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 is one from "The Harem" set, cut out and framed. A small frame measuring 22cm x 16cm, print itself being 11.5cm x 4cm. Frame needs a slight paint touch-up but print in very good condition.
