This print is making me crazy. From the first time I saw it at the antique mall I knew I had to have it. Since then I have run across it several times and can not find a name for it. I bought it because it reminded me of May Day or Midsummer, and my own back yard when I was a kid .I have included it in a story I'm writing, now I'm obsessed in finding it's name!

Great print!
Thanks I love it. I think I like it better than the color ones. I found out it is dated 1899-1900 Newer than some of my prints, but one of my favorites. I got it because it reminded me of some of my old, Midsummer's Night Dream prints, I wasn't far off I guess, same genre.
Oddly enough, I came across the print yesterday in an antique store and recognized it right away based on this post! Love this site...
Great stuff right?
