H/H.. COMMISSIONED FOR THE “PORTFOLIO” BY PHILIP GILBERT HAMERTON. PUBLISHED BY SEELEY & CO. LONDON 1879. A STUNNING HERKOMER ETCHING OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. THE FIGURES THE MAIN THEME OF THE ETCHING. SOFT MOUNTAIN BACKGROUND ENHANCES THE TWO FEMALES SAT ON THE CHALET VERANDA. TWO WOMEN IN THE BAVARIAN MOUNTAINS, ONE AGED THE OTHER YOUNG. YOUNGSTER READING A BOOK TO HELP THE OLD LADY FORGET HER WORRIES. I THINK THE PAPER FAULT HAPPENED DURING THE BINDING OF THE PORTFOLIO. DOES NOT REFLECT ON THE WONDERFUL NATURE OF THE PRINT.
