A milestone in the art of colour printing, George Baxter’s patented process used oil-based, coloured inks to produce engraved prints of extraordinary detail and beauty, totalling an estimated 20,000,000 copies of almost 400 different subjects. These ranged from the religious and sentimental, to portrait prints of public figures and celebrities, British and European architecture and landscapes, as well as scenes from the Crimean War, Australian gold rush, and Crystal Palace exhibitions. No one did more to bring colourful artworks within reach of the humblest householder’s purse, nor leave a more colourful legacy for generations of admiring collectors of Victoriana. This exhibition was interrupted when the Peel library closed for renovations (3 April 2015–21 June 2016). The catalogue for this exhibition is available for sale in person in the Peel library for $15 (cash only, no dealers).
