Super SUPER Rare (Lithograph?) print from 1985 Ariel Press England. The original (1881) of this hangs in the British museum. Original engraving by Geo H Every and painted by Chas W Nicholls Victorian whimsical mother and son (Paul and Florence Dombey) on the beach. He's in buggy stroller her in Victorian dress. Waves crashing. Wonderful! 'Tis a scene from dickens "Dombey and son" - Paul and Florence Dombey - paul's favorite spot was quite a lonely one, far away from most loungers; And with Florence sitting at his side at work or reading to him, or talking to him, and the wind blowing on his face, and the water coming up among the wheels of his bed, he wanted nothing more. Another time, in the same place, he fell asleep. Awakening suddenly, he listened, started up and sat listening. "Florence asked him what he thought he heard. "'I want to know what it says,' he answered, looking steadily in her face.'The sea. Floy, what is it that keeps on saying?' " she told him that it was only the noise of the rolling waves. "'Yes! Yes! He said. 'But I know that they are always saying something. Always the same thing! What places over there?' He rose up, looking eagerly at the horizon. ''She told him that there was another country opposite, but he said he didn't mean that; he meant farther away farther away." DICKENS "Dombey and Son" 19 x 26 roughly * shipped rolled in tube Not prestine but pretty great. Mild marks and or bends/ creases. Look close at photos to see if it meets your standards. Overall once framed it will be breathtaking in my opinion.
