They were often displayed on a nursery wall, or cottage wall, hence their name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis rare and decorative little hand coloured engraving was produced in England during the 19th century, circa 1830. The print is titled ‘The Day Before Marriage’ and features a young lady seated next to a harp and mirror. The engraving is one of a pair, each sold separately. The remaining engraving is titled ‘The Year After Marriage', each retailed individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe engravings feature the themes often found in engravings titled of Courtship and Matrimony. The humorous engravings are tongue in cheek. In courtship we see a young couple in love, in matrimony things have got rather stale!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this example we see a young lady trying on her best clothes in a mirror. In ‘The Year After Marriage’ we see the same young lady only she now has a baby and her head in her hand. The pair were likely published by J. Fairburn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe engraving is housed behind glass in its original stained wood frame. This is the perfect item for anyone who loves all things Georgian!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring: Frame width 3 7\/8 inch (9.5 cm) by height 4 7\/8 inch (12.5 cm).
