Stylishly Framed
Original Antique Engraving on Steel
Not a Reproduction
after a Painting by Joseph Beaume
Titled -
The Child Saved
Or
The Newfoundland Dog
Here on offer is a rare engraving probably from the late 1800's which depicts
a beautiful Newfoundland Dog saving a drowning child from a stream with mother
running to scene in background.
In addition to the framed original engraving
the buyer will also receive the two original antique
pages of text which accompanied the engraving
or were adjacent to it in the original publication
these are also shown here.
Despite searching quite extensively I was unable to locate any reference to the
painting itself and it is possible that Beaume only produced an engraving for the 1800s
publication in which this engraving first appeared, it is attributed to bottom left of picture
with the artists name and the "sculpt" or engraver - J. Rogers, to the bottom right.
The publication or book this engraving is from is also quite rare and is titled
"The Gallery Of Fine Arts"
A collection of Popular Pictures, By Eminent British and Foreign
Artists, ancient and modern
Selected from public and private galleries, and fom other sources, with numerous
original designs by celebrated living artists;
Accompanied by Descriptive Illustrations By Various Authors
London, Joseph Robins, Bride Court Fleet Street. Circa 1860-90
Here we show the work framed, the image of the painting itself or engraving size
is as follows;
Paper size - 24 cm W x 19 cm H
Image Size (excluding text below) 16.2 cm W x 12.5 cm H
This depiction of the engraving has been virtually framed, the actual framing upon purchase
takes 7 days, and the frame style matches that shown, there are some frame choices also we can send you
and the framing includes mounting on archival mattes and with glass or high quality non reflective perspex
This is a rare find and a lovelt sharp print, there is a water stain to the plate however this largely does not affect image area
even though it can be seen from the rear and up to the left hand edge of the engraving from the front, as can be seen
the engraving and printing quality is of a very high standard.
Other works shown here are by Beaume, the item for sale is the engraving titled "The Child Saved"
