British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph

"The White Cockade" Engraving by Greatbach after R.A. Hillingford - 1870

This over-sized (10" X 14") steel-engraved print is from a collection of engravings

featuring the works of Distinguished British painters through the ages.

The collection has beautifully detailed images BUT with foxing that ranges from

VERY MILD (Grade 5) to HEAVY (Grade 1) and priced accordingly.

I am offering engravings from this collection for their stunning engraved images.

A descriptive page is included.

THIS ENGRAVING

Grade 1 - Heavy Foxing

TITLE: The White Cockade -

flanked by two dogs and dead bird, victim to the falcon

ENGRAVER:  Greatbach

ARTIST:  R. A. Hillingford - Mr. Hillingford is an Englishman, not a Scotchman; were he the latter, we might be disposed to think he had a strong national sympathy with the fallen dynasty of the Stuarts, and those who were out "in the '45" on the side of the Pretender; for he has painted several pictures illustrating some of the events connected with the insane attempt to dethrone the house of Hanover: of these we shall find opportunity of speaking at another time, as we are arranging to include this painter in the series of " British Artists." A white cockade was regarded as a badge of partisanship in favor of the Pretender, just as the white and the red rose distinctively marked the adherents of the York and Lancaster parties in the old civil wars of English history. When Prince Charles Edward entered Edinburgh the Jacobite ladies welcomed him by waving white kerchiefs from the windows of their houses, and white cockades were distributed plentifully among his followers: these cockades were made by the fair hands of those who desired the success of him and his cause.

The Nature of Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the print itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.).  While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
