Skipping

After purchasing the copyright of the present work, the print publisher C.W. Faulkner & Co. of 79 Golden Lane, London, renamed the piece Sunshine of Life. They published it as a large sepia photogravure, and later, circa 1900, licensed it for use as a smaller promotional print for Quaker Oats Porridge which was a smaller sepia photogravure that measured 17 x 10 1/4 in.. The present work was also reproduced as the colour chromolithograph fronticepiece to Our Little Dots Annual, vol. XI, Christmas 1896.

The two models in the present work also sat for Morgan's The Dandy Chair which was exhibited at Institute of Painters in Oils in 1896.
