George Baxter (1804-1867) was an English artist and printer based in London and is credited with the invention of commercially viable colour printing which he patented in 1835. The process involved using a key plate (of wood or steel) and then superimposing colours from multiple (up to 20) different wood blocks. In the 1850's he printed sets of strips to be cut into individual prints and stuck onto needle boxes. They were also popularly used to adorn Parlour Scrapbooks that were all the rage at the time. Here are five from various sets framed in glass - frame being 23.5cm x 14cm and each needle-box print measuring 5cm x 3cm. In very good condition. Refer images
