This is a very special and rare antique print that captures the essence of Victorian embellishment. This is one of the most elaborate, intriguing, Victorian pictures we have seen. The print depicts three little girls dressed in Victorian attire, holding bunnies and flowers in a meadow. There are lovely details throughout the print. The children have captivating expressions and the scene is peaceful and pleasing. The bottom right hand corner of print reads, "Copyright 1890 By W. Hagelberg" (Wolff Hagelberg). The textured matting is very special and fanciful. It is fully embossed in a light blue color with flowers that glitter. The left lower portion of the matting has a large horseshoe that is hand-painted and glittered. Layered over that, are hand-painted daisies that are also glittered. In addition to that, it’s balanced out with daisies in the top right corner. This piece is original to the frame. It is a wood frame in original cream-colored paint and decorative gesso applied in the corners. The glass is original. This piece has a nice original wood backing, cut nails, and original wire hanger. This wonderful picture, frame, and matting are all in excellent original condition. Circa 1890.

***I’ve included below some interesting information about the well-known Publisher, WOLFF HAGELBERG:

Wolff Hagelberg was one of Europe’s leading and largest Fine Art Publishers of Berlin, Germany. He printed some of the most beautiful greeting cards, books, and prints from the mid 1800’s possibly into the early 1900’s. He was most noted for his intricate work in die-cut cards. Hagelberg’s greeting cards often included poetry by E.E. Griffon or M.S. Haycraft.

"The company's array of novelty effects used, including the die-cut HTL process (on which the company held the patent), pull-tab transformations and other mechanical effects, squeakers, printing on silk and on silver, multi-color airbrushing on deep embossing, real hair and other attachments, fancy and fanciful frame designs, etc.

S. Hildesheimer invited him to share judging their 1881 prize competition: ‘We were fortunately enabled to obtain the valuable services of W. Hagelberg of Berlin, a gentleman of great experience, and occupying a foremost position amongst Fine Art Printers to assist in the selection of the designs, thereby securing not only the highest artistic but the best practical judgment for this important trust’."
