Baxter Print Summer, after WE Jones

“Summer” after WE Jones (CL No 365) dated 1860, usually called the “large Summer” and a companion print to “Winter” (CL No 365) called the “large Winter”. The print was originally from 10 blocks and sold for 10s 6d. The warmth of the image is a wonderful contrast to “Winter”, and the evening sun is a common feature of the two pictures. It was printed by Le Blond, but this being on a Stamped Mount is reassuring, and, according to Courtney Lewis, Very Rare. This was in the GE Lambert collection, and the quality is outstanding. Just because items are in a collection does not mean that poor framers don’t get their hands on pictures. This picture was inappropriately glued down, and the effect can be seen on the corners of the mount.
