About this Item

Approx 5.8 x 13 inches to plate edge and approx 9 x 16 inches with full measurement of the card, arched design, original card with the George Baxter stamp just seen at lower left corner, some foxing to the sky area, colours still good, unframed original card creased and worn at edges, print not creased, would frame well. *One of the most desirable of the Baxter "Oil based ink" process engravings. Each colour overlayed above and alongside the other to build up a colour image with precise letterpress skills by the printer. Dates to 1851-2 the year the Great Exhibition opened. Wiki source: " Despite his technical excellence and the general popularity of his prints, Baxter's business was never profitable ? his process was laborious and it seems likely that his perfectionism prevented him from completing many of his commissioned works on time". He was made bankrupt in 1865. Died in 1867. Seller Inventory # A490

Store Description

We are a small, single-owner business. We have been operating on and off since 1977 and our stock is varied, leaning towards antiquarian and 19th century with the addition of original aquatint and lithographic, or woodcut engravings. Also maps and Ephemera - in fact, anything interesting on paper really. We have in stock every item we list. We do not use stock photographs, but photograph each item individually. We very rarely use "fine" or "mint" as a description, mainly due to the age and the fact that 99.9% of what we sell has been pre-owned and therefor Fine would not be a term for a book we sell despite its fine-like appearance. We always take items back unreservedly if not in the condition as described. We always try to describe fully.
