This is a beautiful tinted lithograph, George's Hall, Windsor Castle, from Charles Knight’s, Old England: A Pictorial Museum. It was published in two volumes by Samuel Walker & Co., Boston, 1864.
Charles Kight’s books were the first ever to offer color lithograph plates to a popular market. The colored illustrations were large and engagingly unpretentious. They were mostly drawn by T. Scandrett and engraved by S. Sly. (Thomas Scandrett was an architect and draughtsman, born, Worcester, 1797.)
The coloring is quiet in the aquatint tradition. The artist excelled in the handling of soft browns and greys on old stone and woodwork, yet was triumphantly polychromatic in other renderings.
St. George's Hall, Windsor Castle, shows the baroque style of the work carried out for Charles II by architect Hugh May, Painter Antonio Verrio and carver Grinling Gibbons.
Size and Condition
Condition is very good and the colors are beautiful. There is some age toning in the margin areas, mostly along the edges. The paper size is approximately 9 ¾” x 13 ¾” and a copy of the title page is included.
