A wonderfully atmospheric framed print depicting a richly toned shelf of antique red-bound volumes, their worn labels and time-softened leather evoking the quiet romance of old libraries and scholarly interiors. The deep oxblood hues and painterly detail give this piece a timeless, traditional feel — perfect for studies, reading corners, libraries, or any space that celebrates the beauty of books and history.
The artwork is signed Annie P. Firth and produced by Manuscript Limited, England (Series 2294C), a publisher known for high-quality decorative prints inspired by heritage interiors and classic English themes. The long, panoramic format makes it especially effective displayed above shelving, desks, or sideboards, where it creates the illusion of an extended library.
Set within a distressed cream wooden frame and ready to hang, this is an elegant decorative piece that brings warmth, character, and a scholarly charm to any interior.
