George Baxter (1804-1867) was a pioneer in advancing the art of
colour printing. A perfectionist, Baxter not only engraved but also
examined the prints as they were produced, often providing
touch-ups by hand. Baxter's process was, in the end, uneconomical,
and he died bankrupt, but no one did more to bring vivid artworks
within financial reach of every household, or leave a more
colourful legacy for generations of admiring collectors of
Victoriana. His oil-coloured prints have given viewers pleasure
since they began appearing in the 1830s. Thanks to Donald and
Barbara Cameron's generous donation of their Baxter collection in
2010, the Bruce Peel Special Collections & Archives was able to
mount a remarkable exhibition.
