This stunning piece is rendered using the Victorian era steel engraved plates and each piece was individually hand painted. Below the plate is captioned "Mr. Jorrock's enters into Handley Cross". The book housed 16 hand painted steel engraved plates, each unique. Each piece in on thick heavy paper with a cream toned border and a caption along the bottom of the engraving. They would be stunning framed, and would even look great framed as a set of two together! Would make an excellent gift for a horse, dog, or fox hunting lover, or even someone who loves antique hand painted Victorian engravings (some of the scenes depict social gatherings or events)
