After a painting by E. H Gould titled ‘The Parting Glance’. This print was produced by George Baxter in 1858 using his patented “The Baxter” process.
Patented in 1835, The Baxter process involved an initial metal keyplate and up to 20 wood or metal blocks applied for each individual colour. Baxter used only the best quality paper and mixed all his own oil inks. To gain perfect registration, alignment of all the blocks, was an art in itself. Apart from the sale of 'Oil Pictures' his prints were used to illustrate books and his 'Cabinet of Paintings' was the first to be published in full colour.
The print is mounted in an ornate gilt frame and set behind traditional hand-blown glass with lots of characterful air bubbles.
Other than a couple of chips to the gesso detailing on the gilt frame, it’s in good condition.
Frame measures 89cm x 72cm
Aperture measures 63cm x 47cm
