How do I care for my framed prints?

Keep paper works out of direct sunlight to prevent the hand-applied watercolours from fading over time. Ensure the glass remains intact and check that the wooden or gilt frames support the weight of the piece securely.

Are these works entirely hand coloured?

The foundational lines are transferred from an inked metal plate using a printing press. Artisans then applied pigments by hand to each individual sheet after printing. This combination of mechanical printing and manual painting gives each piece its unique character.

What periods do these pieces cover?

The available selection spans the 18th and 19th centuries, including Georgian, Regency, and Victorian eras. Later pieces extend into the 1920s and 1930s. Stylistic shifts range from Neoclassical architectural scenes to sporting art and Art Deco compositions.

How are the prints framed?

Most examples appear behind glass within wooden frames, occasionally featuring gilt wood or burr wood veneer. Original or period framing enhances the historical context of the paper artwork.
