It was published under the copyright of the Trustees and Guardians of Shakespeare's Birthplace, the organization responsible for preserving the local heritage sites since the 19th century. The printing was handled by The Fine Arts Publishing Co. Ltd. of London, a firm renowned for high-quality artistic and topographical reproductions. Anne Hathaway's Cottage is actually a spacious twelve-roomed farmhouse, known in its day as Hewlands Farm, and remained in the Hathaway family for generations until it was purchased for preservation in 1892. The sharp detail and rich sepias are characteristic of the photogravure process, which was favored by high-end British publishers to provide a more artistic alternative to standard mass-market lithography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis postcard would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove it ♡\u003cbr\u003eGet it ☆\u003cbr\u003eGet Lucky 💋 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Lucky Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46760900460733,"sku":"3402","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/3402.jpg?v=1778437779","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/3402","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
