Mr. S. Arlent Edwards, the well known contemporary mezzotint engraver and printer in color, has presented to the department two admirable examples of his color-prints: "The Little Princess" after Netscher, and "Mrs. Lloyd" after Reynolds. The gift is particularly welcome as heretofore the collection did not contain a single example of Mr. Edwards' work, nor in fact, any example of a mezzotint printed in colors from one plate, a method which has become particularly associated with Mr. Edwards.Added to this gift is an important loan by Mr. and Mrs. Keith Merrill of twenty-eight prints by the same artist, together with mezzotints in black and white by Dawe, C. Turner, Ward and other well known English mezzotint engravers of the late XVIII and XIX centuries
This is interesting because where I have found two references to this print neither had an image to show.
I found it on here with no image. Maybe you could click at the top and ask someone on this site what you have.

What is written under this beautiful print?
Perhaps this will help...
