As a new art form, it was affordable for the masses and provided a means to share visual information by crossing the barriers of race, class, and language. Sentimental prints encouraged the artistic endeavors of schoolgirls and promoted the ambitions of amateur artists, while serving as both moral instruction and home or business decoration. They are a pictorial record of our romanticized past."}, {"label": "Description", "content": "This colored print is a rustic outdoor scene of man and woman seated and cuddling in a romantic, intimate pose. The man is dressed in knee socks, tight knee britches, short jacket, shirt, ascot and beret. The woman wears a long dress, plaid shawl, ribbon and bow in hair. A women's hat lies at their feet. The title and prose refer to a longer popular poem by Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-1796) entitled <I>Highland Mary</I>. A similar image was created a year after this print by Currier & Ives and colored by Sarony & Major."}, {"label": "Description", "content": "The print was produced by Sarony & Major. Napoleon Sarony (1821\u00e2\u0080\u00931896) was born in Quebec and trained under several lithography firms including Currier & Ives and H.R. Robinson. Sarony was also known for his successful experiments in early photography, eventually developing a cabinet-sized camera. In 1846, Sarony partnered with another former apprentice of Nathaniel Currier, Henry B. Major and created Sarony & Major Lithography firm. Joseph F. Knapp joined the firm in 1857. Sarony, Major & Knapp earned a solid reputation for lithography and the company was especially known for its fine art chromolithography. Unfortunately, by the 1870s, the firm shifted focus to the more profitable area of advertising. It also expanded to become the conglomerate known as the American Lithographic Company, successfully producing calendars, advertising cards, and posters. In 1930 they were bought out by Consolidated Graphics."}, {"label": "Location", "content": "Currently not on view"}], "creditLine": [{"label": "Credit Line", "content": "Harry T.
