Early 20th C. Pompeian Beauty Sweetest Story Print - 9x 26. This framed color print, titled The Sweetest Story Ever Told at the bottom center, is a promotional art panel produced for the Pompeian Manufacturing Company, likely dating to circa 1920. The print, a chromolithograph, illustrates a woman in a tiered pink diaphanous gown with a rose embellishment, standing in front of a moonlit window. A large silhouette of a male profile is visible on the wall behind her, suggesting a romantic narrative. The print is housed in a period fluted wooden frame with a distressed gilt finish. The reverse retains its original cardboard backing secured by aged nails.
