London: William MacKenzie, 1860. Alexander Francis Lydon. First Edition. Print. Very Good Condition. Item #100055

An original 1860 colour print, image 5 x 7.5 inches, from Morris' work A Series of Picturesque Views of Seats of the Noblemen & Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland. A little foxed in the surround, but print unmarked. Ideal for framing. Printed using the coloured woodblock process known as Baxter Printing, by Benjamin Fawcett of Driffield, these bright and attractively coloured prints are often mistaken for chromolithographs. It has been noted that the printing is so subtle that it gives the appearance of a watercolour (Friedman, 1978). Illustrator: Alexander Francis Lydon. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Morris' Seats; Inventory No: 100055.
