Pair of 19th Century Engravings after David Wilkie Paintings
Item Details
A pair of original mid-19th century hand-colored engravings on paper after original oil paintings on canvas by very well-listed Scottish painter David Wilkie (1785 – 1841), titled Blind-Man’s Buff and Distraining for Rent. The prints were engraved by English artist Abraham Raimbach. The first depicts a busy interior room where a blind-folded man waves his arms frantically as figures scramble to get out of his way, and the second depicts a bailiff coming to collect possessions from a poor farming family. The artists’ names and print information are printed to the lower margin of each. The prints are presented without matting or framing, awaiting your choice of presentation.
Condition
- very light denting, creasing, and ripping to margins of both. Light discoloration to upper edge of Distraining for Rent.
Dimensions
- measurement of each.
