Vintage “The Soul’s Awakening” Framed Portrait Print
A vintage framed print titled “The Soul’s Awakening,” featuring a finely detailed monochromatic portrait of a young woman holding a book and gazing upward. The dramatic lighting, period clothing, and contemplative pose give the image a romantic Victorian-inspired character.
The lower margin is marked “Supplement to The Family Herald and Weekly Star, Montreal, Can.” and “Produced by C. W. Faulkner & Co. Ltd., London, E.C.” The print is displayed beneath glass in a dark brown wooden frame with raised scrolling decoration and subtle gold-tone accents.
