The Village Spring, LeBlond Oval Print
The Village Spring
Villagers gather around a spring in a quiet country setting.
From The LeBlond Book by C. T. Courtney Lewis, 1920
On the right of the picture are a pool and the spring issuing into it from the side of this delightful country lane. A woman with a pitcher is obtaining water; others are waiting to do so, but on this summer day no one is in a hurry. On the left are two other figures resting by the wayside, and down the lane is a cottage, nestling amongst the trees.
V.R. 3.
The print is signed on the bottom left centre.
