wholly to Arldt or records that it was made after another artist's drawing
  4. Whether the impression is presented as hand-colored or uncolored

Appraisal caveats

  • The usable source excerpts do not provide realized prices, dated auction results, edition sizes, or a price trend.
  • Authorship roles should be read carefully because at least one documented lithograph was made by Arldt after another artist's drawing.
  • A physical appraisal would still need to establish the printing process, impression, inscriptions, dimensions, condition, and whether coloring is contemporary; those details are not established by this source pack.
