'The Forsaken'

'The foresaken', by A. Fox, after T. Harper. This print relates to a story of the same name published in the literary album 'Friendship's Offering' edited by William Henry Harrison. A young lady in a sumptuous low cut gown and hat with a feather sits with her head turned to her right holding a flower up to her breast in her left hand. The walls behind her are bare except from some draped cloth across the left hand side of the picture.

This print is published by the firm Smith, Elder & Co. The brother of Margaret Brodie Herschel (nee Stewart), Peter Stewart worked for Smith, Elder & Co as a printer.
