Antique print titled 'How pleasant it is to have money' made after H. Fisher. Originates from 'Thirty favorite paintings by leading American artists' published by P.F. Collier & Sons.

The original antique print shows a seated figure labeled "Muger plebeia," which translates from Spanish to "Plebeian Woman" or "Common Woman." The woman is dressed in a simple yet elegant manner, indicative of the common people of the time. She is wearing a long dress in a pinkish hue with a red overdress or tunic, which drapes gracefully around her. On her head, she wears a blue hood that covers her hair, which was typical for women during various historical periods to denote modesty or as a fashion statement. Her seated position and the presence of the cane suggest rest or perhaps age. The simplicity of her clothing, without elaborate jewelry or adornments, signifies her status as part of the lower social class, although her clothing is neat and well-kept. Egg whites can be applied as a varnish over pigments to enhance their brightness and to protect the colors. This application could make the colors appear more vivid and also add a slight glossy sheen to the surface of the image. Egg yolk, on the other hand, was commonly used as a binding agent in paint. It forms the basis of tempera paint, a medium that was widely used before the advent of oil painting. Egg yolk helps to create a durable and long-lasting color that adheres well to various surfaces. In the context of the print from 1847, it's less likely that egg whites or yolks were used directly on the print, as by that time, commercial printing processes would have been more advanced and less reliant on such manual methods. However, if this print is a representation of an earlier style or is meant to mimic the appearance of hand-painted manuscripts...
