The watercolors are represented as spring, summer, autumn and winter. They are taken from a very popular English set of prints or engravings that were available in the late eighteenth century from American print dealers in the urban centers. Although undated, they were most likely executed in the 1790's by a young lady. The subject matter is taken from the English engravings but has been expanded by the artist. Accompanying the watercolors are some contemporary newspapers which were in the back of the frames and can be identified as from Carlisle, Pennsylvania in the early nineteenth centiry. They are in fine original condition and retain the original eglomise glasses and cherry frames. CONDITION: Winter on paperboard with losses. Spring and summer with poems on reverse. Unconserved.
Item Dimensions: Each Frame: 16 - 1/2" x 14 - 1/2" x 1".
