Sunday Morning, LeBlond Oval Print
Sunday Morning
A quiet Sunday morning scene capturing the rhythms of rural village life.
From The LeBlond Book by C. T. Courtney Lewis, 1920
This and No. 113 are the only two upright ovals. The village church is seen down the path, and to it are wending their way various members of the good pastor’s flock, who smile when a sabbath appears, and put on their Sunday best. In the foreground, we see the village preacher with his walking-stick; but where his modest mansion stands we are not shown. On the right are some fine trees. The print makes a nice companion to No. 113.
The print is signed on the bottom right.
