• Style/technique: Pictorial print • Manufacturer: Minton Hollins • Pattern number: 1734 • Dimensions: 6" x 6" • Date: circa 1880	From a series of equestrian and hunting scenes a fascinating view of a jockey being weighed. 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. A rare glimpse of technology on a 19thC tile as machines of any description were rarely illustrated, the style of scales will date from pre 1808 when the book was published. 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.
