Collectibles : Paintings, Prints : Paper : Holiday, Seasonal

 

This Victorian, bookplate print depicts an 18th-Century, seasonal scene of an arrival at a grand house. A horse-drawn carriage and children on ponies are being welcomed by people in fancy, period dress. A black footman attends to the visiting girl and boys in this evocative and nostalgic illustration. There is a decorative border of illustrated mistletoe, top and bottom.

This artist-signed, black & white plate bears the names of Birch and Wolf and is from the 1886 Christmas Number of St. Nicholas magazine. It is printed on glossy paper and is blank on reverse.

This charming, vintage print measures 9 1/2" x 7" (approx.) including margins; the image area dimensions are 6 3/4" x 5 1/2" (approx.). It is in very good condition with little of the attendant signs of age and wear and is eminently suitable for framing.

Canada/USA Postage & Packing is $3.50 USD (Elsewhere to be determined). Multiple items purchased from SHARP OBJECTS may be combined for shipping purposes.
