Partridges.
Drawn by Amos Green. Engraved by R.d Earlom.
London, Published July 1st 1824 by Z. Sweet, 38 Chancerry Lane.
Fine & Rare chine-collé mezzotint. 405 x 470mm (15¾ x 18½").
A partridge family surrounded by ferns in woodlands. An unusual early example of the chine-collé technique, still using laid paper for the print surface. The image area is larger than the upper paper, so some of the print is on the backing paper. The date of publication is two years after the death of the engraver, Richard Earlom.
