The Swing, LeBlond Oval Print
The Swing
Children enjoy a swing amid the trees of a peaceful rural setting.
From The LeBlond Book by C. T. Courtney Lewis, 1920
After a painting by Webster. On the branch of a large tree, in front of a cottage, is fixed a swing; a damsel is in it, and two boys are helping her. Mother sits sewing at the door. Three other children and a dog watch events. In the background is a very enticing landscape. This print varies considerably in quality; some specimens give the idea of the plate being worn.
