George Baxter
The Prince of Wales Landing from His Boat

1850

About the Item

Oil lithograph in colors on light card stock, 3 1/2 x 2 7/8 inches (88 x 72 mm), printed to the margins, as issued. Signed and titled in another hand in ink on the mat. The image shows minor toning throughout, however the colors remain fresh. Affixed to the mat at the top edge with a paper tape stamp, as issued. Presented in a lovely burled walnut frame of the period, with the King & Hayman label on the frame back, Bournemouth. These miniature works were initially produced by Baxter for needle box manufacturers with the intention that they would be affixed to the tops of the small, ornate boxes in which women purchased and stored their sewing needles. Baxter intended that the prints would be sold entirely for this purpose, however a new fad sweeping Victorian England opened an entirely new and extremely lucrative market for him; the "parlour scrapbook" rage was flourishing. Baxter, who printed and published the prints himself sold them by the sheet to fancy stationers who would clip them and sell them individually for the new purpose of adorning scrapbooks. Between 1834 and 1860 Baxter produced approximately 400 different print designs.
