Seems like the proper sort of thing a good shepherd(ess) would do to guide and protect the sheep. But what do I know?

There's a similar story behind the flowers of the dogwood tree. <BR/><BR/>Interesting analysis of the print. The Norton Anthology of English Literature states in its Victorian Age volume of work: "Although many Victorians shared a sense of satisfaction in the industrial and political preeminence of England during the period, they also suffered from an anxious sense of something lost, a sense too of being displaced persons in a world made alien by technological changes that had been exploited too quickly for the adaptive powers of the human psyche." (1044) <BR/><BR/>I see subtle similarities in your interpretation of the print as it relates to the angst being felt by the expansion and industrialization of Victorian England.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04005938156720914381noreply@blogger.com
