• Style/technique: Pictorial print • Manufacturer: Minton Hollins • Pattern number: 1728 • Dimensions: 6" x 6" • Date: circa 1880	From a series of equestrian and hunting scenes a super view of a pair of horses jumping a fence whilst riding across country. An uncommon series of twelve in part based upon drawings in the art book Microcosm by W H Pyne and presumed to have been engraved by W P Simpson but initials apparently 'MY' appear have been noted on one example. This not an example from the book those of which feature horses at gallop show the rather unrealistic strides of horse painting at the time whereas this is a well proportioned and sensitively engraved work of art. Verso fully marked as usual for Minton Hollins.
The image is full size at 72 dpi (about 430 pixels wide) in maximum quality JPEG format and on screen is about the size as it would be in real life at the same distance. A larger 120 dpi image also in maximum quality JPEG format can be forwarded by email if required. The image is a little oversize rather than cropped close to the edges so that the edges can easily be seen and any chips etc can be quickly spotted. Other marks described are usually not visible at all when the tile is viewed straight as one normally sees it and can only be seen with a critical eye when the tile is tilted to catch imperfections in reflected light. For more details of how we describe marks see Condition.
