Pair of Antique, Collectable Victorian Prints by Charles Burton Barber & Briton Riviere

Step back into the sentimental world of Victorian Britain with this charming pair of antique prints, beautifully framed behind glass. Each piece offers a heartwarming glimpse into domestic life, rendered by artists celebrated for their ability to portray the unique bond between children and their canine companions, all within the timeless appeal of the Victorian era.

The first print, titled "Puppy Love", is by Charles Burton Barber (1836-1893), an English artist renowned for his captivating and often sentimental paintings of children and their pets. The second, "Naughty Boy!", is by Briton Riviere (1840-1920), a British artist celebrated for his dramatic and narrative animal studies. These prints, each measuring approximately 14.5cm X 19.5cm, are set within attractive wooden frames that measure 21cm X 26.5cm.

Both prints are in very good antique condition, showing only slight fading of colours, a common and natural occurrence due to their age and historical exposure to light, which simply adds to their vintage character. Importantly, there is no foxing or water damage to detract from their charm. The wooden frames are in good condition with no damage, though some signs of wear are visible on the backs, consistent with their age. Please note that the buyer would need to add their preferred hardware for hanging. These framed prints offer a nostalgic touch, perfect for any dog lover, collector of Victorian art, or anyone looking to add classic charm to their home in South Africa.
