This small photographic print of the Church of the Redeemer, Hagley Road Birmingham is on a page from an 1894 book titled The Making of Birmingham, being a richly illustrated history of the city by Robert Dent. 

The printed area measures 115 x 110 mm approx, and is a photogravure print. The rest of the page has printed text as well as the illustration, I've left the page intact to allow framing to be easier. You may already have a suitable frame with a mat, but the size is quite particular so you may need your local framer to make a mat (ie a thick card sheet with a window with beveled edges). The mat (or frame) is not included in this listing.

I've listed at £5 - or make me an offer.

I have several more prints like this and will list them all over the next few days. I'm happy to post them together and can post flat and very well packed. I'm in Moseley so if it suits, you are welcome to collect from me to save postage or just not to trust to the post! 

My copy of the book was very worn with the bindings loose and the spine missing. Many pages were foxed and last year I replaced it with a copy in much better condition. 

Rather than destroy the old book block, I removed the pages with illustrations and framed some of these for home hanging—I have eight hanging that get circulated seasonally! I decided to put the extra plates on eBay for a low price so that someone with an interest in Birmingham history could benefit.

In the trade, this is called book breaking, sometimes done with a 'healthy' book just to capitalise on the contents, the prints being worth more than the value of the book. That's not quite what has happened here...my book was on its last legs.

I have several more of these pages and will list them all over the next few days. I'm happy to post them together and can post flat and very well packed. I'm in Moseley so if it suits, you are welcome to collect from me to save postage or just not to trust to the post!
