Antique Print – The Mountaineer with Child – Poole & Garner – c.1870
This finely executed antique steel engraving, titled The Mountaineer, dates to around 1870. It was engraved by T. Garner after a painting by Paul Falconer Poole, A.R.A. (1807–1879), a British painter known for his dramatic historical subjects and evocative genre scenes.
The print depicts a young mountain woman walking barefoot across rocky ground, carrying her child securely on her back in a cloth sling. She holds a walking stick for balance while navigating the rugged terrain. The child looks out curiously from the sling, wearing a simple cap, while the mother gazes intently to the side, suggesting vigilance and resilience. In the background, a dramatic mountain landscape with a waterfall emphasizes the wild setting.
Poole was admired in the mid-nineteenth century for his ability to combine realism with romantic sentiment, and this engraving reflects his gift for capturing both human character and the grandeur of nature. The subject resonates with Victorian ideals of maternal devotion, rural simplicity, and the nobility of everyday life. The engraving medium, with its delicate cross-hatching and tonal gradations, enhances the texture of the cloth, the figure’s skin, and the rugged natural environment.
Produced at a time when illustrated books and fine engravings were highly sought after for both private collections and public institutions, *The Mountaineer* would have appealed to audiences interested in genre scenes with moral or emotional resonance.
Condition summary: Good condition with a clear and strong impression. The paper is clean with only faint toning and a few small specks typical of age. Wide margins remain intact, no tears or repairs noted. Plate mark visible.
Framing tips: This print benefits from a sympathetic frame that underscores its rustic subject. A dark wood frame such as walnut or oak, paired with a soft cream or pale grey mount, will emphasize the engraving’s fine linework. A gilt inner slip may add a touch of period character without overwhelming the simplicity of the composition.
