She is standing elegantly in a landscape setting leaning against a pedestal covered with a crimson cloth wearing white, edged with gold. The original was painted, during the winter of 1780/81 according the artist’s sittings’ records, before Frances Woodley, 'one of the most remarkable beauties of the day', married Henry Bankes the younger (1757 - 1834) in 1784. The Gentlemen's Magazine reported: “This lady in 1781 shone at Bath in the first circles of fashion; she drew all eyes and warmed all hearts.” She mothered six children, one of whom was William John Bankes (1786 - 1855), on whom she doted and who rebulit Kingston Lacy between 1835-41. & Dulce Domum or the Return from School, in 1790, Artist: William Redmore Bigg -- The scene depicts a heartwarming reunion as a family eagerly awaits the arrival of their daughter who is returning home from school. The image showcases a picturesque outdoor setting with lush greenery and a charming cottage-style house in the background. A group of people, including women, men, and children, gather at the front door with excitement etched across their faces. The father stands proudly at the forefront while gesturing towards his daughter's imminent arrival. As anticipation fills the air, even their loyal canine companion joins in on the joyous occasion. The artist beautifully captures various emotions - from happiness to curiosity - on each individual's face as they eagerly await this long-awaited homecoming. This enchanting artwork not only portrays a tender moment between family members but also symbolizes themes of education and parenting during that era. It serves as a reminder of how precious reunions were before modern transportation made them more frequent and accessible.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
