Framed Victorian Lithographic Print: Girl and Cat

This item is a framed lithographic print titled 'Shake Hands' (or a similar variation), popularly based on late 19th-century Victorian sentimental genre painting styles, often associated with artists such as Charles Burton Barber. The scene depicts a young girl in a voluminous white dress with blue ribbons, kneeling on a wooden porch to interact with a black kitten that is standing on its hind legs to 'shake hands.' The color palette features soft greens in the garden background, warm wood tones of the porch, and high-contrast whites in the girl's clothing. The print is housed in a substantial, dark-toned wooden frame, possibly walnut or oak with a mahogany stain, featuring complex molding and beaded or roped decorative inner borders. The frame shows visible signs of age, including small nicks, scuffs along the bottom edge, and a light accumulation of dust within the recessed moldings. The print itself shows some minor evidence of age-related toning or foxing, typical for late Victorian or early Edwardian ephemera. The glass appears to be standard non-reflective or antique float glass, though it shows some glare from modern lighting. The composition is characteristic of the romanticized domestic scenes favored during the British Victorian era, likely produced as a mass-market chromolithograph between 1890 and 1910.
