Vintage Art in Talio-Crome Etching by Lionel Barrymore. Piece is very old. Art looks just fine. No damage. Art is of Shoreside Farm. Artist was born in 1878. So you can see this Art etching is very old . Not sure of actual age of art piece. Frame is new. I had to re-frame it because the frame it had was too damaged. Had to removed the back that it had, and taped it to the current frame. Frame measures 16" in Length X 13" in Height. The Art work measures 10.5" in Length X 8.5" in Height.
