Original lithographic advertising design proof. Unattributed, though most likely designed by Ben Johnson & Company of York or George McCorquodale of Leeds, as this came to us as part of a portfolio of works by both printers. Single sided print. Measures approx. 8" x 5.5" (20.5cm x 14cm). Undated, though circa 1890.
Tanning and occasional relatively light rubbing; with small residue to rear extremities where it has been fixed down at some point. Remains an interesting original survivor nonetheless. Please see photos for further detail, and check out our other listings for other early proofs and original works, to include hand-painted examples.
As it is sometimes difficult to properly judge the look and condition of an item from the description and photos alone, please feel free to bid knowing that you can return the item post free if you are not entirely pleased with your purchase.
Combined shipping available at cost.
