English Folk Watercolor, Ulswater Cumberland, Period Frame","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn early 19th-century English amateur watercolor of Ullswater, the Lake District lake in historic Cumberland, hand-lettered \"ULSWATER CUMBERLAND\" across the lower image. The view follows the Picturesque convention of the Lake District tourism boom: a sailboat, two small figures in period costume on a foreground promontory, a crag at right, and blue mountains with a small ruin beyond. The handling is amateur, in the schoolgirl watercolor tradition of the period, likely copied from a published topographical print. The period spelling \"Ulswater\" was current c.1790-1830, consistent with an early-19th-century date. Watercolor in a period black and gilt frame, 10 x 12 in. framed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWatercolor sound on its paper support. Heavy foxing throughout the sky and lighter passages — age-honest but visible. Paper browned with age toning. Image and composition fully legible; hand-lettered title intact. Period stained wood frame in fair condition with edge wear, finish loss, and old verso paper backing torn at edges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valley House Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67599101296793,"sku":"VHA-0015","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/1270\/1593\/files\/VHA_ulswater_cream.jpg?v=1791465257","url":"https:\/\/valleyhouseantiques.com\/products\/early-19th-c-english-folk-watercolor-ulswater-cumberland-period-frame","provider":"Valley House Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
