Seller's Description
Original 21 inch x 28 1/2 inch Engraving titled PUSS IN BOOTS.
From a painting by John Everett Millais (1829 – 1896). Sir John Everett Millais, 1st Baronet, President of the Royal Academy, was an English painter and illustrator who was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
Printed by Leighton Brothers. The Leighton Brothers firm was established in 1849 by George Cargill Leighton (1826-1895), his brothers, Steven Leighton (1834-1920) and Charles Blair Leighton (1823-1855). Their firm specialized in early engravings printed in color. Experiments in printing wood engravings in colors began about 1850. The two great innovators in this field were Edmund Evans (The printer behind Kate Greenaway and Walter Crane) and George Leighton, who, after forming Leighton Brothers Company produced some of the largest color engravings of the Victorian era. In 1855, the Leighton Brothers printed the first color engraving to be issued in a 'Christmas Supplement' for 'The Illustrated London News'.
From The Illustrated London News Christmas, 1878
The engraving is in very good condition with one vertical fold and one horizontal fold.
