By means of superbly made wood blocks, all carrying different tints and in perfect register, together with oil based colours, Baxter produced coloured prints of the highest quality. This comprehensive book, the first to be written since the 1930s on Baxter prints, shows for the first time virtually all known prints with the exception of some minor book illustrations.
A glance through the illustrations shows that Baxter was a faithful chronicler of early Victorian life as well as an artist craftsman of an extraordinarily high ability. His prints are an ideal subject for the collector and, as interest has only recently been reawakened in Baxter prints, prices are in many cases still very modest.
George Baxter's constant search for technical improvement in his art and his insistence on quality at all costs led him into constant financial difficulties. He borrowed heavily from his family and in 1865 was adjudged bankrupt. He died as a result of an omnibus accident in 1867.
Baxter had imitators, and after his death Le Blond, in particular, carried on his method of printing. Baxter's works remain as outstanding examples of craftsmanship which it is a joy to own.

Terms of sale
Prices are in pounds sterling and all payment is through ABE.
All books remain the property of the seller until payment has been received.
I try and describe all books accurately, but if you decide that a book is not as described, please contact me so that we can arrange for it to be returned to me at my expense or other options considered.
ABE's systems automatically assume that books bearing the words inscribed or signed in the description are signed by the author. This is not the case. Only books described as signed by the author are signed by the author. Other uses of the words signed or inscribed are used to denote signed or inscribed by another person - eg ownership inscriptions etc.
ABE's systems automatically assume that mention of a dustjacket indicates that a book is hardback. This is not the case - there are paperback books issued with dustjackets.
If local taxes or duties are chargeable and are not paid by ABE, the buyer will be responsible for paying these.
I cannot be held responsible when ABE's systems incorrectly alter my descriptions.
I send out regular email catalogues - please let me know if you wish to receive these.
