Descripción

A small smooth arts & crafts period leather album holding 20 mounted lozenge shaped George Baxter, "Needle Box" prints (for needle boxes begun in 1850, we believe), the leather is rubbed at edges and small part of the clasp, the catch, which is hand beaten and probably silver. The prints are mounted, two to a page and have a printed label tipped in at the back that explains what they are and their historical context in the world of printing techniques. A unique item we believe. 4 x 3.5 inches, prints 1 x 2 inches. NOTE: *Baxter perfected the full colour print in about 1839-40, his technique was expensive, laborious, but more importantly, the first colour print process. It was a short lived process that has never been surpassed *Identifiable scenes are Paxton's Crystal Palace in Hyde Park c1851, Queen Victoria and Albert (about 6-8 with Royal interest) The SS Great Britain (Brunel) + Balmoral, Windsor, India, Venice, rural scenes, etc. N° de ref. del artículo 8113
