1906 Black & White Print by Frederick Morgan: Tug of War

Black and white print called "A Tug of War". It has been cut so part of the words are missing.

The original painting that this etching was based on had the signature bottom left "Fred Morgan"which is visible in the etching.

Frederick Morgan (1856-1927)  was a member of the Royal Society of Painters in Oil,  and was renowned for his beautiful oil paintings of animals and children. The sentimental and romantic Victorian style work which Morgan was also able to produce ensured that he was much in demand by advertisers.

 Dimensions: 16x20 inches

For sale: $150.00 + shipping (We require your zip or postal code to calculate shipping costs)

Under the print on the left side are the words "Supplement to the Family Herald and Weekly Star, Montreal Canada"

On the right bottom are the words "Produced by C. W. Faulkner & Co. Ltd. London En"



The print is not framed and is in fair condition but it would look wonderful in a nice frame and hung on the wall.




 Across the top left is written "Entered according to Act of the Parliament of Canada in the Year 1906 by C. W. Faulkner & Co. Ltd. London England at the Department of Agriculture"

Antique Crayon Portrait: Woman in HIgh-Necked Calico Dress ca 1890s

Beautiful antique crayon portrait of a Woman with glasses and a calico high-necked dress.

Large framed ‘crayon portraits’ were made in the 1800s and early 1900s.
These were artistic photographs that resemble a cross between photographs and charcoal or crayon sketches.  

They can be monochrome or  have charcoal coloring.  This portrait is beautifully coloured.

The photographer began the process with a light photograph and then embellished it with chalk and crayons.

Mostly you will find albumen crayon portraits from the late 1800s.
