Country Fair": A Framed Early 19th Century Engraving By George Hunt, 1825

Chairish

$375

This is a framed colored engraving entitled "Scene _ Country Fair" by George Hunt, published in London in 1825. It depicts a gathering of people at an early 19th century county fair, presumably in England. A majority of the crowd are turned away, watching a performance on a stage in the background. In the foreground a man is in conversation with a couple. The man wears a top hat and the woman is holding a baby. They are dressed in the typical attire of the middle class at that time. The engraving is presented in a brown wood frame and a double mat, with a cream-colored outer mat and a light cranberry-colored inner mat. The frame measures 13.13" high, 11.5" wide and 0.5" deep. The framing and mounting utilizes acid-free archival materials and it is glazed with UV conservation clear glass. There is some spotting in the lower margin/inscription area along with a thin curvilinear area of discoloration that extends from the inscription area into the lower portion of scene, where it is more faint. The print is otherwise in very good condition.
