FROM THE ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Once, in some bright, sequestered, glades, There lived three youthful beauteous Maids, Such friends! They NEVER disagreed- But this was long ago indeed! One day within their myrtle grove, They caught a feeble, wearied Love, Whose drooping wings, like rainbows bright, Produced o'er all a rose-like light. Each fair, enchanted, claimed the prize, Who first made wrath and envy rise: For with the dearest female friends, When once Love comes- all friendship ends! At length they fixed, with. angry speech, The boy should pass a month with each: Prudence, as eldest, claiming power The first to nurse him in her bower.

Please note: the terms used in our auctions for engraving, heliogravure, lithograph, print, plate, photogravure etc. are ALL prints on paper, NOT blocks of steel or wood. "ENGRAVINGS", the term commonly used for these paper prints, were the most common method in the 1700s and 1800s for illustrating old books, and these paper prints or "engravings" were inserted into the book with a tissue guard frontis, usually on much thicker quality rag stock paper, although many were also printed and issued as loose stand alone prints. So this auction is for an antique paper print(s), probably from an old book, of very high quality and usually on very thick rag stock paper. EXTREMELY RARE TO FIND IN THIS EXCELLENT CONDITION!
