Antique Howard Chandler Christy Illustration from The Princess - 1911

Based on label on back of this framed piece this is an antique book illustration that was framed for its art value for potential future sale from an antique book. The print illustrator is Howard Chandler Christy and it is from the book "The Princess" by Alfred Lord Tennyson. It appears to show a woman at the bedside of a figure. I didn't do any other research on this to know if it is a main character, but I have to assume that a detailed illustration is depicting a major scene of the book. This was part of an auction lot with hundreds of vintage and antique advertisements, book plate illustrations, and Art gallery book prints. The frame looks handmade and as I go through some of these one's that are in poly bags I am finding receipts from the guy that would make frames for them. Size: Frame 9.25 by 12.5, Visible print is 7 by 9.5 with a natural matting from the page.
