Description

Wallcraft in the lower right hand corner. The plate depicts a charming rural English scene of Wick Cottage in Wiltshire, England framed by two tall leafy trees.

Background and History

The plate's picture is inspired by a painting by Helen Allingham of Wick Cottage circa 1900. Wick cottage in Wiltshire was destroyed by fire in the 1960s, so this portrayal of the Cottage is an important record of how it looked.
