Condition: Near Fine. A beautiful evocative print, which was plate 8 in the important color plate book, "The Costumes of Yorkshire". The print is dated 1813, while the book from which it was extracted was published in 1814, but we believe many of the plates in the book were issued in 1813. (Note on the print the date of 1818 was given, but this was a misprint and the 1818 date appears on copies of the 1814 publication as well.) One wouldn't know that this print was from a book, and it is possible it was never bound in the book. 26 by 36.5 cm. Visible, 22 by 32 cm. With matting, 33 by 42 cm. The matting of the print is clearly professionally done and very handsome, with its decorative ruled lines. We would be very comfortable keeping this matting if we were to frame the print for our walls. The print proper has a few small light fox marks. We don't think these in any way compromise the print. The full sheet has a small corner chip completely concealed by the matting.

Condition: Near Fine. A beautiful evocative print, which was plate 8 in the important color plate book, "The Costumes of Yorkshire". The title of the print, "Lowker", is a word of Yorkshire dialect meaning someone who weeds a cornfield, as the assembled group of six farm workers are apparently doing, with what looks like the overseer on horseback in the background. The print is dated 1813, while the book from which it was extracted was published in 1814, but we believe many of the plates in the book were issued in 1813. One wouldn't know that this print was from a book other than its lower edge, hidden from view, shows signs of having been so. 25 by 36.5 cm. Visible, 21 by 32 cm. With matting, 33 by 42 cm. The matting of the print is clearly professionally done and very handsome, with its decorative ruled lines. The matting has a few very faint stains that we ourselves could live with, thus making the print ready to be framed as is. If these marks should bother the owner, they could probably be removed with professional remediation, although one can certainly choose to re-mat before framing. The print proper has a few small light fox marks. We don't think these in any way compromise the print.
