Upon researching, a few antique prints available online were framed by this company, but I could not find any more information. It is in it’s original oak frame, but I painted it. The frame has been sanded, painted white and gray, and distressed. It is 34" long, 19" wide, and the frame is 1.5" thick. I also took off the back paper to inspect the print, but the item will come with that piece of paper. I've done extensive research on this item & didn't realize what an incredible find it was... I just fell in love with it because it was so romantic. 

About G.F. Watts: George Frederic Watts (1817 – 1904) was a popular English Victorian painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist and Pre-Raphaelite movements. Watts became famous in his lifetime for his allegorical works, such as Hope, Love, and Life. These paintings were intended to form part of an epic symbolic cycle called the House of Life, in which the emotions and aspirations of life would all be represented in a universal symbolic language. His large allegorical works on universal themes appealed deeply to the Victorians, and he was considered to be the greatest English artist of his age.
