Description :
This vintage lithograph illustration by Bernhardt Wall titled “Not A Dutchman” captures a caricatured older man with a toothy grin, pipe in mouth, wooden clogs, and beer stein in hand. The gentleman’s bold stance, bright red vest, and rustic clothes evoke early 20th-century humor and satire, possibly referencing immigrant stereotypes common in American print art during that era. Signed in red by the artist, the work showcases Wall’s hallmark style—strong outlines, lively expression, and witty titling. While the paper shows some wear, including folds and light stains, the artwork remains vibrant and collectible. This piece is ideal for vintage print collectors or décor enthusiasts interested in Americana or historic advertising art.
