The print depicts a group of young women, beautifully dressed in the typical attire of the mid 19th century. A very strict looking man is monitoring the progress of the women, presumably their school chaperone, present to insure that nothing improper occurs. He holds a stick in his right hand with something dangling from it, possibly a whistle.
This beautiful Homer woodcut engraving is presented in a brown wood frame and a light beige fabric mat with a black inner mat. The print is in excellent condition. The thin white perpendicular lines seen in the print are as issued and are related to the method of creating this woodcut engraving. less
