Hi all I picked this up today, an antique print or lithograph not sure which, the frame is beautiful heavy, can anyone tell me which print or lithograph, and how old, I googled and found early 1900s but not sure if that’s right.
Wonderful print and that frame is outstanding!!
Bitsnbobs123.a, Google Lens says it's probably a circa 1900 chromolithograph of G. C. Hindley's "Cornered" (there are a lot of copies of this particular work out there, but nobody has pinned it down closer than circa 1900):

Some fun trivia about "Cornered":

A large copy of this painting hangs on the wall of the Edinburgh Chess Club.
We have on some evenings re-created the position in the painting on the board
We still debate if the piece on g1 is a White Rook or a White Bishop
