Q:What can you tell me about an old black and white framed print of three women in classical dress standing with their arms draped around each other. The print is 28 by 20 inches. The lower portion of the picture is marked, "published only by the National Art Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, premium edition." I know it's at least 50 years old. A:Your print was given away as a premium to newspaper subscribers more than 100 years ago. An ad in an 1876 edition of the American Agriculturalist offers the print free to subscribers. The print is titled "Three Graces," with the figures representing Faith, Hope and Charity. The National Art Co. of Cincinnati also printed postcards that are collectible today. |
