The Leisure Hour, LeBlond Oval Print
The Leisure Hour
A peaceful rural scene devoted to a quiet interval of rest and recreation.
From The LeBlond Book by C. T. Courtney Lewis, 1920
As it is the last of the series, the producer had, perhaps, in mind a period of repose; but it is a fisherman who is enjoying, in the picture, an hour of cessation from toil. His boat is on the shore, and he stands beside it, watching his children float a model barque on an improvised sea. Their cottage is on the extreme right, and his tackle is on the beach. Makes a good companion to No. 106.
SIZE, WIDTH 6 3/4 INCHES.
LENGTH 5 1/4 INCHES.
M.R. £1 15s.
The print is signed on the bottom centre.
