British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph

Gainsborough: The Market Cart

Corner stain; Age toning & some foxing but highly detailed steel engraving

with BONUS descriptive page (not shown)

 Engraved By W. Taylor from original work by Thomas Gainsborough

The market cart is laden with fresh produce. On the right is a woodcutter, a favourite motif of Gainsborough's, but the composition is dominated by the grandeur of the trees.

This is one of Gainsborough's last landscapes. It was first exhibited in the artist's house in Pall Mall in 1786, the same year it was painted. Gainsborough added the figure of the woodman gathering faggots the following year. From painting in 1786.


from The National Gallery of Pictures by the Great Masters

Moderate age toning, handling wear and some foxing, but with high detail and contrast

The Nature of Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the print itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
