Featured in this lot is this antique pencil etching presented and copyrighted by Radtke Lauchner & Co in 1891. The etching has an indecipherable artist signature in the bottom right hand corner with a grasshopper hallmark in the bottom middle of the etching. The etching shows two women on a path in the middle of the scene. One is standing in the middle of the path while the other is bent down on the side picking a flower or plant. The scene shows a house in the middle background and a barn structure on the left in the background. The property is surrounded by large bushes and trees with a dock and lake on the right hand side of the etching. A boat is tied up and docked. The etching shows wonderful attention to detail throughout the piece. The top right of the etching reads, "Copyrighted by Radtke, Lauckner & Co. N. Y. 1891". The etching is in fair condition for its age showing some tears throughout the edges of the paper, some slight staining in some spots and wear to the corners. The etching measures 21 1/4" L x 31 1/2" W.
