From The LeBlond Book by C.T. Courtney Lewis:
97. The Cherry Seller. Le Blond, No. 81.
From a painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds. On the left, at the garden gate, is the old cherry-seller, weighing out a ‘half pound’ for two boys, who seem concerned to see they get full measure. On the right, standing at the cottage door, is mother; and seated below her are three children, including the youngest, who seems truly thankful for the fine cherry which she is about to receive. Pussy, caring little for cherries and not hearing her favourite ‘cat’s-meat man,’ continues asleep on the extreme right.SIZE, Width 6 3/4 inches. Length 5 1/4 inches. C. £1 5s.
The print is signed on the bottom centre.
