Framed Print of 'The Country Store' by Thomas Waterman Wood

This item is a framed reproduction print of the 1872 genre painting 'The Country Store' by American artist Thomas Waterman Wood. The scene depicts a bustling 19th-century general store interior with figures in period attire, including a shopkeeper behind a counter, a mother with children, and several men in rural clothing. The artwork is presented in a multi-layered framing system: a wide, ornate gold-gilded outer frame with a scalloped or 'gadrooned' edge texture, followed by a fabric-covered linen liner in a neutral oatmeal color. The overall construction suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century mass-market reproduction rather than a period original. The print surface appears to have a slight matte or semi-gloss finish, possibly a textured lithograph or canvas transfer. Regarding condition, there is visible light glare on the lower left of the print surface, and the gold finish on the frame shows minor age-related wear but remains largely intact. No artist signature is clearly visible in the provided image, though the style is definitively that of Wood's Vermont-based genre scenes. The craftsmanship of the frame is commercial in grade, featuring mitered corners and molded composite details beneath the gilding.
