About this Item
Hand-colored etching (9 x 5.5 inches). Depicting three captioned sequences from *Jack the Giant Killer*. The sequence of illustrations from left to right are as follows: "Jack rescuing the Knight & his Lady from the Giant," "Jack persuading the Giant to rip open his stomach," and "The Welch Giant trying to break Jack's bones." Though unsigned, they are in the style of George Cruikshank or John Leech, both of whom illustrated this popular English fairy tale. The design and the hand-coloring is also similar to the chapbooks and broadsides published by John Fairburn in the early 19th century. Very good with moderate soiling to the edges and two creases from where the sheet had been folded in thirds. Unique. Seller Inventory # 338536
