Large Framed Engraving – The Sabbath Breakers After J. C. Dollman, 1896

19th century
Description

A large and impressive late 19th century engraved print entitled “The Sabbath Breakers”, after the celebrated 1896 painting by J. C. Dollman. The scene depicts an early game of golf being played upon a windswept links course, with two golfers interrupted by sternly dressed observers, creating one of the most recognisable and humorous golfing images of the Victorian period.

Beautifully engraved with exceptional tonal detail, the composition captures the texture of the landscape, the characterful expressions of the figures, and the period golfing attire with remarkable clarity. The title appears within the lower margin together with the explanatory inscription, while the engraving is presented behind a wide mount and housed in a substantial quarter-sawn oak frame with gilt slip and decorative moulded inner border.

Combining sporting history, Victorian social commentary and decorative appeal, this is an excellent piece for a study, library, golf club or country house interior.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Victorian narrative engravings depict storytelling scenes from everyday life, history, or social commentary. Produced via steel plate etching or photogravure techniques in the late nineteenth century, these prints brought narrative fine art into domestic interiors.

Prints from this era were commonly mounted behind glass using acid-free or pulp-board mounts and framed in solid hardwoods such as quarter-sawn oak or mahogany. A narrow gilt inner slip moulding was frequently used to create visual separation between the mount and timber frame.

Authentic prints feature plate impressions or visible dot/hatch patterns characteristic of photogravure or line etching under magnification. Original publisher details, artist signatures, and dates are typically printed along the lower margin beneath the main image.

Large monochrome prints complement traditional studies, libraries, and hallways. The combination of warm oak timber and neutral monochrome tones allows them to anchor wood-panelled walls or provide historic contrast against contemporary paint palettes.

Hang artwork away from direct sunlight and damp conditions to prevent paper foxing and frame warping. Clean glass surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid sprays near the timber edge or paper mount.
