ORIGINAL ETCHING, W. DENDY SADLER "FOR FIFTY YEARS" 1894

Description: This is a very fine etching (1894), of a painting by Walter Dendy Sadler depicting a courtly elderly gentleman happily offering his arm to his seated wife. His pleasant demeanor is in sharp contrast to her bored, vacant expression. It is titled “For Fifty Years - Old But Gallant” in the center below the image. In the lower left is the publisher's oval embossed stamp. The artist’s signature is printed within the image in the lower left. . There is scripting - very small, on the outside edge of the border of the painting. Lower left is says "Painted by W. Dendy Sadler" Lower Center: "London, Published in 1894 by L.H. Lefèvre, 1 King Street, St. James's S.W. The Proprietor." Right lower corner below the painting scripting reads: "Etched by W. H. Boucher." Top center: "Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1894, in the Office of the Library of Congress at Washington. The British Art Publisher's Union Ltd. New York / 15, East Seventeenth St. Printed in London by J. Brooker & Co.” This original etching is printed on heavy stock and has good margins. It has a wooden back on the frame so I didn't remove it to view the paper- looks original. There is an oval embossing that says “London” in the lower left corner. The matting is on the same paper as the print itself. It is embossed, so there is no additional matting material. The painting portion is 19 7/8 inches wide and x 14 long. The size of the full matt, plus a little for under the frame, is 22 1/2"inches wide by 17 3/4" inches wide. Together with the frame the painting comes to 29 ¼ “ wide by 24 ¾” in length. Frame is made of a hardwood with gold inlay on the front. The multi-layered bevel is 3" inches wide. Frame has a solid wooden backing and looks as though it has never been opened, closed with antique staples. There is a hole in the wood where there was once a knot.
