Lot Details

Note: George Baxter (1804–67) is one of the few printmakers who have given their name to a printmaking technique. His patented process combined intaglio and relief printing methods. The foundation plate, which printed the main features of the design, was etched, stipple engraved or, more usually, aquatinted. Oil colours superimposed from wood blocks gave the resulting prints a richness of colour that earlier attempts at full colour printing lacked. The Baxter process was later overtaken by colour lithography as a method of printing in colour. Provenance: From the collection of Gerry and Valerie Bermel (of Travis Antiques, Wellington 1950's to 1986).
