Ask about licensing or this print

Registered under the copyright deposit number D13891 and titled simply "Retreat," this print carries little more than a date of about 1878 and a possible association with a name, J.F. Ryder, noted on an old shelflist card whose details have not been verified. Copyright deposits from the 1870s were submitted to the Library of Congress to secure legal protection for new works, so the print was likely made for wide circulation. Its title suggests a scene of withdrawal, whether military, social, or pictorial, though the record does not say which.
