Prints published in
The Lives of The Fathers, Martyrs and other Principal Saints
by the Rev. Alban Butler (1711-1773). Published by J.S.Virtue & Co. Ltd, about 1890.
Attractive chromo-lithographs with vibrant colours, most having highlights in gold ink. These are not to be confused with the later lithographic 'process colour' prints which do not exhibit the qualities of these chromo-lithographic examples.
(Chromo-lithographs were printed using a number of separate lithographic stones, one for each colour. Complex prints could use up to 20 stones, the print being passed from stone to stone to build up the image. It was an expensive process due to the work involved to create and print each image.)
Size about 16 x 23 cms image area (6.25 x 9 inches), all have good margins and are in good condition, unless noted otherwise. Discounts apply for multiple item orders.
