One of the first pages I ever wrote for my website, 20+ years ago, was my Fakes & Forgeries page. It has always proved very popular and hopefully people keep coming back to refer to it. It has just undergone another update with more examples added including details of one of the actual embossers the fakers used in the early 1900's. DON'T BE PUT OFF, with an occasional read you won't get caught out (that often)

When Le Blond prints are found with their rare blue labels on the back of the mount they state 'Printed in Oil Colors'.
Did they do this for the American market? 

So is it Color or Colour?

 
An interesting recent aquisition, one of Joseph Mansell's original steel printing plates for a set of his Needle Box prints.
 
Read about the plate and the prints

I am always updating information and adding better images to the website so if you have read an article once please don't assume it hasn't changed. One of the major benefits of publishing my research online is that it is so easy, to add or amend information. 
 
One important update was that I have recently discovered that the plates and blocks were NOT actually sold at Baxter's 1860 auction changing what has been commonly (mis)understood for the last 100 years.

Read the important update to Baxter's Auction sale...

I have just updated one article on Dickes' Farringdon Road address after I found the original source for the advert that was shown in Docker's 1928 book.  

Found out the source...

In the last newsletter there was an article about a very rare advertising poster for one of Baxter's travelling sales.
 
At the bottom of the article I posed a question  - a little quiz - did you get it correct?

Find out the answer here

 
Don't recognise this image?
It is Sir David Scott. Baxter published a Mezzotint of this in 1836 and, quite possibly, it is the RAREST Baxter print of them all

 Was Baxter's 'Gems of the Crystal Palace No 1' painted by Buckley?
More importantly was the painting credited to Buckley of The Great Exhibition (1851) actually sketched by Baxter?

It looks like, after 10 years, we are on the move again, not far away this time but without the 6 acres of land to look after - so more time for researching, my collection and selling my duplicate prints, which run into the thousands!
As - I WOULD RATHER SELL THEM THAN MOVE THEM - please let me know if you are looking for anything particular. There are currently 250 items on the site BUT I have over 2000 items in my stock, some waiting 20 years to get on the site so there is plenty more that you wouldn't have seen yet
Also there has been REDUCTION ON MOST LISTINGS currently on the site, so well worth taking another look
