Antique Print, Robert Browning, How they Brought the Good News... 1892 Romance Fiction Art (AR-A393)
Here is an antique lithograph reproduction of "A Messenger of Good Tidings: News of Relief of Florence 1496" by Frank William Warwick Topham. It depicts a scene titled "How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix." The artwork shows a messenger on horseback delivering news to a group of people gathered in what appears to be a town square or street. The people are reacting to the news with a mix of emotions, some with relief and joy, while others seem more subdued. The buildings in the background suggest the medieval or Renaissance period.
CONDITION - There are clearly some water ripples on the paper as well as some discoloration.
Also included is the tissue paper covering with a brief description of the scene.
This is an original, not a reproduction. It came from a destroyed 1st edition book published in 1892 by Selmar Hess called Character Sketches of Romance Fiction and Drama. There is some damage, aging to the bound side of the print. All prints are either wood engravings, etchings, photogravure, or typogravure.
Approx Size - 11.5"x 9"
Great for framing, assemblage, collage art, scrapbooking, college or school reports, research
