Antique Archibald Thorburn 'Black Game' Hand-Coloured Photogravure Engraving Print, Framed
Print from the 1800s. Frame circa 1970s.
Small hand-coloured antique tonal black and white print from a photogravure engraving, mounted and framed (vintage), and ready to hang.
Snow-covered outdoor scene with a group of game birds sitting amongst some foliage, rocks and branches, and a couple of birds in the snow to the background. Integral off-white border with credits and title as follows: 'A. Thorburn del., Black Game, Swan Electric Engraving Co.' to bottom border, and printed signature Archibald Thorburn on the picture. The print quality is beautiful, typical of the photogravure process which has the look of a real drawing. Lovely muted colouring.
