It is remarkably fragile , and dated 1876. Edwin Longsden exhibited the finished work in 1877 at the Royal Academy. I am both fascinated and bewildered that after extensive research over the past decade I still have not been able to find any black and white copies (etchings/engravings) of this particular painting anywhere on the globe. I was directed to find out if your company would be able to explain this item that I have stored and needs some minor restoration and preservation. I am fully convinced it is the only one in circulation and believe it should be part of a private collection. There is also the possibility that it is a black and white pen and ink study of the painting that was completed in 1876, as it is quite small : 10.5 inches tall and 15 inches wide. It is hard to determine what type of paper it is on and has been attached to a backing that is a different material. Possibly rag, rice, or India paper. I am certain it needs to be reviewed in person, but my hope is from these photos I can get some feedback.  Thank you for any assistance with this I greatly appreciate it!
