Fairly close kin to the prints of B. Brammel of Philadelphia, which I'm always on the hunt for, and I thought, especially as we edge toward holiday season, surely some father with a darling daughter might want to gift this to her--or she to him! I like to read it not as him holding those grapes out of reach, but rather as if just getting ready to zoom them toward her like an airplane! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8 3\/4\" x 6 7\/8\" framed. Lovely 19th century walnut frame with original glass, with brass hanging loop. Good antique condition, with a few light scattered toning spots as one would expect and what looks likely to be a clean tear to the paper along left edge (even under magnification it lis a bit hard to distinguish from a pencil mark but I think a tear, perhaps mended from the back.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67658885169406,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_7159_c297e0bd-2000-4eac-acc1-09c21ff2927f.png?v=1790778762","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/papas-darling-c-1850-james-fisher-boston-hand-colored-wood-engraving-in-antique-walnut-frame","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
