A beautiful lithograph by Francis Bedford (1824-1913), copied from his own photographs taken at the museum at Marlborough House in 1853. Bedford began working as a lithographer in the 1840s, before he took up photography. From about 1850, he was employed by Day & Son, 'lithographers to the Queen', and worked on some of the most important illustrated art books of the nineteenth century.

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.
