looking for some info on a print - "A Faithful Guardian"

Tomsmith · March 24th, 2011, 07:48 PM

This print is entitled " A FAITHFUL GUARDIAN"
It is what looks like an old litho of a girl sitting in the grass with a hound dog maybe. I cann't find a signature.

I HAVE A PRINT THAT SAYS "THE FAITHFUL GUARDIAN" OR "HER FAITHFUL GUARDIAN" IT IS OF WHAT LOOKS TO BE A SMALL GIRL IN A WHITE LONG DRESS AND A BONNET LAYING ON A MASTIFF THAT IS BROWN OR BRINDAL COLORED
I CANNOT FIND ANY INFO ON IT OR EVEN A PICTURE OF IT ANYWHERE

HAVE YOU EVER FOUND ANYTHING ON IT? MY EMAIL IS yuppiepuppie.1@att.net

Seems to be alot of prints witth the same or almost the same title. This print looks to be mid to late 1800's. I can't seem to upload the picture from my desk top. All the prints I seem to find online are painted.

It is probably a print of the Heywood Hardy painting "Best Friends"

That is the same picture. But under the picture in the center it say A FAITHFUL GUARDIAN.

SO is the one I have worth anything?
And thank you for your help

In my experience, reproductions of paintings aren't usually of great value. You could take a look at eBay to get an idea what similar prints sell for. I don't see this exact work right now, but there are plenty of other listings for Heywood Hardy.

Yes that's the same, But this is a litho of the same picture, around the picture you can see where the press marks are on the paper.
