Lot description

This etching in resin is based on an original painting by Erskine Nicol (1825-1904), a renowned Irish-Scots figure painter known for his evocative depictions of everyday life. The work was engraved expressly for Peterson's Magazine by Illman Brothers, a respected firm of 19th-century engravers. Peterson's Magazine, published in Philadelphia from 1842 to 1898, was a widely circulated periodical featuring literature, fashion, and social interests of the time. The artwork is set in a hand-carved octagonal wooden frame, enhancing its vintage charm. A historical and decorative piece for collectors of 19th-century prints, literary memorabilia, and Victorian-era art. Artist: Erskine Nicol (Scottish, 1825-1904) Issued: 20th century Dimensions: 18.25"L x 18.5"H Country of Origin: Scotland
