"Fores's Series" Hunting and Sporting Prints

Original hand coloured lithographs from 1863 "Fores's Series" featuring the
designs and lithographs of famed sporting artist H.K. Browne, AKA "Phiz."

The sheet size of these beautiful 160-year-old prints is approx. 19 inches wide by 13 1/4 inches high.
(Image area approximately 15 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches.)
Printed on heavy weight stock, blank verso.

Due to the 160+-year age and type of paper these wonderful lithographs were printed on,
there is some foxing present on several of the plates. Please examine enlargements for the extent of any age-related symptoms. Any tears or creases will be noted.
