This is a sweet pair of antique prints. One is of a lovely Victorian girl with a big bonnet and a beautiful angelic face. The other is of an adorable Victorian boy with curly golden locks of hair and a charming smile. They look to be brother and sister. These are wonderful Victorian prints hand-signed in pencil by the famous listed artist, Ida Waugh (1819-1919). The matting around the prints is deep with highlighted beveled edges. The original frames are wood, painted bone-white with applied, decorative gold gesso. They have original wood backs with original glass and wire hangers. These charming antique Victorian prints are in excellent original condition with age-appropriate wear to the frames. Circa 1900.
*** I’ve included below some interesting information about the famous listed artist, IDA WAUGH:
Ida Waugh was born in Philadelphia and trained at home by her painter-father Samuel B. Waugh (her mother may have also been a painter), at the Pennsylvania Academy, and at the Academie Julian in Paris. Her work has almost disappeared, but was often on religious-allegorical themes or scenes of Dutch life. Her illustrated children's books were produced with her lifelong companion Amy Blanchard who owned a neighboring summer cottage in Maine. Waugh's half-brother was the well-known marine painter Frederick Judd Waugh.
