Framed Print of 'Ring-a-Ring o' Roses' by Jessie Willcox Smith

This item is a professionally framed mid-to-late 20th-century color print of the famous illustration 'Ring-a-Ring o' Roses' by the renowned American artist Jessie Willcox Smith, originally created for 'The Little Mother Goose' (1912). The artwork depicts six children in Edwardian-era attire playing in a grassy meadow filled with white daisies. The physical construction features a decorative gilded wood or composite frame with a beaded inner border and an acanthus-leaf-style outer molding. It is presented with a double-matting system: a thin red inner mat that echoes the dress colors, and a wide sage-green outer mat that complements the meadow scene. The print itself appears to be a high-quality lithographic reproduction. The overall aesthetic is characteristic of the American Golden Age of Illustration. Condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, water damage, or fading of the pigments, though it is viewed through protective glass. The framing reflects modern professional standards, suggesting this is a commercially produced decorator piece rather than an antique original publication plate. The soft pastel color palette and sentimental Victorian-revival style are hallmarks of Smith's popular work.
