Charming Victorian-era print titled “The First Step” after artist C. Hillyard Swinstead, engraved by S. Arlent Edwards and published in London in 1885. The scene shows a young girl standing barefoot on stone steps with two dogs, holding flowers and a basket, with a soft countryside background—classic late 19th-century sentimental art. Colors are nicely preserved with light age toning and minor foxing typical for its age; comes in a vintage gold-tone frame under glass, about 24"x30" overall, ready to hang.
