ADMIRAL LORD NELSON and the DUKE OF WELLINGTON: fine Baxter Prints.

Excellent condition. About 7.5ins square (21 x 19.5cms). c1845-60 **NB: These are both glazed pictures; the images are perfect ~ apologies for the slight reflections in the glass!)

** George Baxter (1804-1867) patented a process of colour printing in 1835.  This process made up his life’s work, producing many illustrations for books and stand-alone prints. The quality of his prints reflects the techniques he invented and refined, whilst the subject matter reflected much that was noteworthy in Victorian life.
