*Lovers Ramble* is an 1880 color chromolithograph whose imprint names the Cincinnati firm of Wm. M. Donaldson & Co. as its publisher. Chromolithography built up an image from several stone plates, each inked in a different color, which let publishers turn sentimental scenes into affordable prints for middle-class homes. Cincinnati was one of the nation's busiest centers for this trade in the late 1800s, and courtship subjects like this were a staple of parlor walls. The title points to a pastoral, romantic theme typical of the period's popular color prints.
