~The Pleasures Of Retirement~Original Art Print I am offering this up with NO RESERVE so bid early and Don't Miss out on this Fine Piece of art work! I am not an expert on art or prints, but I have been in the antique business for many years, I bought this print years ago just because I loved it, but due to change in decor I am parting with this piece.The following information is what I have found out through researching...This is print of the original painting by George Morland.This specific print was published/reproduced in 1789 by William Ward (Morland's Brother-in-law and printer). ** info obtained in the book "Old English Mezzotints" by Malcom C. Salamon /books?id=7rNWAAAAMAAJ&pg=PR10&lpg=PR10&dq=the+pleasures+of+retirement+william+ward&source=bl&ots=MGsc6bBY0n&sig=Nq-JoE1sVmwQIyQaCicuEjNgcCk&hl=en&ei=fk3DTOyOO4O0lQfc6pUE&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBMQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=the%20pleasures%20of%20retirement%20william%20ward&f=falseCampbell Art Co (see pictures 6 and 7)Is stamped into the left hand corner of this print.Could possible be the ones who framed the print??This print is beautifully Hand Colored.The colors are still so bright and wonderful!As you can see it is wonderfully Framed as well.Frame is made of wood and is carved around the edges I believe that jesso was added to the corners to accentuate them. read more
